NATO / america are weak. They got beat by the Russia's bench in the 4th qtr because the spread was 20 points with 2:12 minutes left. What happens when Russia uses their starters..
Finland came in and got dunked on by Russia's bench too.
But those humanitarian, human rights Ukraine Nazis....... going to ethnic cleanse the Donbas before Russia was ever there, and after Ukraine already aligned with the EU and the Euromaidan was a success. No need to start a war but UkroNazis thought... "you know what Eastern Ukraine needs? Our invading fascism"
Have you started killing people in america because they speak Spanish and like Mexico? You know, to show your support for Ukraine.
You idiots still think WMD's are waiting to be found in Iraq.
A lot of people have been critical of Ukraine for defending Bakhmut for as long as they did, including US military officials who back in January recommended that Ukraine withdraw from Bakhmut. But the real question is why did Russia sacrifice so much to gain a small city that is now completely uninhabitable and will be very difficult to defend with all the infrastructure blown up? Russian KIA in Bakhmut were more than the Soviets lost over ten years of the Afghan/Soviet war. Wagner will never be able to reproduce its tactic of "meat waves" with convict soldiers being sent to certain death just to take a few hundred meters. Most of the convicts who were willing to fight with Wagner are dead or disabled from battle in Bakhmut and it is now well known in the Russian penitentiary system that fighting for Wagner is suicide. Ukraine forces have taken up positions on higher ground around Russia's flanks in Bakhmut and will be able to sweep back through the city if Russian forces are stretched to thin defending Ukraine's spring counteroffensive.
Russia's forces are already stretched so thin that they are barely able to put down an incursion by a group of poorly armed wacko partisans in Belgorod.
But maybe Putin can get into a supersonic plane and go fast enough to go back in time and de-age. Because right know he looks like he's ready to dodder into a retirement dacha.
Russia borders Ukraine, their planes have more than enough range to reach Kyiv from Russia already...and have since the war began.
Your comparison to the runway at Iwo Jima for reaching Japan is a bad one.
You have not studied post-Iwo Jima commentary obviously. Post-Iwo Jima, there were discussions regarding the awful death rate. There were discussions if the reward, a runway was worth the death rate.
Bakhmut is closer to Kiev than any location in Russia to Kiev, correct? At this time we can have a death rate to runway discussion.
From a military science analysis, one could say Iwo Jima runway was worth it BUT Marine generals requested a week or two of battleship guns onto Iwo Jima. Navy admirals told Marine generals to get going. Marine general were correct.

I've read three books about Iwo. Including "Flyboys". Planes in 1944 had considerably less range than they do today. And there was no such thing as mid-air refueling with tanker planes in 1944.
Yes, I know about the abbreviated shelling of Iwo by the navy. Same thing happened at Pelilu and Marines, and eventually army, paid the price for it.
Russia will not use bombers, they will continue with a stand-off missile campaign.

Russia has been fighting an artillery war a few kilometers at a time. If Russia has a plan of taking Kiev, Russia does not want to get there one kilometer at a time. Think of a Kiev battle plan. Bakhmut makes sense, even it is for only quick resupply of Russian ground troops.

Any attempt to go to Kyiv would be ill-advised by Russia. Paratroopers? Air cav soldiers in choppers? All really bad ideas. I don't think Russia or Putin thinks they're ever getting back to Kyiv. Ukraine air defenses will only grow stouter as time goes on.
And Russia has not shown the capacity or capability for a massive armored thrust on the ground that would break through blitzkrieg style. I think they plan on continuing to fight WW One.

Why is Ukraine/NATO/america still losing after a year and a half to Russia's B team who came off the bench?
Multiple cities being leveled by Russia but not one Russian city has been leveled. #weakness
Lesson learned: Don't let your Nazi problem start the first violence (Nov. 24th 2013) and then use the same Nazis to ethnic cleanse civilians in the Donbas (April 2014) before Russia was ever there. Someone might notice and do something about it.
The most conservative estimates put the cost for the all-out war by the Ukrainian authorities against all public symbols, monuments and names that are associated with Russia, the October revolution and Soviet history, or left...

That is ridiculous to claim that the Russia needed Bakhmud so bad so their AF can strike Kiev. They can fly directly from Russia or Belarus as they've been doing since last year.
Do you just spread Russian propaganda or are you creating it?
40k confirmed dead for Ukraine and this number is expected to triple
Why is Russia still in Ukraine and Crimea?
Serious question.
Haha. Holy f*cking sh*t you’ll believe any pro-Russian propaganda you read. Are you this f*cking stupid in real life? Or do you just pretend to be this mentally challenged online?
50 million confirmed dead Russians! I saw it on the Twitter!!
