Ukrainian armoured vehicles have smashed through a gap in Russian defences on the Zaporizhzhia front, it has been reported.

Eight-wheeled Stryker and tracked Marder Infantry Fighting Vehicles were seen behind Russian tank traps and dragon's teeth near Verbove - suggesting a potential Ukrainian tactical breakthrough in the area.

Russia analyst for The Institute for the Study of War, George Barros, said the news could mean Kyiv was preparing for another big push.

The only real “breakthrough” this week is Poland telling Ukraine to suck it.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That is nothing.
It’s just some politics going on.
It will be settled soon. So don’t worry about that.

Yeah, and the other stupid shizzle like it that some other 'Zoids use, like "stronk as bull."

Even had one of the 'Zoids, an Eastern European for sure, try to insult me by saying something about how because I was a Putin puffer I was given an extra plenksky or plonsky or something like that when I went to the "cafeteria." Not being a Youcraynian or being a fan of any of their dogworthy food I had no idea what their point was. My answer to that lame stupidity was epic and hilarious.

“Intentionally let the Ukes in making an advance similar to The Bulge, and then pinch it off like a zit and obliterate everything and everyone that will be trapped.”

That was Patton’s idea for the Bulge.
He wanted to let the Germans through and have his army pinch the Germans off, surround them and destroy them. Ike and Monty almost crapped a brick at the idea.

“Ukraine has already taken back over 50% of the land area Russian initially had manage to take”

That was land that Russia voluntarily vacated after they advanced on it. It’s not much of a victory to take over empty land.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

No. Russia FLED! It was debacle.
I’ll never forget the pro-Russians screaming their lungs out in febrile anger on Telegram as they helplessly so Ukraine take back, take back, and take back Ukrainian territory.

Patton was the pure warrior. Monty and Ike were politicians who worked partnerships, sharing of responsibilities, basically NATO.

Pure Warriors are few and far between. THEY are Born Leaders, not made.

“They fight, no matter what. With or without Western help.”

Wrong. They will stop fighting the very day that western help ends, which is why they endlessly beg for more money and weapons.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

WRONG.
Remember the repelled the initial massive Russian attack on Kiev all by themselves, before the big help from the West was arranged.

Also remember this:
The whole world thought at that moment that Russia would succeed taking all of Ukraine.

Biden even offered to exfiltrate Zelensky out of Ukraine!
Zelensky responded: “I don’t need a taxi, I need weapons.”
And Zelensky stayed, even though Kiev was getting surrounded by the Russians!
THAT my friend is the essence of COURAGE.

No one knows what doink means. Is it a word used by your video gamer friends?

Maybe it’s an eastern European version of “derp.”

Hoink a doink doink. 🥴

Were you there to document this first-hand (please post your pics), or are you just jacking off to more globalist propaganda?

Yes he was.
During his boyhood in California his family was visited from time to time by John Mosby of Mosby’s Raiders fame. They would ride over the countryside reenacting the battles of the war. Quite the training for a future soldier.

One of Patton’s biographers noted that while his classmates were studying to be officers Patton was honing his skills as a warrior.

“Remember the repelled the initial massive Russian attack on Kiev all by themselves”

Yes, the initial invasion. Now 18 months later, all their initial war gear is all gone, blown up, destroyed, and spent. They are ENTIRELY dependent on the west. The west even pays the salaries and retirement of their civil servants, and soldiers, and even their dependents. Everything… which is why they are here begging at the UN today. Cut them off and Ukraine folds.

“I don’t need a taxi, I need weapons” Zelensky is an actor (his pre-war/political vocation) so it may have sounded courageous to the simple and impressional, but obviously he was grifting from the beginning.

Sad
