Western Propagandists Have Trouble Reading the Tactical Situation in Bakhmut
Gateway Pundit ^ | 19 Mar24 | Larry Johnson

Posted on 03/19/2023 11:10:04 AM PDT by delta7

Military leaders in the U.S. and NATO continue to insist that the Russians are making little progress in Bakhmut. Here are a couple of examples of this so-called “thinking”:

Russia is making small advances near the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut but this was coming at a great cost, the top U.S. general said on Wednesday.…. No significant gains? I am publishing this animated map as a public service.

The time lapse you tube map speaks volumes….the same encirclement is also occurring in Avdika.

The collective West’s narrative is collapsing.

Before the war cheerleaders discount the war map, it is a western published map, closely coincides with Russia’s MOD map. I monitor both, the western map usually is a few days behind the Russian MOD map.

You can see both with commentary on you tubes “Military Summary Channel”, a daily read to stay current and sift through all the false narratives.

True, but MUCH FASTER. Seems that the Neocons shot their wad in Bakhmut.

This useless meat grinder precipitated by Putin’s disastrous, catastrophic, insane decision to invade Ukraine is being enjoyed and promoted by the globalists. They are deliriously happy that this crisis is the great opportunity to transform two white Christian nations into useful cogs in their new globalist world order run by elites.

Didn’t your wife tell you to cut down a bit?

It’s a small city and they haven’t captured it yet, so yeah the map tells the story.

Maybe they will maybe they won’t

The longer it takes the Ukrainian new armor divisions get closer to deployment.

The Russians know this.

Western propagandists have a hard time getting dressed in the morning much less analyzing the fluid military situation right now in Novorusiya.

I don’t think anyone (including the Ukes) expected the town to last this long. It has been MONTHS.

And the map is cool.

It leaves out a couple of things:

1. The encirclement from the top is stuck in the mud. Literally. It hasn’t moved in a week or so.
2. The Battle area is miniscule compared to the entire front. The city is modest in size and not really strategically important. Zoom out on that map and it’s pretty telling.

The Russians should have brought their strategic bombers in and rolled that city up in a couple of days. Russian armor should have plowed through that area. It should have been taken before winter set in.

The Russians are acting like this is Stalingrad.

Really, its the US Women’s World Cup Soccer team eventually beating a good High school Boys team after playing to a draw for 44 minutes. Yeah, its a win...but it tells you how good they really are.

Next Friday we start the fourteenth month of “Three Days to Flatten Kiev”. This show may run longer than “CATS”.

Russians being stuck in the mud would be an improvement. Their logistics are from the late Napoleonic War era.

Bakmut was used as a drain - a black hole to suck as much resoursces and men as possible. The same way Ukraine is used against America.

But jackass Uke harpies, like yourself, keep feeding the beast - then scream for more.

If you look carefully at the last three seconds of the video gif you will see that there are at least 9 Ukrainian brigades that are now surrounded and trapped. The Russians have fire control over the only route of retreat for these Ukrainian units. The time-lapse video shows significant progress over the course of the last thirty days. And I am not just talking about the capture of territory. The losses the Ukrainians are suffering are enormous in terms of men and equipment.

I can’t discern propaganda from fact in this war. Propaganda spews from both sides. However, if this map is accurate it does not surprise me that our military leaders are not capable of reading of through their lens of wokeness. I am reminded of the map portraying Taliban advances and control of Afghanistan and the lies propagated by the DefSec and Joint Chiefs that culminated in a disastrous retreat of defeat that tarnished America for years to come.

These are not serious men.

Looks impressive until you realize that's eight months of assaults. Maybe the Russians will reach Kiev around the year 2100.

Milley and Austin don't look like they can fight their way out of a wet paper bag with a rip in the middle. I don't have any faith in the leadership of our military. The woke assholes ran off most if not all the real men we had. The Ukrainians should second guess everything nato tells them.

Vlad stated clearly his objectives quite clearly on Feb 24. Liberating the ethnic Russian provinces is almost complete. With Bakmut and Avdika rolling up that goal will be realized.

You would do well to view the social media videos of massive ammo trains kilometers long carry tons of ammo from Russia….two three times a day through Belgorod ….660 km from Moscow, only a seven hour transit by rail, very, very short supply line.

Very impressive, even the Pentagon has commented on their impressive ammo logistics system.

The Ukies have been reduced to moving ammo by pick up trucks, Vlad moves it by locomotives.
