@mm8u9y7i Don't even think about counting Kyiv, Kharkov and Kherson as some kind of victory.
Russia's initial objective was to get Ukraine to the negotiating table, claim Crimea, and negotiate independent/autonomous Donbass. The main goal of Russia in Ukraine was to connect the Russian mainland with the Crimean island. To achieve this, they had to divert attention from the south to the north, while capturing territories in the south. They succeeded in this. Those negotiations took place by the end of March 2022, after about 5 weeks of fighting. Who didn’t want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time.
Russia withdrew troops from Kiev at the time of the negotiations in Istanbul - and it was a gesture of goodwill, no matter how Ukrainian propaganda presented it.the Kherson "counteroffensive" - is even less germane. In this case, Ukrainian leadership is rewriting history in record time. The AFU banged its head on Russian defenses in Kherson for months throughout the summer and autumn 22 and took atrocious losses. An entire grouping of AFU brigades was mauled in Kherson without achieving a breakthrough, and this even with Russian forces in a uniquely difficult operational disposition where they had their backs to a river. Kherson was only abandoned months later due to concerns that the Kakhovka dam might fail or be sabotaged (for those keeping score, it did in fact end up failing), and due to Russia’s need at the time to economize forces.

Andrew Perpetua @AndrewPerpetua Sep 22
It is so frustrating watching everyone involved in Ukraine make the same stupid mistakes over and over again without ever learning from the past. Ukraine, The US, Europe. Everyone involved. None of them show any capacity for basic learning.
@andrewhaak77. Sep 22
Andrew what specific problems do you mean?
@AndrewPerpetua
Where to start.
Not mobilizing, not building defenses, not culling the shit leaders, not empowering the good leaders.
not building a coherent plan, delusional understandings of needs, lack of timely responses to critical problems
wasting money on low roi, insisting on spending money on national programs, spending money on things that cannot help, rejecting simple solutions in favor of propping up national industries, refusing to make legitimate sacrifices that will cause actual harm, waiting until it is too late to make a difference before making decisions

A Ukrainian unit wrote an urgent public appeal:
The Ukrainian 23rd battalion has apparently written a public letter calling for the removal of their commander.
It goes as follows:
Open letter
military personnel of the 23rd OSB to the battalion commander:
Commander, we express our disbelief and demand your resignation. You are not worthy of the position of our battalion commander for the following reasons:
1. During your one-year tenure as a battalion commander, you have not personally been to any combat position or place of residence of the personnel of the battalion entrusted to you. Your deputies have never been interested in this either.
2. you have been ignoring numerous reports from deputy company commanders about the unsatisfactory moral and psychological state of the rifle company soldiers for 8 months. The first of these reports was submitted back in January 2024.
3. despite the reports of the deputy commanders of rifle companies about the unsatisfactory moral and psychological state of the personnel in August and ignoring the messages in the signal of the deputy commander of the 2nd company (that the creation of the joint venture koren-8 makes no sense
and can only lead to unjustified losses), you planned and gave the order to conduct offensive operations on September 5, 2024. As a result of your disregard for the officers ' opinions
due to poor planning of the combat operation, the battalion suffered significant losses among its best fighters and almost lost its combat capability.
4. you ignored the reports of the rifle company commanders on September 16 that the personnel were unable to continue performing combat tasks and needed long-term recovery, and issued an order to move to new combat positions.
5. you conveyed threats to the personnel through the company commanders that if they continue to insist on withdrawal for restoration, the battalion will be disbanded, and soldiers, sergeants and officers will be dispersed to various units.
6. during the 4 days of our stay in the rear villages of the Kharkiv region, you did not come to any location of the personnel for personal communication and studying the mood among your subordinates.
7. you require completely exhausted physically and mentally fighters to continue performing combat tasks. This can lead to unnecessary losses caused by fatigue.
8. putting exhausted soldiers on combat duty, you risk losing not only people, but also the positions themselves, which in turn can affect the defense capability of the entire front in a certain area.
Based on all this, we express our distrust to you and demand your resignation from the post of commander of the 23rd separate rifle battalion.
Our volunteer battalion deserves a better commander in spirit and in fact of creation.
September 24, 2024
As of today, 89 servicemen have agreed to sign this open letter, both those who are now in the battalion and those who transferred to other units or were written off from the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2024.

@Jamicaman516 The American Navy is under attack again. Now they have lost the only tanker ship in the Middle East. He suffered serious damage, and the Pentagon still does not admit what caused them. Either he ran aground, or ran into a mine, or he became a victim of a missile that flew from the Houthis.
This is becoming a painful blow for the entire flotilla of US ships that they keep in the Red Sea. Without a tanker ship, it will be more difficult to maintain destroyers and fighters on the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, located off the coast of Yemen. It is also not easy to quickly send new tankers - there are only about 15 of them, and many may be under repair.
We will have to send our ships to refuel in friendly ports more often. The Americans are also thinking of asking for the help of the British, who have two tanker ships. However, London has long since eliminated the conflict with the Houthis from the military aspect. And the British plan to sell their tankers soon, destroying the remnants of the Royal Navy.
The situation in the US Navy is not so acute yet, but it is also a crisis. They have to write off their navy's support ships en masse. There is simply no one to serve on them - the Pentagon is sorely lacking thousands of sailors. That's why military logistics is breaking down from the loss of just one ship.
At the same time, it is also difficult with the release of new ships and submarines - it takes more and more time, and the cost flies into the sky. Well, the failed operation against the Houthis may be a harbinger of what awaits the crisis-laden US military machine in future conflicts.
