Putin was holding back the entire time
-
the only rational explanation for his restraint was that he wanted to minimize civilian casualties and damage to critical infrastructure
-
this desire to minimize collateral damage makes Putin a better man than all of the Western commanders who indiscriminately carpet bombed their enemies in virtually every major conflict since WW2
-
at this point, if Western media are speaking, they’re lying
-
everyone on this board who thought the Ukraine was winning this war, or that Russia was somehow outmatched, is a fucking retard

They're completely mad if they want to 'finish' things before the effects of their own mobilization kick in.
I said they'll make a push, starting in November, with the aim to finish the conflict. Not that they expect it to be over in five weeks.
OK, but why would they make a push before the mobilization provides them with a force multiplier?
If the mobilization was aimed at creating a backline force to garrison and hold existing gains, for one.
I reiterate, I think they'll launch a major offensive before too much longer.
