This feat is even more impressive in that Russia is out of ammunition and is using tanks from the 1940s.

The feat is pathetic considering that Russia has been trying to capture Bakhmut for 8 months, and in that time advanced barely 20 miles.

During the same time the Russians lost kherson and thousands of square miles east of kharkiv.

Pretty pathetic for the alleged 2nd strongest military in the world versus Ukraine.

Don’t forget that Ukraine has been winning this war for the better part of a year too! I’m sure the purported Ukrainian counter offensive to take back Crimea will happen any day now!

LMAO at all you Ukraine lovers. You should be like me. IDGAF who wins this war. It’s not in America’s interest either way.

It certainly would be impressive if it happened, say, eight months ago.
But the reports we see say Russia has been throwing men and ammunition at Bakhmut, World War One style, and all we can do is scratch our heads at that.
It makes no sense to us, except maybe for Bakhmut's symbolic value.

And, we might suppose, Russia is using Bakhmut to tie down Ukraine's forces and prevent -- or delay-- them from gathering for their own counter-offensive.
