I just saw this elsewhere and thought we've got to come up with a Ghost of Kyiv level name for this(these) farmer(s).
Slow Ghost of the Plains seems a little long.
I think most is going to replenishing the strategic reserves Trump sold off(100 Million barrels or more) which brings up....never mind it would be cloakroom stuff.
And to think Pornhub was one of the leaders in addition to they are be publicly recognized. SciFi writers have been predicting this level of corporate warfare for decades. Yes, I know corporate warfare isn't new but this is beyond natural resources.
Nuke fear with a side of telling your people the Neo Nazis are so desperate they tried to make a disaster worse than Chernobyl so we have to send more RU troops in for everyone's safety.
Or just plain old propaganda for the folks back home that RU has to send their sons to keep the reactor safe so we don't see a bigger Chernobyl.
It appears the 'stuck' convoy was supposed to rendezvous with troops flown into Hostomel to quickly over take Kyiv, via shock and awe, so RU didn't have to amass the number of troops on the border that would make it obvious there was a much larger objective. If the confidence was high enough that RU minimally staffed the convoy it could explain why our military pundits are mystified on why they are 3 across stuck. It may be the equivalent of circling the wagons for defense. https://www.wsj.com/articles/putin-thought-ukraine-would-fall-quickly-an-airport-battle-proved-him-wrong-11646343121
Or it is Mad Vlad’s Tom Clancy type nuke off ramp. If Vlad can’t have it no one can. Sorry mothers of Russia the Neo Nazis were so desperate they destroyed the Zaporizhia reactor and killed your sons and destroyed theRussian Orthodox home. We are quickly withdrawing our remaining valiant heroes out of the radiation. Never have to bring a body home and used tactical nuke with firing a nuke.
