ELI5, What is going on?
Ukraine decided to walk into Russia at a place where the border is not protected very well
zero sympathy. finally they get a dose of their own medicine.
I hope this is part of a bigger plan and not some desperation move.
Anders’ analysis makes sense and he’s usually spot on. https://youtu.be/A4mg1ZUb-7s
Well if the current front lines are pretty entrenched, and it’s hard to take back occupied Ukrainian land, then just go take unprotected Russian land to make it even. Didn’t Putin say he was up for a truce if the current lines were kept? Let’s see how he feels about that when he has to give up Russian land. At the very least it will force Russia to relocate troops and resources.
Yes, that is what Im hoping. But to force troop relocation, you have to dig in which takes time or you have to blitz to Moscow like prigozin, which would really be madness, but it could work.
Don’t need to dig in. Just destroy factories, electrical transformers, oil infrastructure, and train yards.
Fuck Russia.
Good. I hope there is a deep painful fear in their hearts.
Even though it is projection, it is their brutalized army that revels in committing atrocities as it invades. Fucking savages.
