Technically you are correct there is no "soviet doctrine" anymore. But the soviet doctrine was passed or has greatly influenced the post soviet era army. BTW I was in Germany in the US Army at the time as you. I ended up with 2/2 cav in Desert Storm and served under the legendary Douglas MacGregor. It's gratifying to see another army vet not brainwashed by neoCons.
Thank you, even I with very limited military knowledge thought that.

Willy completely ignoring that Russia invaded Ukraine using battalion tactical groups and is now using brigade tactical groups, this is a Russian not Soviet doctrine.
Land loss vs. land gains may be interesting but it is not what this war is about. Russia never said it wanted to conquer Ukraine, it said it wanted to demilitarise it. Casualties are more important then square kilometers. Around 70-80% of casualities have come from artillery. Having much more artillery has helped Russia, and lacking artillery has hurt Ukraine.
"Demilitarising" doesn't mean killing all their soldiers, it means imposing a pacifist constitution on them after the war, as was done at the end of WW2.
@@garethmartin6522 Gareth, you wrote that demilitarisation means imposing a pacifist constition after a conflit ends .

@@edvsilas8281 No that's wrong. The use of "demilitarisation" to mean killing all the enemy troops is completely novel to this modern context.

Silly Willy. Russian doctrine is not about sustaining huge losses at the start of wars.what does he think 13:30 withdrawal from Kiev and Kherson was . It was about preserving the lives if there soldiers. Meanwhile Ukrainato prepared to lose thousands for the sake of PR and pieces of useless land. Was he really in the army?
Real war and whatever NATO-armies are doing are two fundamentally different things. "We" are used to winning heavily lopsided training excercises back home and dragooning some flip-flop wearing locals from neatly built bases in far away places; hell you could do whole tours in Afghanistan without ever seeing any insurgents.
He was in the army that’s not dienable, he’s geting better tho, he’s realised about Ukrainian bs, but still some core elements such as “Russian losses are crazy for their little success” type stuff, he’s way less pro-Ukrainian then before. I just hope he snaps out soon enough
Correct. Even during the Kerson offensive ukrain lost more men than Russia did . Russia withdrew using a artillery umbrella. I recall the interviews with Ukrainian commanders who said that when they got to where the Russian should be the Russians were gone but they (ukranians ) would be lambasted with artillery. He also went on today that for every shell they fired Russia would answer with 20. Russia managed to with draw keeping their forces intact. Also know that at this stage of war Russia was using around 190 000 men fighting a 600000 strong Ukranian army. Also many of the men on Russias side contracts were coming to an end and Russia needed to recruit and deploy new ones . When they regrouped and brought in that extra 300 000 Ukraine has been in the back foot ever since.
@@georgesibley7152Both MODs publish enemy losses in open sources, based on them, the losses of ukr are 1.6-1.8 times higher than those of RU. For some reason, Willy does not use this data, but carefully talks about it. During July ukr lose 60,000+.
When this war started the UKR troops were all Mydan supporters and devout followers of a certain ideology! New recruits, especially those forcibly recruited, do not share this ideology and therefore are less disposed to fight with the same ferocity.
Seems like it's gotten to a point which has the Ukraine leaders send those itching to fight to the frontlines knowing they'll not survive because they're the same guys who won't accept negotiations and will turn on Ukraine leadership for negotiations.
Yes, I remember Euromydan Revolution. One thing that's interesting is that Usually when a Revolution happens it's hard to quell, it took nearly six coalitions to bring down France; and it took USSR an intervention of four major powers in it's Civil war, WW2 and a long Coldwar to quell. In Comparison to France 1791-1814 USSR 1917-1991, the EUROMYDAN revolution has been so pathetic so far.
@@Ramtin-Blue_rose Those other revolutions were very different. The French revolution implicitly threatened all monarchs, and the Bolshevik revolution implicitly threatened all capitalist states. Whereas Maidan was just the overthrow of an unpopular ruler, not a change of system.
To believe that Russia was ever truly "on the back foot" or that they have experienced Soviet-style massive losses indicates a fundamental misinterpretation of this conflict.
@@dustinhamabata902 another argument against russian huge losses since they retreated from difficult positions, something ukraine kept refusing to do time after time

