Happy Hour started early.
“The first article on Free Republic about the Kharkov incursion was less than 48 hours ago.”
I know. Never expected the Ukrainians to get as far and as fast as they have. It is too soon to expect the Russians to lose but it’s also too soon to assume they can win.

⚔️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine’s Kharkov Offensive (2.0)
As predicted, the offensive has ground to a halt, Russian forces are fighting Ukrainian forces to a standstill, Ukraine is attempting to pump troops in for a few more meager gains.
Russia will continue moving in its own troops to first fully stop Ukraine, then either encircle them or drive them back.
The final result can only be a return to where Ukraine started, just like around Kherson or around Kharkov during the previous offensive months ago, and after paying a huge cost.
How’d this happen? You have thin lines of men and machines along a very long line of contact. There is the opportunity to break through at a single location and create havoc, but only temporarily and at great cost, done purely for propaganda and psychological purposes.
Reports of 100s if not 1000s of dead Ukrainians are filtering in just as they did (and were later confirmed) regarding the Kherson offensive.
