This has been promised for five weeks now. Not happened yet.

Somebody better get the Magnificent Vindman Brothers over to the Ukraine ASAP before the Ruskkis get the upper hand.

I think he means that Russia’s main objective now is to rub out the larger part of the Russian army

At the end of this war NO ONE will be smiling. We have all lost, thanks to Putin trying to preen his ego

But no fighter or bomber aircraft.

Lure the Ukes over to the home team’s territory.

Then annihilate them from the sky.

But, the Western media is now reporting it is about to happen. That's the point.

The Ukrainians will be like sheep to the slaughter.

It will be like hell on earth for them.

I hope Zelensky is moving to get civilians out of what will be a devastating kill area.

But the losses inflicted by Ukraine on Russia's army are so great that the Kremlin has resorted to recruiting retired military personnel to make up the numbers, according to the UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD). The intelligence suggests that Vladimir Putin (pictured) is turning to personnel who were discharged from military service as early as 2012 to replace his fallen soldiers

Ukes can use the Vindmans as hot air balloons for reconnaissance.

Funny so far Putin's invasion has been hell on earth for Russian conscripts.

so far Putin's invasion has been hell on earth for Russian conscripts, and Ruskie senior officers.

As more and more ATGMs and manpads continue to flow in, it will just get worse for the invaders.

“Strategic withdrawal.”

The Sioux often employed that tactic. It worked very well in Wyoming in December, 1866: Retreat, make your opponent pursue, and draw them into the trap (kill zone). Captain William Judd Fetterman is not available for comment.

“ I hope Zelensky is moving to get civilians out of what will be a devastating kill area.”

Reportedly, over 70% of the local population in that part of the Donbas has been evacuated.

There is widespread expectation that it is going to be hammered hard. Rockets and shells have been flying, and convoys have started moving toward the front. It looks like the Operation is underway. Maybe it will hit peak intensity this coming week.