I started to question EU politics. The most important decisions are made by by invisible not elected people. It isn't democracy anymore. I used to be very much for Poland in EU participation, but now I am really starting to question this.
Willy, you know nothing of Soviet doctrine, stop making bs up. No sane commander would ever consider hurting their own army for the sake of "experience". Casualties don't transfer to experience. Look at what's happening to AFU. They must be SO experienced right now, according to you.
@@blehbleh5095 I added "off" that I missed. No, I'm pretty sure that he watched (as a kid) only movies were Russians are portrayed as dumb, evil, grossly incompetent, with no respect for the lives of their comrades, with even worse leaders. Because that's they only way you are allowed to portray Russians in media in the West. And he still believes in all that propaganda, even if unconsciously.
Every commander in the history of war had sacrificed their soldier for the sake of experience. wtf are the Russians doing sending group after group of armoured vehicles straight into opposition. It’s meatwaves.
Negotiations about territory will not begin until Ukraine as an independent state accepts neutrality (as they did in Istanbul but was overruled by the west)
What we tend to overlook is that once the Donbas is liberated there's little to nothing between the frontline and the Dnepr. The Ukies fortified Kiev, the border and the front line but nothing in the Hinterland; after the crawl throug Donbas it will essentially be a levy breaking and an unopposed wave flooding everything behind it due to the complete neglect of defense in depth.
depends on how quickly ukraine can extend the depth of the foritifications. they have so far shown a rather poor ability to do so but not a complete inability.
The idiotic practice of believing casualty numbers that AFU claim continues. With the depth of force currently employed by RU and the sheer scale of their artillery FABS missiles and air power it is simply impossible to imagine AFU having less casualties. They are very patient and risk averse with advances, and flattening ahead of advances. Its just the same old story...if retreating/defeated the claim is always they inflicted huge losses, or RU using human waves. Nothing seems to change.
The Russian suffered huge losses? Where is the proof of this? On your graph that shows when Ukraine took back the most land. Your April number is when Russia pulled back a lot in good faith because Kiev went into peace negotiations with them. In the second group that was when Russia pulled out of territory to consolidate their defensive lines knowing they did not have the troops to hold without large losses.

