I know that Russia is prioritizing killing over holding territory at present. But it doesn’t take a Nostradamus to know that.
Lol. I can see somebody is still salty because I pointed out that he was taking his arguments directly from Russian operatives now.
And yet, they keep trying to advance on territory. You "know" that because they aren't gaining that territory. It is a nice circular piece of logic to avoid acknowledging that they lost territory, which wasn't their goal.
Ukraine update: Russia's shrinking war effort, failing drone attacks, and the defense of Soledar Great write up today - which included links to other important recent reviews of the broader war they have done recently: In case you missed it the last few weeks: A high-level overview of the current active front. Written nearly a month ago, but nothing has changed since A look at Ukraine’s future offensive options. This piece is two weeks old, and for sure nothing has changed. Ukraine won’t launch any winter offensive until the ground is good and frozen. General Mud doesn’t care if it’s Russia or Ukraine on the march. Current chatter is for something to happen in mid-to-late January. Why Bakhmut holds. Written yesterday. Added here because, while lots of people are dying across the entire front line, this is where Ukraine is bleeding Russia dry. The update today shows something particularly interesting - look at that first few pictures of the rapidly shrinking russian war effort. In addition, it looks like Ukraine will get even more weapons soon. Ukraine May Finally Get Greece’s Russian S-300 Missiles Something else I had seen that was neat - Pakistan supporting Ukraine?

Apparently, Putin delayed the original attack last winter three times to be absolutely certain that the Russian army was ready. The organization that was pushing Putin to pull the trigger was not the Russian army or the Wagner forces, but the FSB. They only provided the army with three days of food, thinking that's all it would take. Putin postponed attack on Ukraine three times, FSB insisted on it
A Russian operative like a Russian who wasn’t a spy ? I have a hunch that the balding guy is a crucial figure here.
They are gaining territory. They were in the suburbs of Bakhmut. Now they’re basically downtown. When you kill everyone in front of you, you have to advance to find more people to kill. D’uh!
Hmm, on one side, we have her being convicted to being a spy because she admitted to it in the face of evidence that she was. On the other side, we have you don't want her to be. It's a tough call weighing these two arguments. I have a hunch that given that you thought he was a Senator rather than a Republican operative means that your grasp on the factual information here is pretty weak.
That word "basically" sure is doing a lot of work. Also, it turns out that people can move. I know this must be of new information to you, but you don't have to advance to kill people. I would think I wouldn't need to explain this to the primary booster of the glorious retreat strategy.
She maintains her innocence and is ironically a member of the Russian parliament. And if God has a sense of humor she’ll head up Americagate proceedings. Also, call me a tin foil hat wearer, but I have a suspicion that it is important that a certain former senator is balding and that that might provide a clue as to whether there is a distinction made between city and region in the article I posted.
If it takes you more than a few weeks and 300,000 conscripts to subdue a banana republic ... you may not be a superpower ...
There’s nothing surprising about the claim that Russia’s military and intelligence services feed information to its national broadcasters since the US’ analogues do the same as evidenced by their outlets’ daily reports citing unnamed administration officials. This in and of itself doesn’t mean that the information they were given is false, but just that coordination between state structures and the media veritably exists all across the world without exception. The New York Times’ Latest Report About “Russian Propaganda” Is Really A Nothingburger
It's almost as if the rest of the world wants Russia to lose this war more than they want to show their middle finger to the U.S. Who knew? O.k., everybody other than our comrade knew that, but who else knew? I bet eskimos without internet didn't know that.
