@freetime5803 Overall it's not about time it never was. People tend to think too much in videogame terms, as if there is some kind of countdown or achievement for being fast. 24h, 48h, 72h, a whole week or a month - it's not about time. Overall rushing things mainly means to increase the risk. That's what see on Ukraine side actually, since rushing in like that is just an terrible idea. If they get destroyed in 24h, it's less about that Russia is in a hurry to do so, but it could happen, if they are so dumb and really just try to amass troops there for a further push - what will of course just be an easy, giant target.

A brute force offensive MUST crush the enemey in a decisive way, though. Since this did not happen, it's simply no brute force offensive - it's just a rushed suicide mission.

@freetime5803 People somehow like to listen to all the youtuber, but overall rushing in like that was NEVER a good idea in all history or warfare. It CAN be worth the endless high risk if you either so powerful, that you can stomp the enemy or somehow reach a worthwhile goal by it before the enemy may be able to react. The thing is: Ukraine has reached absolutely nothing. Settlements got no military worth and they did nothing to dimish the Russian firepower in any meaningful way. So you got a high risk manveure, reached nothing of worth with it what chance the high risk to certain and catastrophic failure. The only idea behind it would remain, that Russia simply ran out of ammunition - what is a winny wonderland fantasy.

Throwing away billions in equipment and thousands of lives for nothing isn't 'well played' beside it not being a game at all.

@saattlebrutaz Rushing in like that without even a clear worthwhile goal is pretty much creating a trap for yourself anyway. No one sane is doing that.

Well, they are mercenaries, it's what they get paid for.
