Good grief. Radioactive Supermutant Zombies.
Its been trending all over the news right now. The russian president who is obviously frustrated at not capturing the capital in 48 hours and has been suffering unprecedented losses for more than a week finally dropped the dreaded "N-word".
As if to remind the world that he is a global pariah twice over, he's also a sore loser. Him and his bff in beijing.
What can we expect? Hoarding of iodine, gas masks, panicky global markets, petrol prices skyrocketing, food shortage, doomsday cults, and lots & lots of media hype.

EXPECTATIONS VS REALITY
For years russia's vaunted military stood as the poster-boy for those edgy anti-NATO pseudo-analysts. The heirs of the glorious Soviet war-machine could not be beat. Asymmetrical warfare will thwart the West! Or so I've heard.
The past week has shown how ill-equipped their units are. The low morale and overall quality of their soldiers laid bare. Even their vast air force was a no-show.
Here's my prediction: Putin will strike a deal before he gets ousted. He will look like the winner in some ways, but the losses are already piling up too fast for him to hold on to power for long.
Wait till the soldiers come home and tell everyone how they got ambushed at every turn by a supposedly inferior country. How farmers and tractors claimed dozens of their main battle tanks. How they resorted to war crimes because of their ineptitude. Not to mention the near-trillion dollar losses they will take this year from sanctions and pull-outs from their country.
Dude they practically nuked themselves in the foot.
Who else remembers Boris Yeltsin's joke of an economy?
Revolutions have happened for less, comrade.

Nobody expected the Ukrainian resistance to be this shockingly good. They are resisting with unparalleled courage and ingenuity against a world power.
Ukraine no longer fights alone. Capable volunteers of the truest sense from around the free world are arriving by the thousands.
Pretty sure that china is looking at the global support in horror. Good. Let them think twice about touching Taiwan. Nobody loves them either.

When the time comes, we should remember their example. Be it the vast hordes of invaders, mutants, the living dead, or all of that rolled into one... Look to Kyiv for inspiration.
Stay vigilant!
