After 4 weeks of remedying it, Ukraine failed to even reach the first line of actual defences. The plan was to have a big breakthrough on the first day, that simply hasn’t happened. Now, Ukraine is back to fighting a war of attrition that favors Russia. Incidentally, there was an excellent article by a senior NATO analyst explaining the differences between the way Ukraine and Russia are fighting the war and why what we’re seeing favors Russia https://www.russiamatters.org/analysis/whats-ahead-war-ukraine
Jeez you’re a gleeful fellow. Assuming you are right and the Ukrainians are actually failing in their counteroffensive, what the hell are they supposed to do? Throw their hands up and go, okay ruskis, I guess we can’t throw you out of the country, how about we give up some more territory and call it peace? If they fail and they are up for resisting and going another round, we should give them everything we can spare. Even ignoring the moral aspect, we can’t let Russia gain anything from this war.
Seems like the one who’s gleeful here is the one who wrote “To Tokmak and beyond”. I’m simply stating the basic facts about the offensive. What Ukraine should’ve obviously done was to avoid the war by agreeing to neutrality. Then when they failed to do that, they should’ve accepted the terms they were offered in March and we now know they signed and then reneged on. The longer this war goes on the more territory and people Ukraine loses, and eventually there just isn’t going to be an Ukraine left. Nobody in Ukraine actually benefits from the continuation of this war, yet western ghouls keep cheering this on.
Meanwhile, there is zero evidence that anything the west has done so far has deterred Russia in any way. And as Obama explained back in 2016 there is no prospect that the west will defeat Russia in Ukraine:
What will eventually happen is that US will decide that this war is too costly to keep going and pull out just like they’ve done with every other war in the past. US support is literally the only thing that keeps the whole thing going right now.
