Germany will send 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 stinger missiles to Ukraine, the German chancellor said on Saturday. Finally. That is huge change in German policy.

My daughter works for a company that measures the amount of oil in a storage tank using satellites with SAR ( synthetic aperture radar) which works at night, through storms, in real-time. They can count cars in a parking lot, and track movements over time using a library of images. It's pretty amazing stuff, and most of it is free from governments who own the satellites.
While the US and NATO may not be willing to put boots on the ground, they are definitely feeding the Ukrainians very detailed information on movements. The cameras are nice...but not so necessary.
An example of the technology, they held a contest to see what people thought would be interesting, and the winner was the Monitoring of Illegal Fishing
The old days of cops in cars doing a stakeout are obsolete, they use cell phone mobility data and cameras that alert and playback any interesting event. And the satellites, I hear you, widely used by short sellers on wall Street, insurance companies, lots of ways to have awareness without being present.

Fascinating thread about urban warfare in Ukraine. For instance, the city has cameras everywhere naturally, si they were able to easily watch incoming tanks, etc., without being in that physical space. Took the Russians a while to figure that out and disable them.

couple of thoughts on this
could he have miscalculated?
short term maybe:
he's going to war with the tools he has, some are described by a couple of analysts as vintage 1970s while the ukrianes have a lot of 2000s tech like javelins and NLAWS
or he just doesn't want to destroy infrastructure and minimize damage to his victims
long term: he most certainly did, the fallout and blowback from this will remove any doubt that anyone has about his character/intentions
and putin doesn't have the resources to sustain his occupation
eventually he will have to leave
it's looking like this war is between putin (not russia/russians) and the ukraine
hopefully in his demise he doesn't try and take too many innocent people with him

Just watching a USA air force F16 been doing heaps of crazy figure 8 's along the Ukraine/Romanian border while couple USA helicopters were doing similar along the Polish/Ukraine border. No commercial aircraft in Ukraine airspace, elsewhere the skies are packed.
Fascinating but ever so sad whats taking place.
Was listening to some Ukrainians reporting that they were fleeing and having to abandon much loved pets. One guy basically ditched a load of food and water on the floor of his house leaving his dog to whatever , fully expecting to have said a final goodbye. I would be shattered to have to do that to my dogs. War stinks.

More important. When it comes to US foreign policy, transparency and accountability should always be avoided at all costs.
Historical lessons should always be avoided. Treaty of Versailles and WW II? Watz dat?
Thankfully the USA and NATO took advantage of Russia's weakness after the implosion the Soviet Union and pushed NATO membership into the Baltic states and other former Warsaw Pact member nations.
Personally, I believe the USA should avoid the "Man of Great Stature" approach to international relations and foreign policy but if the will of the American people is to accelerate US hegemonic decline maybe that points a bright Panglossian future.
Your rabid disdain of US foreign policy, while understandable, is making you blind to the legitimate interests of the people of the former Eastern bloc, who you here oh-so-casually cast at the feet of a despotic power. They lived through 45 years of Soviet occupation. They most certainly do not want to go back.

The civilians I knew were killed, the parents of colleagues were left homeless, some were injured in the blood transfusion center.
This is genocide, terrorism and a crime against humanity. Fights are underway! We will defend our city, truth and God are behind us! Thanks to everyone who supports us! Pray for Ukraine ð
