Ukraine decided that Severodonetsk was not worth fighting for. It controls no strategic ground and Russia has stripped its defenses in other areas. Ukraine is exploiting those opportunities. Of course you don’t know shite about war or anything else so I don’t think you understand how the situation has evolved.

That’s a nice way of saying they’re losing.

It was sourced and discussed ITT that Ukraine may pull back from Severondetsk to higher ground for longer term strategic play. You should read more and post less.

Yet you didn’t think Russia was losing upon their rapid retreat from Kyiv and Kharkiv.

Geopolitically, it's hard to say that Russia will have won even if they conquered all of Ukraine, given that they will be in a worse security situation than ever if we go by their original justifications for invading Ukraine. Ukraine is going to be a quagmire regardless, their border with NATO countries will be much larger now, and their O&G receipts might be uncertain, especially if the Eastern Med gas discoveries see fruition.

Tell me more about the strategic brilliance of trying to capture Kyiv and Kharkiv and failing miserably to do so?

Are they not making a stand in Donbas? I'm shocked the mighty Russian army didn't steam roll them? I mean Russia has advanced a few kilometers in a few places, but Russia really hasn't made any significant gains yet that change anything.

As to the Northern Offensive, I absolutely expected Ukraine to move harder on the exposed flank. I still think they will; however, by half arse attacking in that area, they've given Russia a chance to reinforce and prepare, so maybe that was just a fient to draw away Russian combat power from the Izium area.

If that was their plan, then it appears to have worked as Russia appears to have abandoned their Izium offensive and instead moved that combat power north (To block the Ukrainian offensive) and east to add to the attack on Severodonetsk.

I think it is telling that the mighty Russian army is making so little progress even in the Severodonetsk area.

And again you seem to have some strange obsession with how much I post...weirdo

Probably thinking about how much longer their 4 month stand in the Donbas can continue.

How are your predictions for this affair looking?

I just read Biden is going to deliver four long range, high loiter time drones to the Ukes. And these are loaded with armaments. If the Ukes can keep them in the air at least a few Russians will go BOOM!

Russophiles have an extraordinary ability. They can talk out their asses. Sphincter ventriloquism is a Russian phenomenon. Their lips move but the sound is actually coming from their asses.

I have been following James Vasquez since he popped up on Twitter after the start of the war.

Former Marine who went to war for Ukraine. He signed up for 2 months of duty and his time came to an end. He has a wife who evidently wasn't too happy that he went to war. He announced about 3 days after he got home that they were separating. He preparing to return to Ukraine and live there after the war to help them rebuild. I suspect he came home and told his wife he was going back and she said see ya.

This is his Twitter feed for those who care

Lol but also wonder how Xi feels about this being a direct aid to India realizing a margin on what one would assume is large quantities of Russian oil.
