I noticed when the Russians started getting pushed backwards months and months ago people started trying to convince themselves that Russia ‘hadn’t really tried yet’.
Russians have been stuck trying to take Bakhmut since last August and still they can’t impose their will, with all their focus on one little stretch of dirt for months and months.
Have those expecting Russia to demonstrate competence it has thus far hidden from the battlefield tell us what gives them faith in the Russian military?
The Russians keep their cards close to their chests as to the war. I suspect the Special Operation was fairly much a show of force to get Ukraine to immediately capitulate to their demands.
That obviously didn’t happen. What is also obvious is that Russia did not have at it’s hands an extremely powerful and threatening offensive military jumping at the bit to conquer Finland, Sweden, Poland, Ukraine, Germany, the Czech Republic, etc., ad nauseum. Can we agree on that?
So what’s with America through NATO making a steady push up to Russia’s door as if they did and lying to everyone saying that they were?
It’s mystifying to me why so many people think that Russia is suddenly going to become competent. It’s a third-world country run by mob bosses and it’s always been that way.
Bakhmut and other places have been a meat grinder for the Ukrainian military. If it weren’t the lying media would be on the front lines showing the incredible victories every single day.
