speng31b posted:you know what happens to the character of Boromir...right? also Tolkien wrote that they were only able to retake osgiliath because Boromir was an idiot who fell for a feint attack to distract from what was going on in the main plot. The whole point of that thing was to show that Boromir was a shortsighted dumbass focused on hollow self important victories and not the important stuff the orcs . . . the orcs did a feint?!!

sum posted:It's hilarious that the US has literally thousands of surplus Bradleys and Abramses just sitting around in the desert and they're scraping the bottom of the barrel for anything else to send because they don't want to hurt sales the idea that the us isnt sending bradleys or abramses because it would "hurt sales" if they got blown up in ukraine is nonsense imo. nobody buys bradleys anyways, and saudi and iraqi m1s getting clowned on hasnt hurt m1 sales.

Frosted Flake posted:It’s harebrained in the extreme. We had war plans to fight our way into Quebec to protect the Anglos in the 70’s, and then allegedly plans to storm the bases during the referendums, the UK had plans to invade the Irish Republic should the IRA overwhelm them in the 80’s, and here’s Russia puttering around. this is why i dont believe any of the stuff about nato expansionism being the cause of the war anymore tbh If this was actually an existential struggle for russia where they thought NATO was knocking on the door and gonna try to make russia effectively another american satellite state. . . And this is their response? Half assed invasion, slow grinding battle in donbass going nowhere, then end up abandoning hundreds of thousands of people to supposedly genocidal nazi maniacs? The second major retreat and loss of land in just a couple of months? If this war was actually existential then they would have mobilized before the invasion. They didnt, because they dont even believe it. More likely to me that russia just wanted more of their own satellite states and thought ukraine would be easy pickings after 2014

Frosted Flake posted:It’s not Ukraine’s resources mobilizing but the US and EU, certainly by now, so to answer your question “proxy” i dont think this answers it and heres why, op said neoliberal states couldnt demand sacrifices from the people, hence why the usa suffered manpower issues in iraq and now russia in ukraine. yet as many here including you have personally noted in the past, the ukrainians are willing to making shocking sacrifices for victory considering that for much of this war, their primary advantage has been their manpower -- conscripted -- being sent against the jaws of russian artillery they are certainly willing to demand extensive hardship and sacrifice from the people for the sake of the nation.

i dunno if they woulda annexed all ukraine but they obviously wanted some chunks of it given that they formally annexed territory beyond lpr and dpr territory. i dont think its a stretch to say that the russians would have wanted to take more if they had the means to do so and they certainly wanted some regime change that would have made ukraine a close satellite of russia

Hatebag posted:How far away from kherson are the russians retreating? That whole region looks like nothing but swamps and farms so it seems hard to defend. Are they just digging in along the east bank of the dneiper or are they pulling out of the whole province or just falling back to nova kakhova? https://twitter.com/Tendar/status/1591004160954359809?t=Xt_g23seldesC52vqaYuRQ&s=19

genericnick posted:But also none of that poo poo really affects Russia's ability to wage war in any critical sense. Sure they're not winning, but is there any way for Ukraine to make them accept a loss? I dont think so but if neither side has the ability or will to achieve a decisive result buy also doesnt want to make peace, it can just become a frozen conflict wherever they reach an equilibrium. Maybe rockets and artillery will keep flying over the border and there will still be fighting but not as much -- like how Donbas was before the invasion Maybe ukraine ends up taking back everything but crimea and seperatist republics and can go no further because the russians will fight harder for territory they actually believe is theirs. And then we're right back to where we were in february 2022

Conspiratiorist posted:they encircled kiev while their guns pinned and pounded the professional afu in the east and could've taken the city but the kremlin wanted to avoid a bloodbath they certainly didnt try to avoid a bloodbath in mariupol, so i think the idea that the russians were being nice in kyiv or w.e doesnt make much sense they just didnt bring enough people or guns for kyiv, there is no way they could have taken kyiv with the forces allocated to kyiv
