I have a link for Mucus Maximus to follow so he can personally drive the Russians out of Avdiivka.
Avdiivkadabra!

I think this list from the article disqualifies all zeepers for more than one reason.

Don’t join the Ukraine Foreign Legion if…

You have chronic medical issues, including asthma, high blood pressure, dangerous allergies, etc;
Are seeking some form of glory;
Can’t handle a rifle, shovel, or body armor;
Have no history of warfighting;
Are only going cause its the cool thing to do;
Can’t take orders;
Are lazy;
Are addicted to anything;
Can’t go without sleep, coffee, or your warm bed;
If you consider whining productive;
You can’t run a mile in less than nine minutes;
Aren’t educated about the geography, human terrain, weather, enemy, and ally situation

True, true.
The zeeper in its natural habitat would prefer others fight for the interests of malicious actors rather than their own nation.

The usuals here are just reflexive trolls, they see “Ukraine “ on the timeline and they swoop in to get their quota set of muskovite taking points, besides being boring, juvenile, and incessantly repetitive they are lazy

There are good posts that have decided not to post daily but run continious threads.

The trolls can’t be bothered to search for them, therefore they rarely appear on them and the discussion is much less vitriolic and hyperbolic

One of my favorites is the ever present “well they haven’t taken moscow yet”

So laughable but tragic at the same time

” an attrition trap for the Russians.”

This is pathetic. I would say the weaker side is the one stuck in the trap. That’s the whole point of this. The Russians can afford the losses, Ukraine can’t.

Russia simply takes it time killing Ukraines in the kill box. Ukraine defends every inch forward. This has allowed Russia to kill 7 Ukrainians for every dead Russian. Forbes and USG have never once told the truth that Russian operational policy is kill Ukraines and not simply advance into Ukraine. Make the Ukrainians sit in bunkers and buildings, identify them and bomb them. The only times Russia has advanced is to create buffer zones or to further attrit Ukrainian strength. Russia will advance when they have destroyed the operational reserves and rendered air superiority. In the meantime, Russia trains on average 35,000 new soldiers a month, in six month cycles of January and July. When the next batch arrives, Russia will have gone from 380K to 1.4m in 30 months. Ukraine will have gone from 1.2m to 450K.

Russian plans change. Ukrainian plans have not. Russia has adjusted to removing Ukraine’s army from the battlefield in order to save lives.

“reflexive trolls”

That’s an apt term to use for these people.

I’m about to put up a post about Scott Ritter that’s actually favorable to Ritter and I was wondering if the Putin Gallery was going to show up and crap on the post without even looking at it.

I guess we’ll see.
