Raenir Salazar posted:The longer this goes on and the longer Russia visibly struggles to make any headway, the more this seems like the Soviet invasion of Finland; a military effort that got bungled from head to toe, but Ukraine is a much larger country with a large more indepth military, hopefully Ukraine can avoid Finland's fate. plus almost literally every single country in the world is backing and supplying ukraine in all ways except troops and condemning and/or sanctioning russia in all ways except militarily. surf rock posted:https://twitter.com/tomhfh/status/1497688227209175049 this guy works for GB News, a sub-sub fox news level crap station filled with complete idiots, and they're also slow.

Reminds me of a certain racist moron who tweeted that the Russian offensive would crumble if we just dropped McDonald's Happy Meal coupons on top of the advancing troops. Some people think we are still up against the 1980s USSR.

I am confused as to how useful it is to make calls on how this is going. I keep reading so much, looking at so many tiktok rips and it's just a blur of raw data. I think I just find it interesting how our short attention spans are clambering for some overarching conclusions based on real time slices.

It's kind of tiring to keep hearing about the "this is how they got a casus belli" when it literally doesn't matter, there's no international organisation that actually cares about whether Russia was justified going to war or not.

That doesn't mean people are wrong or that Russia hasn't hosed up but I think it just helps people feel like maybe Ukrainians will get some vindication.

Honestly its not and it's just people trying to figure out whats happening for a major event. The people who legitimately know how this is going are not talking to the media or whatever for obvious reasons.

I think I just find it interesting how our short attention spans are clambering for some overarching conclusions based on real time slices. It’s impossible to make calls on the tactical situation in Ukraine. You can try using footage to make educated guesses about more localised theatres, but on the whole the media environment right now is primarily comprised of civilian eyewitnesses and propaganda from various directions. Ukrainian troops are maintaining strict opsec, and Russian troops are mostly doing the same (except for playing games on their phones while in transport, leading to military convoys showing up as traffic jams on Google Maps). It’s also worth noting that macroscopic outlook is on Putin’s side, as it’s a much larger and richer country with an authoritarian leader that’s not really vulnerable to bad domestic outlook.

I think I just find it interesting how our short attention spans are clambering for some overarching conclusions based on real time slices. Yeah "fog of war" is often repeated in this thread and not without reason. I've been thinking about this a lot, because I'm a historian and I've done a lot of research on WWI this past year due to a Twitter project I run. I've read a lot of newspapers of the time to find what is said about the conflict as it happened. Thing is, then as now, people are biased, not only in the way they consume news, but how they produce it. I've seen overwhelmingly Ukraine-friendly (though not necessarily Ukraine-POSITIVE) observations and newsdumps online. Is that representative of the online landscape in this matter, or is it due to the algorithm knowing that move in circles that is categorically anti-Putin? I don't know! News sources are obviously biased, which also muddles the water. British newspapers in August 1914 are filled with stories of German brutality, French and British heroism, great Entente victories and huge German defeats, all the while the frontline mercilessly approaches Paris. They don't technically deny drawbacks, but they overwhelm the reader with positive news, or reasons to hate the enemy. Are we falling into the same trap? When we hear of fierce resistance in Kiev, heavy losses among Russians, are we simply getting the (to us) positive gaps in a darker hole? Are the Russians truly hurting, or is it wishful thinking from the local and international press corp? I don't know. It's hard to know.
