Russia can adapt. Staying refused to prepare for an invasion and punished anyone who warned him the Nazis would invade. He denied the invasion for days
When the invasion happened it was a shit show for the soviet union. Untrained men, only inexperienced officers, no preparation. Tanks would get minor mechanical problems and te crews would abandon then because they didn't know how to fix them
But they turned it around. Increased manufacturing, Stalin handed the reigns to the few experienced officers and humbles themselves and did what they advised. They changed things and made it so the tank crews training began in the factories
A bit of a back drop is after America got involved they did supply Russia with logistics so they had help. But don't underestimate the russians. Pugin has an iron grip on his people and te oligarchs. He can switch it up and put them on slave time to feed his war machine. And as the past has shown, the Russians can adapt and rise to the occasion

I was speaking about invasions into Russia proper. The land they fought Japan for was of little importance to the russians. Important enough to try and fight for at one point but after embarrassing defeats perspective changed. They thought they could just steam roll japan but it didn't work and it wasn't worth te fight
If japan actually tried to invade mainland Russia then it would be a different story

Which almost certainly has to be a consideration, right? If they can get the reactor off and cool, they can absolutely shred the surrounding power infrastructure. Russia likely wouldn't be able to bring the plant back online until the war is over. If nothing else, it either becomes a huge cost to repair the plant and get it online or they have to move the industry that fuels the war machine further back, which just creates longer logistics and complicates things, since the infrastructure and talent doesn't already exist.
Will they get there? Well, I didn't expect them to still be in Russia, and pretty much no one expected them to hold on this long. I'm skeptical, but I certainly wouldn't get against Ukraine.

We are not discussing foreign support we are discussing the claim IE Russia used a WMD they would look week, tactically be admitting defeat, and that the citizens would dispose him. Would Ukraine be week, tactically admit defeat and it's population rise up against its government if the used a nuclear bomb to repel a foreign invasion. I don't think either would domestically. It would be hugely popular in fact.

Imagine who they are fighting? Most likely these are people who got placed in those border roles to avoid Frontline fighting. Probably kids of people with money, but not enough to entirely avoid being forced into service. Much better than pushing into mined trenches.

Depleting his military forces. Getting all his equipment destroyed. Abandoning the defense of his borders. Giving his opponents perfect deniability and justification on the world stage. Destroying his economy. All to feed his antiquated imperial ambitions.

No, Pickett’s charge was the confederate last-ditch attempt at victory on the third day.
I think it was Ewell on the first day that started attacking but then hesitated after making ground and it gave the Army of the Potomac time to reorganize and hold the confederate the rest of the battle.

Doctrines are so drastically different now than Lees last attempt at a true offensive that the situations are not really comparable. The only real similarity is the goal to demoralize the Russian population. There are no more accidental battles where entire army corps stumble into each other in the woods. Modern reconnaissance is too effective.

That's a part of why the Battle of the Somme was so bloody.
The Germans were bearing down on Verdun with everything they had. There was a planned British campaign to the north for late summer/early fall but the French convinced them to move the start date up to help draw German forces away from Verdun, and it did exactly what it was supposed to.

It's not smart, it's a way to escalate the war.
Russia is basically backing the rebels in the Donbas as they is and had been a civil war in Ukraine since before the invasion. Russia don't officially have their army fighting in Ukraine, just mercenaries, same as the West with Syria, etc where we back the rebels.
By invading a tiny Russian town of no strategic importance and in the middle of nowhere gives Russia a valid excuse to send in troops and the West can't have unofficial troops in Ukraine as well to fight Russian troops as that will escalate into WWIII. The only alternative is to to commit to giving Ukraine more money and weapons, which is what Zalenski wants.

They want to continue recieving more and more money every year. You do this by saying there is some imminent threat and continue building up.
The US defense budget is 831.73 billion in 2024. China is number 2 at 227 billion. The US military expenditure every year is pretty much the same as the rest of the entire world combined. They've been spending this much for decades.

it's a reciprocation thing. Ukraine's shown that Russia cannot decisively break a defence postion, it's a slow grind of a few kms a day over months with a massive cost. If Ukraine embeds now in Kursk and maybe even Blayts or whatever the western oblast between Kursk and Belarus is called, they can say, "Oh, you want us out? get the fuck out of Kharkiv, Zapphorizia and kherson oblasts and we'll leave... BTW, you first"

You're missing the worst part of the Chinese military - tofu dreg manufacturing coupled with unfathomable corruption at every level. They've been purging a lot of people lately though, because they know how corrupt everything is - and they are running out of time to stage an invasion of Taiwan.
Remember how during the recent coup attempt in Bolivia, the military bumped a Chinese Tiger armored car lightly against a curb and the tie rod just shattered immediately.

You don't need to "buy yourself out of Ukraine" if you are from Luhansk/donezk regions (most ukrainians who run to Russia are from those regions). You just get into a car or something and run to Russia. Then you can get citizenship and then the most important part is to stay "invisible" for the government to not get drafted. That pretty much what some of my friends did who couldn't go anywhere else

Russian casualties death:injured is way higher than most modern wars. You can usually expect anywhere from 1:3 to 1:5, and the US is as high as 1:10 or 1:15, but Russia at one point was as low as 1:2 or 1:1. And their care isn’t great either.
I think we are starting to see a change of tide. I just hope this pushes Russia to leave instead of use nuclear weapons. Because at that point it’s WWIII

I think a true counteroffensive into the Ukrainian frontlines isn't on the cards. The UAF just hasn't had enough time to rebuild after the last one and those frontlines are pretty deeply defended.
The most rational analysis I've seen on this is twofold, the UA is trying to bring the Russian offensive to an end by pulling forces away from the frontlines without risking more territory loss or throwing more of its own reserves into the meat grinder. It also wants to force Russia to keep on the attack on a different front beyond the culmination point of its current offensive and thus continue attrition without giving Russia a chance to pause and rebuild.
There are also the political and strategic issues. Russia will be manning Kursk with more conscripts, which it has tried to keep mostly out of Ukraine and instead relies on contract soldiers. One of the reasons for this is that contract soldiers are mainly from the rural/poor areas but *everyone* gets conscripted. Opening up a front line on Russian soil against conscripts brings the war home to Russians on multiple fronts and poses some significant dilemmas.

Flying a quadcopter at high elevation against or in close proximity to a mountain has significant challenges and requires specialized blades to deal with thinner air density, I know as I fly and live above 8k’ in the Rockies. Honestly the wind and weather are a bigger threat than the low air density but when you put all three together it makes something that should be easy, significantly harder.
