War in Ukraine

[IluvdoubleD's]

Being that I posting 17 seconds after the original post... not yet. Give it a couple of days. Nobody knows if there were generals yet.

If there were dead Russian generals, you would see pictures of their remains all over social media.

I didn’t even provide that. I was just and still am getting a huge laugh out of your typical response Curly

I'm still laughing hysterically that me asking a basic question just sets you off Proctor.

 

[DonjoVol]

There's hope for you yet volgr. A couple of months ago by all accounts this was a massive invasion of a lesser nation by one of the worlds most powerful Amies. Now the most pro Russian sympathizers acknowledge at best "it's a slow grind".

Ukraine has the largest military force in Europe.

Oh it sets me off laughing at your ignorant ass for sure Curly

 

[NorthDallas40]

Ukraine has the largest military force in Europe.

And yet they are 80+ days in and stuck going no where in a war that everyone said would be over in a week tops behind the largest army?

The Russian military is the real world equivalent to the Warcraft 3 peon army attack strategy

I'm just asking questions. Apparently you can't even do that in here without being called a Pootin Stooge LMAO.

You need to get back to work Proctor.

Let's go back six months. Would you have said Ukraine could battle Russia to a draw? No, nor would anyone else.

 

[evillawyer]

Can't park there mate.



Evidently, these were intentionally scuttled by Russia so they couldn't be seized by Ukraine.

 

[volgr]

It’s a really nice location for a forward depot and a nice launching off point for the continued spoiling attacks and harassment in Russia. Just like Belgorod is just across the border. You know where they blew up the fuel depot ?

It’s also the second largest city in Ukraine?

Yeah, I know Belgorod. Another tactical nothing that played well on social media. So far, you have listed no tactical significance.

I never made a prediction either way

 

[volgr]

No, and I wouldnt say that now. How are they battling Russia to a draw? Seriously, what planet do some of you live on?

 

[volgr]

You’re getting paid, right? No one would continually embarrass themself for free, right?

I notice you didn't answer the question.

 

[DonjoVol]

Let's go back six months. Would you have said Ukraine could battle Russia to a draw? No, nor would anyone else.

All I've stated is that Russia has much of Southern Ukraine occupied and could very well end up taking the rest of Southern Ukraine which could cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea. If they do this then Ukraine probably has no choice to start negotiating.

Second. I've provided more than enough proof that Russia's economy is still doing fine and will be fine going forward.

Now what I'm posting is going against the unofficial narrative of this thread so I'm immediately accused of supporting Putin and being a Putin stooge.

 

[DonjoVol]

They usually don't answer questions. Just accuse people of whataboutism, non sequitur and unsubstantiated tripe.

 

[volgr]

That is what it looked like in Phase I, but it isn't what materialized. There was no massive invasion. Russia doesn't have near the amount of troops one would expect an invading army to use, yet they continue to take territory, towns and cities. They also didn't have near enough troops to take Mariupol, yet once again, they took it. I don't know if the US could fight Phase 2 much better than Russia is at this point.

 

[volgr]

The tactical significance is that this offers Ukraine the ability to shell supply lines coming out of Belgorod. Belgorod has been used as a FOB for a lot of the Russian forces coming into the northeast of Ukraine. If Ukraine can station some of their long-range artillery there, it could make a significant difference in the supplies that reach Russian troops.

"IF" and "could". You think Russia is asleep at the wheel and will allow a supply line into the Donbas to be cut? We'll see how Ukraine uses Kharkiv, but as of right now it has little tactical significance.

The Russian soldier pleading guilty to a war crime, just have to hope news of that spreads somehow in Russia. Have to erode Putin's grip on the flow of factual information action to the Russian people.

I'm not going to bother, but dollars to donuts when the Russians were advancing there you posted what a great victory it represented. At the time.

 

[volgr]

Ukraine beating Russia so badly, Russia is offering to sell them electricity from the former Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant...

I’m comfortably working from home. Get back to the short order grill. And yes we all saw your question

You didn’t want that fuel depot anyway Larry amirite?

He did. And being Ukraine’s second largest city he was chest thumping over it too.

I can tell it is really hampering the Russians advance in Donbas. <sarc>

But those social media likes....

They can just tie to the European grid in Poland until they take the plant back Larry. In fact there were already posts about that here I’m pretty sure.
