The Russians told the Ukrainian moths what the purpose of the bugzapper light was, but like with any moths and neoconneds, it didn’t change their “strategy” one iota.

I think that I can see that here! Perhaps if they watch the Ali-Foreman fight, they’ll understand what is happening to them.

“Story doesn’t ring true. Difficult to imagine a commander publicly criticizing Moscow and living very long after.”

Agree. I think there’s a term for this: Trolling.

Guess he will have to give the order: “Fix bayonets and charge” to these “highly motivated” troops.

But make no mistake, Russian troops are numerically larger than the Ukrainians and are willing to raze whole cities with missles and artillery.

Data from the European Commission, quoted by El Pais, says that Russia has a 10:1 advantage in artillery:

According to data from the European Commission to which EL PAÍS has had access, Russia fires between 40,000 and 50,000 artillery shells per day, compared to 5,000-6,000 Ukrainian forces expend. The Estonian government, which has been one of largest contributors to Kyiv’s war effort, puts the average use of artillery at between 20,000 and 60,000 Russian shells per day, and 2,000 to 7,000 Ukrainian rounds, according to a document sent to EU Member States by Tallinn, to which this newspaper has had access.

The Russian forces fire ten times the number of shells the Ukrainians can fire. In a modern war artillery fire causes 65+% of all casualties. It is thus impossible that Ukraine is losing less soldiers than the Russians.

The total ratio may well be 7 to 1 but it will certainly be to the advantage of the Russian forces side.

But minimizing the losses Ukraine has in Bakhmut seems to be a current propaganda scheme.

The war in Ukraine has exposed the uncomfortable and dangerous truth that America has lost its ability to mass produce in a timely manner artillery shells, cruise missiles and other critical military equipment. While the CIA and the Western media continue to insist that Russia is running out of rockets and missiles, Russia continues to fire an average of 20,000 artillery rounds a day (compared to only 3 to 5 thousand by Ukraine).

I’ve noticed that operatives don’t pay attention to what’s actually going on in the field, rather they report the headlines that they’re given.

Saying it 50 times won’t change what’s being reported this morning.

I’m just repeating what you dudes were saying 500 times.

“won’t change what’s being reported this morning.”

Kacaps took a house in Bakhmut... Neocon, Ukrainian Naizs defeated... Russia victorious...

Strategy is irrelevant when you lack the capability to implement it

You mean like the Neocons causing a war in Ukraine with the intent to DESTROY the Russian economy and military...

...just to find out that Russia was ready for that and China will help them as long as needed, and India will help too.

SMARTER strategy is to first get some other countries, particularly BIG COUNTRIES on one’s side before trying a stunt like that.

As usual, your gross ignorance is showing

The war between Ukraine and the Russian war criminals has nothing to do with American politics and a nebulous group you label as Neocons.

Why are you posting ON THIS SITE, if you think it’s me labeling the bunch that caused this war as Neocons?

There are far better sites for your Conspiracy Theories (such as the US had nothing to do with it).

“If Wagner is cut off from supplies,... why not just leave?

This may be exactly what Prighozin is planning. If Putin is stuck in Sochi having cancer treatment, gov agencies may be afraid to make decisions. Meanwhile Prig may think this is a good time to preserve his Wagners and make a move toward enhancing his own power within Russia. His losing Bakhmut will make Russia look weak as well. I don’t know how realistic the report about a group of Russians planning to assassinate Putin and restore Russian business relations with the West may be. But I wonder if they are communicating with Prig?

There are signs of recent increasing restlessness in Russia which someone like Prig would certainly be aware of, especially if he is traveling around Russia trying to recruit non criminal/prisoner fighters for Wagner. His correct use of American slang may be a matter of correct translation, or it could be because Prig has traveled in many parts of the world and certainly encountered American slang. Anyone know how much English Prig speaks?
