well they didn’t stop them, depending on the definition, and we’ll see if they do stop them now.
I’d say slow down is a definite, stop we’ll see.

But common sense says the defender loses less than the offense.

Not necessarily. Strong well placed Artillery can soften the hardest of entrenched opposition

Numerous explosions heard in Dnipro over the course of the last half hour. Some residents are describing the attack as one of the largest on the city since the start of the war.

We will not know the truth for ten years, same with Trump and what happened with him. The Fog of war, hate, and greed will taint any facts. Believe what you see—doubt all else. All wars end—so will this one. Europe doesn’t want Nuke WW III—they had enough with WW I & II. Before that with Napoleon. Without German help—no land war is possible in Europe. But, Nuke war? Maybe?

Not when your artillery doesn’t go as far as the Enemies.

More explosions in #Dnipro. Is this a change of tactic where one City is hit hard? So far, Dnipro has been hit by Shahed attack drones, S-300 ballistic missiles and most recently Kh-22’s which were originally intended to be Aircraft Carrier “Killers.”

I don’t think Magic 8 Ball would tell us that Wagner PMC pretty much took 100,000 casualties from a cannon fodder force of 90,000 Uke ( based on analysis of Uke unit designators that simply disappeared from the battlefield) ….a Uke force that clearly lacked artillery missile or air support compared to Russia.

Simplicious is pretty respected.
He tallies lost Uke units here.

Even their tough guy AZOV unit on the flank deblocking ops ( which they called a counteroffensive) took a big hit. In One day they lost 1600 men by RU MoD reports. Even if we cut that number in half….!

Do some of these analysts seriously think Wagner had/ has hundreds of thousands of troops?

Actually it doesn’t prove anything. Perhaps the Russkie tanks are all out at the front? Anyway, it does seem true that both sides have been hit hard.

Russia failed in its aims to take all of Ukraine quickly. But it does seem Ukraine may win the battles but lose the war. Time will tell.

What the point in the parade where a single T-34 rolled by proved is easy to discern. It was an artistic touch. It was a powerful and deliberate point to get people to remember the fight against the original nazis.

It would be like if we were in a serious existential fight, and we were having a parade to remember WWII, and at some point in the parade a single Sherman tank rolled by.

But the looneys here are convinced that is because it’s all they had. Also, what kind of lunatic would take the time and effort to take important resources up to Moscow for a Parade?

Silliness.

“Muskovy has been an existential threat to every neighboring country for centuries. They learned how from the Mongols.”

You see, you are employing history and reason, both of which are abstract concepts to the FR Muscovites.

I believe that. But, if you don't hate Russia, then what is the motive to defending all the lies of the Biden regime and Deep State? $$$$$.

You somehow are making money off this war with through employment by company or organization benefiting from or defending it. Or, perhaps, because defense industry stock.

Russia went into Ukraine for TWO reason 1) for VALID national security reasons. 2) to keep neo-Nazis and Ukrainian nationalist from persecuting and murder ethnic Russians, some of which were Russian citizens but, at the very least, are relatives of Russian citizens.

WE fomented an illegal coup in 2014. WE installed a government hostile to Russia. WE encouraged that government to cutoff access to the Sevastopol naval base, which Russia has operated since 1783. WE funded, trained and armed the Ukrainian military with the sole purpose of fighting this proxy war, which WE did everything we could to make happen. The objective was destroying Russia and carving it up so our elite could make money off the breakup. WE were running biolabs with deadly pathogens in them.

If Russia or China we doing anything like that Mexico, WE WOULD AND SHOULD invade and put an end to it.

All you have is mindless, lame flames. Any time you're confronted all this, you can't respond.

“But, if you don’t hate Russia, then what is the motive to defending all the lies of the Biden regime and Deep State? $$$$$.”

You do what the progs always do: Assume facts not in evidence, rush to judgment, and jump to conclusions. Your comment above shows that.

I want Ukraine to prevail in its existential struggle against a larger and stronger neighbor who invaded without any legitimate reason, REGARDLESS of who our president is, or who Ukraine’s president is; in other words, in spite of them. But, you are unable to grasp that simple fact; it is beyond your ken.

“You somehow are making money off this war with through employment by company or organization benefiting from or defending it. Or, perhaps, because defense industry stock.”

You just proved my point again: You assume facts not in evidence, rush to judgment, and jump to conclusions.

You are an epic fail, Ivan.

What’s this “WE,” kemosabe? All you do is repeat Russian talking points. Have you no original and independent thought at all?

I agree 100%. Sadly, Putin appears to be the only adult in this sad, needless tragedy. We would all be irradiated by now if the appraisals of him by Neocon experts were accurate. He is showing restraint and has behaved methodically. The west is looking more and more bankrupt in more and more ways. Take President Biden, for example. An obvious escapee from a nursing home or mental asylum....

Are you going to respond to my post #16? No, of course you won’t. You are a habitual fabricator, kid; and just make stuff up, because you can’t face facts as they are.
