Pener Kropoopkin posted:Ukrainians are suffering immensely, what do you mean? The C-SPAM take of "The Ukrainian army has obviously been annihilated" is as embarrassing as the D&D "The Russian conscripts have been vanquished at the gates". Every war is based on assuming your enemy is much weaker than they are and will fold quickly and everyone falls for the same poo poo over and over again.

Blarghalt posted:The army, maybe. Volksstrum tactics pretty much never work, as they'll implode under even a moderately disciplined foe every single time, and we're already seeing Ukrainians apparently lynching each other because the war panic about Russian saboteurs is spreading like wildfire. poo poo's gone south. I understand holding on, but it's up to Zelensky and the Ukrainian people to decide what they're willing to lose. I'm still pretty dubious about this being some sort of Volkssturm thing mostly because "hand out guns to everybody" is for the last 30 years an extremely common prelude not to volkssturm but to "laying the groundwork for insurgency" and isn't just a common play for a smaller power on the defensive, it's basically the play i've also never been quite clear on this - are the guns being handed out as part of a central strategy or is being done on the initiative of specific groups? like i could see this being something that central command doesn't really approve of while some right wing nutjobs are going "hell yeah go shoot your neighbors"

Frosted Flake posted:Sign Minsk II What is your prediction for how well things would have gone for Ukraine had they signed Minsk II and done everything Russia wanted since 2015? My pithy answer, based on extensive research into completely unrelated subjects, is "better than today" and also there wouldn't be COVID because reasons.

Frog Act posted:why are these dudes just in fancy technicals and not, like, BMPs Kadyrovtsy are paramilitaries, so even if they get massive amounts of financial support from Russia they're technically not a part of the army. So they have to source their own equipment like any other paramilitary group.

I understand holding on, but it's up to Zelensky and the Ukrainian people to decide what they're willing to lose. But there are no reliable indications as of now that the Russian army is a "moderately disciplined foe". There seems to be a pretty big lack of basic soldiering skills, example a lot of units cut off on their own just loving about.

This is just people mixing bearded guys up. yeah I figured, just had to ask since ramzan is such a weird caricature of a person I could half-expect him to lead the charge on mariupol wearing that stupid knight outfit he had on in the youtube clip someone posted a few pages back. ah, the islam understanders

A quick Wikipedia check puts the 2003 Iraq invasion at 20-25 days, and about the same for Afghanistan 2001, fwiw.

Handing out guns to civilians with limited training en masse does not an insurgency make.

Frosted Flake posted:Yep. Based on Russian speakers being gunned down as saboteurs now while the Ukrainian people apparently think they’re winning, Zelensky better hand over Azov and Right Sector. There is no way that defeated fascists won’t break off the “stab in the back” knob at 11. Since you're here, what was the approximate scale that was expected for the big USSR war? If I' remember right, the highest estimate for the Russian invasion force is about 190k? Of whom not all have entered the country?

boop the snoot posted:their country is being invaded An insurgency necessitates that the invader remains in the territory to be subject to the insurgent's reprisals rather than pulling out after achieving their goals, which we're not sure will be the case at this point in time.

Freezer posted:Mariupol looks like it's gonna get very hot, very soon. I hope at least some civilians have evacuated. They've been handed rifles and molotovs and told they stand any sort of chance against modern infantry. I hope to God their animal brain overrides their man brain and they just hide. Edit: not calling anyone an animal, just hoping they listen to their fear response.
