They all must have had heart attacks while walking towards Kharkov with zero resistance:




Man you guys believe anything Ukraine tells you without questioning it don’t you? In two days, Russia took more territory than Ukraine did in all of 2023. And here I was thinking Russia goal was just to create a buffer zone with this new offensive. Due to zero defensive lines around Kharkov, they may just take the entire city at some point.
Just to be clear what percentage of territory is Russia at as compared to what they took with the initial full scale invasion?

I hope someday soon, Orc, you get to learn first hand what a grey zone is. It appears you need some boots on the ground experience of what it means to walk between defensive positions. And an extra lesson in why you do not place them in the low ground, or immediately in front of the enemy. I expect you will find out after all, Vlad the Butcher is killing the most Russians since Stalin and he needs more meat.

It would be a nice learning experience for our resident orc to go contribute more directly to the war he loves so much.

What about it, @Young Grasshopper ? The motherland needs you!

Main Ukrainian defensive lines are substantially back from the Russian border because they could not be constructed closer. There are still some defenses in this area and the TDF should have done a much better job. RU sent people on foot because they know that area is full of AT mines. Ukraine should withdraw from the Ottawa Treaty and make/obtain anti-personnel mines to deploy on their frontier with Russia/Belarus.

So many high ranking russian military members are getting smoked so they started using their medals as a personal cope cage.

He's hoping those medals make him too heavy to throw out a window.

With Russia expanding the frontline and threatening Ukraine's second largest city,
NATO member Estonia believes it may be time to send in military forces to secure western Ukraine, so that the Ukrainians are more free to fight in the east.

Estonia ‘seriously’ discussing sending troops to ‘rear’ jobs in Ukraine: Official

It actually gives Putin an out. If Estonia goes in, Poland and France probably will as well. And then Putin can claim that Russia was fighting NATO the whole time, and despite this they have still cleared Ukraine of most of the Nazi affiliated military forces.

Mission accomplished!

Losses of Crimea and the Donbas is a heavy loss, but the prize of no more Nazi's in Ukraine is an acceptable outcome.

Ehh... I'm daydreaming...

Or Putin has another calculus. He was betting on western countries to lose appetite as the war dragged on right? Suppose European NATO countries actually began committing boots to the ground, to the front and losses begin ticking in... I wonder what kind of appetite we will have then. We cant throw meat at it like Putin is doing that is for sure.

There would be losses, but they would be limited since air superiority would be established very quickly and after that the Russian front lines would begin to crumble. With Western air superiority, Russia would simply be unable to have effectual logistics.
