Calm down old boy we don’t want you having an stroke or an aneurism now do we?:triumph:

Let’s face facts and keep things simple for you.

It’s an artillery war. Russia has a 10 to 1 advantage in artillery.

Haha! Changing topic. Why does “the second army in the world” need to perform mobilization and other bullshit like Prigozhin’s prison recruitments with such ratios and 10 to 1 artillery?

All armies perform mobilization in war. Even in the USA. I hear ukes are up well over ten rounds of mobilization👍
Russia keeps active forces in far flung parts of the country, easier to take in reservists than relocate and leave an open flank. Russia is like really big ya know?:exploding_head:
Whats wrong with putting convicts to work? Giving them a second chance? That’s old school stuff nothing new there.

Why is Russia doing so badly then?

They are “grinding” the ukes manpower down. It’s a very conservative risk adverse approach. Sit back with artillery and fire. Taking land and offensives exposes men to risk. Land can be won back later, human life cannot.

You are funny guy :rofl:

This was their strategy when they tried to take Kyiv, was it? Pretend to take land as a feint, and then fall back very rapidly in order to fight a war of attrition?

Welcome. Glad you’ve cheered up and calmed down now.

Very different - Kiev was a total mess, they totally misread the situation. Bad intel. No excuses.

The invasion was a complete fuck up masterminded by incompetent idiots.

Early days yes fully agree. Invading a nation of 40 mil with an army of 150k? Really?? Also not adding manpower in summer was just silly.

This new general with sole command seems to be the goods. Time will tell.

You agree that Putin is an incompetent idiot, or just poorly advised?

Poorly advised incompetent idiot :rofl:

Honestly we will never know who masterminded this whole thing. They thought a negotiation would take place.

Actually a deal was supposedly in play in march, but bojo stopped Ukraine from signing.

I’m surprised Boris managed to lose the Prime Ministership when he was so powerful he could convince Ukraine to not concede defeat.

I dislike both of them, but they’re infinitely preferable to Uncle Vlad.
