—”How is the Great Kherson Counter-Offensive going?”
Will never happen.
Ukraine knows well that defense has the advantage.
“Having thus defined the true meaning of the defensive, having defined its boundaries, we return again to the assertion that the defensive is the stronger form of making war.”
Clausewitz
“The enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy camps, we harass; the enemy tires, we attack; the enemy retreats, we pursue.”
Mao
The enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy camps, we harass; the enemy tires, we attack; the enemy retreats, we pursue.”
Mao

Exactly what Vlad is doing, the Ukies have had not one “ offensive “ or territorial gain yet. Vlad’s cauldrons are already being written into NATO’s textbooks.
And for this reason, no army in history has ever managed to attack and take ground from a defender. Therefore all of military and political history is a massive lie.
And Mao never managed to attack anyone either, the “we attack” part of the quote is an obvious commie lie. The successors of Chiang still control China, because the defensive is so overpowering.
Or, uh, you might want to sort out your arguments here.