lol Willy leaning in heavy on the BS again - I thought the whole "Soviet human wave" tactics thing has already been debunked? For those of you wanting a more accurate breakdown of this, i recommend a RUclips channel called "Kay and Skittles"'s analysis on this one - he does a marvelous breakdown of the pr0p@g@nd@ using a great but historically flawed movie called "Enemy at the Gates" in his analysis.
@@KC.edits1 of course the Soviets used human wave tactic or similar in WW2. There are photos of infantry sent forward without effective suppression cover. Germans also did the same on occasions on the western front. There was one battle where German paratroopers charging at British machines. However, the Russians actually appear to be casualty adverse to me, exceptions being the initial poorly planned and executed chaos and Wagner.
Russia seems to advance about 4km towards pokrosvk a week & has accelerated recently, I think reaching pokrosvk is something that will happen in 21 days considering they are only 15km away from it, it’s grim for ukraine.
Point, though, is that 15km is way below artillery range - so you can start using that too. Yes, it is grim for Ukraine - but if anyone did not se that coming - blind is a word. It was clear from the start that the attrition works, helped by utterly stupid decisions on Ukraine side.
@@KC.edits1 The numbers are fake. They simply would be too high to hide and not influence the Russian army, also the # of attacker/defender losses assumes qualified and numrous defenders (not true anymore) and not heavy softening with insane weapons like the TOS or FAB3000. But generally the numbers are pure propaganda - I have heard Russia lost 1.8 MILLION soldiers. That is impossible with the numbers they operate - not only is it more than soldiers, but morale would be rock bottom. Realistic numbers show Russian dead under 100.000 so far.
@@KC.edits1 Whatever you think about Russian losses, imagine that Ukraine is suffering much much more losses. So if you imagine that Russia is running out of troops, the situation is much worse for Ukraine.. Of course Ukraine is forced conscripting any man that happen to show up on the streets while Russia is relying on volunteers, so Ukraine might have much more to lose.
Soviet doctrine lol, they haven't been using that doctrine for over a decade now Willy. Active Defense doctrine is where it is at, I suggest you inform yourself.
If that was the case, then with all the help Ukraine gets from the west game changing weapons and nato training, Ukraine would be marching on the streets of Moscow? Like zelensky🤡 said in the beginning?
well, they partly adhere to soviet doctrine still.. Artillery > All, no aggressive use of nukes, state owns defensive industries etc. just not the send untrained conscripts into machinegun fire by the hundreds.
@@SansSentiments "Artillery > All" is not soviet doctrine. It is how war looks like. Since Korea/Jugoslavia we did not had any normal war so we, normal people, forgot how it looks like.
I don’t believe those numbers. That would be entire military they started with … I don’t believe numbers thrown out for either side for the record . Probably closer to 350k to 450k
I am going to say it again, the number of defenses do NOT matter if the AFU does not have personnel to man them. The AFU is operating under the WWII German elastic defense doctrine, and NATO later adopted the same tactics. The problem is, you have to have a man/material advantage to make that type of doctrine succeed. The Russians did not run out of man/material before they reached Berlin, and I have a feeling Russia will not run out of men/material before reaching Lvov. I think the AFU/Zelensky see’s that, and why they are talking about a peace agreement
To late Willy ,Nu York Ukrainian forces are already in encircle there is no way out . The problem with Pokrovsk is that the Russians now deployed are fresh division /27th all veterans after 6 months of rest ,fully equip and ready to go/ the front will collapse ,the question is what is Russian objective...
Willy, the Ukraine gains were done through huge losses. We dont have good numbers on what happened. We do know that it was extremely costly. Even if the western countries helped out more, they would have still needed to contend with the loses and they just dont have the manpower to win a war with another larger, more populated, industrialized country.
You just gave us an analysis, and your opinion included the words "Sort of"? Fucking LOL mate. Myself and many others have been asking since the start, how can UA possibly hope to have any success against a country 4 x their size?
Remember Germany took on most of the western world and were unstoppable till they hit Russia? so size is nothing as its the heart of the fighter. Ukraine had a larger army before the Russian push. Look it up.
@@seeker2118Nope, it was the lack of oil that caused the loss of Germany & the way they treated occupied area which meant whatever little oil did have was gone by partisan activities
Keep in mind, in 1941 compared to 1943, germany had more tanks in 1943, they only lost because they couldn’t run the bloody thing & had no damn oil due to UK naval blocking, the uk, partisans, soviets mainly, & the USA all played their own role.

The picture shown of F16 is a photo shop. pro-Ukrainians channel of Denis provided clarified it in his video broadcasted this morning, as a photo shop.
The problem with supplying items to improve performance on the front line is that it does not improve performance on the bottom line. There is little profit to be made on selling a soldier's basic kit, but there is big profit to be made selling jet aircraft, runway improvements and missiles. To the collective west, the money in the bottom line of the military industrial suppliers is more important the troops on the front line.
Shortly after start of the war , Ukrain did nothing gain or take back lost territories ,Russians retreted due to Kiev and Moscow peace plan ,which shortly aftrer Russian forces withdraw from Kiev Ukrain did not keep its promise, Please do not give the empty credit to Ukrainian Army,
As to losses, there’s little publicity about exchanges of dead. The latest was today or yesterday. 38 russian soldiers for 250 ukrainian. Not sure about propaganda from both sides, but these exchanges are like 5:1. This one even 6:1
Willy returns to the myths of the great victories of the Ukr and when they should have negotiated? As always, he makes a bill without an innkeeper aka Rus. It is not a question of when the Ukr should have negotiated, but when the Rus will decide to negotiate and how much it will cost the Ukro in terms of territory and political-economic concessions.

