i wonder how many lives have been lost trying to take this strategically insignificant town?

There are an unending supply of videos detailing what’s happening to Russian troops here and it’s rough. They will loose thousands of lives trying to capture the town. Ukraine has significant surveillance advantages with night and thermal vision so they see them coming every time. It’s like being ordered to storm trenches in WW1.

AFU recon mission


Interesting how tactics have changed since my days in the shit. Some good, some bad. One thing that hasn't changed though is the art of staying alive to see another day. I saw how fighting fear with humor that calms the nerves and makes the adrenaline shakes go away never changed and having buddies close at hand is as priceless as it ever was.

The idea that Ukraine would somehow bankrupt the US is laughable. If anything it shows just how far ahead we are. For the cost of a fraction of our yearly military expenditures we have destroyed almost the entire offensive capacity of the Russian army, which was supposed to be our closest peer. We could do this ten times over and not feel it in any significant way.

Thanks Biden.

Just take a moment to think about it.

Just think about it for a brief moment.

We have $68 billion in Ukraine.

Trump soaked us for $7.8 trillion.

Turns out, having a rich criminal steal $7.8 trillion was not enough to put us under, although it certainly did some nasty things to inflation.

A few billion doesn't matter one way or another.


If Trump can run up a few trillion to pad his buddies pockets, we can spend a few billion on freedom in Ukraine.

It's like there is some super secret underground bunker in Bakhmut. What the hell is point otherwise?

Glory for Wagner's owner and leader. Which will play well inside Russia's ultranationalist factions in a post-Putin scenario. Which is why there is some movement in Russia for other forces...


Multiple Russian warlords. What could possibly go wrong in a nuclear state?

You know how when you're playing a 4x/grand strategy game and at some point you win, but it lets you keep playing? That's basically us, won the con victory a few hundred rounds ago and now we're just seeing if we can win all the other victory conditions and prep the save for the space DLC.

Mobiks on the front line in UKR right now are basically the stack of doom from Civ2-4: once you clear the M1 tank class unit (July, basically), you now get about 18 following rounds of horsemen and axe warriors for your Special Forces/M1 tile to clear.

Yeah I doubt we had anything to do with that, just Putin being Putin, using assassination to send messages and steer outcomes. "Play ball Luka, or you're gone and your boy ain't inheriting shit"

Returning Ukrainians to the fold ain't happening, perhaps the Whites can serve as a consolation prize, end up letting Putin save what little face remains? Officially annexing them would be easier than fighting Ukrainians, would put some resources under direct control of Moscow that is tired of excuses and waiting.
