I love you writing here is 100% vote!
Unfortunately Russia ended up paying such a grievous price that it was very much a pathetic victory. The wholesale slaughter and descent into meat wave tactics? Highlights how desperate the situation continues to spiral.
Military-wise actually this was really smart to just reset the line. Instead of defending a salient position.
You're absolutely right. They're building defense lines now that are going to be almost impossible for Russia to pass through there.
We're still waiting for F-16's don't forget about that. If Ukraine can start winning in the sky then they can start taking back large areas of territory by breaking through the lines. It's going to make a difference for sure. Only we'll have to wait for the Spring or Summer.
If it's true they maintain a defensive strategy then we'll see F-16's backed up by air defense and with newly constructed fortifications on the ground more meat wave attacks mean even higher casualty rates.
Just heard Ukraine released their deaths in the war so far: 31,000
That's 10X less that Russia. Any other country in the world would have waved the white flag and retreated by now. Only those meat wave ranks are prisoners and foreigners for the most part (so they say).
Keep on rocking in the free world @ganjafarmer!
Did you see they legalized in Germany! Russia is anti-hemp :(
Congratulations Germany.
Russia shit the bed in this. The losses are looking to be 70+% total military losses.
Then them A50 losses. Oh yeah awacs planes aren't cheap. We only have a limited number and Russia has less.
China is shitting the bed with their past economic issues biting them in the ass... Oh yeah... No war for China they can't even build houses. The youth are in outright rebellion. And the world just bailed on China for manufacturing.
China has its main support now selling arms to Russia. Is that Russia China tunnel cleaner and operational after the sabotage and bombing of that military arms shipment train track and SOLE connection with Russia... Oops. Guess it's not that durable like Russia thought.
Then russia paying 10x the cost for Iranian weapons? In gold! Hahahahahha
Fubar, ha ha. Yeah forgot about the train bombing. Difficult to fix especially in the Siberian winter.
