Of course not. Matter fact I’ve been one of the more level headed posters in this thread not jumping for joy at every piece of propaganda
But facts are facts. Russians are raining artillery non stop. I have several telegram channels for both sides I’d be more than happy to share.
Momentum is momentum brother. Ukraine had 8 years and the backing of NATO to prepare a lot of these defenses and they’re falling rapidly. Doesn’t mean that Ukraine is out the game for sure, but they’re losing a lot of experienced soldiers and equipment, both of which aren’t getting replaced fast enough
“facts” are useless without context. And are can be used to pull the emotional heartstrings of those who have their mind set one thing. Hamburger hill was viewed as a victory and turning point. It meant nothing in the larger scheme. People said “but we won at Ap Bia, how is the war still going on?”. The original Tet offensive was viewed as a Vietnamese victory but their forces, a combination of NVA/Vietcong/Chinese were almost completely destroyed. People were saying “it’s all over, Tet was loud”.
You have an extremely skewed and incorrect view of what happened the last 8 years. NATO had and wanted nothing to do with helping Ukraine until a US president, with just enough audacity to call Putin on his bluff; was in office.
Fact is your mindset and unwillingness to unlearn myths about Russian “strength” would have you calling for an end to the entire Allied Europe offensive because Germany pushed their shyt in at North Africa. You would have called it quits when you saw an Italian/German video compilation of of the 36th infantry division failing to cross the wrong river and having to 2 of its regiments washed, or 3rd ID being trapped on the beach under Monte Cassino. What about market Garden or the Ardennes and Belgium?
Russia struggling for over a month to take a few miles while Ukraine is pushing 25-30 elsewhere isn’t winning momentum. It’s just like I said before, they’re robbed their southern defense to take a city that won’t help them take anything in the north or east. Now they’re going to have to thin that defense or further offense (if they decide to try to keep pushing across open ground) to contain the losses they’re taking elsewhere, like the south.
You talk about levelheadedness but ignored the rest of the country to say severodonetsk and Lysychansk are going to finish things. I keep asking several posters how big they think Ukraine is hoping they’d look at the scale of it vs the forces fighting in it.
Oh no not the academy lololol. Where did you fight?
