when pooty came in, in that infamous 40 mile long convoy that all got stuck, they all had their parade uniforms in the vehicles..they traded them in for coffins..
There is no Russian offensive as of now. All RAF is doing is swinging the front line and butter spreading AFU reserves along the contact line. Real offensive should come towards late May/mid-June.
Correct. I merely put in the title used by ISW. Yes, definitely there is no real offensive yet, which will most likely start in the timeframe that you specified.
There is A LOT of gamewords tossed around as that war is mainly a media war. Every bush taken by AFU is glorious victory and every 5 meters advancement is breakthrough for both sides.
RAF is - finally - back to the times tested books and does perfectly fine, proven, positional warfare front swinging. French were the first one to come up with this tactic back in the WW1 but, it's only tactic.
Yes, I think Russia assumed Ukraine would accept the peace deal once tanks rolled across the border and allegedly Ukraine was about to until the West talked them out of it.
There's only one deal now:
1. unconditional surrender
2. provisional government under Russian protectorate
3. NATO/US moves all of its stuff back to 1991 deployment.

That's the point I challenge. "The west talked them out of it" is the talking point everyone uses. Who in "the west" talked to "who" in Ukraine?
And why would Ukraine entertain such an insanely lopsided deal, which only insures their destruction at a later date because they have agreed to stay weak against an enemy who has already violated the last agreement!?
It was crazy. And it arranged for Russia to defeat Ukraine later. So I don't think "the west" needed to talk anyone out of rejecting that deal.

NATO back to 1991 ....
Only deal is Russia goes "back to where they belong"....
Only deal is Russia goes "back to where they belong"....
Unlikely to happen as Russia is pushing back the Ukrainians hard. There will be no negotiations and no deals, except unconditional surrender from the Ukrainians.
Only deal is Russia goes "back to where they belong"....
Love those posts.
Circle back in about 3-5 years. Aight?
PS. It reminds me of an old joke, circulating in Ukraine.
Two nationalists meet in the morning, and one says - Hey, I had a strange dream! I'm in a field, with machine gun, and Russians attack me, and I shoot, and shoot and shoot... killed a million of them!
Oh, c'mon, not a million!
Well, ten thousand for sure!
Oh, c'mon, not ten thousand!
Well, maybe none, but I hate them so much, I hate them so much!
Point being - it's completely irrational hatred to some other nations, that causes posts like the one I responded to.
