This was expected, just its taking longer than expected to break through. The slow pace is likely meaning the Russian are re-mining as they fall back. I think many analysts expected a heavier breakthrough. Carried away with how "the west" would do it having fought for ages, potentially, for air supremacy.
...

No one knows for sure (outside those who really know) but the majority of the analysis shows Russias capabilities being constantly reduced. Well trained and professional troops being heavily worn down. (Stuff like VDV being sent into defending trenches to hold lines), older and older equipment showing up at the front lines. The trainers as well in many cases being sent to fight themselves. Training ranges having no ammo, etc etc.
Whilst Ukraine is constantly being refreshed with more equipment, better equipment. Their troops are mainly getting training in places with the best forces in the world. Whilst that training is only basic its better than the conscripted Russians are getting.

Your not wrong in that its a massive and terrible waste of human life. You are wrong if you think its possible to negotiate in good faith with Putin, a perpetual liar with no regard for the international law, or good moral compass.

Good post.

The Ukrainian counter-offensive was always likely to be slow and difficult- if there's one thing Russia is good at, it's soaking up pain.

Many people have unrealistic expectations and you can see these people constantly reaching for the next wonder weapon which will end this tomorrow.

The key things now are patience, and continued international interest and support.
 
Hopefully the west shakes it's head , especially if Russia does mobilise another 400k, Ukraine needs more modern armour and long range strike weapons asap.

The group think in here is absolutely mental. You all believe Ukraine are winning a war when there's graph showing that year to date they've retaken the same amount of land they lost earlier in the year. So tens of thousands of dead young men amounting to a net gain in land of zero


But I'm spreading misinformation lmao

300km squared recaptured and 400 contested is an impressive territory considering the amount of men, materiel and fortified position the Ukrainians are up against. Seeing as the Russians are being pushed back day by day and the Ukrainians are taking significantly less losses I think it’s safe to assume the Ukrainians are winning.

Vladolf can withdraw at anytime. No one is forcing Putler to continue with his asinine war.
 
Congress has called for an investigation in the event where Elon Musk turned off starlink to the Ukranians in order to save the Black Sea fleet from attack. Elon claims he did this to protect America, he says if Ukraine attacks Russia using starlink then Putin will nuke America


Congress has called for an investigation to ensure that US foreign policy is carried out by the government, not a ceo of a private company.


Musk is not happy, he's been crying the whole day on Twitter and telling people he loves America, and that what he did, he did because he loves America, not because he is a traitor who carried out treason

 
the leave it for the democratically elected… even if they’re idiots (then they need to think it was their idea).

Issue is having a private company independently operating on the battlefield is a risk.. Putin found that out..
 
Stalemate winter -

Ukraine Airpower will be more up and ready for spring 2024...Orcs lose more stolen land, End of conflict spring/summer 2025 (unless Putin gets a dodgy cup of radioactive TEA or a loose Window)

I do wonder what, if anything, the Russians have on Elon?
Outset of the invasion was fully in Ukraines corner, had meetings with Zelensky, supplied star link etc etc.
Then a more less about face with mumblings of ‘but nukes’, parroting the Kremlin threats and those of useful idiots.

Stopping and (at best unintentionally, at worst intentionally) forewarning the Russians of this Ukrainian capability has directly aided Russias military more than almost any other external help they’ve gotten aside Iran!
 
Might be something as simple of warning him not to stand next to an open window. It was easy for him to jump onto the support Ukraine band wagon to get some publicity when there was no risk to him, one quick call to his security team later and all of a sudden the reality of dealing with a mafia state becomes a bit more real.

They are right, US foreign policy should be carried out by the US government using their own property, expecting a private company to assist in killing soldiers of a foreign nation is absurd.
 
I don't think the Russians have Elon in their pocket, I merely think he's trying to play a certain character, of not get involved in war. Whether that's right or wrong is upto us.

Personally I think his moral compass needs some adjustment.

Edit: as someone else mentioned a few days ago, it might just be a ploy to get gov contracts in place, so he makes REAL money of this, rather than just civilian money.
