Good news for Ukraine - An advance of 45 miles starts with a few hundred yards. And Ukrainian scouts already have taken those first steps. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davida...d-to-melitopol/ Ukrainian scouts are inside Robotyne, the first Russian strong point on the road to Melitopol David Axe 11 Aug 2023 Liberating the city of Melitopol from its Russian occupiers is one of the top objectives of Ukraine’s long-anticipated southern counteroffensive. But the Russian garrison in Tokmak stands between the Ukrainian counteroffensive corps and Melitopol. And the garrison in Robotyne stands between the Ukrainians and Tokmak. A trio of Ukrainian army brigades has been on Robotyne’s proverbial doorstep for weeks now, probing and eroding Russian defenses at high cost to themselves. And on or just before Friday, elements of a reconnaissance battalion working alongside the combat brigades marched a couple of hundred yards down the T0408, the main road running north to south along the west side of Robotyne. A trooper from the 100-person Skala Battalion snapped a selfie next to a Robotyne city sign just southwest of the cemetery on the municipality’s northern edge. Significantly, the sign lies south of the first major trenchline anchoring Russian positions in Robotyne. That a Skala team reached the city sign doesn’t mean the main Ukrainian force—the 47th, 65th and 118th Mechanized Brigades with around 6,000 people between them—also have advanced south along the T0408. Skala’s job is to move swiftly in close proximity to enemy forces and scout targets for artillery, both on foot and by air with its fleet of small drones. “Skala specializes in reconnaissance,” Yuriy Harkaviy, the battalion’s commander, told Kyiv Post. “So we are fighting not just by using weapons, but through shrewdness and the sharpness of our minds.” The Skala probe is bad news for the Russian garrison in Robotyne, which includes the 291st and 1430th Motor Rifle Regiments, each roughly as powerful as a Ukrainian brigade. Ukrainian forces for weeks have had Robotyne under artillery fire control. But now they’ve had human spotters on the ground inside the city, meaning the artillery could get a lot more accurate. Expect Ukrainian operations around Robotyne to escalate in coming days. Maybe the 47th, 65th and 118th Mechanized Brigades drive at the city itself. Maybe they flank, bypass and cut off the city and its garrison. Either way, the long fight for Robotyne could culminate soon. The possible culmination comes at the same time the Ukrainian marine corps is moving on Urozhaine, a Russian strongpoint in the Mokri Yaly River Valley, 50 miles to the west of Robotyne. That valley is the gateway to Russian-occupied Mariupol, another top objective of Ukraine’s counteroffensive. If Ukrainian forces can liberate or bypass Robotyne and travel another 15 miles south along the T0408, they’ll reach Tokmak. Travel 30 miles farther, and they’ll arrive at Melitopol. Those 45 miles are daunting for the Ukrainians, to say the least. But an advance of 45 miles starts with a few hundred yards. And Ukrainian scouts already have taken those first steps.

