1/ #RussianJuggernaut #RussiaUkraineWar My numerous tweets/threads/observations from Mar 22 onwards are on Twitter. I have always maintained that Russia holds the reins and is nose dragging the NATO and US month on month. Russia was never interested to finish the war. Russia did

2/ #RussianJuggernaut #RussiaUkraineWar I have shared my thoughts very regularly & till now there has been no reading of 'future' of this war which I have read and tweeted. The "WAR" finished in the first two weeks itself. Those calling this as Russia-Ukraine War (my hashtag too)

3/ do that to keep NATO-US-Ukraine morale 'high' and have extensively used 'propaganda' as a tool. We cannot be 'pro-Russia' or 'pro-Ukraine-NATO-US', we simply need to 'understand' war. Russia did not attack Ukraine as a knee jerk reaction. It prepared for 15 years. Russia

4/ escalated the NATO-Ukraine issue deliberately year on year. Till it was ready. Russias aim is not Ukraine. Ukraine was its 5th Generation War 'reason' to take on complete NATO without letting NATO join war and to frustrate US to level of exhaustion. Kiev was safe, very safe...

5/ where is the safety now? The bombs have started raining on Ukraine. Russia has kept NATO under control by using 'gas', US by distance and by punishing Ukraine at will, it is hurting NATO and US much more without getting involved in a direct conflict. A nuclear threat last week

6/ suddenly set panic among NATO-US combine. Russian aim is very straightforward-keep the war 'alive' till winters set in. Disregard all propaganda on Russian casualties, Defence Minister being sacked, youth running away etc. or the brave Ukrainian Army 'destroying' Russian Army.

7/ None of us are on ground and we need not believe those reporting from ground. Each has a reason to report what they do. We simply need to put all events on a timeline to 'read' the war. The situation is clear, winters are coming closer, NATO is in panic mode, US as always

8/ gets everything wrong, Ukraine wants to end the war but Russia will not let it, Russia has been in drivers seat from Day-1 and has been 'writing' the war. It still is. This is WAR and not a evening brawl. Each side will take beating, losses, deaths, destruction etc. is

9/ inseparable part of war. We cannot draw conclusions based on a bridge destroyed or few tanks blown off. IN MY OPINION........I dont see any end to war at least till winters set in. I expect some drastic actions from Russia to shock the world with an aim to prolong the war.

10/ Russia will keep the war on since it legitimises actions against any country that tries to go against it. NATO will start showing cracks as the winters set in. Energy will be the reason. US will remain a poor bystander. Ukraine will experience harsher & harsher punishment.

11/Last-for-now. Russia will expose US, NATO and create new power centres. Ukraine will suffer more and any number of offer for talks will be ignored. As of now, next 50 days matter a lot. Ask me any questions... use hashtag #TellMeColPande
