Putin's 3-Day War: Day 100

One hundred days into Putin's 3-day war to capture Ukraine for re-integration into the Russian empire, things are not going well for anyone. Blockade of Ukraine's ports is starving Africa. Ukrainian sources estimated Russian tank losses at 1000 units some weeks ago. During the last week of May 2022, U.S. intelligence sources assessed that Putin's invading force had lost a thousand tanks. Part of Russia's disasterous performance comes down to Russian decisions to ignore Russian doctrine and take risks assaulting with armor ahead of infantry protection. In what was perhaps its worst engagement so far, Russians were allowed to slowly assemble multimillion-dollar segments of a pontoon bridge and begin crossing a key river with armor before prepared Ukrainians obliterated scores of vehicles and apparently an entire division of Russian forces.
