I know; that was a big mistake. We wouldn't be in the position we're in today if we had taken a firmer stance in 2014. So we're paying the price now. If we don't, we'll be having this same conversation when Russia takes back Latvia and invades Poland.
Russian terrorists are making small gains around Bakhmut. Ukraine will get new missiles next year. With a longer range than the HIMARS, the new missiles can hit targets 100 miles away.
Kind of long, of course...but if one wants a really detailed analysis of the war, from before the beginning to the middle of October (breaks down all the mistakes that Russia has made thus far)...this is it:
Russian forces made marginal gains around Bakhmut on November 29, but Russian forces remain unlikely to have advanced at the tempo that Russian sources claimed. Geolocated footage shows that Russian forces made marginal advances southeast of Bakhmut but ISW remains unable to confirm most other claimed gains around Bakhmut made since November 27. Some Russian milbloggers made unsubstantiated claims that Russian forces broke through the Ukrainian defensive line south of Bakhmut along the T0513 highway to advance towards Chasiv Yar, which would cut one of two remaining main Ukrainian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) to Bakhmut, but such claims are likely part of a continuing Russian information operation and are premature, as ISW has previously assessed. ISW continues to assess that the degraded Russian forces around Bakhmut are unlikely to place Bakhmut under threat of imminent encirclement rapidly.
You know one day Bakhmut could have a slight possibility of falling...and it will be of no military significance.
If Russia succeeds in Ukraine it seems to me there next target would be Kazakhstan. Then Turkmenistan, giving them a border with Iran.
But who wants to find out?........ Destroy Russia now, while it can be done.

Well the Russians got driven back completely from the gains they had several weeks ago. Maybe they are starting to gain back what they lost in the last few weeks. Both sides were saying they were in part of the city, but the maps showed them a couple of days ago completely out.

Exactly if Russia gets away with this, historians will look back on this as the chance the western world had to defend freedom and blew it. It's now or never.
Clearly a bad translation. Probably about 100,000 total Ukrainian military personnel have been killed. But the Ukraine is not reporting any numbers, so there is no way to know the exact numbers.
