“Now that the Ukraine supporters are claiming Bakhmut was of no strategic importance…

Flashback to 12/21/2022:

Zelensky speaks before US Congress.

He says Bakhmut is the “stronghold in the Donbas” and that the Battle for Bakhmut will “change the trajectory of our war”.

I would be willing to bet the average regular poster in this thread pays less attention to the MSM coverage of the war than you do.

Let’s see if he is correct.

Let’s see if Russia is able to gain advantages and move west, or if Ukraine counterattacks successfully.

Nothing has been decided, yet.

I’d bet the people that dismiss MSM watch everyday; otherwise, how would they be able to deride what the MSM reports?

The logic is sound and I’d make the same bet

Yeah whenever I look and see there have been 7-10 new pages in a relatively short order I just automatically scroll to the end now because I know the trolls have shown up and I’m not wasting those few minutes of my life reading their ridiculous garbage. If they don’t like it so much they don’t have to click the post but they can’t help themselves from being gigantic douchebags.


Mostly the same, it’s why I’ve quit responding to individual posts within the pages of nonsense anymore.

Sounds like maybe a coalition of countries with the platform will each send a squadron of 12 each in a coordinated transfer

Russia is on the brink of breaking through Ukraine's strongest defense lines in the Donbas. Once Bakhmut falls, their 70km Donbas defense line that they started building up in 2014 will have a huge hole in it.

russia mobilized 150,000 soldiers in the fall and everything is pointing to a major spring offensive



Now that Bakhmut has fallen, I guess the road is open to the rest of the Donbas. When can we expect the big Russian push?

Imagine still simping for NWO puppet Volodymyr Zelenskyy who literally came from nowhere to "win" election in a heavily Orthodox Christian country

I doubt the RU spearhead could make it past the throngs of Bakhmut citizenry welcoming their emancipators.

Honest question what does this

Have to do with

Are you saying because he is Jewish he couldn't have won because Christians wouldn't vote for a Jew?

Why would they do that? They have been building defensive positions for months. Just sit back and let Ukraine deplete the rest of their military in this counteroffensive they're feeling pressured to attempt.
