Winning a war is more about degrading the other sides equipment and personnel than defending territory. Lost territory can be regained. Lost lives (and even lost equipment) cannot.

[@iainhunneybell]

Absolutely right. Standing to the bitter end and losing people and material is just a fast way to lose. The Ukrainians are playing a smart game of holding long and hard enough to cause the Russians huge losses, while minimising their own losses

[@T0ghar]

Exactly. "No step back" would be a mistake

[@aimformyheadplease]

Amen, it took Ruzzia 26 months to gain 15 km of territory and a small city of only 14,000 people pre-war at the cost of a minimum of 40,000 Ruzzian dead and upwards of 100,000+ wounded. For 15 kilometers. For a town the size of only 14,000 people. Tim calling this a defeat because Ukraine is using modern tactics of dynamic defense either, well, it exposes at the very least a woeful, almost willful, ignorance, or a insincerity, in the way he framed something that can only be considered a wild Ruzzian Pyrrhic defeat, and a wild Ukrainian victory. Ruzzia suffered just horrendous losses for a rather insignificant town and less than 0.6% of Ukrainian territory. I could even watch any more of what this dullard had to say after such a ignorant comment that for me destroyed any credibility despite his obvious sympathies and loyalties. Those kind of defeatist positions that overplay Ruzzian success only hurts the chances of Western aid, who are notorious in general of wanting to back a winner, the ultimate in band wagon jumpers. It's not innocent, and it's not harmless by mis-framing what's actually going on on the frontlines. I couldn't agree with your comment more!!!

[@AbnerHolsinger]

@@occamraiser as long as russia is willing to sacrifice huge numbers of conscripts in these meat wave attacks, and the west is not willing to step up and do everything to stop them, Ukraine has to do what they can with what they have, and that means holding when they can and falling back when they need to to save lives, since they are significantly outnumbered. Even with the gains russia makes with these meat wave attacks, they would take decades to make their stated goals; they cannot win on the terms they announced and they know it, which is why they have had lukashenko floating the idea of a ceasefire.

I was thinking the same thing too. It is like he can't understand why Ukraine is doing it. This is not WW1, when you could entrench yourself in and keep holding the position. Any large gathering of people will get an artillery call upon, any fortification will get bombed by a gliding bomb. The moment Russia want a place to be taken, they will take it by the meat waves and bombs and that is being shown throughout the whole conflict. And then he talks that Ukraine would not benefit at all for having long range weapons permissions. What about massive weapons depots looking like mushroom clouds in the recent weeks. Those things will probably help Ukraine massively in a long run more than throwing that expensive missile at some random depot in occupied territory which will be replenished the next day. Really hard to stop rambling when such ideas are being thrown by a "Ukraine specialist".

I don't think Vulhadar is a "big town" it's 3.5 Km². And the solid, nonflexible line is a terrible idea. Ask the germans from 1918. Russia lost something like 800 armored vehicles taking this village over 31 months and 1,000s and 1,000s of men. This approach has gained .006% of Ukrainian territory so far this year. At this rate, it will require 8 BILLION men to take all of Ukraine. Losing a tiny bit of territory is not losing a war.

[@juliechristianson8009]

So heartening to read this.

[@geofflepper3207]

And even if Russia had 8 billion men to spare it still couldn't conquer Ukraine because within a year Russia will have used up all of its stored army equipment in decent condition and Russia is quickly using up its liquid assets in its national wealth fund plus Ukraine is gradually destroying Russian oil refineries. Plus, it took over two years for Russia to capture Vuhledar so to capture all of Ukraine at that rate would take many thousands if not millions of years and Russia is facing demographic collapse so by the end of this century might have only half as many men as it does now. As well, for every man who is ordered to join the army in a mass mobilization two other Russian men flee the country so Russia would need to have an additional 16 billion men to make up for all the men who would flee Russia if 8 billion men were mobilized.

Trading on a demo account can definitely feel similar to the real market, but there are some differences.

Ukraine has already been using storm shadows to hit Russians in Crimea including a devastating attack on Russia's Black Sea naval headquarters in Sevastopol. Thus, given that the Russian government has said for a long time that Crimea is part of Russia, it would seem that Russia has no logical reason to claim that hitting places in Russia with storm shadow missiles is any different than hitting places in Crimea with storm shadow missiles.

