I don't see an assault on Crimea in the realm of possibility, who is talking about such an outcome? Liberation of Donbas seems more plausible and pre 2022 borders, but I don't see Ukraine pushing through the narrow Perekop Isthmus to say less of an amphibious assault...
They want a humanitarian crisis and weaken morale inside Ukrainian society. >

It’s literally never worked before. People get angry and then go back to work, production increases sometimes. Even in Japan after the nukes and Tokyo fire bombings, the population never cracked. >

It only works if there's already dissent for whomever is in power before the war and the attackers can be viewed as a sort of liberator.
I don't think Russia honestly thinks the people of Western Ukraine would ever willingly concede to them. Even at the start of the invasion a lot of rumblings were about letting Lviv remain as the sole "independent" Ukraine with everything east of the mountains becoming occupied. This is just taking out the frustrations of Russia's ineffectiveness on the people of Ukraine. >

Russia is wasting their dumbass missiles. 90% are getting shot down. Soon all chips from RU dishwashers will be exhausted. >

I thought the news said they were already out of missiles and had to use shitty Iranian suicide drones.  Is somebody else selling missiles to them? >

Running out means they are approaching what experts predict would be a safe reserve. Between shaving the margins on their reserves, and what production they can continue on their missiles they can make more. Not as fast as they are using them of course. At some point the rate of attacks will slow down as it takes longer to get a salvo ready. >

They've been running out, according to the experts, since march.
They just launched one of their biggest volleys and again the experts say: anytime now they're going to run out.
You're also saying the same thing.
Same with the 80-90% shot down. Whole cities are on fire, electricity is down. Those two things can not be both true. Or the missiles get shot down, or they hit their targets. Shot down missiles can not hit their targets but apparently, that's what's happening in Ukraine if we choose to believe these reports.
It's all not making sense. It's all propaganda from both sides. 
Let's just say: we don't know. Shit's fucked. >


They've been running out, according to the experts, since march.

Not according to experts no.  Unless you mean Reddit armchair generals.
No experts thought Russia was running out of missiles in March.  
Likewise with this:

Same with the 80-90% shot down. Whole cities are on fire, electricity is down. Those two things can not be both true.

There aren't whole cities on fire but yes electricity is down.  But how many missiles do you think it takes to knock out electricity?  It isn't that many.  Ukraine isn't a rich country, they don't have above average redundancy in their grid.  
Look at Texas - they had a major grid outage a year and a half ago that took hundreds of lives and causes hundreds of billions of dollars in property and economic damage.  For winter storms they knew were coming - not one single missile or drone blew up a substation or transmission line. >

People already forgetting that power went down in the US last month from a bunch of rednecks shooting at transformers. Seems plausible that missiles could do the job. >

We lost power for 24 hours this week due to 50 mph winds knocking down tens of thousands of trees across our city. >

Now Ukraine will fire 1 missile into Russian and the Kremlin will cry foul and say that it's not fair. >

And they'll hit a military target. >

And 8 boats will spontaneously sink. >

And 8 more Russian Oligarchs will accidentally fall out of windows. >

And 9 tank turrets will take off >

5 GOLDEN RINGS!!!! Oh wait >

Omg THAT was golden. >

Imagine the uproar from the Kremlin if Ukraine started striking Moscow.... >

They’d claim it was an unprovoked attack, take it as a declaration of war, and send nukes instead of just missiles >

"we had to, otherwise we would 'look weak'" >

Amazing that Russia turned out to be “Toxic Masculinity: The Country” >

You miss where they made domestic abuse legal in 2017? >

As we can see another sucessful hit on a strategic road crossing to the tactical bakery >

That bakery was an army barracks training hundreds of gingerbread men >

They were producing muffins of mass destruction! >

Russia is such a piece of shit. >

Let’s remember this next time a video of Russians hugging as they die in the trenches surfaces.  
Ukraine doesn’t want them there.  They want to just live their lives, and yet they are continually terrorized and hundreds of thousands of them have been massacre’d, just for existing.  
Fuck Russia. >

Don't forget all the kidnapped children, Russia is literally stealing kids like some horrible fairytale. >

Russia was having a population crisis before 2022, it's rapidly been accelerated.  These children are all part of the re-population plan. >

If genocide is part of your repopulation plan, you don’t deserve a population >

Agreed. >

Every time Ukraine at the verge of making a military break through in the front line, Russia will launch everything randomly towards Ukraine. Just like the tantrum of a spoiled child. >

Eventually the impact wears off. It’s at its peak now due to being winter, once it changes momentum swings back in Ukraines favour. >

Especially once the ground freezes enough in the south for Ukraine to start major counter offensives. >

I know they’ve got big eyes for Melitopol and eastern Kherson at the moment could be a massacre for the Russians pushed back into Crimea (with an assault there not too far behind) 
There’s also talk that they’re close to taking Kremiina even without the ground freezing.
