While Russia is getting war authorization through its parliament, Ukraine has made significant inconsequential advances that will be reversed. Putin is building consensus within Russia to support mobilization and to use nuclear weapons, during this time, he is unable to respond to counter offensives in these regions.
This is to prevent overthrow attempts since his actions have been consigned by the parliament. Meanwhile Ukraine and the United States is building false consensus through intimidation tactics such as assassination and death lists which has hampered contingency planning for all possible outcomes. Building a false consensus is dangerous in war strategy since you are limiting yourself to a narrow view such as Ukraine victory over Russia with the assistance of NATO. We have seen this playbook with Iraq when news commentators were fired that did not adhere to prescribed dogma from the government.
The main stream media is falsely portraying these events as continuing victory of NATO/Ukraine when it is an incursion onto Russian lands that will result in the use of WMD. Since tactical nuclear weapons are limited, they could be considered no different than a MOAB putting them in the grey area of a being a WMD, and making them acceptable to use.
These annexed regions that will be populated with ethnic Russians will now serve as a triggering event, similar to an invasion into Russian territory. This was the ultimate goal of Russia was to annexed these regions and to send physical threats of nuclear war to the West. If he wanted Zelensky dead or to take Kyiv, he could have easily killed him.
The scope of this conflict by Russia was limited to annexing regions populated by Russians and make threats of nuclear war to NATO. MSM is suggesting that military defeats such as this infamous convoy has resulted in their retreat to a much smaller area.
