  1. it's not the city or the rubble of the city that will send NATO into panic. it's the fact Zelensky was warned this would happen, but he threw thousands of cannon fodder to their deaths anyway, plus a bunch of demoralized convicts with shovels beat NATO trained and armed ukrainian battalions, again.

  2. translation - yep, I went against the advice of NATO and threw thousands of Ukrainian cannon fodder into my futile attempt to defend a city. in the end, despite NATO arms and training of my glorious battalions, a bunch of demoralized convicts armed with just shovels and really poorly led, won. but no panic, yet another wonder weapon is on the way, so our march to Crimea is guaranteed. Zaluzhny, currently in a coma in hospital, will comment later.

  3. @karmakazi apart from Bakhmut, there are quite a few other reasons NATO should be panicking. 1. the sanctions on Russia have failed. there is no evidence at all that the Russian economy is unduly suffering. Indeed, the IMF revised upwards its estimate of economic growth in Russia over the next year. 2. NATO never planned for a long term war of attrition. on the contrary, NATO over the last decade has reduced output of artillery and ammo. Russia, on the other hand, planned for all this. 3. Ukraine is bankrupting the NATO defence budgets. US produces about 250 Patriot missiles per annum! Ukraine used 30 of them just 3 nights ago, and STILL failed to hit the kinzhal that wiped out the Patriot battery! 4. Public opinion is turning against unlimited aid to Ukraine. Already, in Germany, more than 50% of the population are against sending more weapons to Ukraine. As the months roll by, more and more of the people will get fed up of Ukraine. NATO has failed and has good reason to panic that it is staring humiliation in the face. But then again, after Kabul in 2021, what's new?

  5.  @madness198648  totally agree. it just baffles me that our so-called leaders in the West are blind to this, or pretending to be blind to this.

  6.  @Chevy-jordan  it's deluded thinking like this that has got NATO/Ukraine in such a pickle. no doubt the sanctions are working really well, in your mind, and Ghost of Kiev is about to save the day!
