re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

"FIONA HILL" is Danchenko's useful idiot.

You tell China that, at worst, they'll get something if they invade Taiwan.

Ummm, no they won’t. China invading Taiwan won’t do shite for them if it doesn’t work out, which is way more likely than not. It’s why the Chinese State Media is openly saying they’re going back to the drawing board hoping for a 2027 invasion.

It’s a Hannibal Invading the Alps level of ambition for China invading Taiwan and wanting their infrastructure. If they frick it up, both they and the world collapses. They know this and we know this, and Ukraine is way, way, way easier invasion than Taiwan, and it’s not going to happen anytime soon unless China actively wants World War III.

Amazing that the Russian offensive has been mostly stopped in its' tracks outside of Bakhmut.

I read that Bakhmut is a Wagner show and they're determined to succeed at all costs to show they can accomplish what they regular army can't.

These two statements are both true and contradictory. Let's look at why.

Prigozhin's main concern now is to prevent losses to his PMC. The loss of experienced mercenaries is bad business and weakens his position in the Kremlin. At the same time Wagner's image as Russia's best fighting group must be maintained.

So Prigozhin picked his area of operation (which was NOT Lyman) and issues a constant stream of reports of capturing locations in the area. But in actual fact they've purposefully been getting nowhere for over ten weeks. Most of the actual fighting is being done by Russian Army troops, thus another reason for the antagonism between the two groups. Meanwhile, although they are getting hit, losses to Wagner troops are kept at a minimum.

The Ukrainians are happy to cooperate in this dance. They keep Wagner out of areas of real strategic value and chew up the Russian Army advances.

Bakhmut reminds us of the 14th Century battles in Northern Italy. Mercenary armies on both sides going through all the motions of fighting but actually not fighting. Battles then were just accelerated negotiations for higher pay. The only casualties were the inexperienced peasants inducted into the fight at the last minute. Deja vu all over again...

I assumed everyone knows they are twitter posts. The reason I repost them is that not everyone on here chooses to access twitter for personal reasons. I can add the twitter link if you think it would be helpful.
