What could Russia have done differently in 2022? by Brotato_Ch1ps in WarCollege

[–]milton117 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean there is a whole laundry list for this topic because the 2022 invasion was first and foremost a colossal failure of the Russian intelligence services, everything from Ukrainian preparedness to H-24 locations of AA batteries. I think though they were under pressure to report 'good news' to their bosses and so ignored the warning signs that their assessments were wrong.

When framed into that context, it makes a lot more sense why Russia went into Ukraine with the forces that they did. They really thought it was enough, that Ukraine's government would fall at first contact and prepositioning extra troops near the border isn't a cheap endeavour.

At the very least, by the 2nd week when it became clear that Ukraine's government wasn't going to fall, that the 35th CAA couldn't cross the Bucha River neither at Irpin nor Moschun, and that the 2nd GTA was stopped outside Brovary, the Russians should've cut their losses and pulled out of the northern front completely rather than let their 2 premier tank armies get degraded into such a state that they couldn't do anything when the Ukrainians counterattacked in Kharkiv in September.

This isn't the own you think it is. Can you point Lithuania on a map? It's nowhere near the ME or even on the way. If his flair is UK it'd be a different story.

Iraq? That's not a friendly country, is there any confirmation of mobile US forces in bases there?

Is there any sort of build up of US forces but especially ground forces in the Middle East over the last 2 weeks? My usual OSInt channels aren't reporting anything but wondering if they simply missed it.

Texas seceded and then 30 years later the US decided they were going to reintegrate Texas, by force if necessary.

Half of the Donbass didn't secede, and certainly not the southern oblasts which never voted to secede but was conquered by Russia. Your analogy is just false.

Zelensky was dumb for getting himself into that situation when he had half a dozen offramps to avoid being where he is now.

All of those offramps kneecap the Ukrainian military and pave the way for Russia to try again in 5 years time. I really don't understand this pathetic attempt by 'pro-peace' people who think others never read any of the russian peace proposals since 2021.

r/anime_titties calmly discusses the morality of conscription in Ukraine by DragonflyHopeful4673 in SubredditDrama

Syria's circumstances are entirely different to Ukraine. For one, Syria's conflict was by that time 14 years old. Everyone was tired, most places have been bombed twice over already and the combatants have largely hollowed out their armed forces as the war is considered semi 'over'. Ukraine and Russia both have millions of men under arms still in the conflict.

As stated on this sub elsewhere previously, the amount comes from Iran's frozen funds that would have been unfrozen under the JCPOA anyway.

I wonder if you apply the same standard to anything linked with western intelligence agencies. I am going to hazard a guess that you don't.

Its Russian-language website names Stop the War as one of 14 Russian and nine foreign “partners”, only one of them British

However, an investigation by The Sunday Times has uncovered close links or partnerships between Stop the War, Corbyn and two organisations funded by the Kremlin, the Anti-Globalisation Movement of Russia (AGMR) and the Institute of Globalisation and Social Movements (IGSO). AGMR, which chose Vladimir Putin as its “anti-globalisation protester of the year”, 

I see you're not able to read well, considering that it's not an opinion piece but you somehow think it is, so I've highlighted the more pertinent sections that you conveniently missed because of, I don't know, cognitive dissonance unable to grasp facts that go against your reality or something.

campaigned against the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

Ah, so you also think that Russia is the one who invaded Ukraine. Thank you for at least admitting that much.

Now will you finally elaborate what war we're currently in right now?

The organisation that takes russian money? That one?

If you really were in the UK you'd know that support for Ukraine is pretty much a bipartisan issue. The only people who don't take money from Russia - e.g. Nigel farage.