[@maniravsadhur8409]

At this point losing one village here or there doesn't matter any longer. What matters for Ukraine is to hold on and keep putting Russia under pressure until the Russian economy collapses completely. To that end, the attack in the Kursk region plays an incredibly important role, because it increases wildly both the casualties and the logistic burden on the Russian side. It is of paramount importance that the Russians DO NOT obtain any kind of ceasefire, which would undoubtedly work in their favour by letting them breathe and give them time to recover. Also, we're always talking about the Kremlin's red lines, but I find it rather bizarre that nobody mentions Ukraine's red lines. For example, if it looks like the Kremlin is going to have things its way thanks to shifts in the West's support, what keeps Ukraine from using those useless long-range American weapons and shoot them at Moscow and the Kremlin in particular, at St Petersburg, at Russia's power plants and so on? We always take for granted that the Ukrainians will keep being good boys and nicely put up with rules that apply only for them and not for their invader. What if they snap and stop pulling their punches? What will the West do: stop supporting Ukraine and let Russia destroy it? It's astonishing that this possibility is never mentioned anywhere.

Because they have been to stingy with Euros to put weapons in the closet they may never use. Just selling the warstuff to countries that better don´t have that stuff.

RE: "None-shall-pass line" Just as in the fight against water, concrete does not solve this problem. Concrete creates a place where force can be concentrated, and the concrete will fail. Instead, you need to put a sequence of smaller obstacles in the water's path, each one reducing the power of the water, until it has lost its force. We Dutch call it "ruimte voor de rivier". The military specialists call it "defense in depth".

- La France et UK ont déjà donné leur accord pour l'utilisation du SCALP/Storm Shadow à longue distance mais à cause d'un composant américain cet accord est bloqué par les USA. Ce n'est pas l'intérêt des USA que la guerre s'arrête vite : elle rapporte beaucoup. Il ne faudrait pas que la Russie vaincue et devenue démocratique s'allie à l'U.E. n'est-ce pas ? 😉 - La guerre en Ukraine n'a pas d'influence sur les choix politiques en France car il y a très peu de gens qui sont contre les aides. De plus la France forme aussi beaucoup de personnel, dont des aviateurs, d'ailleurs sur les Mirage 2000 qui vont avec.

[@borisarapovic7379]

ukraine is using mobile defense because russia has stockpile of missilies that can wipe any "you shall not pass" line. tactical retreat is best defense in this situation, make them waste their munition. its dumb to think that any stationary target can be invinsible

[@VolundMush]

The very-slow-withdrawal/losing and not using big guns may be a strategy. It emboldens Russia to think its winning despite the high cost and keep pouring resources it cant afford in the lomg term at the problem, and spreads them out thinner and thinner.... might be a plan here.

Sorry, but it's simply not true about poling in Crimea

[@stephenhill545]

Crimea has been colonised by a million Russians since 2014. Ethnic cleansing is also a war crime.

[@DHEAS11]

@stephenhill545 1. I am referring to before that. 2. Definitely less than that (1 mln Russians after 2014, I mean) 3. Crimea has never had at any point in it's history ethnic Ukrainian, Ukranian speaking, Ukrainian oriented majority. Sorry, that's just a fact of life, like it or not. 4. Crimea has been colonized, conquered by numerous civilizations staring with the Greeks. Of all of those Ukrainian presence has had the least practical impact short of imposing language norms and converting Russian patronimics to Ukraian standards. Of all the civilizations that ever controlled Crimea, Ukraine invested the least into its infrastructure

Why do the Ukrainians have to be in line with your strategic thinking? Have you fought any Russians? Have you come up against the tactics that the Russians are using? Why does western military strategy have to be the standard the Ukrainians must use?

[@Todd.B]

Trump being so close in the polls in the US goes to show that most voters are low information voters and when voters don't have information to rely on, they rely on emotion to guide their voting. The right has been selling fear for decades. 40-50 million people watched the VP debate, that still means 100+million did not watch it. Two-thirds of the people I work with don't follow politics, know very little about politics and really don't care about politics, people voting out of emotion are easily manipulated. In 2016, the border was the main issue for Trump and building a wall, immigration still hasn't been fixed but there is no mention of fixing it this time around for trump and certainly not building a wall this time. Policy doesn't matter to these people they are totally bought into the fear and emotion the right push.

[@kirkpeterson3641]

Trump is such a friend of Putin said he was the first president to send lethal Aid to Ukraine. Trump is such a friend of Putin that he stopped Nordstrom Trump is such a friend of Putin that he told Europe to step up and pay their 2% for their National Defense against Russia. Trump is such a Putin fan that he told Europe not to depend on natural gas from Russia . Trump is such a friend of Putin said he made it illegal for any I T servers to work in the United States.
