  1.  @Bishop46066  Retreats are since thousands of years a very succesful tactic. It's simply stupid to hold an area out of stubborness, when it's much smarter to fall back for further strikes agaist the enemy. Positioning is extremely important. If there is an extremely advantage positions, you don't want to give it up. Some open fields are never a good position.

  2.  @rogerhudson9732  Yeah, that's the thing with Nazis. Remember that they still got delusions 1945 with soviet tanks in Berlin...

  3. That village now is even small for a village. But yes, that's indeed the similarity.

  4. The compareable part is, that in both cases the coup regime pumps endless amount of money and people against a wall, withotu any care, tactic, strategy, nothing. Wagner wasn't never the main part of anything beside media attention. Overall it seems pretty clear, that Russia didn't like the aggression Wagner put on display on media and on the battlefield, partly seemingl mimicking the insanity of Ukraine regarding their recruits (what feels a bit like that this was about money: they get paid for their mercenaries, when those mercenaries die, Wagner keeps the wage they would have to pay... - wouldn't surprise me). Russia still does not seem to care to hold Bakhmut nor did they care much to conquer it. For what? It's ruins anyway and was a perfect trap for the Nazis, who kept coming and coming and coming. Likely the reason they let Wagner do their shitshow on the field and on media, because they kept the idea going, that Bakhmut was something extremely important and the Russian army got horrible losses in their desperate try to take it. What was completely wrong, but war is deception... The whole focus on Wagner is a good example for that. What is Wagner? At best some good fighters (what will count only for a fraction of them and for sure not for those ex prisoners), but not many and their equipment can't hold a candle to what the Russian army got.
