  1. So Ukraine admits they are trying to retake Bakhmut for symbolism and not strategy.
    162
  2. So…AFU walked themselves right into a kill pocket. Krynky and Robotyne all over again.
    125
  3. IDF is just as trustworthy as the AFU.
    95
  4. Surrendering is what a lot of Ukrainians did. Best choice they’ll ever make.
    78
  5. It really feels like the ending of All Quiet on the Western Front, where the commander sends his troops on a final suicide offensive out of pride.
    65
  6. And these are losses trying to just get to the 1st line of defense. How does the AFU hope to secure the areas they enter?
    65
  7. NAFO also likes to tease Russia for still using T55s, but a lot of countries still do. And Russia has huge stockpiles of them, so why not use them up?
    52
  8. If the US admits Israel is unpredictable, and they don’t want to get dragged into their war, then maybe they should stop giving them money and weapons in “ironclad” support?
    46
  9. As far as I’m concerned, nothing “significant” happens until the 1st defense line is reached. Anything else is apparent that Russia is willing to give.
    45
  10. AFU sacrificing all those men for what? It's not like that Tiktok brigade will be able to hold on to any of that territory for more than a few days.
    41
  11. Such an obvious trap and they walked into it anyway.
    35
  12. Also, you can see NATO vehicles gunning down AFU that try to retreat. So it’s harder for Ukraine to hide their anti-retreat forces.
    34
  13. Need more TikToks
    28
  14. And now they’ve been improved with washing machines from China and refrigerators from N Korea.
    27
  15. Maybe throw in some Gundams and Star Destroyers too.
    25
  16.  @t.n.h.ptheneohumanpatterna8334 ow much would you prefer? The #1 army in the world couldn’t even hold Afghanistan.
    21
  17.  @grahamcroston  Ukraine became a totalitarian regime when its democratically-elected government was overthrown by a US-back coup. And what democracy? Zelensky has suspended elections, banned opposition Parties, censoring critical media,, jailed dissidents, etc.
    21
  18. You mappers overreacted in Krynky, Robotyne, Belgorod, etc. Y'all need to look at the big picture.
    19
  19. There needs to be UN observers at the hospital to prevent IDF from planting evidence.
    16
  20. What makes you think Trump would end the wars? He certainly didn’t in his first term.
    16
  21.  @bryancourtney2207  they're not taking anything. They are slogging through the gray zone and haven't even reached the 1st layer of defense.
    15
  22.  @fritszuidema7628  Any opinions of the atrocities the Kyiv regime was committing on the Donbas people since 2014?
    15
  23. There's just no realistic way for this counteroffensive to work. They need air protection and artillery screening to protect their anti-mining teams. Something the AFU just doesn't have.
    15
  24. Releasing a Summer teaser trailer to announce that there will be no announcement.
    15
  25. I don’t think the Ukrainians watched Star Wars. The high ground is important.
    13
  26.  @jaarneal  It would be like Russia or China staging weapons and men at the Mexican border. Would that be insignificant to the US? Would the US react in an "unprovoked" manner?
    13
  27. It seems like such an obvious trap. But never underestimate the AFU’s willingness to walk straight into a trap.
    13
  28. This offensive was the AFU's last chance. Every iteration of the AFU gets exponentially weaker.
    13
  29. Gotta please the shareholders. If Zelensky didn't do it, he loses money and weapons donations. It's a cruel paradox.
    12
  30. Zelensky will ask Japan for Gundams.
    12
  31. As expected of a Hollywood entertainer, like Zelensky, to put out a Summer teaser trailer for his offensive. Real lives involved, and he treats it like a media project.
    12
  32. I don’t think the AFU can even retreat from Krynky. Those boats are 1 way.
    12
  33. It’s like the ending of All Quiet in the Western Front. Zelensky is the commander sending his troops on a final suicide mission for his pride.
    11
  34.  @RN1441 and NAFO was closing Russia for the cope cages. But if they are the Challengers, I’m sure they will now say it’s a brilliant NATO tactic.
    10
  35.  @frenzalrhomb6919 Russia already explained its objective was to create a buffer zone for Belgorod. What’s the AFU’s objective here?
    10
  36.  @jbrown7063 they control 20% of Ukraine (taking more by the day) and defeated the AFU’s grand Spring Offensive. Russia’s military is damn good.
    9
  37. What's crazy is that the AFU should know this. Most of their top brass were from the same Soviet schools. Listening to "superior" NATO tactics was the worst mistake Ukraine made.
    9
  38. If NATO knows the trainees being sent to them are suboptimal, then it’s a war crime to send them back to the frontline. EU should be granting them asylum instead.
    8
  39. Bay of Pigs 2.0
    8
  40. Is that what you said in Krynky, Robotine, Belgorod, etc?
    8
  41.  @ssglbc1875  that’s the thing. It will make headlines and NAFO bots will be running laps. But strategically, they just fought and died just to go back into the meat grinder again.
    8
  42. War changes a man. And Prigozin was never a military man to begin with, so he isn't even trained to deal with the aftermath of his victory in Bakhmut. I think he just lost his marbles.
    7
  43.  @BenDover-1  Lancaster is actually out in the field. You know, like a real journalist. All your NAFO sources hang out in the cafes and clubs of Kiev.
    7
  44.  @jaarneal  Russia's initial invasion worked: It got Zelensky to the negotiating table, but it was the US and UK that forced him to renege on the deal. And Putin opted for a limited SMO because he was uncertain how the sanctions would affect his economy and the war was unpopular in Russia at the time. But now the sanctions have done nothing and the Russian people have realized how much NATO hates them and have rallied to Putin, so he is more confident in elevating this war.
    7
  45. Bro was panicking on day 1 of the Kursk incursions. These mappers freak out over any little thing from the AFU. They already forgot Krynky, Robotyne, Belgorod, etc
    7
  46. Real life Thanos snap.
    7
  47. How so?
    6
  48.  @jcym9058  Not even close to apples-to-apples comparison. Bakhmut had been fortified by NATO for the past 8 years and was deemed impregnable. That's nothing close to empty fields and farmhouses the AFU are "liberating."
    6
  49. The Russians were probably wondering if they should shoot it, but they decided to see what would happen.
    6
  50.  @theorncampbell4432 the AFU’s problem is that their best units were lost last year. As time goes on, their troops are suffering from abridged training and working with a hodgepodge of non-uniform weapons. The Ukraine side gets weaker after every iteration.
    6
  51.  @Hermes-pq3gm why is it embarrassing?
    6
  52.  @ronhau1542  So now you listen to Prigozhin? What about his earlier calls to chase the AFU out of Bakhmut and exterminate them all before they regroup?
    5
  53.  @janboogmans2918  that’s not true at all. Why don’t you tell the class where you are finding this official Russian info?
    5
  54. You give Ukraine too much credit. Last year Russia was undermanned for the SMO and gave up territory they knew they couldn't confidently hold. Since then, they've had a 300K+ mobilization.
    5
  55. It really reminds me of the ending of All Quiet on the Western Front, where the commander sends his troops on a suicide mission even when the war was essentially over.
    5
  56.  @31mAyMgaYanga Russia obliterated the AFU grand Spring Offensive.
    5
  57.  @webkeeper  it’s not a bargaining chip if you can’t hold it. And sacrificing your most elite forces for it, too.
    5
  58.  @chlim6826 what advantage is eroded? The Russians have air dominance and artillery advantage. What has Ukraine done to prevent another Bradley Square?
    5
  59.  @charlesnambong9316 lol, and you clowned Russia for taking that amount of time, but when the AFU takes too long, then it’s a healthy marathon.
    5
  60. NATO tactics are inherently more dramatic since they involve speed and initial power. Russian movements are more slow and careful, so not as sexy.
    5
  61.  @nledaig  not starting new wars is fine. But he did not stop existing wars.
    5
  62. Is that what you said about Krynky, Robotyne, belgorod, etc?
    5
  63. Zelensky is keeping them in mint condition in original packaging because they will be worth more in the future.
    5
  64. Because they are loud as hell.

