Comments by "John Adam" (@johnadam2885) on "Russia using surface-to-air missiles to target Ukrainian cities • FRANCE 24 English" video.

  1. Not the usual report of Craig laced with the bravado about Ukrainian resilience, Ukraine shooting down 98% missiles, Russia is running short of missiles, Russia does not have accurate missiles. He says the targets were infrastructure, but one fell on a residential area because the Ukranians shot it. A more factual report as the western media has to now prepare its public for the impending defeat of Ukraine which will accelerate after Bkahmut falls.

  2. @@rwafpre8246 Your information is out of date and built on western propaganda. Now Bakhmut is on the verge of capture, the west says it is unimportant. However, it was heavily fortified by Ukraine with NATO guidance since 2014 as a bulwark against a Russian advance. Once that falls, Russia can go for Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, and connect up with Zaphorozhia. Afterwards, it is easier to advance to central Ukraine as it is open steppes from thereon. 'because of the typical Russian military strategy that if they can't have something nobody can...' The Red Army crushed the Nazis in the same way. It had to be done to get to Berlin. The Red Army destroyed 80% of the German army. 'The story of the war so far has been Russia making slow grinding progress based on brute force, which then gets reverse all at once when Ukrainians come in using actual modern military strategy and tactics.' Indeed. But things have changed. Ukraine will no longer be able to reverse its losses. Because it has lost too much manpower in places like Bakhmut and Soledar. The US is asking Ukraine to give up Bakhmut so it has some soldiers left to train with the tanks. The Russians fire 10 shells for every 1 shell from Ukraine. The second reason Ukraine cannot reverse the losses now is its supply chain is stretched - it is getting too little, too late. Russia in contrast has greater manpower, and Russia makes all components of a wide range of weapons. It has a larger stockpile than the west, and its factories are able to ramp up production. The battle in the east and south is lost for the west. You need to update your information and expectations. Russia has Ukraine by the scruff of the neck and will not let it go. There can be a negotiated settlement but on Russian terms; or Ukraine's surrender. There are no other outcomes. The Nazis in Berlin had to surrender to the Red Army even though they resisted till the bitter end, and it will be the same with the Ukro Nazis.
