Operational analysis of Russia's offensive towards Pokrovsk. The entire Southern Donbas Front is at risk of falling into enemy hands. Urgent Ukrainian reinforcements are needed.

bimboeruption #172: "Thanks, kiryandil, for posting an insightful, detailed and factual article. (Unlike the propaganda posted by zeepers.)
There is a part 2, which I've posted."

Before we get started on your propaganda nonsense here, I think you can now forever dispense with whining about others' alleged "walls of text".

How’d that work out for the Wicked Witch?

[popdonnelly]

It’s not spam, it’s posting articles. And the pro-Russia crowd only deals in stupid insults.

[popdonnelly]

Given the comments from the Putin fans, I know who’s throwing poo.

[popdonnelly]

Jim shouldn’t favor the Putin fan boys.

[blitz128]

Agreed. Hypocrisy and projection along with personal insults are the norm from the usuals

kiryandil: "I did Nazi see this coming from zElenskyy's merry band of Azov Nazis..."

It took some doing, but I found your 2021 article by Lev Golinkin in Forward.
Turns out that Golinkin is almost my neighbor, lives just a few miles across the river in NJ.

Golinkin is not a Russian propagandist and did not intend for his article to be used as pro-Russian propaganda.
Golinkin is highly concerned about celebrations of Nazis or Nazi collaborators everywhere in the world, including in the US.
Golinkin has no sympathy for Ukrainians recognizing their own freedom-fighters against Soviet Russia when those same heroes collaborated with Nazi exterminations of Jews.

Golinkin also has no sympathy for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Golinkin's image below compares, left, 1941 Ukrainian women parading & saluting their Nazi conquerors with, right, 2014 Lviv, Ukraine young people parading to commemorate the Waffen SS 1st Galician Division of Ukrainians.
The 1st Galician was involved in atrocities against Jews, a fact usually ignored by those who celebrate the division as Ukrainian freedom fighters.

The US also sees neo-Nazi style parades, for example this 2023 photo of a "Blood Tribe" march in Madison, Wisconsin, however, these are of a very different nature from those children parading in Ukraine:

Neoconned schlubs like you don't order me around on Free Republic, "Wall O' Text" Boy.

BTW - it's an image, not text.

When The Ukraine is crushed, we will amuse ourselves reposting all your wall o' text gas on the Ucraycray conflict.

If you were an American the comment you just addressed to JoeBroK would be considered as treasonous against America and its allies.
But you don’t risk anything in your Russian propaganda farms. You do your work.

You said: “When The Ukraine is crushed, we will amuse ourselves...”

Thus, you would be celebrating a hypothetical victory of the Russia-IRAN-North Korea Alliance. They represent NeoSovietism, Radical Islam and Communism. Right?
I don’t understand how anyone can support such “values”?
But you support that apparently...

[kiryandil]

Shut it, froggie.

If you were an American, you would know what our definition of treason is:

The federal crime is defined in the Constitution (and is the only crime defined by it) as either levying war against the United States or adhering to its enemies

I'm not levying war against my country, nor am I adhering to her enemies.

The Ukraine will be crushed. Deal with it.

Take it up with him.

The same way it’s gonna work out for Zelensky.

I knew you’d be jealous.

Russia can’t win militarily. And you know it.
Unless they use nuclear weapons. But that would destroy them as well. Thus, this war will remain conventional and uwinable for the Kremlin.

Ukraine is now building its own long-distance ballistic missiles. Moscow’s energy sector is starting being hit, while at the same time the south of Russia is being invaded by Ukrainian forces.

The inflation in Russia is now at about 10%, steadily going up, expected to be over 12% soon. Russian citizens are suffering from it, but not the caviar-eating warmongering politician-crowd in the Kremlin... Right?

Russia’s future is therefore very dark. It can’t cope with the war it started. No wonder its asking for massive military help from Islamic Iran, and Communist North Korea - America’s absolute worst enemies.

Ukraine has become a never ending war for Russia like Vietnam was for America.

The only way Russia can hope winning is if the Ukrainian people decides so, if they decide to not defend their land anymore.

If that happens Russia would keep the Donbas areas and Crimea. In such a scenario the rest of Ukraine would evidently become a NATO country and it would become a member of the European Union.

Thus, a “win” for Russia would be, at best, a pyrrhic victory.

USA-FRANCE #230: "If you were an American the comment you just addressed to JoeBroK would be considered as treasonous against America and its allies."

kiryandil: "If you were an American, you would know what our definition of treason is:"

Article 3, Section 3: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

kiryandil: "I'm not levying war against my country, nor am I adhering to her enemies."

