Concur.
I know people here love to spout about fake news etc. But there is nothing fake about the hundreds photos and videos of all the blown out tanks in all the suburbs around Ukraine. Those photos are not staged in a studio (a la Capricorn One) or carefully edited propaganda a la TASS. A blown out tank means soldiers KIA, the Ukraine doesn’t give them a warning to evacuate any more than the Ruskies give warning to all the apartment residents that were blown to bits.
25k out of an invasion army of 100k is significant, there is no way getting around that. Sure you can shift more resources but then you leave yourself open elsewhere. And you can’t just conscript more soldiers into Kiev next week, they need months of training (and even then we see how well they perform).
Remember there has been fighting going on in those eastern provinces for 8 years so there is usually wreckage laying around. Be careful how you interpret wat you see.
Yep.
The most amazing thing is that only 25 Ukrainian soldiers have died. /s
The more Russians killed the better for mankind. The Ukes will wear the Russians down further with an insurgency those orcs can’t defeat. Anyone who thinks the Ukes didn’t study and adopt the tactics used in successful guerrilla campaign is in a state of delusion. The orcs might win the war, but in now damned way will they win the peace.
