As the world now knows, the grand Ukie offensive is a slaughter. Do NOT view the video if 50 year old plus Ukie soldier’s demise will upset you.

That said, the US tried to take down Southfront- a website with thousands of video ( most geo- located) detailing the Ukies slaughter. I have found it interesting very, very few Ukie videos of Russian defeats can now be found.

Most likely there are very few to be found ( I counted half a dozen the past few weeks), why? …..because you can’t argue with video. That said, the Ukies lost 31 armored vehicles and tanks last night on the southern front, in the space of just a few hours. The video showed a few Strykers , Bradley’s and MRAPS, the bulk western equipment….the Ukies are now totally dependent on the western welfare give away.

Who in the world would want to take advice from our military?

Supposedly Ukes are pulling their own 82 Airborne out of reserves and into the fight.

How are they doing?

Everyone knew it wouldn’t work.

A D-Day level push might have made it to the sea at great cost. E.g., a rush to the coast with all the summer offensive forces in one sector.

But then they would need enough reserves to hold any gains and defend against Russia pushes in the North.

No surprise, in July 2023 pro-russian Johnson said "Ukraine is Hollowing out" and on Aug 2023 pro-russian Johnson said "Ukraine is Losing Everything".

Check out the World War 1 Battle of the Somme footage on You Tube.

Sending young men to die, and be maimed, in a hopeless cause, is a military tradition.

To decimate means to cut by 10%.

Many use the word to mean “utter devastation,” which is not what it means.

“Sending young men to die, and be maimed, in a hopeless cause, is a military tradition.”

What is really ghastly, is sending another country’s young men out in a hopeless cause.

I always wanted to tour Poland and Ukraine to visit the WWII battlefields. No way now. I bet many hate our guts.

“We are witnessing military malpractice by the West on a grand scale. Did the NATO planners really believe the propaganda nonsense that portrayed the Russian military as a decrepit, doddering army of incompetents”

Makes you wonder if Mom and canuck are secret Russian agents who are secretly wish to seduce Ukranians into slaughter.

No one is sending another country’s young men. I mean really the mental gymnastics is dizzying.

Ukrainians fighting for Ukraine in Ukraine against an invader, is not another country’s young men being sent anywhere.
