    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    It has substantially happened already. I would expect to see an offensive designed to destroy the Ukrainian military before aligning their Russian forces along defensible terrain.

    I think a great deal of that is propaganda. Ukraine has pushed back Russia to a loss of 50% of its initial gains that was created by a surprise surge that most thought was a bluff.

    The question is if Russia wins a war of attrition before Russia loses the propaganda war with its own people.
    A 180,000 kids have come home wounded or in caskets to their Russian mothers. But I have to admit that number that is an estimate form Norwegian officials and sounds high.
    That's 7 times US casualties and wounded in 20 years of Iraq and Afghanistan
    Many others watched their kids leave the country.

    Russia has always taken high casualties. Will this time be different?

    They pulled out of Afghanistan for far less. They are not being invaded and this is not the early 1900s anymore.

    This is a vital national interest for Russia.
