Guardian: Reports " Ukraine missile strike on Russian-held city of Makiivka kills scores of troops....Moscow says 63 of its soldiers died in attack on school building used as barracks amid claims death toll could be higher "
Lets Get Real:
This could be the biggest attack on Russians forces since the War started, as noted in the article, also those bloggers who support the WAR in Russia are more critical than those thrown in to jail. The problem is that the pro invasion bloggers want a tough stand by the Kremlin, even if that means a dirty bomb or a tactical nuclear bomb. Thus it can be postulated that the Russians will want to hit back HARD, just to make the point, that they can hit back even harder than the Ukraine can attack. As noted by this blogger and other commentary, the Putin Regime to survive might need to escalate the WAR, either by going to attack a NATO Country or the border that allows the NATO forces to move military kit to the Kyiv Government. The real worry is that should Putin FALL or fall through a window ( I wonder how that thought came about ) then his successor might be even more of a SOB, and will go further. The problem with WARS, are the unknown of the unknowns, EVENTS that come from nowhere, and have not been planned for, both NATO and one assumes the Kremlin does not want WW3, the problem might be to stop it before it gets there, as JFK said during the Cuban missile, there is always some SOB who never gets the WORD. It only needs a major incident, a nuclear plant in the Ukraine being hit and releasing radiation, or a actual Russian missile hitting a NATO Country on purpose or accident, or a new offensive by Russian that gets close to taking Kyiv, this would force the WEST to act, Russian cannot be allowed to win or appear to win.
