I don't know who this guy is (he strikes me as a college prof at a military college somewhere; he mentions being a westerner in one his essays); but everything he writes is extremely astute. I keep checking back to his blog every few days in the hopes a new piece has arrived, and devour each lengthy article. Enjoy!

Many people around here don't like BigSerge because he's anti-Neocon. You'll see the hate mail pile up in this thread.

Big Serge is Russian, but lives in the USA.

I think he is just an amateur historian, but his analysis of the Ukraine War has been extremely astute.

And his analytical pieces on WW2 etc. are also excellent.

It sure seems to be what we have been seeing taking place. The Russian forces went in expecting little resistance. They had initial success, which more or less confirmed that this would be a quick war that would see Ukraine totally dispatched & seeking an end to the hostilities.

But them Ukraine mounted a formidable resistance which set the Russians on their heels unsure as how to proceed. But they quickly regrouped. They did however, incorporate a form of encirclement to box in the enemy and then sitting back to start applying the attrition tactical warfare. They no longer had the desire to take more landmass to control. They are no destroying their abilities to wage war, and just as they counted on, the forces aligned with Ukraine began to sour on the support aspect as the demands grew in size & scope to secure their needs to effectively engage in warfare. It's only a matter of time, which favors Russia, because at this point time is on their side.

I like his thought process. He makes sense about Ukraine.

“Delburk” should be “Delbruck” (with dots over the u—alternatively spelled as Delbrueck).
