The Bear Got Smarter
Here is something that should keep you awake at night.
Russia’s army is not the rabble it appeared to be in the spring of 2022, when its columns broke down on Ukrainian roads and its generals apparently couldn’t read a map. That army is gone. What replaced it is, by NATO’s own assessment, significantly more lethal than anything Russia has fielded since the Cold War.
General Cavoli told Congress that Russia has been rebuilding faster than American intelligence estimated. Most branches remain largely unaffected by the war. The land forces absorbed the worst of it: over two thousand tanks destroyed and more than 315,000 soldiers killed or wounded. And yet the army today is fifteen percent larger than it was on the morning Russia crossed the Ukrainian border. 
The thing about throwing a million men into a meat grinder is that the ones who come out the other side know exactly how it works. They know where the drones come from. They know which NATO systems to fear and which can be worked around. Around 30,000 to 40,000 fresh recruits have been arriving each month since 2023, and many are not being sent to the front. They are being trained, equipped, and held in reserve. 
Dutch intelligence now assesses that within six months of any ceasefire, Russia could conduct a localised war against a neighbour. Within two years, it could credibly threaten NATO members in the Baltics. 
The Russian army that invaded Ukraine was arrogant and operationally incompetent. The one being assembled today has four years of the most intense land warfare since 1945 baked into its institutional memory. It has studied its own failures in forensic detail and adapted accordingly.
Underestimating it once was a mistake. Doing it twice would be something else entirely.

@Vanderbilt83 Being a couple of years out is a mistake but 20, nah that's a deliberate attempt to deceive the gullible dickheads who follow him!

This is Edward. He was given 6 months to live after being found as a stray. His family was determined to give him the best few months possible, so they introduced him to the ice cream truck. That was 27 months ago. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

@domdyer70 If there wasn’t a market for this horror it would stop. Tourists should make a stand.

Today contractors from National Grid turned up at this farm ready to clear all of this vegetation, including the four oaks, without the required dawn bird survey.
It is only because the land owner was on his toes and challenged them that they left.
Plus National Grid has not explained why it is ‘not practicable’ to uphold their DCO obligation to avoid nesting season.
They were not even able to explain why the oaks need to be felled for a bell mouth when they do not cause visibility issues.
This is a horrific disregard for nature.
(This is Bramford to Twinstead, ‘only’ 30km long. Imagine the destruction if Norwich to Tilbury at 180km goes ahead as proposed. We seek underground HVDC laid by cable ploughs for N2T)

@MonicaCollantin That’s not even off the table. He’s on the implant for six months to see if neutering makes him even more sociopathic.

@MattCas04807118 They could have done with the battering ram the coppers use. Two bashes and the door comes down. Well done lads!
