you continue to think this Special Military Olympiad is about "territory",

If it wasn’t about seizing territory why all the trouble of passing annexations for regions beyond the control of your troops?

no matter how many times the Russians tell you it's about killing the Ukrainian army.

Crazy what a failure that’s been considering you place it as the primary goal. The Ukrainians are going to come out the other side of this war with all kinds of ex-NATO kit that’s superior to the ex-Soviet trash they started the war with. They’ve just been given more F-16s than they had MiG-29s and Su-27s, and they’ll have an arsenal of available precision weapons for that platform.

From getting kicked out of Kherson to staring down NATO fighters from the Black Sea to the Arctic Circle! Could the Russians have screwed their strategic situation worse than this botched invasion, with the consequent grinding up of their army whilst adding members to NATO?

Because you're ignoring what the Russians themselves have said.

Once the Ukieburger army is gone, who is going to protect all those annexed regions? Poland?

Like most of the Ukraine contingent on FR who don't understand anything about military strategy or military tactics, you continue to think this Special Military Operation is about "territory", no matter how many times the Russians tell you it's about killing the Ukrainian army.

None delivered.

They might want some pilots, too.

I hear they might have 6-8 lined up - the claim is that they have to become proficient in English to be trained to fly the undelivered F-16s.

If the Ukies could coax The Ghost of Lucerne [Denny Davidov] out of his cush pad in Switzerland, they might have 9 pilots.

Of course, he's claiming he can only speak Swiss.

More fascinating real-time denial from you. Step away from the IPad.
