Nepotism is one of the foundations of putinism. The other one is fear.
Sad news is, according to DeepState, they keep advancing. The territorial gains may seem small, but since Putler would waste ruSSia’s entire population to achieve his fucking goals, this is reason for concern. And NATO… crickets.
Couldn’t agree more. We see repots of success of our heroes but then the territory is being lost. I don’t understand the asymmetry of the strategy. As Red said, “I’m no general” but I sure I wish I understood more.
The roaches are drunk and drugged up and/or are being massively coerced to attack, with them being in a state of mind not easily understood for an outsider. Their officers are all cold-blooded ghouls who see only a conquered plot of land, even if none of their meat puppets survive.
The Ukrainians are the complete opposite. They inflict as many losses on the roach army as possible, and when the situation calls for it, they will retreat.
It’s been said many times before, trading men and material for a few yards of dirt or an abandoned village is not a smart strategy. Defending such places at a high cost in men and material is also not smart.
As long as the roach army is still stronger than the Ukrainian one, this procedure will continue.
If … IF … the West had a spine, they would send troops into Ukraine to at least take over tasks in the rear and Belarus border area to free up tens and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to fight on the front. Sending in planes and choppers would also be a powerful help.
Thanks OFP but when I see excerpts from Defense Express and ISW saying the orcs gain 200 sq kilometers during this summer offensive is discouraging. Certainly not being a military strategist I don’t have the knowledge to opine on our strategy but as an ordinary person with a reasonable intelligence I can’t just simply agree that everything is OK. It’s not. But, all that said, I read recently that we regained 7% of the territory the orcs got in 2022. That’s nice to hear.
I know what you mean, Sir Cap.
But, what are 200 sq. km.? That’s a piece of land 10 times 20 kilometers. Compared to Ukraine’s size, that’s pathetically small, especially when you know that lots of meat and material had been sacrificed for this sliver of land.
Nobody ever said that everything’s okay. Everything is not okay. When I get a depressed feeling, I think about the start of the war. I, like everyone else, thought that Ukraine was finished. But, here we are…
