Welcome back thread. You’re not wrong about that QCS thread. It goes places. I’m not sure how much longer spaces that look at the war in a nuanced skeptical way are going to last on any English language platform, that’s hardly SA specific. There’s a certain dogged moral certainty that has overtaken pretty much everyone. It’s almost been remarkable to watch it develop in real time

I really don’t think it helps at all that most of the higher profile voices in opposition to US involvement have been MAGA types

The CPC letter and the push to deplatform BJG are other examples. It’s wild out there

i do think the vitriol of the pro-ukrainian side is largely confined to social media. no one in DC* seems to talk or care about the war at all anymore

Wow, stunning. Let's look at some flights into Rzeszow from today!

The AZgeopolitics account is counting on people ignorant of the fact that the majority of flights into and out of Rzeszow Jasionka Airport are commercial airliners like RyanAIR and LOT air and other commercial people and cargo movers land and take off from Rzeszow, Poland.



No one is supporting Ukraine with as many flights of supplies as depicted by the AZ account; that's one of Zelensky's frustrations!

you’re comparing apples to oranges lol. the tweet image is flights over the period of a month not a day or two

I’m just slightly surprised people can’t look at a map of civil air traffic to include flights from non-NATO countries and then figure out the account is trying to dupe them.

is it civil air traffic though? given the tweet says NATO flights and is over a month why can’t the lines be military flights only

lol all russia's penny packet war has managed to do is awaken a sleeping enemy and fill him with a terrible resolve. ukraine is just going to keep hammering at the occupied territories with its 3+:1 advantage because russia is incapable of actually fielding an appropriate sized force now that ukraine has fully mobilized

Ardennes posted:

Russia is capable of fielding such a force… it is already supposedly through training, the question is if they would actually want to use it versus a determined enemy.

my understanding is that to get the actually amount of men they need requires either modifying mobilization/war laws or escalating to being an actual war rather than SMO which no one seems to want to do

Ardennes posted:

With the number of men they claimed to have mobilized (300,000+) they probably could gain the initiative but they would have to use them in a conventional role. The SMO thing does limit them using the conscripts from yearly call ups but they also need some type of force to guard their other borders (they literally can’t throw their entire army at Ukraine.)

It would take a radical change in the way they have been doing things since they would have to take and hold territory and push assaults etc.

unless they're going to throw all 300k is an massive armored thrust to encircle and destroy the UFA in the donbas, they're going to need way more men

Where are the conscripts or everything is just in a holding pattern due to winter?

the holding pattern is when the conscripts actually show up to the critically undermanned front. ukraine is probably redeploying to zaporizihia or Donetsk than trying to force a crossing around Kherson

Yeah, while Russia has been doing very poorly, the flip side is that Ukraine has also been hemorrhaging lives for the better part of a year and Russia still holds large swathes of their territory.

There isn't really any side that is "owning" the other here.

yeah but ukraine actually has the numbers to pummel away at and push back Russian forces while Russia just sits there. Russia will exit the war with less dead but that’s all they’re going to get out of this
