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
Just start producing and moving oil and natural gas in the US to drive the global price down, and Putin’s golden goose is deep fried and eaten. He’ll either have to come hat in hand to Xi Jinpig, who’ll want some or all of Siberia in payment, or he’ll have to lose and get Romanov’d.
