Please god let this mean you won't post anymore in this thread. I'll put my hands up and suck the amorphous genitalia of several Hindu gods if so. I also might do it anyway.

I hope so too.

That would require them making an amphibious landing which they can’t do because of all the anti-ship defenses. The only way for them to advance is through flattening cities with artillery then taking the ruins. It’s always been like that for Russians. I seriously doubt their ability to mount an amphibious landing mainly because they have never done so on any type of large scale that I’m aware of.

Not really, more direct highways to Odessa. You have to go around and down alongside the Danube delta to go that route. Miles shorter with other roads/railroads

Russia uses the Wagner Group with many of its members having Nazi tattoos. You have completely killed your argument right out the chute

Well another posted that they may have been targeting missile sites there, which I can only presume were anti ship missile sites. That would be a prelude to an amphibious assault.
That’s why I mentioned landing just a couple of battalions. The whole point of the operation would be to tie up Ukrainian manpower and resources away from the counterattack on Kherson.
I wouldn’t completely discount Russia’s AF either. Are they capable of taking on a western military, of course not. But they conducted a bombing operation with at least 13 aircraft of 3 different types with no reported losses and it appears to have been successful. There are maybe 6-7 air forces on the planet that could pull that off in contested airspace.

What this thread coming to?

Any missile batteries there would have been for Snake Island. Missile batteries from Odessa and now HIMARS, even old Soviet artillery can decimate an amphibious landing. Note that all dwellings are on a skinny trip of land much like Dauphin Island or Grand Isle. There is no way to expand a bridgehead other than one direction. Every other direction is marshland

It appears that Russia took a power plant in the east, thermal so coal or natural gas powered.

I’m case Im not being clear, I don’t think the should expand any beachhead they establish there. The entire point would be to tie down Ukrainian forces and resources in a fight that really doesn’t matter all that much.

He's mad that I called out his posting style and his amazing bad-faith. I did some Donny Trump style negotiation: I suck the AIDS-infused dicks/genitalia of some Hindu gods, he doesn't post in this thread. I'll wash it all down with some Zima so I'm good. But I suspect he's going to behave like the Russians, violating good-faith agreements because of myopia.

They seemed to make the conscious decision to grind Ukrainian forces down, but one would think that you would increase the pace of operations to do that as well, right?

I mean let’s be honest, Russia is still just kinda fricking around down there without committing fully to the invasion. Using a bunch of minorities from their outlying territories and young conscripts. They haven’t fully mobilized and there’s still a bunch of Russian army dudes just chilling in Russia.
but one would think that you would increase the pace of operations to do that as well, right?
I also don’t think Putin really gives a shite about the timetable that much. Of course the longer this drags on the more time the west has to train the Ukrainians on cool shite like HIMARS and F-16s. Putin may be betting that western popular support will sour after a while because we have a tendency to have short attention spans and get bored really easily.
Posted on 7/26/22 at 8:27 pm to GeauxxxTigers23
So you think Russia will get serious at some point and finish this thing? It's really nice for Russia that they can throw the minorities into the fight and die and then save the pure Russians from Moscow and St. Petersburg. It must be good to be a tyrant.

A beachhead would be decimated quite quickly along with the landing ships/boats and supporting forces offshore. that is a no win situation for Russia

If they want to be able to claim any sort of victory yes. But I think they’ll wait to see how Ukraine’s counteroffensive in Kherson shakes out.

Longer term, will they annex pieces of Lithuania and Poland to de-landlock Kalingrad?

Ukraine hasn’t defeated anything “quite quickly.” They defeated the assault on Kyiv from the north but that took weeks and a shite ton of resources and troops. The whole point would be to take resources away from the counterattack on Kherson.

Lol no, that would involve war with NATO. Clearly Russia wouldn’t stand a chance.
