They could try surrendering lol. Russia has been pretty kind considering Ukraine keeps committing terrorist attacks against Russia.
I mean that’s clearly the only sensible option at this point, but that would mean a political disaster for the west and for the Ukrainian regime.
I keep telling them but they won’t listen. Let Poland invade Ukraine and annex the west. Any Russian remaining in the annexed territory is an automatic Article 5. They need to promote me to general already
While it has begun slowly to adapt, Ukraine’s military is still deeply rooted in Soviet-era offensive tactics and culture, centralizing decision-making at the top while penalizing subordinate soldiers who dare to deviate from the plan.
“Ukraine’s losing cuz communism!”
lol
That’s the eastern Europe for you. In postsocialist countries, even after over 30 years of the destruction of socialism, literally every failure gets blamed on socialism.
Isn’t Russia deeply rooted in Soviet tactics too?
Like, that can’t be the issue if they’re both using them.
When the propaganda was still “Ruzzia is losing hard” of course they blame said losing on “being rooted in Soviet era” and Ukraine winning on NATO training and equipment. I bet we will soon read some galaxy brain claiming “Russia learned from NATO while Ukraine didn’t” because of course NATO is when winning.
Beebe is director of grand strategy at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and a former director of Russia analysis at the CIA. Webb is an advocacy associate at Quincy and a former Marine Corps infantryman with combat service in Iraq
Wtf is a “director of grand strategy” or an “advocacy associate”? (Propagandists?)
Director of grand strategy is someone who is really good at hearts of iron iv.
Fucking minmaxers
@yogthos Idgaf about any of this anymore. Another failed proxy war that cost Ukrainians and Americans everything, and given us nothing in return. Oh, and BTW the reason why Russia bombed Ukraine, was because Ukraine back in 2014 was literally shelling tf out of the Donbass region a heavily russian populated region in the country.
The whole thing is an insanity, and yet the west just keeps doubling down on this because they see Ukrainian lives as cheap and western leaders don’t care about the suffering their own people are now experiencing.
How real are the claims that the Russian military is struggling/Putin is under threat from within? I’m assuming they are largely overblown in western media. Do they exist at all or is it a complete fabrication?
There are certainly no visible signs of that so far, and given how Prigo “coup” went I think it’s pretty safe to say that there no actual instability within. Literally everybody in the government or the military immediately pledged support to the government. If there were any dissent before that, it’s most definitely been rooted out after.
“For your failed military excursions.”
I think that the clear case to advocate for abortion instead.
