Strategic retreat to save men and armor.

Ukraine charges forward. Russians are building tremendous reinforced battle forces.

Wait a little longer. Giving up territory to prepare for strategic counterattack is one of history’s repeated maneuvers used by WINNING strategists.

Ukraine is losing men and material it cannot replace.

Even Napoleon understood ground can be retaken and did so often enroute to victory.

Mao was chased across China but later won a lasting victory.

You guys have been saying "just wait" for months now.

Putin has already had to send some of the 300K mobilized home because they had no where to put them, no way to equip them, no way to train them.

Meanwhile Ukraine cancelled its autumn draft because they have enough volunteers.

Wake up and smell reality.

You are delusional. The Russian are running back to unre-enforced positions,(which is why the Ukes are taking so much ground)

How did things work out for Napolean? Mao was FROM China. The Russians fighting here are from Dagestan and Ikutsk and are fighting for NOTHING other than enough Rubles to buy a used Lada..

The ONLY way this invasion would have worked was if Putin had overthrown the Government in the First two weeks. When he didn't the Quagmire clock started.

Ukraine only gets MORE Quagmiry for Putin from here.

Its really weird all the people that say they hate Bush/Neo-cons think "quagmires are good things" - Say it in a Bernie Sander's voice for full effect.

Just Dumb.

—”Strategic retreat to save men and armor.”

So they left dead and wounded on the field to save some ancient armored vehicles?

No wonder Putin has recruiting problems, reenlistment among the few survivors must be near zero.

Morale, zero; unit cohesion, zero; discipline, zero...

Under these conditions, the scuttlebutt spreads like wildfire. And everyone has a cellphone...
