Ukraine ping

Forbes’s David Axe raises the possibility that Ukraine’s gradual retreat in the East in late spring and early summer may have been part of a deliberate Fabian strategy to trade space for time. By luring the Russians into untenable positions, given their small numbers and educated guesses about the equipment and ammo they had left, the Ukrainians set the stage for the advances of September. How much of the stories about overwhelmed Ukrainians and their massive losses in the course of those retreats were part of an elaborate deception aimed at encouraging further Russian advances might only be known after the conflict is over. This would make it similar to the classic Mongol tactic of the feigned retreat, with large forces lying in wait for the pursuing enemy to tire themselves out.

Hard to know what is happening when you only receive one side of the story.

This war porn is as old as the hills and almost as dusty.

This article is steaming pile of horse manure as is anyone that believe it.

Russia has used 10% of it military in this war. The militias of the DPR and LPR along with mercenary groups have done most of the fighting.

But, we've heard Putin was dead or dying of stomach, thyroid and blood cancer during this war. We've also been told Russia was running out of ammunition or weapons every couple of weeks during it.

Gee, the Biden regime and Deep State lie. Who'd have thunk it?

I heard today that after Russia shifted forces south to Kherson, that Ukraine had an 8 to 1 advantage over Russia’s forces in the east.
