Which bits don't you agree with AL?
Big things going on at the Eastern Front. Sounds like the Russian defence at Izyum is evaporating rapidly.

Genuinely interested to read about it.This about Izyum. https://mobile.twitter.com/PhillipsPOBrien/status/1568301441189662720Need to be careful as this is not an independent source. But this is coming after independently verified news that the Ukrainians have driven a massive wedge through the Russian front line in the past 3 days.https://mobile.twitter.com/IAPonomarenko/status/1568218806170054656Word is that the Kherson attack was a feint. Russian bought it and rushed troops from the Kharkhiv front to shore up Kherson. Then Ukraine launched the planned attack between Kharkhiv and Izyum.There are reports of Russian soldiers being captured having run away and changed into civilian clothes. And videos of Russian tanks retreating at top speed with troops hanging to the turrets. Could be a very big development.
There is no favourable endgame in any of this for anyone.
Putin won't dare use nukes.We'll see what he is over the next few weeks. He's built up this image of a ruthless, brilliant strategist. Inside I think he's a terrified minor thug who no-one ever stood up to before. If this Ukraine attack is the start of the end of the war, it's also the start of the end of him.

And NATO ends up at the border with Russia
''A group of district council members in St. Petersburg, President Vladimir Putin’s hometown, called for the Russian leader to be charged with treason and removed from office in a rare but brazen protest against the war in Ukraine''https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/09/09/lawmakers-putin-impeachment-censure-war/good luck with that one then, but shows as did the vid you posted that dissent is there and hopefully growing, brave stuff
And NATO HASN’t even shown its teeth yet, if Russia can’t beat Ukraine they have no chance of taking NATO on
