They've gone Basically 100 miles maybe in every direction in a country that's like 60% farm land. It's pretty obvious that they expected to have already won in practice. Obviously Ukraine is eventually fricked but how long until Putin gets turned on. He's going to have major issues if they don't pull this off in the next 2/3 days


What country gets fully conquered in 3 days other than the Vatican City? If ur was over a month then we can talk but it’s been only 3 days, this isn’t call of duty, let’s be realistic here.

Ukrainian intelligence says, Russia is about to fire with all available multiply rocket launch systems at Kyiv in about 30 minutes. God save Ukraine! God punish Russia!

3 weeks but you’re point isn’t wrong.

Iraq had a far inferior military than Ukraine.

Iraq’s terrain was purpose built for rapid movement by armored forces

Iraq had zero Air Force at the onset of the war and basically zero anti-aircraft defenses.

The amount of posters in here and their insanely short timelines for war is alarming.

You sound like the poster the other night that said if they didn't take the capital city of 3 million in the dead of night that Putin failed.

Agreed.

This is the “have it now” nature of our society.

The Iraq/Afghanistan war lasted 20 years.

Vietnam technically lasted 19 years.

WW2 lasted 6 years.

Korea lasted 3 years.

It has been 2 days.

Yeah but Ukraine has the Ghost of Kyiv and a bunch of based grandmas and Instagram models picking up AK47s that are willing to go out and fight

Tell us the extent of your military experience is COD and what you read on Reddit without telling us the extent of your military experience is COD and what you read on Reddit.

Y’all Russia is getting its absolute arse beat by the Ukrainians right now. You can tell because they have the capital city of Ukraine completely surrounded, are begging it’s old women to come to the park and make Molotov cocktails, and Ukraine’s president on tv every chance he gets begging for help and bullets.

The Battle of Stalingrad alone lasted 5 months.

German invasion of Netherlands only took 4 days but Netherlands is much smaller than Ukraine. German invasions of Poland and France both took about 4-6 weeks- that seems a much better comparison, and the Germans certainly did not hold back in those places as the Russians seem to be doing in Ukraine.

Yep.

“Russia hasn’t taken over the country of Ukraine in under 48 hours. He only has, like, 12 more hours before it’s all over for him!”

did people really think Ukraine was going to try toe to toe with Russia?

Of course they have given up a lot of land. Their military command is probably going to try and take advantages fights, not toe to toe. I’m confused why you are posting this stuff. It makes zero sense. It was never going to be the plan to go head to head.

I agree that people might be a bit hasty in proclaiming any kind of victory trend for either side. That said, I think part of it is generally people rooting for the underdog/victim and hoping for the best.

Much like everything else with the OT, there is no nuance allowed. Something either is or it isn't and those positions will be fought to the death.

For better or worse, that's what the OT is. Take whatever you want from this post.

He’s making a joke about the dumbass Biden voters falling all over themselves to declare victory for Ukraine based on some state funded propaganda they soaked up on Reddit

I mean, that’s exactly what they’re doing. Ukranian military formations are in the field fighting Russian military formations.

Ukraine is defending on 3 different fronts. They’ve had to spread their forces fairly thin. Of course Russia is facing the same problems.

I’m just replying to people saying that Russia is getting their asses kicked. I don’t see it that way and trust me, I wish I were because I’m pulling for Ukraine as much as anyone. I enjoy seeing burnt up Russian tanks as much as anyone.
