Hence the term now used “ Bradley Square” for the huge Ukie losses in the failed Zaporozhye “ offensive”…..the world is watching.

Why is the West so intent on committing suicide.

[C19fan]

I am just a layman who enjoys military history . I found the Ukrainians attacking along the entire front baffling. There is a German term for the decisive point where your offensive fist should be concentrated. I do not think the UK military advisors would make a mistake of launching these piecemeal attacks.

Interesting video by Mark Felton about the thousands of Ukraine SS members that Britain took in after WWII ended.

A prompt Russian victory may SAVE the West from committing suicide.

“… Why is the West so intent on committing suicide.”

Because it’s part of THE PLAN.

Here is my assessment: Ukraine wants the West to take over the war. The sooner they deplete their forces, the faster they think the US/Nato will come in and take over. I don’t think that is going to happen.

Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.

(Not though the soldiers knew
Someone had blundered)

Sad

Ukraine’s tanks charged directly into minefields without deploying mine-clearing vehicles first, contributing to the loss of 38 tanks during the night of June 8, including numerous of the newly delivered Leopard II tanks.

What a disaster. The German military, or what's left of it, is fuming how their tanks were wasted.

[JonPreston]

The price for Western weapons is taking a beating, with those from Russia and Iran increasing. Take that, MIC!

[Pete Dovgan]

Unfortunately, I think everyone saw this coming. NATO tactics require air superiority.

Expect F-16 and F-18’s in large numbers at Ukraine next, and Abrams tanks.

It gets more dangerous for the region by the day.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred…

II
“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

III
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.

IV
Flashed all their sabres bare,
Flashed as they turned in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wondered.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right through the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reeled from the sabre stroke
Shattered and sundered.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.

V
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell.
They that had fought so well
Came through the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

VI
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred…

My way of knowing that the ‘offensive’ had failed miserably was how little the media was talking about it.

I used to ignore David P. Goldman when he was working for Lyndon LaRouche.

I’m not going to start paying attention to him now, when he’s working for the Chinese Communist Party.

[SauronOfMordor]

They are accomplishing China’s objective of draining the US’s weapons supplies before China goes for Taiwan.
