eventually he’ll run out of other people’s money to gamble with
This sounds a lot like the Battle of the Bulge. Once it’s over, the war is essentially over.
Zalenskyy is a comedian, not a field marshal. His meddling is getting troops killed.
He is also responding to pressure from the Western nations to “do something”.
NATO will fight until the last Ukrainian.
“Ukrainian channel Legitimny reports Helensky is prepared to sacrifice up to 20K dead and 40k wounded in the Kherson offensive, which would be 6% of his army.”
“In principle, the options are:...ii) “ramp up critical shortfalls” by invoking Defense Production Act”
SERIOUSLY??? They haven’t even done that little? I figured that it was invoked on Feb 25, which is why I was never hearing about it.
Guess it never occurred to them, as they think Russia is losing due to only reading the NY Times.
I’ve consistently said I don’t believe the propaganda coming out of either side in this war, eventually one side will give up and negotiate.
If Russia can’t be pushed out of Ukraine, which I don’t think Ukraine is capable of, I doubt Putin would be willing to negotiate anytime soon.
Given the sanctions that Western Countries have placed on Russia, he will likely force them to go thru the winter at the very least before negotiating and he might hold out until all sanctions are lifted by every Western Country before negotiating.
Who launches a major offensive that:
Was advertised for months?
No superiority in troops or tanks?
Greatly outnumbered in artillery?
Zero air support with an enemy that has air superiority?
With a hodgepodge of various donated equipment and barely trained troops?
Is Zelenski the same as Zelensky or Zelenskyy ?
Hard to get reliable information regarding this war. If however the Ukrainians were unable to take advantage of the unique opportunity of the “Kherson bridgehead”, then they really have no realistic chance to win. The Russians had 25,000 hard pressed, poorly supplied troops with their backs against the Dnieper with the bridges cut. They had no reliable means to resupply, reinforce or withdraw. Yet somehow they seemed to have won. Seems like a repeat of the Battle of Stalingrad.
I thought the Russian only had two weeks worth of shells left... last March.
I expect we'll see more ramping up of production of munitions we are sending to Ukraine. And frankly, considering who this war is against, NATO can afford to draw down its stockpiles to some extent because there's really nobody else to fight. A land war against China is unlikely in the extreme.
The leaders in the west will fight to the last drop of Ukrainian blood.
That should benefit the Russians in the East.
Sounds like this report was written in Moscow.
Is Ukraine looking for 10 year olds to operate RPGs?
"Moon Of Alabama was opened as an independent, open forum for members of the Whiskey Bar community."
Offensives launched for political reasons usually end badly. The Kerensky Offensive in 1917 destroyed public support for the Provisional Government leading to the October Revolution.
