Kaminski Brigade and Lokot, but not really on the same scale. Some Trawniki Men and ROA as well.

the slow creeping style seems to be serving Russia pretty well, I don't see why you'd move away from it when it's the Ukrainians taking it in the teeth right now.

Montgomery would call it “crumbling” :eng101:

You beat the poo poo out of your enemy with massive artillery/air bombardment and then slowly and methodically pick apart his line, taking what he’s now unable to hold until eventually he’s left with nothing.

Admittedly, Affirmative Action Empire is actually a pretty well known book and is generally considered one of the better works on the nationalities system even if it has a fairly ridiculous name. It also I don’t think really supports a clear monarchist point unless you think giving any cultural or linguistic rights is inherently wrong.

We did 20 years in the middle east and it was guchi, why can't the Russian military just maintain a presence in the same way?

To be fair also, these two countries were also part of the same only 30 years ago, it’s a bit different. It also seems like the integration of the current territories mostly went forward okay (the ones the Russians continue to hold at least).

———

Also, I don’t really think the current Russian strategy is due to a failure of tactics or training, but it is simply the logical course of action. The Russians have greatly reduced the losses they have been taking while still keeping Ukrainian losses high, time is working for the Russians. Why commit to a giant offensive as soon as possible?

There is too many glory hunters on both sides in this thing.

quote:

Pres-ident Zelenskyy’s declared objectives have changed over time, but, as of December 2022, his stated goal is to retake all of Ukraine’s territory, including Crimea and the areas of the Donbas that Russia has occupied since 2014. Still, com-plete territorial reconquest would not constitute an abso-lute victory. If the Ukrainian military were to eject Rus-sian forces from Ukraine, they would doubtless seriously degrade the Russian army in the process. Nonetheless, Russia would have a wide variety of capabilities on its terri-tory and beyond—particularly the navy and the aerospace forces, which have not taken major losses in the war—that could enable continued strikes on targets deep within Ukraine. Russian ground forces could readily regroup and launch another large-scale offensive. To achieve absolute victory, Ukraine would have to deny Russia the ability to contest its territorial control. Forcing the Russian military to cross the international border would not produce that outcome. And although Ukraine has surprised observers with its ability to defend its own homeland, it is fanciful to imagine that it could destroy Russia’s ability to wage war.

Fancy manoeuvres, rapid dashes into the enemy’s rear and big encirclements are always what get people going, but the actual trade of winning a war is a lot less, shall we say, “aesthetically pleasing”.

Rommel might be considered a military genius for all his daring-do, but Rommel also lost.

That's why there are alarms here and there, the streets are not empty. Everyone goes about their business. Or if you get to it anyway, because everything is closed, you can't run errands or shop, they talk.

The soldiers and policemen left here. You can dry it up a bit. A woman comments: if this continues, Hungarians really won't stay in Transcarpathia, because those who have dared to stay here so far would also flee.

"You can't live here anymore. They don't shoot for nothing, they don't have to run away from bombs. It is because of the power cuts that life stops all day. You can't cook, wash, many people can't even heat without electricity, in fact, we don't have water, you can't even flush the toilet, and sometimes it takes 8-10 hours. Hungarians who don't leave here will be taken anyway, it's just a matter of time"

Sounds like whoever is firing cruise missiles into the power grid is causing real hardship for these Hungarians.
