Ran into a podcast yesterday that greatly helped my understanding & context of this situation.
It is on a podcast called Preconceived and the episode is named Israel and Palestine - A Complex History.
It is 2 hours long but highly recommended.
Kamala, Mark and George have just got to be heart broken and crushed by this new development. How will they find a way to mentally handle this massive blow?
From my perspective, Vlad the Invader is not insane or missing some marbles. He is a rational actor. The difference is that he looks at things and makes decisions thru a very traditional Russian lens. His architecture of values is based on autocracy, orthodoxy, nationalism and ruthlessness...
By pushing the NATO vs Russia narrative to the front it is easier for Vlad to deflect attention away from the Ukrainians are giving the Russian army a big bloody nose narrative.
Agree that this story has no happy ending but they have found their hill to fight for and die on. History will remember them long after boring types like me are gone.
The number of documented Russian heavy equipment losses since the start of the war has now passed 3000 pieces!

Good daily updates with really good maps.
Limited Russian progress on the first day of the "new offensive". Mariupol has still not fallen!
