Looks like the war is entering the next phase. Russia will have their sham referendums, immediately annex all the currently occupied territory, and then tell the world that if anyone attacks "russia" they'll get nuked. Where things go from there will be uncharted territory, but it's clear the war is going to get a big shake-up in September. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62965993 Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he believes Russia's leader is seeking an end to the war he began in Ukraine, and that a "significant step" will be made.' *hours later* https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62965998 Almost seven months after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, areas under Moscow's control have announced plans for urgent so-called referendums on joining Russia. The deputy head of Russia's security council, Dmitry Medvedev, said early on Tuesday that holding votes in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk - also known as Donbas - would correct "historical justice" and be irreversible: "After the amendments to the constitution of our state, no future leader of Russia, no official will be able to reverse these decisions." --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

For those that are wondering "what's the big deal", Russia hasn't actually declared war yet, which technically limits the resources they can dedicate to the fight. With them starting to lose ground, analysts are starting to wonder when, not if, Russia will formally declare war. Once they annex these territories in a sham referendum, any attack on those locations will be "attacks on Russian soil" which would be enough justification for Putin to get full war powers. That could lead to a Russian military draft, increased justification for using long range missiles to hit infrastructure targets elsewhere in the country, and push them one step closer to using other heavy weapons not yet deployed. Not to say all that will definitely happen, but what we're seeing here is the groundwork being laid for a "second offensive" by Russia going into winter. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Bump. Russia activated their reserves this morning and warned any attack on "Russian territory" would be met with nukes, so more or less exactly what people have been predicting. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Takuya_Lee posted... No he won't nuke anyone. He's trying to fear monger out of a disaster situation. Generally I agree. Putin uses nuclear threats the way a little kid might threaten to go get his dad, but I'm starting to see real analysts highlighting that as things get more desperate for russia, the likelihood of them actually using tactical nukes starts to get real: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-62970683 Dr Robert Seely, MP for Isle of Wight and a specialist on Russian warfare, warns that the West should assume Putins threat to use nuclear weapons in his war in Ukraine is real. Senior UK ministers and officials have previously dismissed such a threat as bluster. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Russia's economy is weak and more soldiers aren't going to help much if they can't properly equip, train, and supply them. Plus, mobilizing reserves is likely to not play very well. Morale and leadership are already poor. Ukraine, meanwhile, has essentially infinite amounts of certain kinds of hardware as well as the ability to rotate its forces in and out of active combat, and Russia escalating could help its suppliers get over their reluctance to furnish Ukraine with certain kinds of hardware. --- I'm Queen of Tomorrow baby!