  65. He did great for the Bakhmut saga. Were you here for that?
    4
  66. They’ll hold it about just as well they held Krynky, Robotyne, Belgorod, etc
    4
  67. To the surprise of nobody. But Zelensky knows the PR value of a TikTok raid. There’s still normies that think AFU is winning in Krynky, Robotyne, Belgorod, etc
    4
  68.  @Ofasia777  The 300K were not used in offensives. They seem to be used to reinforce the layered defensive lines precisely so the AFU doesn't make the same success as last time. Once the AFU offensive eventually fails, Ukraine will no longer have any army left and the rest of the annexed territory will fall quickly. Why should Russia leave its castles to fight in enemy turf before they've been whittled by attrition?
    4
  69.  @arostwocents oh yes, because Krynky, Robotyne, and Belgorod were totally not traps?

  72. The Valkyries of Ukraine. Maybe get the Ghost of Kiev out of retirement too.
    4
  73. Not only that, but that average pace will get much less the further they go. The defensive lines become much more difficult the deeper you go. Ukraine just doesn’t have what it takes.
    4
  74.  @serialman1 please. NAFO clowned on Russia for their pacing and were hyping how the AFU would reach the Sea of Azov in 3 days. This marathon narrative is a recent development.

  75.  @31mAyMgaYanga they’re busy liberating the Donbas.

  85.  @kevinw8593  yup, especially since the AFU have lost over 1,000 KIA, particularly to Russia’s air dominance in dropping FAB 500s. Also, Russia wrecks Ukrainian airfields on the daily.

  86. Well, I guess the Ukrainians technically did finally reach the 1st line of defense with a single tank.

  87. Russia has routinely demonstrated it doesn’t care about PR, which is why they withdrew from Karkhiv and Kherson. They do what it takes to win the long game.

  125. What is the point? It’s not like the AFU can hold any of these positions. I’m surprised you haven’t understood the concept of attritional warfare? It’s not the territory you take, but the army you wipe out. And you can advance 1,000 km in a day, but it’s useless if you’re beaten back the next day.

  139.  @simonmoorcroft1417  please, we’ve heard the “Russia running out of ammo” line since last March. Russia seems to be doing pretty great fighting with just shovels? And funny you bring up CLUSTER munitions (say the name) since Biden has admitted that he’s only sending them since NATO ran out of ammo, it’s not for any tactical reason.

  140.  @ProcaviaCapensis-ts8ub  yes, Russia has massive advantage in all other areas and now they have mobilized numbers to negate the AFU manpower. This is why Ukraine has not even made it to the 1st line of defense. If they couldn’t beat mercenaries, how will they beat the Russian army?

  189. Ukraine is losing fortresses they had been building since 2014. Kursk incursion is farm towns with no defenses built. Who do you think is winning?

  190.  @oliverdahms9434  bleeding out? Lol. Sanctions did nothing and Russian factories are cranking out limitless supplies. If Ukraine is sitting on so much weaponry, why are they out on hands and knees begging for more?

  198. All the NATO surveillance in the world, but none of the intel to interpret it. The West somehow thinks things like “morale” can win the day. Sorry, but any novice can look at those defensive lines and tell it’s a suicide mission.

  199. Everyone knew this was coming. How did Iran still manage to get caught?
