Stopped

And he wrote this after soldiers started bitching about no fortifications lines

@Szia_uram who could had predicted that all those fortification are as real as billion Czech shells ?

He posted many videos like this telling Vovchansk won't fall

That city is so close to Russia that no defence lines were going to hold it so no wonder Russian let them construct these

Instead of admitting they did this, they again started bs stories that Russian shot them self, in 2024.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_December_2023_Belgorod_shelling

So they in the past used unguided rm-70 MRLS to hit Belgorod but today it wasn't them because it doesn't suits their rhetorics ?

They just lost 9 villages around Kharkov, they are short on manpower and they motivate Russian

So, of course, all this “we beat the Russians, we did not lose a single position” after merely 24 hours of fighting in northern Kharkiv was far too early. Latest reports indicate Russian advances, the loss of Krasne and the battle that started for #Hlyboke around 14:00 today. pic.twitter.com/8xudPF8ZXN

I obviously already made fun of it:

https://rdrama.net/h/slavshit/post/268103/ukrainian-defense-forces-have-stabilised-situation

Julian jihad continues:

Ukrainian army bloggers now also admit, some forces surrendered to the Russians, some withdrew without permission and some positions had to be left due to “the strong pressure of the Russians”.

➡️What we see in northern Kharkiv is the beginning of Donbas 2.0.

➡️Costly, bloody, slow but steady Russian human and mechanized waves that cannot be stopped with the current strategy, number of people and arms in service.

➡️Ukraine needs more and better weapons plus mass mobilization of 250.000 soldiers NOW.

Let's start with the fact that Putin has already failed in his objective. He wanted to flatten Ukraine. He wanted to ensure that they had no sovereignty, independence, agency, no democratic future

How it's possible to start a statement with so many contradiction ? Putin is right now bombing Ukraine and doing it better than in 2022 or 2023. So statement that Putin failed is at this point wrong. Then talking about Ukrainian sovereignty, independence and democracy future when they fully depend on western help to exist and democracy when the election was cancelled by Zelenskyy because Zakuzhnyy is more popular ?

Can Ukraine succeed? Absolutely. Can Ukraine come out of this more sovereign, more economically independent, stronger, more European than it is now? Absolutely. And I think it will. But we've got to stay with it. We've got to make sure our allies stay with it.

And we have to accelerate a lot of the initiatives that were in the supplemental, like helping Ukraine build that highly deterrent military force of the future, like deploying these longer-range weapons to strategic effect, like ensuring that the critical infrastructure and the energy sector are protected, like building up our own defense industrial base and that of our allies and Ukraine's again, so that we and Ukraine are building faster than Russia and China.

This part reads like is 2022 and khohols weren't pumped with almost 500 billions and given all kinds of range weapons. I mean Ukraine is somehow in 2022 because it was last time they had any success but still. And part with building faster than Russia and China is just pure cope.

>But can it get all its territory back, including Crimea?

It can definitely get to a place where it's strong enough, I believe, and where Putin is stymied enough to go to the negotiating table from a position of strength. It'll be up to the Ukrainian people what their territorial ambitions should be. But there are certain things that are existential.

Any deal that they cut in their interest and in the larger global interest has to be a deal that Putin is compelled to stick to. We can't be doing this every six months, every three years. It has to actually lead to a deal that includes Russian withdrawal.

Offer to Putin absolute capitulate without having power to force him do this = Putin doesn't want to negotiate true kwin of diplomacy

>Was it a mistake not to push the Ukrainians harder to go for some sort of negotiated end to the war in 2022, especially the fall of 2022?

They were not in a strong enough position then. They're not in a strong enough position now. The only deal Putin would have cut then, the only deal that he would cut today, at least before he sees what happens in our election, is a deal in which he says, “What's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable.” And that's not sustainable.

I love how she act like Ukrainian situation today is similar to 2022. Not mentioning back then Ukraine had power of sanctions and western help with billions games changers so there was hints Russia could lose but in 2024 Ukraine has shortage of manpower, epic western help is a norm that just keep Ukraine alive in comatose form. And then China now helps Russia more and more. So she needs to be honest, Ukraine bussy is in worse shape today. And sustainable is probably fight to last Ukrainian and then still lose ?

That works if you have a leadership that is fundamentally accepting the current system. But once you have leaders who are telling their populations that this system keeps their country down, doesn't allow it to have its rightful place that has a territorial definition of greatness, that is bent on economic, political and or military coercion — that's antithetical to this order, and then our policy has to change.

I don't think higher tariffs ever existed in history

>leaders who are telling their populations that this system keeps their country down, doesn't allow it to have its rightful place

>What is the lesson we should learn about foreign policy in general when it comes to the experiences we've had in Russia and China?

We should always try to talk both to leaders and to people, to the extent that we're allowed. We should always offer an opportunity to work together in common interest.

Russia capitulate immediately! China you can't surpass us in economical market !

Always offer and opportunity to work together

>Do you ever plan to go back into government?

I love what I did for 35 years. I've always loved it. And I continue to love it. So in the right circumstances, of course.

She announced she retiring and then writes about right circumstances

I legit laughed when I seen those Arabs

This whole territory taken by the Russian armed forces for 35 hours is 242 km²

Where are all epic western media hype like during spring counteroffensive offensive:

The Ukrainian counteroffensive initially drew comparisons to D-Day, with the operation seen as a pivotal moment in the war that would influence the outcome.[322][323] Analysts regarded successes as unequivocally demonstrating that Western military aid to Ukraine was justified and that a comprehensive Ukrainian victory was possible, which would encourage further aid.

Ukraine moved 5cm and it was the biggest shit:

Robotyne is first Ukrainian breach in Russian lines of defense

@Szia_uram what is Belgorod offensive doing ? It was hilarious seen you happy back then like how low IQ must you been thinking it won't end up like this ?

Also a future video from volchansl got posted

Dvinatsate nole patu = 12/05

Everything is fine in volchansk

Neighbor got me worried I was like “frick did I just sleep a whole day ?”

Yet

Russian entered the city Volchansk and captured couple of other village so what exactly didn't extended ?

Meanwhile ISW has no idea what to write

https://twitter.com/thestudyofwar/status/1789118112031285696

Then he started coping about how Russia can't capture small country Ukraine (that is second biggest in Europe) he also ignored how the country getting more aid that allies got lend lease in ww2. Then went with other copes to in the end accept that U.S. takes part in this conflict. But he had to of course go and make a post out if contexts missing the part where he shit on Russia and of course he didn't mentioned that US couldn't capture a country weaker and smaller than Ukraine “Vietnam” and Vietcong were never as weak as khohols forces are now

@DaddyReagan you always looking at shit how it suits you but this conflict will be like 10th L since start of this century that US got

But we are at point where money can't fix their lack of manpower. Polska managed to only deport 2 men yesterday back to Ukraine, that's not enough
