How did that work out for the prior Nazis, taking all that terrain so rapidly?

The Russian military lacks the manpower necessary to hold of a further Ukrainian advance into the Luhansk region, a correspondent embedded with the Russian military in the occupied city of Svatove said on Tuesday evening.
“The Russian troops do not have enough manpower to stop the enemy attacks,” Alexander Kots, for Russian pro-government tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda said in a video posted to Telegram. “The recent Russian losses are directly connected to that. It’s a very difficult period of time on the front line at the moment.”
He said that “we expect a serious fighting here very soon,” and that “it remains to be seen if it could stop the enemy advances.”
Kots confirmed that Russian forces were trying to fortify their defense at the line connecting the occupied cities of Kreminna and Svatova. Yuriy Podolyaka, a pro-Russian military blogger said on Monday that Russian troops had withdrawn to the Zherebets River, which runs just west of Kreminna and Svatova.

Territory taken can be re-taken, Ukrainian cannon fodder cannot be resurrected....and the US and NATO are running out military equipment to send to replace that which is being steadily destroyed.
It’s a war of attrition.
GEN Petraeus has been doing some great interviews (loaded onto YouTube) about the current state of the war. He says there’s no gaining back lost territory for the Russians. The Ukes have a superior army, with superior weaponry, all the motivation in the world, and a whole nation behind them. The orcs are going to lose this conflict.
Maneuver Warfare: Great dangers rise up when you least expect them.

John Boyd was one of the most brilliant and celebrated modern military theorists, and his concepts were extremely influential among many in the post-Vietnam officer cadre of the United States Marine Corps.
In particular, the highly regarded USMC General Paul K. Van Riper became a zealous disciple of Boyd’s conceptions of war. I have previously written of Van Riper’s legendary exploits, and most recently his observations of the ongoing war in Ukraine.
[Please read it all at the link. This is by far the best analysis of what’s currently going on in Ukraine, IMHO.]

How did that work out for the prior Nazis, taking all that terrain so rapidly?
“US and NATO are running out military equipment to send”
Have we given them F-35s? Abrams tanks? Apache helicopters? Tomahawk missiles?
We have defeated Russia so far with our 30 year old cast-offs. Any Russian escalation can easily be matched by giving Ukraine some of the good stuff.
All of that is true.
What’s also true is Russia has the perfect domestic storm of (historically) high abortion rates and low birth rates PLUS a massive exodus of the intelligentsia before February PLUS another exodus of the rich after war broke out PLUS exempted male school-leavers and students getting out PLUS approaching 60,000 dead PLUS maybe over 100,000 injured.
And, the ‘Stans that usually front up the cannon fodder are putting the brakes on.
Basically, Putin’s reliant on a dwindling supply of Gomer Pyles, bumpkins and geriatrics to fight a modern war.
Even Simonyan reckons it’ll take at leas two months before these conscripts are trained and equipped well enough to hit Ukraine... in winter.
Is Grandad going to need a thick jumper? An enormous stockpile of winter soldiering clothing just went AWOL. Eight months ago, Russians were getting frostbite and trench foot and that was before the conflict had even properly taken off.
Territory taken can be retaken, Ukrainian cannon fodder cannot be resurrected, and before 2023 is out Russia will be sending St Petersburg’s 12 year olds into battle to spare the blushes of the floundering elite.
Still, Russia will live on - as a “dark ages” footnote in the histories of new Islamic, Indian and Chinese affiliated territories.
The 1942 situation in WWII, when the US was just entering the war, was a far different scenario than Russia, who is going it alone, faces in Ukraine.
The Russians are headed for a resounding defeat.
CNN and General Betraeus these are superb sources.
“Since the Russia’s special operation in Ukraine, neo-Nazis online have been posting photos of dead Russian soldiers and using dehumanizing terms to describe them such as pigs, hot dogs, barbecue, and “orcs”.”
“Ukrainian neo-Nazis dehumanize and mock fallen Russian soldiers”
https://www.weeklyblitz.net/opinion/ukrainian-neo-nazis-dehumanize-and-mock-fallen-russian-soldiers/
The number of FR folks utilizing such language is steadily increasing as they are apparently growing more brazen in removing their masks and coming out their neo-Nazi closets...
Lots of Ukrainian pilots sitting around are trained on the F-35.
Great analysis...
Petraeus is an expert on losing, but I wouldn’t trust his judgement.
I don’t care about CNN... Petraeus is privy to far more information and can draw from vastly deeper experience and knowledge than virtually anyone else. He sees the situation getting more dire for Putin and his flailing military. It’s not going to end well for them.
And 16 HIMARS, with 4 more on the way.
“Lots of Ukrainian pilots sitting around are trained on the F-35.”
This isn’t the two week war Russia was hoping for.
If Biden wasn’t a wimp and had permitted sending jets to the Ukrainians back in March, six months would be more than enough time for the Ukrainians to now be flying them.
Here’s one for you, Cranked.
If want you to grunt in my direction, I’ll piss into your cage. Capisce?
Gosh, one would think Russia has no Nazis, which is far from the truth. Did you see what we did to dead Japanese in WW2? War is hell.
General can’t keep dick in pants was also talking about winning a limited nuclear war.
Yet the spewage of the pedo Scott Ritter is somehow credible? Interesting.
