one of the lucky few
Thoughtful commentary, without the hyperbole from either side.
I’m almost through it now as I type this. Very informational.
IMO they’re missing that Bakmut is being used by the Russians as a bonfire for men, equipment and western resources.
They touch on it, when they talk about classic seiges, and the way the Russians control the the MSRs and surrounding high ground. Also the attrition ratios tell a story.
Ukraine as a whole is, at least now, being used as a bonfire in the same way - and we’re playing right along, without a real plan, or a real clue
I saw a report today that both sides meaning NATO and Russia are enjoying testing weaponry and infantry grouping
I think there is some truth in that
Problem for Ukraine is they don’t have the personnel nor access to as much stuff
At least not practical stuff
It’s sorta like the Spanish civil war that way
