Oh, Yes, I forgot. Sorry!
“What about air superiority the Ukrainians need to win against Russia? Have they gained air superiority yet? “
Ransomnote, that joint must be mighty strong.
Ukrainians as the defenders against Putin’s Nazi army, don’t need air superiority. They just deny the Russians that.
There are some dead accounts that Russian Weibo have gained access to.
Ukes are kicking Putin’s butt.
On paper they should have lasted 1 week at max.
I looked up my posts from December 2021 and I gave them days.
They’ve lasted nearly 2 months and actually pushed Putin’s army from the Kyiv suburbs; Mariupol is still standing.
That is kicking butt for an underdog.
You are obviously a foreigner to think that way.
The quotes and positions you attribute to me are nothing but invented crap from you. However the map animation i posted is for real. Too bad for you angry, Putin Stooge.
One reason the Russians were pushed back from Kiev after their offensive was blunted was that the troops concentrated on systematically looting every single apartment in every flat block and every single farm house in the forward areas. They neglected their military duties such as the DEFENSIVE PRIORITY OF WORK. Some units were practicing rape in a systematic way as well. Some of the troops in one of our friend’s area reported that some units contained European Russians while other had oriental-appearing soldiers from Russia’s far east.
And to those who now say they did not intend to really take Kiev I would like to point out that not even John Bell Hood deep in the Laudanum would make such an erroneous analysis. Many Russian units penetrated further than the deepest gains made by the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge. It was not a feint. It was a very costly debacle. The Russian vehicles and equipment that was abandoned in decent condition was considerable in addition to the vast amounts that were destroyed.
You know that water would be lots easier to transport for your big guy if you pulled that drum in your wagon rather than carrying it on your back. I’m confused, are you identifying as a Biden, Soros or Obama stooge today? It’s a shame your media masters don’t provide you with a little less transparent BS. But I guess you’re playing it the way your big guy does. Just look stupid enough to be able to blame your positions mental instability rather than moral instability.
Cronos, your post is too irrational to interest me. You have to try harder to reach the level of coherence worth my time to respond to.
You believe the lying, treasonous MSM so thoroughly I don’t see trying to break through your indoctrination. You can just wait to see the results, and it’s not Ukrainian innocence or victory. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Your posts are getting more paranoid and filled with delusions that only you understand. You should see a psychiatrist about that.
Putin’s army hasn’t “held back” in Kyiv. They weren’t able to deploy their gunships as they don’t have air superiority.
They weren’t able to conquere with tanks as they were defeated.
Ukraine will be allied with NATO.
And Putin’s aims varied , first it was NATO, then a de militarised Ukraine, then killing nazis.
Lately the Russian press has said all Ukrainians are nazis, so they need to kill em all
“Ukrainianism is an artificial anti-Russian construct that has no civilisational substance of its own, a subordinate element of an extraneous and alien civilisation,” wrote a RIA Novosti columnist earlier this week. The “re-education” of Ukraine could take a generation, he wrote, adding that “besides the highest ranks, a significant number of common people are also guilty of being passive Nazis and Nazi accomplices”.
Even the name Ukraine must be erased, the article argued.
RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan claimed on TV that Ukrainian people ‘have turned out to be engulfed in the madness of nazism’.
“To my horror, to my regret, a considerable portion of the Ukrainian people have turned out to be engulfed in the madness of nazism,” said Margarita Simonyan, the head of the RT news network, during a nationally broadcast talkshow on the NTV channel. “That it is on such a massive scale!”
Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian prime minister, earlier this week declared that Ukraine would face the same fate as Nazi Germany, an opinion that closely resembled the one written in the column published by RIA Novosti just days earlier.
“It should not be surprising that Ukraine, which has been transformed mentally into the Third Reich … will suffer the same fate,” Medvedev wrote in a message shared on Telegram. “That’s what her fate is, that Ukraine!”
If northern Ukraine was not Putin’s objective then he certainly wasted a lot of Russian lives, weapons and prestige for nothing.
Putin lost men, tanks, planes, and all credibility. He is a laughing stock and a butcher.
At the same time he got nothing in return. The troops which “withdrew” (better: ran away) have to go back to Russia and then be re-grouped and transported to the front in the East and South. The Ukrainians can still use the “shortcut” though their own country.
If this was a diversion, it must have been the most lousy one that ever somebody came up with.
Taking Kyiv and decapitating the Ukrainian government was one of putin’s stated goals.
Putin failed
Expanding on the above.
Putin failed to take Kyiv so he is trying to say “I never wanted it at all”.
As the war started Russia put most of its might behind the push to Kyiv. Remember the convoy? The paratroopers? The intense streetfighting? Russia committed more forces to Kyiv than to the South. Russia’s goal was 100% to take Kyiv.
Tactically Russia has been a complete failure from any objective standpoint. They failed to take air superiority, they’ve taken massive losses, they’ve used their tanks like idiots, they’ve fallen apart logistically, and they are losing ground to armed civilians.
I’m supposed to believe that a military incapable of using basic military tactics on the ground while also believing Russia is employ some grand military stratigem that tricked the entire world? Ya right
A feint in which Putin lost his elite paratroopers, billions of dollars of equipment, hundreds if not thousands of soldiers and military prestige.
And after over 6 weeks of watching the slow roll to stall to digging in to retreat, putinists still try to convince themselves it was all part of the plan...
That’s not to say the war is over. The units that came down from Belarus were clearly neither led nor supplied nor properly trained for their mission. The units in the south and east are probably better off logistically, at least for now. But they still face the Ukrainians on their home turf.
The irrational is your statement that “What about air superiority the Ukrainians need to win against Russia? Have they gained air superiority yet? “
Ukrainians are the defenders, not the invaders.
But by all means let's keep our eyes and efforts focused on the eastern Ukraine border.
You must not be a ‘walk and chew gum at the same time’ kind of person.
They are two completely separate issues.
