Has WW3 started? Are we still worried about wmd's? @ThomasFremont has made peace yet?
Anyway, how are things going for the Russians? Still going "just as planned"? The glorious plan to attrition away a generation of young people in a demographically declining country still Putin playing 4D chess?
How has the capture of Bakhmut played out? Strategically a critical turning point? Worth 100k bodies?
I'll take my answers off air...
Speaking only to my personal views, this was a war that couldn't be won without increasing the cost and risk several notches. That seems to be playing out as predicted. That isn't defending Russian strategies, that's simply observing the reality of the situation.
Did you try telling Russia that?
They seemed to think the glorious VDV was going to capture Kyiv in short order, which is why the best Russian troops got helicoptered in to their deaths at Hostomel Airport?? And why columns of riot police and troops got blown the fuck up while leisurely rolling down the highway?
Talk about 10d chess. All part of the 2 year plan to take....Bahkmut.
God damn Russia is amazing
