Dr. Quarex posted:hay guys whats goin on in this thread I don't think Russia's military is capable of anything beyond what we've already seen at this point. They've peaked, on the land in the sea and in the air, simply lost too many trained and experienced people at once. They can't stuff people with 0.25-3 months of training into BTGs that took 40-90% casualties and expect them to be anywhere near functional mid-war against people who are already heavily experienced in fighting them. It's like sending a forum owner up against a pro-am boxer in the ring. I feel like after this war is over or possibly before that, the pointless sacrifice of all the various ethnic minorities of Russia is going to be recognized as a new form of forced suicide-by-cop ethnic cleansing tbh. It's hosed up and the mobilization made this entire conflict take a dark turn that I never really knew existed.

It's about as directly useful as anything else most of us can do, so whatever makes him happy, I guess - it's not like I'll solve this by reading the updates and maps even more intensely, yet here we are.

Apparently some US General said it'll be a long war, so whatever I'm not sure if I even wanna know. When Russia responded to the bridge attack by bombing all sorts of civilian targets etc I woke up and checked the news, and I saw a map of Ukraine with little mushroom cloud explosion like icons all over it and for like 40 seconds I thought they had launched a poo poo ton of nukes. Not a great way to wake up!

The latest youtube video from Kings and Generals has a 30 minute documentary with ALL THE MAPS on the last month of the war in Ukraine. A very high standard - equal to their ones on historical wars and fictional ones. Recommend.

I don't claim to know what's going on in Kherson, but it having been planned certainly makes a lot of sense. I also would not at all put it past Russia deliberately delaying the withdrawal because they didn't want to give biden/pro-Ukraine Americans a win right before the election since they're very much aware that eroding american support for Ukraine is the closest thing they have to a way out

KitConstantine posted:Palate cleanser: caps on Russian oil approved along with insurance restrictions which might gently caress with them even more That will be really painful for Russia. Shipping insurance eis a major deal as it prevents them a lot of international logistics. Bad for Russia. Kherson residents are reporting Russian flags being dropped in Kherson. Organized retreat? False retreat? Who knows! But the south is now feeling the effect of the bridge being crippled. The question becomes what is Russia doing? Why are they bringing stuff back? It's not a question of logic but a question of why the adaptation from the strategy which was no retreat no surrender. Is it possible they're at the point where the gas tank is empty in terms of heavy supplies so now it's "what you have is what you have.?"

The process of cleansing it describes is not some one-off stuff that just happened to happen, but rather it is a cornerstone of Russian military doctrine wrt occupied areas.
