Everything is going to plan. ROI’s and shredding’s are through the roof. Victory is in site.
I mean even the Russian propagandists are criticizing what it cost them to take Avdivka. (You know, that tiny town on the existing border that took them years to take)
The Kremlin is responding by killing anyone that says it but still.
This has completely devolved to WW1 trench attrition warfare. Should do wonders for Russian ambitions to dominate in a new multipolar world.
That was the sound of another irreplaceable AWAC crashing.
I know you have openly a different perspective, which is to have a long bloody stalemate and don't give a fuck about the save democracy narrative in Ukraine (I'm with you on the last part). But Americans like wars that we are on the winning side of. This thing was always going to collapse quickly once the narrative of Ukraine actually winning was shown to have always been a pipe dream. This whole thing has been humiliating.
Putin's stated strategic objectives were to overthrow the Ukrainian regime and establish a pro-russian regime, "demilitirize" Ukraine to establish a pseudo buffer state, and "stop Nato expansion".
As much as many Tug isolationists want to ignore world politics and influence our enemies don't. And they are our enemies make no mistake.
Russia signed up for Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam all rolled into one at once on their border. They'll be occupied with this for a generation if it doesn't cause the collapse of the regime instead of fucking around with us in Africa and the Middle East while fabricating Intel for the Dems.
Fingers crossed the PLA decides to invade Vietnam again.
