This is what Russia's enormous attack on Ukraine looked like yesterday. I marked my house (in Slovakia) with red arrow (far left).

"Over the two plus years of the war the U.S. has used a 'boiling the frog' strategy against Russia. It increased the temperature by slowly increasing the reach and lethality of the weapons it has provided to Ukraine. In each such step, the delivery of tanks, of Himars, of ATAMACs, of allowing Ukraine to use these on Russian grounds, was declared to be a move across imaginary Russian red lines. Each such step was accompanied by propaganda which claimed that Russia was looking into a nuclear response.
"The aim was to push Russia into a situation where it could either make concessions over Ukraine or use nuclear weapons. The U.S. was sure that Russia would refrain from the later because it would put Russia into the position of an international pariah. By going nuclear it would lose support from its allies in China and beyond. It would also risk an all out nuclear war.
"The strategy would probably have worked if Russia had not found an asymmetric response against it. It now has non-nuclear weapons, (the Oreshnik will not be the only one), which allow it to apply the equivalent of nuclear strikes without the dirty side effects of actually going nuclear."

TIL: In 1958, a nuclear bomb was accidentally dropped off the coast of Georgia, USA—and it’s still lost today. Known as the "Tybee Bomb," it was a 7,600-pound hydrogen bomb. Officials claim it's not dangerous unless disturbed, but its exact location remains a mystery.

❗️🏴☠️🇹🇷💥🇸🇾 HTS* terrorists have entered the western districts of Aleppo and are advancing rapidly.
The defense of the government forces continues to collapse. There are many reasons for this - the economic crisis after the war was frozen. Resting on the laurels of past victories, and miscalculation that the militants will not use FPV drones and new technologies. And the removal of the most talented commanders from command due to their difficult character and ambitions. But these military leaders were fathers to their soldiers, and did not line their pockets with money.
Yes, many analysts are comparing what is happening to the rapid capture of Mosul in 2014 by ISIS*.
And here I agree. Especially in that such operations do not exclude bribery of senior officials from local security forces. When the average salary in the country can buy 2 kilograms of meat and corruption reigns. And soldiers are given a ration of 2 potatoes and an egg per day.
In 2012, when all of Syria was shaken by terrorist attacks and clashes with militant groups, Aleppo almost fell for this very reason. And for four long years there was a war there.
In any case, what is happening is an axiom of "fixed matches". While some are relaxed, someone is always sharpening a knife to attack. And he strikes at the right moment. This has always been the case and will always be the case in the history of wars.
