Russia won't totally encircle IMO. They don't want to have to manage the imprisonment of 10,000 POWs.

What Russia has done in other regions is take control of the supply route via fire control and recon, denying AFU reinforcements and arms, whilst giving Ukrainian troops a high-attrition corridor to evacuate through.

That way, Russian troops don't need to take a bunch of prisoners but also don't enjoy superior numbers and supplies to any Ukrainian forces remaining in the pocket.

Against a larger enemy, one that poses an existential threat to Moscow, encirclement is worth the costs implied, just to disarm as many men in one operation as possible. But the general staff are likely very aware that it is "cheaper" to grind them down with pincer movement after pincer movement until the war is over.

this article stinks of trump derangement syndrome. They scrape a single non-american reference to Putin's influence within the western right wing movement (Le pen lmao) and once again talks of "election meddling" which I presume to them means russiagate.

The best it could do was admit that Putin is going to win the Ukraine war, but every word since is america-brained horseshit.

giving a wannabe dictator a free ride out of prison with the backing of the military has gone so well historically

Yeah these folks don't want Assad back. They might have some history with the regime, but only because Assad survived thanks to a loose alliance of alawites, druze, and other groups that faced total destruction under a Wahabbi fascist regime.

These people will not welcome bashar back. They'll make something better.

Maybe someone can goad ben ~~gurion~~ gvir into insulting Trump so he cuts arms to Israel next

God knows anymore. Sometimes I think the handlers are getting free reign under Trump but other times it could easily just be Trump being a pissbaby that's driving his policy manoeuvres.

Mr Trump, tear down this empire

This isn't big news IMO. SteamOS has been planned for a "hardware agnostic" release with a proper installer for a while now. Makes sense they'd add some graphics to market devices with.

That being said, it would be nice if it's truly a precursor to some new handhelds supporting SteamOS as first party options; more Devs and more users on Linux is a great thing. But I wouldn't take this as a sign of anything certain yet
