This seems like a wunderwaffen propaganda narrative, just like the Javelins that will end the war. Ukraine is failing. All of its major offensives have failed. It will continue to fail as the Gazan conflict has soaked up its primary source of armaments. Russia is not a competent state. It's rife with corruption and skimming that will make the response to this heavily delayed. But what the article neglects to mention…

Some of us still recall Russia hastily retreat from the north and North East of Ukraine because it failed to consider the effectiveness of Ukraine's defensise strategy, which owe much to the inflow of weapons like the Javelin. > Ukraine is fa…

This is one of those things that I have wondered as a commoner who doesn’t have much clue about defense systems or war strategies..

War is run bureaucratically and with political aims in mind, so it doesn't proceed with the efficiency you might be able to apply to a chess match or a video game.

They don't want to commit…

> What a weird definition of failing. > I wonder if you call Russia's invasion of Ukraine a success. Ukraine already lost 20% of its territory, territory it won't get back and hundreds of thousands of its men with nothing to show for it other than wreckage and devastation. More territorial losses are possible in the coming year. The after-effects will be present for decades to come turning Ukraine into a failed state…
