The takeaway is that Yanukovych quietly dropped the NATO ambitions to appease Russia, and then Putin said "by the way, joining the EU isn't ok either." The people who never fail to point out how "democratically elected" Yanukovych was have all conveniently memory-holed that he ran on a pro-EU platform in 2010, but did a 180 due to Russian pressure and bribery in 2013, at the last minute after years of negotiating with the EU.

steinrokkan posted:If it was an UA drone, it actually makes perfect sense. They wouldn't want to actually hit Kremlin due to backlash, red lines, whatever; but blowing up the Russian flag on top of the symbol of state power while causing no collateral damage? That's a different matter entirely, and a powerful symbolic message. As well as undeniable because somebody is always watching the Kremlin. https://twitter.com/APHClarkson/status/1653752821395628032?s=20

Der Kyhe posted:Yeah about that "same thing again": It's not overlooked in pro-Russian circles. "Ukraine hugely increased the shelling of Donbas, in three days they'd have crossed the border with this stuff, Russia had no choice but to attack them preemptively, here look at this OSCE proof!" is still a recurring talking point of Kremlin shills.

Roblo posted:That fits with my relatively limited knowledge of dams too. That said it was damaged due to shelling (I believe) so isn't exactly a normal dam failure situation. Is it normal practice that the same two sluice gates are left open for months on end, and if not, what would the detrimental effects of that be? Is there any way to square this kind of neglect with the damage we've seen?

NihilCredo posted:Lmao goddammit It's all good. I was just too lazy to poke holes into the shoddy reasoning of his article itself, when I could just let his tweets demonstrate where he's coming from. Plenty more  there, if you want to go digging. It's one thing to have a hunch about NS, but if you're pretending to be some security/foreign policy big brain academic, you better have some very good arguments why the Biden administration, which has been consistently erring on the side of caution when it comes to escalation management throughout this war, compared to states like the UK, Poland or the Baltics, let alone Ukraine itself, would be the one to recklessly and needlessly escalate in such a dramatic fashion, for pathetically minor benefits compared to the risks involved. But to return to that article, just briefly: quote:After more than a month of carnage, the long-awaited Ukrainian counter-offensive south of Zaporozhe looks to be going nowhere. Mired in dense thickets of physical obstacles and minefields, and unable to manoeuvre while lacking adequate protection from the air, Western-supplied Ukrainian armour is being picked off en masse by unsuppressed Russian anti-tank weapons and their infantry shredded by massive and well-directed artillery fire. So sure, it's obvious by now that the Ukrainian plan A was a failure. But he's completely oblivious that they've changed tacks pretty soon after that. He's talking about a completely one-sided slaughter and more than 700 Ukrainian casualties per day here, which is either a complete asspull, or an embrace of Russian propaganda accounts. No one has enough insight into the attrition on both sides to make such sweeping statements right now and be taken seriously. quote:The fact is that Western military science, which has not been tested against a peer enemy in more than a generation, has got a major development in warfare seriously wrong, radically overestimating the power of offensive manoeuvre by highly mobile, digitally-networked forces that are relatively light, highly expensive, and in short supply—a ‘basket’ in which it has invested all its metaphorical ‘eggs’. Like everyone else has already pointed out, by expanding from Ukraine's concrete situation in order to generalize about "Western military science", all the while inconspicuously ignoring Western, i.e. US air power, he shoots any valid arguments he might've had in the foot. quote:Eventually, though, reality trumps wishful thinking and it is doing so now increasingly obviously on the Russian steppe. I'm sure that's just an innocent mistake.

CommieGIR posted:How can this even remotely be true? https://twitter.com/Volodymyr_D_/status/1724037799832113235 Russia is refurbishing its Soviet stocks, while easily supplied Western (European) equipment is growing short - "the bottom of the barrel is now visible" - and production still has not been ramped up to match or exceed Russia's. Ukraine also has problems dealing with Lancets and Russian EW, and the Lancets are getting improved with longer range and better penetration. Russia may not innovate as quickly, but they're set up to mass produce the things that are proven to work.
