December 24: Bakhmut is about to fall

[unhonestlymirror]

Russians not realising what is wrong with that comic is actually a very good proof that they don't care about Ukraine. The only thing they care about is how to make themselves look clean and caring about Ukraine. And when Ukrainians tell them straightforwardly how they should behave if they want Ukrainians to be neutral about them, at least, they start finding excuses. "Why are you attacking? It's just a funny comic in which Big Brother Russia protects poor Ukraine from Poland" - Bucha, Mariupol, Irpin, Bachmut, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, occupied Zaporizhzhian NPP, destroyed Kahovska dam, 500 hundred Ukrainian children killed by russians OFFICIALLY ONLY, is this a good answer for you? Go scroll through the tag "genocide of Ukrainians" - and you will find out why this comic is disgusting.

Re the state of the war in Ukraine right now, asking here to get a fairly unbiased opinion on a bunch of conflicting information the media right now. What’s happening with Bachmut? Some were saying that it was inevitable it would fall but it’s looked to me like Russia has paid a lot but gained very little for an asset whose strategic value is tenuous enough as is in the broader strategic perspective of the whole war. Further, it’s seemed to me like the Ukrainian counterattack should cut through the Russian army which seems overstretched, poorly manned, and low on morale when Ukraine gets all of its top-of-the-line western donated weapons in order which has potential to win back all the territory they’ve lost. In the leaked Pentagon files it said Western military brass seriously doubts Ukraine’s ability to take back any kind of considerable territory but they critically underestimated Ukraine’s military capability upon the outbreak of the war and, for whatever its worth, it seems to me like they’re doing it again. To me the calculus seems such— Ukraine has gotten stronger since the winter with tons of new state-of-the-art weapons to bolster their capabilities which were already stymying Russia while Russia, which was already underperforming, continues to hemorrhage manpower and has been forced to recruit very green civilian conscripts just to fill the ranks. Simply, Ukraine was already winning and they’ve gotten stronger— Russia was losing and they’ve been getting weaker. Do you agree or disagree with these assessments and do you have anything to add? Thanks.

As best I understand, the Russians in Bakhmut are making incrementally small progress in incredibly tense urban combat at the cost of massive casualties and still haven't managed to capture all of the city. For the Russians, this represents performing at their best - other areas note very little forward advance.

Certainly, Russia has lost significant amounts of human expertise since their elite infantry units - the VDV and the Naval Infantry, have suffered catastrophic losses. Their weapons are increasingly unreliable as shown last week when they accidentally bombed Belgorod. But they still have a large repository of dumb artillery. Ukraine has also suffered casualties.

I think there's good reason for modest expectations in the planned upcoming Ukrainian offensive. The Russians have had time to establish defensive works like minefields, and even green conscripts can successfully man a trench as opposed to carry out attack movements. Certainly, Ukraine does have better equipment, but Western tanks are better than Russian tanks; they're not invincible. I'd be happy if I'm underestimating them and they cause a collapse on the Russian front; that would certainly end the war quicker.

Of course, another way to end the war quicker is providing aircraft to further improve Ukraine's punching power, more HIMARS, more JDAM kits, to create precise fire support and destroy Russian lines so that Ukraine can punch through their defenses. Incrementalism costs more in the long run, I'm in favor of ruining Putin and destroying Russian imperial ambitions - the world would be better off with it gone.

Thanks for the question, Luke. Slava Ukraini!

Du solltest psychisch stabil sein, wenn du diesen Artikel lesen willst. Dann ist er sehr informativ. Für alle anderen ist er schlicht nicht auszuhalten.
