Why Russia is So Desperate to Capture Avdiivka
Youtube.com ^ | 2-5-2024 | The Icarus Project@UNITED24media

Posted on 02/04/2024 10:18:18 PM PST by UMCRevMom@aol.com

Russian forces are pushing hard to take the Ukrainian stronghold of Avdiivka. But why?

In this video, we do a deep analysis on Russia's staggering losses, including infantry, tanks, and heavy equipment. We talk about why Russia wants the city so badly, what Vladimir Putin's stake in it is, and how it all connects back to Russia's invasion of Crimea and the War in the Donbas.

The video is too long,you have to watch 15 minutes before the guy answers the question. Basically the author claims Russia thinks it needs the city to project unity within the Donbass. Russia thinks having this city in Ukrainian control just a few miles from the territory they hold now will become a future lightening rod for pro/Ukrainians.

I suppose the silver lining could be that Putin may have defined some armistice lines in advance of a potential settlement. Obviously he expects to keep this territory in Russian control, either Russian or independent but pro-Russian. That could be the basis of peace talks, assuming both sides would sit down. Ukraine is not likely to agree to this, and Russia wonโ€™t want to look like they are weak in agreeing to talk. So this conjecture could all be for nought.

You have waggled your sword, and issued a challenge!

“And second try to get a brain and learn a bit of history”

So. What, in the categories of “brains” and “history”, are we to cross swords about?

Midway through that video, much of Russian advances were committed during Obozo’s mis-aministration...

Putrid is desperate for a victory on the 711th day of his “3 day war” So he uses his troops as cannon fodder to try to overwhelm the Ukrainian defenders.

Now that US military aid is cut off Putrid will not be satisfied with just conquering Donbass but will conquer all of Ukraine. Then his Killing Fields can begin in earnest against the Ukrainian civilian population.

Putrid will finish the job that Stalin started when he murdered millions of Ukrainians in 1933: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsM3YoPiloE

The path to stopping it is with the toe of the boot. And don’t look back.

It would be good riddance to bad rubbish. Foreign wars that bankrupt America is not a conservative thing. Why it is here when it is a Biden created war to hurt our country and help globalist interests is very odd.

It is obvious that these folks wait breathlessly for you to post so they can begin their rants, and rehashed comments.

I can see them smashing that refresh button till they see the post.

When they are the first responders to you post their cries of leave us alone, stop the spamโ€ฆ.. certainly at best ring disingenuous

I wonder if there is a red light and siren that goes off in the St. Petersburg troll cubicle floors to let them all know your post has dropped.

Just to let you know I appreciate what you do.
