  1. They were only expecting a rather small position, held by a squad. Instead, they came into contact with a well dug in platoon size element with a T-90 supporting them. It would have been suicide to be "more aggressive" considering they lacked the numbers and the firepower to deal with it.

  2.  @benanders4412  And what you're implying is that Russia was dumb enough to get baited into it.

  3.  @curiousgeorge2082  Mauripol hasn't fallen. The Russians haven't even been able to capture a bunch of rubble.

  5. You seriously believe that? Is that what RT is saying now? If that was what Russia intended, they're fools. Ukrainian units aren't being "pinned", they're defending fortress cities. Russia is a maneuver-warfare army (they're failing at even that). Their doctrine isn't built to engage in urban warfare. That is how Sumy, Mauripol, and Chernihiv haven't fallen after over a MONTH of fighting. Ukraine's situation favors attrition, since THEY aren't under sanctions, and armor isn't their strongpoint. They're biggest strength is the fact that they can obtain advanced Western anti-tank missiles and MANPANDS, while Russia has to rely on its rapidly diminishing stockpiles, and whatever their defense industry can cobble together (which is very little). The longer the war drags on, the weaker Russia gets. Their capabilities are degraded, their equipment is lost or captured, their precision weapons run out. Meanwhile, Ukraine further mobilizes, gets more man-portable weaponry, captures more Russian equipment.

  6.  @alexhendrixe6355  Minimal collateral damage? They've leveled Mauripol. The city looks like Grozny in '95.

  7.  @alexhendrixe6355  The Russians are blasting the crap out of Mauripol. They're using MRLSs and heavy artillery. On civilian targets, no less. They leveled a theater with 2000 people in it, killing around 300. THAT is colleterial damage, from a sloppy and crude army.

  8.  @alexhendrixe6355  So what you're saying is that the Ukrainians hit their own theater full of their own people? Way inside their lines? Please.

  9. Iran blusters with its rhetoric, but given it is an open secret that Israel has nukes, they won't do anything.
