Not at all.
Quite frankly as far as I'm concerned, the Ukraine war is basically over - at least for the US.
It's stalemated. Russia can't really accomplish anything offensively, & Ukraine will similarly be able to not accomplish much offensively.
Just like COVID - it's over. It's still there, it's just that nobody is going to care anymore.
At this point Europe can take over supplying Ukraine while the US pivots to China.
A while back, you were bragging that "Ukraine kept rolling". I have not seen any boasts about their recent counteroffensive.
I do love to see German and US tanks in flames (though I hope the crew survived).
You may not care, but your ruling class does, and will continue to care. Obviously not out of any love for Ukrainians.
Ah yes, your dogs that you can set at will on your enemies. Using your fiefs to fund the conquest of yet more fiefs.
I don't think i used those words, but Ukraine was able to make a lot of progress in August-November of last year because Russia neglected defense.
There has been no "counteroffensive", just smaller advances in limited areas.
The traditional idea of a WW2 offensive like D-Day, Stalingrad, Kursk, or Bagration simply are not relevant to this war. Both sides recognize that defense is dominant & that they lack the power to overcome defenses with large scale attacks without taking unacceptable losses.
Russia is no longer neglecting defense, instead, Russia has become extremely paranoid of Ukraine getting breakthroughs & so has invested very very heavily in layers upon layers of defenses.
Neocons care. But they are hated by the American public & will be thrown out of power come 2025.
No. Ukraine is a Euro problem. Russia is a Euro problem.
It did. I think you said something like: "You were coping saying that it was bad defenses, but Ukraine just kept rolling. LOL".
They said the 'counteroffensive' had begun, but then later denied it when people were not impressed by the results.
The strategy you said it should follow. You said General Armageddon (Surovkin) was holding the line defensively and baiting attacks, but that Putin then listened to Gerasimov in attacking Bakhmut (which did not hold, btw, contrary to NYT claims). Now it seems they are absorbing.
Maybe the Russian general staff is reading your comments. Let's hope so, because I want Odessa and Kharkov at the very least.
You can't throw them out of power. Just like McCarthy (who otherwise has surprised positively) said that he would not support a 'blank check' but then turned out to be the same old, same old.
Why? Russia is not bothering me. They're not occupying my country nor controlling my pathetic excuses for leaders.
True. The Russians have usually come around to the correct strategy even if they take longer than they should getting there.
The whole Wagner/Bakhmut thing was a total waste of resources so it won't be repeated.
This will leave the war stalemated in the big picture. Sure, there might be some small advances here & there, but nothing big like the early days or the war or Kharkiv or Kherson.
Yes Surovkin was right & now Russia is able to hold because he laid the foundation for it. Bakhmut & Prigozhin were wastes of resources. Sure, he technically "took" it as a ruin, but didn't make any progress or gains beyond that, and the cost was so great that Russia won't try to do it again elsewhere.
Neither side has the ability to execute a successful large scale offensive anymore.
Hahah I just figure out the obvious answers faster than some other people thanks to a lifetime of reading about military history & being into strategy.
You can bc they're all Democrats. A DeSantis Admin would be run by realists like Elbridge Colby, not neocons like [every Ukraine cheerleading think tank].
I don't believe he has let through any more Ukraine funding since saying that. Biden's Ukraine funding all came from last year before the Republicans took over. There hasn't been any new funding this year. Correct me if you can find a bill in Congress providing it.
This is why Biden had the pentagon claim an "accounting error" to lowball all the value of funding already given - so he could squeeze more into the $113b.
Maybe not you but most of Europe except for France feels very threatened by Russia.
