  1.  @oldrocker1970  Battle of the bulge was a German victory until the weather cleared, at which point their armor and infantry were destroyed from the air. LOLOLOLOLOL 'German victory' LOLOLOL. It was a defeat the moment the Germans launched the attack. Sure they were 'winning' and gaining ground, but it was only temporary when the Germans had little in the way of reserves and resupply compared to the Allies that had limitless supplies and men to bring up to retake whatever they lost. At that point it was simply prolonging the inevitable.

  2.  Jamesp wickstrom  The Germans were defeated by a lack of supplies including fuel. Their attack was a failure from the moment it began because it had no chance for long term success with the massive supply and soldier advantage that the Allies had.

  3. @2ndTim32 Throwing your forces un suicidal attacks might be great for songs and movies but in the long run you use up your remaining forces and equipment. Well if that's the case then we should be seeing a massive counterattack from the Russians that will retake everything they lost and then some shortly against the weak Ukrainians who have thrown their forces away right? Also where is the Russian airforce in all this? Its the perfect time for them to show up bigtime and bomb the hell out of advancing UA forces and yet we've barely heard anything from them even now.

  4.  @FR_PS  So what are the Russians dying for other than the insanity of Putin's decision to invade for no good reason?

  5.  @dweamy1  By now any country that wanted to help Ukraine would be doing so regardless of the results of any offensive. It would be utterly stupid to decide to stop or continue to support a country's war effort based on a failure or two. If you're in it then you're in it for the long haul and don't care about the short term successes or defeats.

  6.  @stavroskarageorgis4804  Who said that they thought it would be easy? How many people predicted that the Ukrainian forces would last even a few weeks at the beginning of the invasion when three large Russian fronts opened up moving its way into Ukraine? Pretty much all the pro-Russian channels and armchair quarterbacks predicted the UA forces wouldn't last long at all. Even when the Russian advances were slowing down and the Kiev front was stalled and not moving, many still believed it was only a matter of time before Kiev and Ukraine's government would fall. Heck even after the Russians retreated from the Kiev front, people were still saying it was a slight setback and that they were merely redeploying for the big Donbas attack. Only now when the Russians are barely moving forward and recently are being pushed back slowly are most people acknowledging that the Russians are deep in shit. Well except for the folks at the Duran who are so far up Putin's ass that they'll spin this offensive as having limited success for high casualties and that everything lost by the Russians here will be retaken eventually.

  7.  @franktower9006  You can't hope to succeed with an armored push like this, without air superiority or at least an operational, effective air force - something that's not available to the AFU anymore. I guess that explains why the Russians have made such slow progress the past several months in their Donbas offensive and have relied so much on their artillery and missile forces. Because their airforce has largely been unable to gain air superiority and have been forced to be careful in coming too close to Ukrainian lines for fear of getting shot down. If the Ukrainian counter offensive gets stuck at the rivers and can't push on to the next objectives, the Russians will pick them apart with attack helicopters, ground attack planes, artillery and missiles. The Russian airforce hasn't been able to attack UA forces in a close support role in any real tangible way since the beginning of the war. Most of their strikes have been at long distances so that they don't get shot out of the sky by UA anti-air missiles. If the Russians are going to push the Ukrainians back its going to be mostly with soldiers and artillery as they've been doing during their Donbas offensive.

  8.  @cruiser6260  it was only the western media saying ukr has no chance in Feb, March. Obviously nato prepared for 8 yrs for this war. ALMOST EVERYONE was saying Ukrainians had no chance from the very beginning. From actual intelligence agencies down to armchair generals on Youtube and everywhere in between, nearly everyone was speculating WHEN and not IF the Ukrainian army would eventually break and cease to be an effective fighting force. The Duran channel before the invasion began didn't think the Russians would even really invade and said that the west was fearmongering when they kept reporting that the Russians looked like they were going to attack. Then when the invasion did actually happen, The Duran changed their tune and started talking about what would happen AFTER the fighting had ended because they were so sure that the Ukrainians wouldn't last beyond a few weeks at most. The point is there were plenty of people like the Duran who predicted this would be a relative easy victory and few gave the UA forces a chance long term. If you can find me even a few whether they're government or legit intelligence sources or armchair generals on Youtube or elsewhere that said from the beginning that the Ukrainians could stand up to the Russians and WOULD choose to do so instead of eventually folding, then please post the links to those people here. I'd really like to see it. Maybe there's 1 or 2 people out of a thousand who predicted this wouldn't be a short fight, but I doubt you'll even find 5% of people who stated that on the first day of the invasion. Again if you can find people who said this, please post it here so I can read it and give them their props.

  9.  @cruiser6260  you're asking me to prove a negative which is impossible. I guess a lot of commenters you saw all believed the msm. My point is that if there were any significant number of people who believed that the Ukrainians would hold out for longer than a few weeks and that eventually the Russians wouldn't win they were certainly in the very small minority that it would be difficult to find them saying so when the invasion started. The general opinion from most people from professional intelligence agencies to armchair generals is that the great Russian bear would overwhelm the Ukrainians eventually. Now if you look at Russia total military in number of ships, aircraft and vehicles and nukes and imagine all that brought to bear on ukr as shock and awe, then it's obvious going to be over in a few weeks. If instead you look at only 160k force and the size of Ukraine as im land mass, plus the second largest army in Europe after turkey, it's going to protracted. I believe at the time of the invasion the number of troops invading Ukraine was 200k plus from what I've heard. Also of course the story would be different if the Russians threw everything into the invasion, but they obviously couldn't do that when they have to keep a certain amount of troops back to defend and secure the rest of Russia and it takes a fair amount when its such a large country. Its pretty clear that the Russians believed that their troops would be better trained and equipped than their Ukrainian counterparts and that their aircraft and heavy equipment advantage would compensate for their smaller number of soldiers. And I'm pretty sure they didn't believe that Ukrainian army resistance wouldn't be so fierce and widespread as it turned out to be. And who knows maybe if the Russians weren't so ambitious and actually attacked the Donbas region and perhaps the south to Odessa perhaps they might've pulled it off. Or maybe if they had brought in alot more artillery and missile forces and bombarded the Ukrainians relentlessly from the beginning to try and break their lines and their spirit before moving in their armored forces they also might've succeeded. That's all in the past though and its too late to change things. Already I see ukr getting smarter with becoming more like guerrilla and insurgents already. My most likely guess is this will go on and on until it escalates to direct war with NATO. I don't doubt that the war can continue for a long while yet, but I DO doubt that NATO forces would get involved in the war and actually fight the Russians in direct combat especially on the ground. That would be insane and it would also be a guaranteed defeat for the Russians.
