From the outside looking in, that prediction sounds strangely like Putins prediction, as to what would happen with Ukraine.

Who are Russia’s friends at this point? China? North Korea? Iran?
Just Iran. Being part of NATO has held Poland and Romania back from fully entering the fight on the UA side. It's going to escalate.

I don’t see any advantage to Russia invading any NATO countries . I believe that is wishful thinking

I can’t see it .
As the Ruskie Federation crumbles it only takes one moron to self justifying pushing too far and tripping Article 4.... its the Homo Article...a NATO member can self-identify as threatened


Article 4 of the NATO treaty covers the case when a member state feels threatened by another country or a terrorist organization. The 30 member states then start formal consultations at the request of the threatened member. The talks look at whether a threat exists and how to counter it, with decisions arrived at unanimously.

The Wagner mercenary group has taken captive a Russian army brigade commander in one of the most serious cases of infighting within President Putin’s forces since the start of the war in Ukraine.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner group, released a video showing the interrogation of Lieutenant Colonel Roman Venevitin, commander of Russia’s 72nd Brigade. Venevitin, whose face was bruised, “confessed” to ordering his troops to fire on Wagner fighters as they were withdrawing from Bakhmut, the eastern Ukraine town that has witnessed the heaviest fighting of the war.

The Russian commander said he was motivated by a “personal dislike” of Wagner and that he had been drunk at the time of the attack. Prigozhin said that one of Wagner’s vehicles was damaged when Russian soldiers opened fire but that there were no casualties. The Russian ministry of defence has not commented on the video.

All plans turn to shit once the shooting starts .
Yep, but capable commanders adapt. And as far as the Russians go, not only do they not engage in combined arms warfare, their command structure is rigid and fucked. There's no such thing as an NCO in the Russian army, all commands come from REMFs and even individual soldiers tend not to show initiative so it's almost impossible for them to adapt on the fly. Then consider there's at least 3 PMCs plus the Russian army and they don't exchange intelligence with each other.

In all seriousness, the ONLY chance Russia has of winning in Ukraine is to play the Chechnya card. I don't mean that dick swinger, Kadyrov. His troops are a joke. I mean doing the same thing in Ukraine as they did in Chechnya. Forget trying to defeat the army if they keep kicking your ass and just devastate the populated areas with bombings and mass shellings until the people demand that their govt surrender.

But hey, the Russians gotta stop bombing and shelling their own people in Belgorod region first. :LOL:
