How did all this fascism get into my anticommunism?
Your words not mine ✌️
Imagine saying this when your entire media diet is US propaganda
Stay classy, .world
All the lies and the hate are costing the West everything. No one will say our downfall was undeserved
Untrained according to whom? Clearly they managed to turn back the Kursk offensive
Are you just going to slink away in defeat or do you dare to actually point out which of my arguments you consider flawed?
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?
Why does that qualify as winning? Taking some land is not winning, just look at WW2
Yes, the Russians have said from the beginning that their aim is to demilitarize Ukraine, which in practice means grinding down their military in a war of attrition. That is why I mentioned the manpower shortage first. Everyone honest admits that all of the Ukrainian units are running at a fraction of full strength. Since the Russian’s main aim isn’t to take land yet they are anyways, it is a sign that the final collapse of the Ukrainian military is underway. Another thing that everyone who is honest admits is that the top Ukrainian command has been continuously overextending and taking huge losses defending encircled positions.
Russia is running out of tanks etc. Personnel are old man they recruit is some shit hole, the jails are already empty. Economy is massively suffering and now they keep losing more and more of their refineries, which is their main source of income.
This is 1000% Western cope. The Russians have been able to replace their losses and even stand up new units over the course of the war. The Ukrainians are constantly having to merge two battered units into one (still well below full strength). Are you watching the war footage (from both sides) or just reading the Western press? The Russians are consistently fielding at least 10x the number of armored vehicles. Seen any artillery strikes from the Ukrainians lately? The shortage of artillery pieces and rounds is so acute, the rumor is that they have pulled all their artillery to the west bank of the Dnipro. The Ukrainians don’t even have glide bombs at all. The combination of these three factors means that the Ukrainians are powerless to take any fortified positions. All they can do is to target vehicles and troops in the open with FPV and bomber drones.
The industrial war is lopsided? So… why are they using e-scooters now at the front? After beach buggies after cars after trucks after IFVs? They loose everything without Ukraines allies switching to a war time economy.
I don’t even really understand the argument being made here but are you looking at the numbers? Russia has been outgrowing every country in the West for the entire duration of this war. The western backers are economically exhausted and on the brink of collapse. Russia has a debt to GDP ratio below 20%, one of the lowest in the world. By contrast, long bonds in all the western economies are approaching highs not seen in decades.
On the industrial side, do you remember that the Russians are producing three times more artillery shills than all of the West put together?
At the rate they advance they have Ukraine in 1000 years, so even if we disregard our knowledge that taking land is not the same as winning a war, how are these tiny gains relevant?
This argument is just silly in the extreme. Even pro-Ukrainian sources reject it. War is non-linear. Also, the point of the encirclement isn’t the land gains in themselves, it’s the attrition. To really bring the absurdity home, the basic argument isn’t even true anymore. Large swaths of Konstantinivka and Pokrovsk are already under Russian control or are grey zones. Their logistic links are already endangered from long range drones. We are about to watch another Bakmut or Adiivka unless the Ukrainians immediately change their foolish strategy and withdraw before they are completely encircled.
Where is the West desperate? How? Do you mean Trump? I hope not. That would be like saying Russia attacks because they want to denazify Ukraine, so I hope that is not the case.
LOL I was referring to these fucking jokes like Starmer, Merz and Macron running around having summits with themselves, making a bunch of screeching noise in the press while being fantastically unpopular at home and presiding over governments and economies on the brink of collapse.
denazify Ukraine
You know for me, when I see a country which had a far-right coup, hero worships notorious Nazi Stephan Banderra, and can’t seem to help themselves from slipping Nazi symbolism into many of their unit insignia… Sounds like a Nazi regime to me. Of course the West has a long history of looking the other way with regard to Nazi sympathizers in order to advance their geostrategic objectives
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?
Do you think anyone else notices the frothing hatred behind this comment?
Now that it’s obvious to everyone that the West is losing the war, it’s high time for USAGM to cook up some atrocity propaganda.
Remind me again which country protected and exonerated Unit 731?
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?
