IMO this offensive has definitely shown Russia is not as strong as they have been made out to be. In the last year or so various podcasters like Military Summary have been claiming their slow advance has been a deliberate attritional strategy to trade time for Ukr losses. Now it’s making me think it’s lack of capability.
On the other hand I wouldn’t call capturing a platoon “surrendering in mass”.
Peace now.
It’s essential that the Ukrainian Armed Forces arrange a referendum as soon as possible for the Kursk and Belgorod People’s Republics and assist the local residents with learning their traditional tongue, the Ukrainian language. They’ve been occupied by Russia for so long many of the local have forgotten their roots.
It’s cost Western nations (especially us) a fortune, but criminy, the extent it has exposed Russia’s military as a paper tiger is GLORIOUS.
Supporting the North Vietnamese during the Cold War cost the Russans money - but helped them batter the United States strategically (at essentially no cost to them in human lives). This is just the same in reverse.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))

LOL!! 😅😅
Show me where I did that, propaganda boi??
RUSSIA IS LEEEEWWZING!
What a ball of crap.
This war is about to escalate, just what Obama wants so that Trump cannot end it.
Anyone who thinks Russia will lose this war is a strategic idiot. Just stock up on potasium iodide tablets.
