I think Belarus is increasing their standing army by conscription. Footage being blamed on Ukranians/Poles (Poland blame is an interesting development)....these idiots being called out for metadata showing footage from 2 wks ago as something that happened yesterday. Magical "long range mortars" hitting Russian fuel pumps and being blamed on Ukranians. It's complete amateur hour...
Apparently the Russians aren't above using small nukes for utilitarian purposes beyond just MAD retaliation. That, or they don't believe Ukraine surrendered all its nukes (smart really).
To be fair on the small nukes point, we use bombs with greater capabilities than small nukes as needed.
I agree with you, Poland is an interesting development.
