Don’t forget brave, you can really see the courage
jkf, you’re hopeless
Through the magic of media literacy, you too can critically navigate the treacherous anglophone media space
It seems rather there is one right in front of me
It looks like the answer is yes
I googled this after your comment. It’s pretty thinly sourced but might actually be happening. Whether it is or not doesn’t really have any bearing on the UA’s critical manpower shortage and inability to man key positions.
I update my question to:
“When the Russians win decisively on the battlefield, Will you question all the sources that told you that Russia is on the brink of collapse and Ukraine is winning the war for years? Or will you come up with new cope?”
If and when the Russians have a decisive victory on the battlefield, will you question the sources that told you all this shit about donkeys or will you explain it away with some new cope?
Your words not mine ✌️
Imagine saying this when your entire media diet is US propaganda
Stay classy,

All the lies and the hate are costing the West everything. No one will say our downfall was undeserved
Do you literally believe I get paid to do this?
The purpose of the Azov intervention was to completely close the breakout and thus restore the last line of defense in Donetsk. This has absolutely not happened. Also, do you understand how desperate you have to be to fully commit the “imperial guard”? With their best reserve units committed, Ukrainians have no strategic flexibility.
Russia just yesterday (attempted to) launched an attack to reach the soldiers who were cut off, losing over 100 more soldiers and a ton of armored vehicles,
Where in the front did this happen? I’m not saying it didn’t, but it doesn’t line up with anything I have heard for a long time.
Slowly is the key here. So slow it might as well not be happening. It’s been what, an entire year where Pokrovsk has been “surrounded” and Russia still can’t make any more progress?
Every one of those cities is being encircled by 20-50 additional km^2 every week. The Ukrainians are powerless to push back the pincers. Once again, the Russian goal is attrition not territory. Territory is a side effect but also a multiplier. Ukrainian logistic losses will be proportional to the number of supported troops and the length of vulnerable roadway.
Tell me you have no idea about what’s going on with the front line without actually saying it…
City after city, field after field, the Ukrainians contest impossible encircled positions, taking huge losses. It will be the same in this next batch of cities unless the Ukrainians can pull their head out of their ass and actually have strategic vision.
If you want to actually know what’s going on, here are two solid neutral mappers to watch:
Russia is losing their ability to refine oil, and their citizens are being made to get by without gas for their cars, as one example where Russia is struggling.
Do westerners really believe this? The Ukrainians do some damage to one refinery and suddenly the world’s commodity superpower is struggling to fuel its vehicles?
Not to mention all the dead
Are you actually believing the Russian casualty figures put out by the Ukrainians? Objective evidence suggests that the casualty numbers are actually reversed, or in other words that the Ukrainians are reporting their own casualties as Russians.
and their inability to field vehicles larger than a motorcycle for the most part now.
“For the most part” doing lots of heavy lifting here. Motorcycle units / DRGs are just more evidence that we are in a new phase of the war. The Ukrainian lines are so porous that these tactics have proven effective in weakening the Ukrainian rear (logistics, fpv nests etc)
If we’re using taking ground as a measure
The Russian objective is the strategic defeat of the Ukrainian military. The primary measure is attrition. If the Ukrainians stopped defending encircled cities, then the encirclement of major cities would have less of a bearing on attrition, but that’s not the world we live in.
If that’s true, what does that say about the Ukrainian unit strength?
In today’s lesson, we will learn about the difference between hating the US propaganda machine and having cultural/ethnic hatred for the Russian people
Probably watches RT 24/7 or so
You libs are always so confident of your stereotypes. RT’s coverage rarely interests me. Any honest map maker knows the direction this conflict is going
Literally in every way? The economic and industrial war has had a laughably lopsided result. Ukraine’s manpower shortage keeps getting worse and worse. They have committed their “last stand” Azov reserves to the Pokrovsk breakout and barely made a dent. Lyman, Pokrovsk, Konstantinivka, and even Kramatorsk are being slowly surrounded and choked off.
Surely you have seen how desperate the West is to freeze the conflict and how calmly determined the Russians are by comparison?
They are fumbling now because of their hubris, overextension, and the contradictions of the system.
In the '90s, they believed that exposing China to capitalism would naturally and inevitably cause the fall of the Communist system, so they threw the doors wide open.
2001 is when China joined to the WTO and also when…9/11 happened, crippling and distracting the Western empire for over two decades.
When Hillary Neocon Clinton became Secretary of State in 2016, she unveiled with much fanfare the “pivot to Asia”. The Obama administration spent the next 8 years trying to replicate the EU and NATO in Southeast Asia. (TPP and the Quad).
Trump-1 came into office and immediately withdrew the US from the TPP. He did some blustering and flailing around with tariffs, which people seemed to think constituted containment of China at the time.
Biden came into office and he and the other Western leaders sabotaged and escalated their way into the Ukraine war. (Read up on the Istanbul process before you get annoying in the replies, Libs). You can read The New Atlas for excellent analysis about how this is a substrategy for Chinese containment, which is an argument that I agree with. However, it had the effect of once again paralyzing, weakening, and distracting the Western imperial alliance.
Now we are in Trump-2. He committed perhaps the worst foreign policy blunder in the history of the US empire when he went on the attack against India with tariffs to try and separate them from Russia. This blew black in the most spectacular fashion by driving them closer to Russia and kicking off a rapprochement with China that is still bearing diplomatic fruit to this day. Therefore, we can say that Trump severely weakened the overall strategic plan for the Asia Pacific region by single-handedly preventing TPP and the Quad from coming into force as tools of the US empire (for the forseable future), unlike NATO and the EU.
At the present day, the empire is struggling to extricate itself from Ukraine without having a Kabul / Saigon moment. The Western armories are bare, having sent everything they can spare and very much they could not spare in a desperate attempt to turn the tide of the proxy conflict. The F-35 fighter jet is STILL NOT OPERATIONAL ACCORDING TO THE PROGRAM’S OWN DEFINITION. By contrast, at the 80-year commemoration parade, the Chinese unveiled no fewer than a dozen new weapon systems, many a generation or more ahead of their US counterparts.
They are failing everywhere and cannot admit it. A humiliating defeat in Ukraine is inevitable, now the only question is whether the Russians will end up with Odessa. American warships are powerless against Chinese hypersonic cruise missiles. Japan tried to ramp up the rhetoric on Taiwan only to get slapped down by the US. We are witnessing the death throes of a wounded animal with suicidally inflated ego. Unfortunately, this wounded animal also has nuclear weapons, so it’s a very dangerous time for all of us.
