  1. I would not call failing miserably at first, then very slowly developing an entirely different strategy, and months later very slowly advancing, all the while also sustaining unaustainable losses, "playing it smart". maybe it's too difficult and expecting better results is unrealistic, but these are nowhere near good results. the only thing that's been going impressively well are ukraine's deep strikes, those are developing very positively. particularly ukraine's apparent ability to, with whatever degree of covert allied support, still produce not just rather large numbers of low-complexity strike drones, but even proper sophisticated heavy weapons like neptune missiles, surpasses my expectations.

  2. 4:19 that's not true. the 2011 UN security council resolution 1973 authorised a no-fly zone over libya, which means attacking aircraft and air defenses, and is a violation of sovereignty and an act of war. the UN security council authorised limited acts of war against libya (and then the limits were immediately overstepped by NATO, especially by france and the US, who apparently misread "libya no-fly zone" as "no-libya zone").

  3.  @michelleisaacson6069  based on what is ukraine doing damn good? you definitely can't claim steategic genius when their original strategy of armoured breakthroughs failed completely and cost them dozens of vehicles at no gain. given the situation thus demonstrated, strategic genius would mean not trying that in the first place. even without detailed knowledge of the battlefield, I think it's very telling of how little ukraine has to show for its efforts that ukraine's government and supporters start chanting "breakthrough, breakthrough!" every time they pass another one or two percent of russian defenses towards melitopol. at this rate, they wiuld literally never get there. not only is the advance so slow that russia could build additional trench lines in front of ukraine faster than ukraine captures them, but neither ukraine's manpower and stocks nor ukraine's foreign support can take that much attrition. and it's not like melitopol is victory, it's just a waystation to enable a recapture of the zaporizhzhia and kherson oblasts, and hypothetically then attack crimea, which is looking absurdly unrealistic as that would be ten times more costly than melitopol, and look at how that is going! of course the russian army getting routed again can't be discounted as a possibility, but I think that seeing their extensive defensive network in zaporizhzhia holding as well as it does is giving them quite a lot of confidence in not being overrun, unlike the situation in kharkiv and luhansk a year ago.
