Hey everyone. Please read the rules in the OP.

Main rules:

1. Bloodthirst/War Porn: Reveling in the death/misfortune of soldiers or civilians is explicitly and definitively punishable by probation or ban. Please remember that it's human beings on both sides of this conflict. War is not good and people getting hurt and dying is not good, even if it's people we don't like. Don't wish death on people, wish for Russia to pack up its poo poo and go home and work backwards from there. Horndogging for war materiel is weird, don't do it. You've been warned.

This infers that Ukraine would be doing something that would cause Russia to need to leave, like using weaponry against human beings originated from Russia. That seems pretty bloodlusty. Can the OP please tone it down a bit?

You have to be very respectful when discussing russian conscripts raping and murdering ukrainian civilians and dumping their bodies in mass graves

They didn't want to be there, raping and looting and murdering civilians. They were FORCED to. So have some empathy!

Yes but have you weighed which is more evil, russia trying to liberate ukraine from nazis or the Japanese helping the nazis and creating the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere?? I'm just asking questions and seeking genuine, honest answers, with no ulterior motives other than promoting the end to all wars.

No one really knows why Bakhmut has ended up the way it is. Pretty sure even Ukraine were probably scratching their heads as to why Russia went all in on it. A line has to be drawn somewhere and Russia decided to draw the line instead for Ukraine. It's an absolute stupid waste of life but in the eyes of Ukraine generals, never stop your enemy when he is making a mistake. In this case a loving poo poo load of them.

The counter argument was that the months-long tactical blunder of killing off your own troops by attacking well entrenched defenses was part of a larger strategic vision to hinder any potential Ukrainian advances and stall out western support. The loss of rank and file infantry would be worth it, were that the case. Take bakhmut, western support dwindles, and Ukraine is forced to accept a white peace of sorts.

Instead, it's now both a tactical AND strategic blunder that will be one more lesson learned about the effects of terrible leadership and misplaced priorities in the warfighting environment.

I increasingly feel like the desperation to take Bakhmut is so they can claim they did something for wasting a loving year, and then "tactically withdrawing" all the way to Belgorod, while claiming they are the Victor.

They need something at least mildly tangible for the propaganda back home.

The most fought over Rubble Pile

Don't forget the "while scattering landmines, and glowing rocks they stole from zaporizhzhia NPP along every inch of land on their way out" part of the withdrawal, they gotta make sure the world knows how not pissy they are about it.

Ukranian soldiers have parents and sometimes wives and children. They are also soldiers.

If they die in war people know.

You can count them.

There's some unfortunate weird loner shut-in erasure happening in that post, tsk tsk. When the top secret NATO advisors scattered throughout Ukraine go and get private pylovskyy KIAed they just burn the body and go "shhhh" to everyone else because of nefarious reasons I refuse to go into.

Is that unusual in Russia? In the states bomb threats are like fire drills, just something that happens occasionally that nobody really takes too seriously

Nobody cares if it's a pipe bomb. If it's a smoking pipe, they shut down everything.

So does this mean the DSA may have been partially funded by Russia? Or is it an (un)happy accident that things aligned this way.

Nah, it's just a bunch of landlords cosplaying as radicals. It's not the NRA, they don't actually have the business acumen to get fat stacks.
