It has been suggested that Biden might unleash the cyber warfare division to do to Putin what his puppets have done to everyone else for years and go several steps further. Stop trains, shut down power stations.... This is what the real world war three looks like. NOT invading troops or nuclear missiles.
Scary as *** that it has got to this. I curse those who created this, may they rott in hell.
For those who have eyes and ears, here's a brutally honest assessment of what's happening in Ukraine from one of their own (US) analysts.

The military operation in Ukraine should be completed by March 2. Then the "cleansing" of cities from Nazis and bandits with weapons will begin In the coming days, the grouping of Ukrainian troops in Kramatorsk (blue oval) will be destroyed. Kiev will be completely surrounded and blocked
Unfortunately, I can't open links to Twitter, so I can't comment on them. If you are interested in the Russian view of this war, I am ready to answer
Complete and unconditional surrender
I did not suggest it was my theory or tactic, just that is might be a crunch point.It has been suggested that Biden might unleash the cyber warfare division to do to Putin what his puppets have done to everyone else for years and go several steps further.

NATO recently confirmed that cyber warfare could trigger Article 5, while Russia's nuclear doctrine explicitly includes provisions for a nuclear reaction to non-nuclear attacks that "threaten the very existence of the state". I'd tread carefully here... a response in kind (i.e. in the cyber domain) is likely, but are you willing to test that theory just yet? It could easily spill over.
Also, there has been plenty of cyber warfare against Russia by the US in the past already, under the "Defend Forward" strategy. Nobody seems to acknowledge so, but it's never been a one-way street, really.
Hmmm. I don't believe we'll see any news of direct involvement. It would make more sense for US capability to remain opaque and preparing for any potential eventualities.It has been suggested that Biden might unleash the cyber warfare division to do to Putin what his puppets have done to everyone else for years and go several steps further.

So assuming there’s not a surrender, the city street cleaning is a Berlin/Stalingrad type street to street/house to house assault?
Will Russia use tactical nukes to avoid the inherently high assaulting personnel losses of such operations?
Complete and unconditional surrender
Never gonna happen. Unless Russia can take the entire country, whatever is left of Ukraine will be welcomed into NATO with open arms. Congratulations Putin, you played yourself.

This is getting seriously terrifying;- Latest New;- EU to supply fighter jets to Ukraine and US citizens told to leave Moscow by any means.
EU Countries To Send 'Fighter Jets' To Ukraine: Borrell
EU countries will send "fighter jets" to Ukraine at Kyiv's request to help it counter the Russian air and land assault, the bloc's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Sunday.www.barrons.com
Security Alert: Limited Flights Into and Out of Russia
(February 27, 2022) Location: Russia Event: An increasing number of airlines are cancelling flights into and out of Russia, and numerous countries haveru.usembassy.gov
It’s spiralling out of control, at this rate and with no moderation, I reckon there’s a 50:50 chance of some degree of nuclear exchange by this time next Sunday maybe a lot sooner.

To be fair he and his whole concept of Realism is also taught in many political science graduate-level classes as archaic, non quantitatively supported, or even just hand waving.
The idea that countries in 2022 would be part of a sphere of influence or a border zone is silly in a post-cold war era.
A more common concept, at least in the academic realm, is that this conflict is closer to what happens when a rapidly declining power lashes out to compensate for perceived increased security concerns or even just the decline in status itself. Normally associated with very violent colonial wars in which the costs/casualties seemed far in excess of what could be gained in money or prestige. If the Twitter rumor/report is accurate of state-sponsored media mass uploading a prewritten report on the annexation of Ukraine to be the foundation of a new unified Russian people and rebuilding of a lost power then it would make more policy sense than some realism marketing.
Not to be mean but I think it's telling that when individuals tried to find Russian products to boycott they couldn't find something besides vodka. They're the only member of the prominent security council of the UN with such little economic influence on the world. Energy exports and military might make the news on sites such as this but all the others UK/France/China/US are major players in every single industry that exists. That's not to say they don't have a technological base, they clearly do, but it's one that is replaceable to an export market. I think the Russians have significantly overestimated their importance to other countries when the costs of economic restrictions are felt, just how much of a shock this is to the global community, and have clearly underestimated the organization of Ukraine.
Complete and unconditional surrender
They're not going to get that. Any thoughts on the next action then let's all be honest nukes are scary but they can't be used unless you really want to end the world.
Are we really at the point that the Russians thought they could just drive past the cities, send a few special forces into Kiev, overthrow the government, put a puppet in place, go home, all within less than a week and if they can't do it they're going to kill millions?
They haven't thought it through. To the same point, I don't think the belligerents have thought through repercussions of the nuclear threat.
Yeah, the supply of fighter jets is more than a little disconcerting - I hope whoever proposed that has carefully thought it through...
I may be missing some vital piece in the puzzle, but I fear the potential for escalation and miscalculation is sky high here.

My understanding is that a small fraction of the 190k troops on the border have actually entered Ukraine so farComplete and unconditional surrender

Russia is not all in... yet. Force size demonstrates he thought they would walk in, escalate then de-escalate.
Ukraine's resistance and NATO's response makes it more likely, to me, that P may need more troops. Any indication that additional reserves are being staged?
NATO moves aircraft into position just in case and now you're using that to justify Russia's behavior?
