You remember from long ago that my doctor recommended I get vaccinated.

You think posting this in a thread about Ukraine makes you look like the smart one.

Too bad the Kremlin’s duped fellow travelers can’t see the Nazi traits of genocidal mass murder in the very fabric of Russian history past and present.

Ukraine is still Ukraine after nearly two years of genocidal invasion by the biggest country in the world. If that isn’t winning nothing is.

The Russian Army has literally erased Ukrainian cities. They’re gone. It’s laughable for gaslighting Kremlin propagandist to assert Ukraine has done anything remotely similar to their own cities. They really do think we’re all morons. Unfortunately, they are partly correct.

The Nazis in Ukraine are the invading RuZZian Nazis.

Then why do the Ukes wear the insignia?
Proudly, in fact.

He’s here, you know. He’s a Zeeper.

Really? I hope he's reading this thread.

Hey, Vindman, you're a fat-assed, pie-faced traitor. I look forward to seeing justice for your treason.

Both of you

There doesnt seem to anything particularly strategic about Adviivka in terms of shattering the front. Its just a node, like several others, on the road net. Its a very long front and there are lots of places the Russians could advance, if they had the resources.

Consider the situation, if one is being generous to the Russians, as akin to that facing the Allies in the “Hundred Days” of 1918, or that facing Eisenhower in late 1944. Ideally the proper approach for the Russians is a “broad front”, as in those cases, with a series of attacks in rapid succession, to absorb the enemy reserves, to “shatter” the front. Eventually the other side will run out of resources to patch holes in the line. There would then be no particular significance in any given position, as it will be a resource contest.

The Russians do not, evidently, have the resources to do the Foch or Eisenhower thing.

It seems to me that Adviivka is way less significant than that. It is just a salient in the line, vulnerable to being pinched off, as any salient is. Think Kursk, 1943. It is just an opportunistic, limited objective. There is nothing behind Adviivka but more Ukraine.

Everyone has a bias. I have a bias against Hamas for example. But you aren’t negating anything he said by pointing out he’s on the Russian side (duh). Why not consider why someone of apparently Western/US extraction would say what he is saying - like maybe the possibility that it’s true?
