No reverse gear. Donbass defeat, as another Afghanistan debacle looms
The Saker ^

Why the sudden total collapse of the Ukrainian forces in Lissichansk

Two years after the Serbian war, an American general asked his Serbian counter-part what it was like to have fought against the greatest military power in history.

The Serbian general replied, " I don't know, we've never fought Russia."

I think Russia very unexpectedly ran into a buzz saw in Ukraine.
Ukraine cannot win, but a Russian win is proving to be very costly. In money as well as manpower and matériel.

It is also proving to be very costly to NATO and even more so to the US taxpayer.

The 79th Airborne Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was almost completely destroyed - its losses exceeded 80 percent of its strength.

It is a sad shame.

How would things be if all the equipment we abandoned in Afghanistan had otherwise found its way to the Ukraine?

Russia was forced into it and had no options. The ukies were three or four days away from a major invasion of Donbass, Putin simply beat them to the punch.

"I beat him up because he tried to take back his wallet which had stolen from him."

So Russia was compelled to invade Ukraine because the latter was about to reassert control over its sovereign territory that had been seized by Russia in the first place? Do you really think that is a valid justification?

Considering how well middle easterners maintain equipment much of it is inoperable by now.

Yeah, the robber had no other choice than to shoot me, because I was just seconds away from grabbing back the wallet he had stolen from me!

Sickening logic!

Costly? That’s certainly the Neocon spin. After all, they can’t deny that the UFA has suffered defeat after defeat. So, the “costly” narrative is deployed to convince the gullible Western public that sending more high tech weapons (which are being destroyed, sold on the black market, or captured in huge numbers) will eventually stop the Russians. Go investigate how the Russians are using combined arms and explain how their SMO has been “costly” in the sense the Neocons claim. Russian losses in the Donbass appear to be minimal because of their overwhelming superiority in high precision, long range artillery and missiles and how they are being used. They pulverize UFA positions using 10-11 times as much ordinance as the UFA while standing off out of range of UFA artillery. Then, when their drones reveal that the UFA position is essentially destroyed, they send in tanks and infantry to mop up. In Lisichansk, the UFA lines just broke and ran. It wasn’t cowardice; it was the rational act of good men who finally realized that they are being used as cannon fodder.

I am appalled at the number of posters here who casually treat this horror as if it’s a sporting event. The WEF and our Neocons, and their narcissistic fantasies about remaking the world according to their evil and absurd utopian ideas, are responsible for this war and the shedding of rivers of Ukrainian blood and destroying Ukraine. The young men who haven’t been fed into a meatgrinder WWI style war have fled to the West to avoid the draft. They are almost all lost to Ukraine. What will be left will be a very poor rump state with a largely elderly population. At least the “Big Guy” got his 10%, and the useless, cowardly, sociopathic Neocon/ WEFers got to play their real world version of “Call of Duty”. Of course, they will declare victory because the Russians “lost men and material at a massive rate.” It won’t be true, but the irresponsible here will repeat it.

Fortunately, Boris the Buffoon is leaving office, and the Dutch farmers are fighting the NWO. The Dutch are in a real fight for freedom, unlike the Zelensky regime and the Ukraine war.

Where did you get that from?

Keep up the good work. Your posts and wisdom are a breath of fresh air in an otherwise sealed room filled with the farts of Biden worshipers.

Don’t sell the Biden Worshiping Brigade on Free Republic short. They did and are doing more than their share.

It really makes you wonder how the supposed bright minds who run governments and militaries can make so many bad decisions.
