Sam Houston retreated to avoid a major battle until San Jacinto.

You must not like strategic moves.

Please tell us Nate, what’s next? How fast will Russia take advantage of these recent successes and capture all of the Donbas? I after the Donbas falls, will Ukraine sue for peace? Capitulate? When will that happen?


I have no idea. I don’t know the future but I do put some effort into to trying to understand the present.

We agree.

So all these maps you post and predictions you present are all wishful thinking, and you really don’t know anything more than I do.

I don’t recall ever making a prediction in the thread.

Not really. You present Rybar maps as gospel truth.

There once was a time when Rybar tried to be independent and honest, but then the Kremlin threatened warbloggers if they strayed too much from the official propaganda, and Rybar began mostly just copying what the official proclamations were.

You're invested in a fantasy, not seeking truth.

Heh, go see the mirror.

At least the mask has completely dropped in your "I'm only posting objective maps" dishonesty.

Not true at all. Always taken with a grain of salt and posted as such. They are pretty accurate though. That is just objectively true.

I’m not pro-Russia. I am anti-war. And if it weren’t for the west funding Ukraine this war would have been over four years ago and a million people would still be alive.

There is absolutely nothing sacrosanct whatsoever about the 1991 border of Ukraine. Ukraine has been within the Russian sphere of influence for the past 1,000 years. And here is my prediction (my first, I think): it doesn’t matter how long our country prolongs this war and how much human suffering it causes, Ukraine will be in Russia’s sphere of influence again by the end of it. I certainly could be wrong. I accept that possibility. Certainly Russia continues to advance on the battlefield. That is objectively the case.

Well, tell that to Putin. By any standard that is sane he started this war.

If Ukraine had surrendered to your Daddy, I guess so. But well, "tell that to Putin. By any standard that is sane he started this war."

Well, duh. There is nothing sacrosanct about any border. There never has been.

Heh, it's not your first at all, even remotely. You've used your "objective" maps to predict a quick collapse of Ukraine more than once, going back to close to a year. If you insist I'll dig an example out.

This one is rich. The NATO countries are the ones supporting Ukraine now and for damn good reason. We don't have significant cards to play any more, and that is shameful.

Actually what I said was the fall of Pokrovsk and Siversk was the beginning of the end of Ukraine’s defense of Donbas. That was not a prediction, it was a statement of fact that has been borne out with subsequent events and will continue to be.

Lol. Until the princes of Moscow became the agents of the Mongols and the Mongols took, sacked and butchered Kiev, Ukraine was the dominant cultural center.

Try some actual history for a change.
