(#5207) Time to pay the piper for putin!

      The enormous counter offensive of the Ukrainian armed forces and organized resistance within the currently but not for long occupied territories of Ukraine are imminent. Some, me included, believe the counter offensive has already begun, albeit in a more cautious, probing way. With the plans for the counter offensive already leaked by a maga sympathizer in the US government to favor Russia, the counter offensive had to undergo a reshape of sorts to negate as much as possible the possibility that the opinions of the US government concerning the counter offensive weren't a head fake ploy. That being said the time since the leak has been sufficiently passed so as to lessen any concrete strategy that might have been in place at that time.
     Much like an avalanche forcing its way down a mountainside, the Ukrainian counter offensive is going to be unstoppable when it is timed to happen in full. The conditions were set months before in the hard work of causing a lot of attrition to Russian forces in the effected areas. The how the counter offensive will take shape is still a mystery but the effect will be nonetheless efficient. The Russian brain trust, such as it is, already knows that their time on Ukrainian soil is short as evacuations have already begun. As well the retrenchment of Russian forces to more defendable positions within Ukraine signifies their understanding that they are not the aggressors anymore.
     The exposed internal fighting among the leaders of the Russian forces has also thrown another layer of unwanted complexity upon the putin led invaders. Turning on themselves just when the Ukrainians are about to unleash a vengeance upon them is not good timing for their ability to survive. The total Russian mismanagement of their invasion of Ukraine when they had all the momentum and power at the beginning has made Russia look foolish and inept. Now Russia will also be neutered going forward as they have already lost nearly 200,000 troops and more than half their conventional armaments over the last 15 or so months. The end of putin and Russia as a perceived world power is nearly here. The Ukrainian counter offensive will be the hammer that will imminently drive that nail home!
