Interesting analysis.
The world is entering a very dangerous time
--- Quote ---Today’s ruling elite is indeed qualitatively different from previous generations. First of all, it believes in a kind of dogma about the infallibility of the West, i.e. the certainty that any deviation from the ideological and political canon established after the Cold War will be a real catastrophe for the world. And since any compromise with Russia will be such a retreat, it is necessary to prevent it at all costs.

Comedian still waiting for F-16s
A Ukrainian soldier said that Ukraine's losses are so heavy where he's fighting that they struggle to recover the bodies
--- Quote ---A major factor in the current Russian offensive is glide bombs, which Russia has stepped up the use of in the last three months.
These are Soviet-era bombs tricked out with guidance systems and wings enabling long-distance strikes.
As of last month, Russia was using them intensely around three flashpoints of the war: Kupiansk, the eastern city of Bakhmut, and Robotyne, a strategic southeastern village, the Kyiv Post reported.
Launched from aircraft at a distance and then guided to their target, the small radar signature and short flight time of glide bombs makes them hard for Ukraine's already-strained air defense systems to detect and shoot down.
Russia is reported to be ramping up its production of the bombs.
Glide bombs were a factor in the Russian capture of Avdiivka in mid-February, its only major success in recent months. Their impact in Avdiivka was reported to be devastating.
Ukraine does not release official casualty figures.
Maksym Zhorin, a soldier in Ukraine's 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, said in a Telegram post during that battle that glide bombs "completely destroy any position," The Washington Post reported.
"All buildings and structures simply turn into a pit after the arrival of just one," he said.
Struggling to push Russian forces back, Ukraine has fortified its own defensive lines.
In Kupyansk, frontline fighting is backed by two miles of trenches, dragon's teeth, and minefields, The Times reported.
However, these present no barriers for glide bombs.
The aerial threat has placed a new urgency on getting F-16s to Ukraine.
Mykola Bielieskov, a military analyst at Kyiv's National Institute for Strategic Studies, told the Post that the F-16s' modified air-to-air missiles could help Ukraine counter the threat.
However, the aircraft are not estimated to reach Ukrainian skies until at least the summer.
