Are they going to officially restart the international slave trade, or just start raiding coast lines?

Maybe Belarus should start their own sideshow and attack a NATO country to see what happens.

There was apparently a gently caress up at Ocheretyne north west of Avdiivka. Apparently a UA brigade pulled back and their relief brigade never showed leaving an opening the Russians ended up pushing through. This may throw the Ukrainian line into retreat further south.

Seems like a really basic mistake. An entire brigade just "oops forgot" that part of the line. Certainly possible Occam's razor and all. Or if you want the CIA warlock tower psyop version, opening a part of the line and letting the Russians stick their necks out as the new gear arrives seems like you might sucker them into over extending. Ukraine has become quite deft at the soft fallback ambush. Risky but potentially rewarding. Putin is a real piece of poo poo.

This isn’t 10-dimensional chess, it’s the kind of thing that happens when an organization of any kind is under enormous pressure and lacks resources: things start falling through the cracks, and the worse the pressure gets, the bigger those cracks become. It’s a warning sign that needs to be taken very, very seriously by every nation that claims to support Ukraine. Get your poo poo together and locate your backbones, western governments.

Russia is close to winning through sheer numbers and disregard for human life on a massive scale. Ukraine aren't invincible superheroes, they're just a people trying not to get exterminated.

By "close to winning" I meant that if the aid package hadn't gone through and nobody from the EU picked up the slack there was a good chance Ukraine would've lost by the end of the year.

Sacrificing hundreds of thousands of the people you claim to protect in order to bolster your dwindling population via forced assimilation, ruining two economies with one SMO is certainly a winning move.

Runa posted:By "close to winning" I meant that if the aid package hadn't gone through and nobody from the EU picked up the slack there was a good chance Ukraine would've lost by the end of the year. I see. I don't necessarily agree with your "end of the year" assessment but I agree that stalling aid for six month has had a clear impact on the war, allowing Russia to retake the initiative (because Ukraine was unable to hit staging areas and forces concentrations due to lack of ammunition). I think they could hold out for a while longer, and with Russia making advances Putin would definitely not be incentivized to agree to a ceasefire. The EU did thankfully pick up some of the slack by way of Czechia "finding" close to a million artillery shells, and later Estonia iirc, but as to what has been actually delivered to date it's unknown but probably a lot less. The EU simply isn't capable to support Ukraine's war effort by itself. It doesn't have the industrial capacity, at least not yet. (And it's gonna take a long time to get there.) One thing I do wholeheartedly agree with is your point about Ukraine not being invincible superheroes. There's a bit too much of "10.000 IQ Ukraine outmaneuvers dumb Russia in a 10d chess move" posting going on sometimes. They're determined and smart, but outnumbered and outgunned; and definitely not super human.

It's less that Ukraine is playing 10d chess and more that Russia keeps rolling natural 1s. It's difficult to not look competent fighting the second army of the world.

Solovyov and his show guests all seem obsessed with being able to nuke Berlin/Helsinki/Paris/London in ninety seconds. Moving a missile a thousand miles closer to shave of 30 seconds of flight time makes perfect sense.

CommieGIR posted:And given even Russia's successful advances only gain them mere meters, it'd take them years to reach Kyiv. It doesn't usually look like that for long unfortunately. If you are continuously making advances in the meters, it's usually a sign that your adversary is losing resources and those meters will soon turn into km. At some point the front collapses and you can roll in as fast as your logistics allow. Sure Ukraine is rolling back slowly and inflicting tremendous casualties on Russia, but Russia still appears to be ok with that trade. Ukraine is somewhat lucky that Russian logistics are so poor and they can't exploit the situation to its fullest.

Russia is okay with doing that trade because they are not actually doing great strategically in the region - I wouldn't pretend that somehow its ok because they think it'll result in a win - they have thrown an immense amount of resources and manpower into an effective grinder that is not resulting in equal results. And while logistics is one major issue with Russia's advance, the other is there is no real strategy other than throwing men and materials into a slaughterhouse. That's not a winning combo even if it gains you some.

Sometimes I just wish NATO would put troops on the ground in Ukraine and dare Russia to do something about it. Just like a thousand Swedish marines landed in Odessa, frothing at the mouth and looking for a do-over of Poltava.
