  1. Meaningless metric. The size if the UK is irrelevant, what's relevant is how much it cost Russia for those gains.

  2.  @imrekalman9044  Almost nothing.

  3. They don't have enough TOR to protect all batteries, and they don't have anything that can counter HIMARS.

  4. Vatnik delusion.

  5.  @tomzamp8547  That has nothing to do with the war, though. That's the world shooting itself in the foot economically since 2020.

  6. Declare victory and then what? Just sustain the bombing?

  7. It's enough to keep hitting artillery. At some point the final straw breaks the camel's back.

  8. Artillery prevents a "cauldron" if it outranges the opposition.

  9. Most Ukrainian hardware is former Soviet in nature.

  10. NATO has actual air forces, artillery would never get in range.

  11. Bottom line: the population of the fake statelets is either dying or living in poverty, and Russia cannot afford to assimilate them like they did to Crimea.

  12. @Anonymous Bosch Who cares? You think they have the means to do anything?

  13. @Anonymous Bosch Their allies are going to do what? Last time terrorists wanted to attack one of those dumb cartoon things to offend them, Texans shot them. Start fires? Americans are already doing that. America didn't flee the Taliban, because the Taliban are not at war with America. They were at war with Kabul, and Kabul thought it was better to embezzle American taxpayer money than fight back. America left as part of the peace deal.

  14. Iraq in 1991 had a large army and a robust defense system, along with an air force.

  15.  @mjmj4707  Before Desert Storm happened, people were saying that Iraq was going to be Bush Sr.'s Vietnam. It's now that everyone discounts how powerful Iraq really was. In hindsight it gets called a "small country" when it had one of the largest armies in the world at the time.

  16. It's not aggression if your ex marries someone else.

  17. No, it doesn't. Only murderers think like that.

  18. A major world power that needs militias from the country they're trying to invade.

  20. They didn't backfire.

  21. Plenty of artillery and artillerymen hit by M777s before those M777s were hit. Some people have left their arms in the Ukrainian plains and can't load artillery no more.

  22. The US already tested hypersonics in 2004.

  23. False. Belarus to Kiev is 140km, Basra to Bagdad is 280km. The US got to the capital twice as fast and covered twice the distance.

  24. Russia is also using 40-50 year olds on 3 month contracts.
