Russia - threadbanned users in OP

If he die's. then all hell will break loose in Russia. Russians will experience (albeit in a smaller fashion) what ordinary Ukrainians have been going through since Feb2922. The other alternative will be if he is deposed, and a seamless power transfer takes place. But I can't see that happening TBH.

Looks like someone agrees with me:

If/when that happens, and Russia are crying about it, hopefully the rest of the international community can give them the diplomatic equivalent of a wink and shít-eating grin and say, "Well, lads.... might is right!"

That's what I'm thinking,it makes no sense trying to hold it indefinitely yes it's a meat grinder for the Russians but it's also a meat grinder for Ukrainians too ,they are suffering losses too , one of the hospitals treating Ukrainians said they were struggling with the number of casualties coming through their doors 24/7 ,

We get 10-1 losses bandied around but the fact of the matter Ukrainians are dieing in their thousands just as the Russians are

Smear tactics? 😂 Some of the pro orc stuff here is absolutely shameless. It naturally gets called out very quickly and rightfully so.

Any thoughts on the leaks from the Pentagon that provided information on Ukraines counter?

Russia licking their lips.

I wonder is this a combination of holding shells for the counter offensive or literally running out of shells.

Licking their lips? Is this the same Russia who has stalled for months, even in their own offensive efforts? I think it is. What have they got to lick their lips about? Clearly they are not the apex predators they thought themselves to be.

If Russia hasn't got the resources to deal with what Ukraine might throw at them in a counteroffensive, then having advance information of it doesn't amount to a whole lot on the ground. If it's all part of misinformation tactics, which are rife in war, then it's just another day.

The fact that it's been leaked to public information channels would suggest to me that it's part of an effort to make Ukraine stall their own planned offensive.

Dramatic

Is there even any point, countless conflicts, including the First World War in 1918, show us that extensive trenches and defensive belts for vast tracts are completely obsolete.

That's extremely unlikely to be a defensive trench. The only reason to dig a continuous 70km long trench is to lay a pipe. Defensive trenches aren't dug in straight lines. But typical twitter - everyone concludes that the Russians, unlike the rest of us, are too stupid to know otherwise!

The orcs have went from Kyiv in 3 days to barely clinging onto occupied territories by the skin of their teeth.

It's amazing that many here still have so much respect for them as a fighting force.

Just shows how much they still operating in a different century militarily, Chechnya was a prime example they struggled against locals until they used their airforce to bomb civilians cities and towns back to the Stone age, which brought the population back to rule,this is what they they thought would happen in Ukraine,take out the government and the military will fold under over whelming firepower from land and air ,

Only they didn't expect a full on cage fight without their aircover they can't move large numbers of men and vehicles nor where they expecting that the international community in Europe would grow a pair of testicles and finally stand up to Putin and support ukraine with weapons and equipment

WTF...

I think he's out of vodka and after finding a bottle of turps...

One of the most unhinged things I've ever read.
