People are free to provide a different military analysis to the main points. Currently there's not really any debate because the other position here i...
Your point was about training and quality of skills, not motivation. And, as from many Russian's perspective, once the 4 Oblasts are officially part o...
It's also highly suspected and really little doubt about it, that "ex"-NATO contract soldiers man HIMARS and all the targeting is with NATO intelligen...
This is definitely true, but this plan does make sense. Invading Ukrainian territory with conscripts / reserves is neither legal nor a good political ...
I'm not following your theology, but please elaborate. It's not following a line: Russia's leverage in the situation is factual. All the US says about...
Another way to understand the situation is simply that the West finally picked a fight with someone they can't bomb. But has the West developed any ot...
https://youtu.be/BnxxELn00gk Even in the context of environmental crisis denialism, even Jordan Peterson can see the obvious. Only delusional propagan...
Definitely Putin is taking large risks and the whole war is a big gamble and makes lot's of people nervous. However, what matters in material relation...
And it's not even me saying we should prepare for Russia to use nuclear weapons. Who's saying it? Zelensky: https://youtu.be/l7ap_EoNPNE https://www.y...
If US / NATO retaliate. Provide one argument that they would? Ergo, what's likely? US / NATO will scale back their support for Ukraine as they have no...
Yes, you can be confident this analysis is legit. The only retaliation available to the US / NATO for a Russian tactical nuke in Ukraine would be some...
War is messy and chaotic, you're going to find pretty much anecdotal evidence for pretty much anything. Also, keep in mind a large proportion of Ukrai...
If the implosion of Russia follows failure in Ukraine, that's definitely one way to defeat Russia. If the war is with the Russian state and through wa...
And who's stating "He's in trouble and he knows it"? Jame Clapper. The very same James clapper who was Director of National Intelligence and also ... ...
A racist statement all the more absurd that even in 2020, before the war, Ukraine ranks below Kazakstan on the Corruption Perception Index and well be...
And, so nobody misses it, this statement is simply accepting my main point since the last few dozens pages and the absolute madness of the view held b...
What strawmen? can you backup your assertion with any citations. Furthermore, your friend @"apokrisis" spends several pages defending what he finally ...
As we've just seen with this gas thing in the EU, your factories don't run without the raw materials. You cannot dominate a party that you are depende...
For certain the war is only possible with Xi's blessing. However, Russia-Chinese relationship is far more equal than Western media presents. Russia ha...
Looks can be deceiving. For months Russia was gaining ground, but obviously had not "won", and now Ukraine has gained some ground back. Obviously thin...
How is this in anyway clear? You're the one that contradicted my point that these votes are significant (to the war), saying that's nonsense. Now your...
For those curious of why the words "tactical retreat" have suddenly become such hot topic, it is because it is optimum military strategy to inflict ma...
Even assuming all this is true and will result in encirclement of a BTG, this is still not what I would call a major strategic victory of penetrating ...
I literally say this: So I completely agree that: As I also mention, while the Ukrainians are trying to make a major breakthrough into Luhansk, Russia...
Oh, I understand, but, still, the leader of the country is certainly in some sense a collective effort over several generations. It is honestly surpri...
Additionally, there's been a lot made of Putin's remark that "all weapons systems" would be used to protect Russian territorial integrity (something t...
In the short term at least. NATO would need to essentially abandon entirely Ukraine for there to be a negotiate peace now, barring some super diplomat...
Nonsense? Obviously these votes will basically exclude the possibility of any negotiated settlement with Ukraine. Doesn't matter if you think the vote...
To continue my analysis of the military situation. At the moment seems Ukrainians are trying to make a breakthrough into Luhansk region, where they ar...
Can also just be made legal tomorrow. However, in discussing Russian draft dodgers relevant to the situation, should be kept in mind there are draft d...
Yes, as I've said before, if everyone here was pro-Russian I would make the case for the Ukrainians, in hopes of helping a negotiated peace. This is a...
1st guards Tank Army was reformed in 2014. There's a prestigious history (but not so prestigious as to avoid dissolving it in the first place). And ev...
Certainly pressure is high, no disagreement there. And definitely even partial mobilisation has a economic and political consequence, but my guess is ...
Zelensky has made his position clear that any compromise is rejected (at least right now). As for running out of options, the current situation is not...
For a diversion to work, it must be believable. To tie up large amounts of troops requires real fighting. The difference is simply that in an actual o...
For those interested in debating the actual situation in Ukraine. Russia has just announced a partial mobilisation, calling up 300 000 reserves as rep...
You do realise this is a Zelensky and co. complaint, that Russia took over Kherson and South-West Ukraine with hardly any resistance due to Ukrainian ...
I get it, the rest of Western social media is just repeating whatever Ukrainian "officials" say unquestioningly, asking zero questions that might be c...
What propaganda? Can you cite a single sentence of mine that is "propaganda" and not either plausible facts and premises or then reasoned argument fro...
You literally cite me right above your sentence, where I use the words "irrational", "no plan" and "poor performance" (discussing the Russian military...
The "all but one front" that actually mattered. If you followed this issue before the war broke out, the "limited war goals" military analysts would t...
This is obviously untrue in itself and your opinion on @"Benkei"s opinion or anything Ukraine would likewise be unimportant and you should have just b...