euphronius posted:meanwhile over at the liberal mothership There are historians who write from that perspective. It can be fairly interesting: “There was nothing metaphysical or spiritual about the Hellenic hope, for nothing in their religion or philosophy offered that, as their sadly resigned sepulchral decorations and inscriptions testify. The Greeks' "shining wind" was not sent by God or dependent on His will; it was to be their own creation. The Jews might mourn the loss of their freedom, but they could live and grow without it. The Greeks of their golden age required freedom; without it they had nothing. Yet as the fifth century B.C. opened, they stood precariously on the leading edge of the vast domain of imperial Persia, within which the little Jewish community dwelt totally unknown to the Greeks.6 In 513 B.C. King Darius had personally led a major military expedition which secured the Straits the Hellespont (now the Dardanelles) and the Bosporus-separating Asia from Europe, and established Persian rule in eastern Thrace and along the coast of the Black Sea as far as the mouth of the Danube. He already ruled the numerous Greeks on the eastern shore of the Aegean.” … “It was the summer of 336 B . C . Alexander was twenty years old . The kings of Persia were falling by poison even as the king of Macedon and overlord of Greece fell by a dagger. The bonds of legitimacy and order were dissolving; the hope of Hellas was being drowned in endless internecine bloodshed; the great Plato was dead in near despair of the world, and the Chosen People in their closed society in Jerusalem were cut off from their fellow-men by the in visible walls that Ezra's teaching of the Law had raised once the material walls of Nehemiah were in place. The world seemed without direction or purpose. God's law benefitted only the few who knew it; the glory ofGod's gift ofreason was understood and celebrated only by a handful of little-noticed teachers and their students in the declining, no longer free cities of Greece.” “In just thirteen years that world was to be transformed as no single mortal man before or since has transformed it, united and ordered all the way from Greece to the shrouded heart of India, with Greek language and culture and learning and reason spreading all through that vast expanse, a whole new amalgamated civilization of West and Middle East created by a march across the world led by the greatest commander of this or any other age-a march of more than eleven thousand miles across some of the most forbidding terrain on earth, on which he won every one of the many battles he had to fight.” … “Nobody understands the romance of Rome, and why she rose afterwards to a representative leadership that seemed almost fated and fundamentally natural, who does not keep in mind the agony of horror and humiliation through which she had continued to testify to the sanity that is the soul of Europe. She came to stand alone in the midst of an empire because she had once stood alone in the midst of a ruin and a waste. After that all men knew in their hearts that she had been representative of mankind, even when she was rejected of men. And there fell on her the shadow from a shining and as yet invisible light and the burden of things to be. It is not for us to guess in what manner or moment the mercy of God migt., in any case have rescued the world; but it is certain that the struggle which established Christendom would have been very different if there had been an empire of Carthage instead of an empire of Rome. We have to thank the patience of the Punic wars if, in after ages, divine things descended at least upon human things and not inhuman. . . . If, after all these ages, we are in some sense at peace with paganism, and can think more kindly of our fathers, it is well to remember the things that were and the things that might have been. For this reason alone we can take lightly the load of antiquity and need not shudder at a nymph on a fountain or a cupid on a valentine. Laughter and sadness link us with things long passed away and remembered without dishonour; and we can see not altogether without tenderness the twilight sinking around the Sabine farm and hear the household gods rejoice when Catullus comes home to Sirmio. Deleta est Carthago.”

BearsBearsBears posted:I'm not sure your terminology is correct. Workers are proles and proles are workers, even if they're dutch. You're using proletariat to mean a class-conscious worker instead of any worker, something Marx didn't do. Marx even had the term lumpenproletariat for the class of proles that weren't class-conscious and never would be. This group is who the Black Panthers in the US made their base so Marx was probably wrong about that. The Marxist term for proles in the imperial core that align more with their empire than their class is the "labour aristocracy". Nowadays that's also used for highly paid wage workers, doctors and such. I know I'm a broken record on this, but that's specifically the Sakai-ite term. Although he deliberately presents his definition as Lenin's, gives it in place of Lenin's, his definition not only contradicts Lenin's in the specifics, but is used to draw diametrically opposed lessons for political work. "Neither we nor anyone else can calculate precisely what portion of the proletariat is following and will follow the social-chauvinists and opportunists. This will be revealed only by the struggle, it will be definitely decided only by the socialist revolution. But we know for certain that the “defenders of the fatherland” in the imperialist war represent only a minority. And it is therefore our duty, if we wish to remain socialists to go down lower and deeper, to the real masses; this is the whole meaning and the whole purport of the struggle against opportunism. By exposing the fact that the opportunists and social-chauvinists are in reality betraying and selling the interests of the masses, that they are defending the temporary privileges of a minority of the workers, that they are the vehicles of bourgeois ideas and influences, that they are really allies and agents of the bourgeoisie, we teach the masses to appreciate their true political interests, to fight for socialism and for the revolution through all the long and painful vicissitudes of imperialist wars and imperialist armistices."