So, who is our enemy?
On February 20, 2023, NATO declared:

1. "As we solemnly mark one year of Russia’s brutal war of aggression against Ukraine, the gravest threat to Euro-Atlantic security in decades, we as Allies reaffirm our solidarity with the government and people of Ukraine in the heroic defence of their nation, their land, and our shared values.
   We pay tribute to the lives lost, and we deplore the tragic human suffering and destruction, including of Ukraine’s residential areas and civilian and energy infrastructure, caused by Russia’s illegal war.

2. We are further stepping up political and practical support to Ukraine as it defends itself against Russia’s invasion, and will maintain our support for as long as necessary to help Ukraine prevail.

3. Russia bears full responsibility for this war, a blatant violation of international law and the UN Charter.
   Russia’s actions disregard OSCE principles and commitments and gravely undermine international security and stability and the rules-based international order.
   While we have called on Russia to engage constructively in credible negotiations with Ukraine, Russia has not shown any genuine openness to a just and lasting peace.
   We remain determined to maintain coordinated international pressure on Russia.
   We also condemn all those, including Belarus, who are actively facilitating Russia’s war.
   There can be no impunity for Russian war crimes and other atrocities.
   All those responsible must be held accountable for abuses and violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, particularly against Ukraine’s civilian population and including the deportation of children and conflict-related sexual violence.
   Russia must immediately stop this war and withdraw all of its military forces from Ukraine in line with the UN General Assembly Resolution adopted on 23 February 2023 and other relevant Resolutions of the UN General Assembly.

4. Russia’s war also threatens global security.
   Russia’s energy blackmail, its impact on global food supplies, its malign hybrid activities, its worldwide disinformation campaign, and its irresponsible nuclear rhetoric demonstrate clearly Russia’s disregard for international norms and the welfare of billions of people around the world..."

On July 16, 2024 NATO officially declared:

"NATO condemns in the strongest possible terms Russia's brutal and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine - which is an independent, peaceful and democratic country, and a close NATO partner.
NATO and Allies continue to provide Ukraine with unprecedented levels of support, helping to uphold its fundamental right to self-defence."

To me those words sound like Russia is NATO's enemy.
And which country is the leader of NATO?

USA-FRANCE #230: "You said: “When The Ukraine is crushed, we will amuse ourselves...”

kiryandil #228: "The Ukraine will be crushed.
Deal with it."

Ukraine was already crushed, on February 27, 2014, when Vlad the Invader began seizing first Crimea, then parts of the Donbas.
Ukraine was crushed again on February 24, 2022 when Vlad the Invader began his full scale "Special Military Operation" expected by all to take a few days or weeks at the most, to crush Ukraine and destroy its independence.

By March, 2022, Vlad's invasion reached its peak at around 27% (63,000 square miles) of Ukraine's 2013 borders, but since then, progress has been... rather slow, at best:

1. By November 2022 Vlad's success had been reduced from 27% to 18% (42,000 square miles) of Ukrainian territory.

2. In all of 2023 Vlad added around 200 square miles to Russia's conquests.

3. In 2024, Vlad's successes have been put at around 400 square miles in Donetsk, a number more than offset by Ukraine's invasion of Kursk.

4. All of this at a cost to Russia estimated at 600,000 casualties, nearly 50,000 armored vehicles & weapons, 25,000 support vehicles, 700 aircraft, 15,000 UAVs and 29 navy ships, boats & subs, plus uncounted damage to Russia's own infrastructure.

5. Ukraine's military losses are considerably less, however, as a proportion of their original assets, potentially as high or higher.

So, Ukraine has been crushed, over and over, but still they fight on.
Vlad's Russia, by contrast, has victoriously lost more of its own blood, equipment and economy than at any time since 1945, with the massive result of gaining no net ground since March of 2022.
And still Russians fight on and on, until... until... one day they'll stop and that will be the end of Vlad the Invader in Ukraine, if not also in Russia.

This below explains why there is a war. And why it’s impossible to negotiate with gutless liars attacking tiny countries :

Days leading up to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials repeatedly dismissed the idea that Russia would launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. They described the concerns of Western countries as “hysteria” and “anti-Russian propaganda.”

For instance, in early February 2022, Putin criticized the West for what he called “hysteria” and “exaggeration” over the Russian military buildup near Ukraine’s borders. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also said at the time that Russia had no plans to attack Ukraine, calling the warnings of an imminent invasion a “propaganda campaign” by the West.

Despite these public reassurances, Russia launched a large-scale military invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The invasion marked a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two countries that had begun in 2014 with Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the war in eastern Ukraine.

The initial denials by Russian officials before the invasion are often cited as examples of disinformation or attempts to mislead international observers about Russia’s true intentions. This has had a significant impact on global politics and international relations, leading to widespread condemnation of Russia’s actions, severe economic sanctions, and increased military support for Ukraine by many Western countries.