Once again about the Soviet war doctrine Willy. You need to get your facts straight. There were no huge Russian casualties at the start of the war nor now. Russian war doctrine is not based on suffering huge casualties. That was WW2 tactic. You need to get up to speed.
The Ukrainian head of Drones says Russia has the advantage in drones, they have simply more. Russia also has an air advantage. How is Russia suffering heavy losses in Kharkiv? Ukraine is being destroyed when they try to resupply across the river. Ukrainian soldiers are hiding in the cellars while Fabs rain down on them. we get constant reports of Russia bombing the Ukrainian reserves outside The frontline. How are they killing Russians there? The units that were well-equipped were still beaten.
Never tought russia could storm avdiivka, too much fortifications. Taking avdiivka was really to me a great tactical success that seems to be turning strategical.
symbolic attacks are just dumb when all other indicators are showing your losing all but slowly...its the equivalent of kicking your opponent in the nuts, then expecting him to forget about it when he's got you beaten and on the ground pleading for mercy...its basically the V2 rocket program all over again...

Enough of the propaganda ... please give some perspective your information then becomes useful.
They chose to fight so let’s let them to continue. Some of us were called names like Russian bot whenever we say dialogue for peace. Well go on Ukraine you are winning
In Kiev they are talking battle of the Bulge Zelenskyy style. Zelenskyy will make another attempt to recapture Zaporozhe nuclear plant (this time with a series of frontal meat wave attacks and F-16s) with some diversion offensive in Kharkov region. It sounds as crazy as was his previous failed offensive in 2023 or Bakhmut and Krinky lunacies.
The comments are 'good' today so my general comment is as follows. One, Russia does not deliberately incur casualties, it has excessive losses because of it's top down command structure, the Russian attitude and a general lack of suitable training. These negative influences have been moderated to some extent by the make do skills of those at the sharp end and the sheer amount of firepower and equipment that they possess Two, Ukraine has suffered reverses mainly due to insufficient and quality support from NATO. It's initial stoppage of the Russian attack, which was supposed to be a fait accompli, demonstrated that they were worthy of the best possible support. Claims that they are not are simply either excusive or enemy motivated. Three, Biden has shown that his organisation is incapable of ascertaining what is needed by Ukraine, has demonstrated a lack of the will to win and a absence of that characteristic 'can do' attitude that the US used to have and which worked so well for them.
Why do you keep saying Ukraine had artificial artillery shortages because of held up aid. No dude you have it backwards, when theres no aid thats Ukraines actual capabilities. When my country gives them artillery we're making it artificially higher. You speak as if whats Americas is also Ukraines like they're entitled to my nations resources and weaponry. Shit really pisses me off. Ukraine didn't have artificial shell shortages
Your missing the salient point on the prisioner exchange. The Kiev regime was not involved, they were completely out of the loop. This is devastating news for Selenski. Means things are happening behind the scenes with Kiev sidelined.
The guys that defended Prohres was territorial brigade, not the best and the result shown. Most Ukrainian elite units are diverted to the north to lodge Russian out of Kharkiv area, but due to these there are holes all over the frontline which the Russian use to their advantage. As for Zaporizhzhia area, many agree that Russian incremental gain there are mainly used to tie Ukrainian troops from moving to other directions. Some suggest that Russian plan for Zaporizhzhia is to breakthrough Vuhledar from the east which will increase the chance of the whole southern front collapsing in Russian favor. As for superiority there are rumors that Russia is actually have numbers advantage now, and it shows! Some say there are as many 300k Ukrainian troops vs 500k Russian, but this is still rumors. I blame Syrskyi with his 2 time epic fail move to take krynky that result nothing more than losses for the Ukrainian. It was better when Zaluzhnyi was in charge!
Btw how can RF Army lose so manny soldiers if RF has 10 to 1 artilery?That smells on cheap UA/NATO propaganda.NATO have show us what for papertiger they are,they are pathetic and cowards ffs.
Willy, you know nothing of Soviet Doctrine. Soviet doctrine NEVER advocated heavy personnel losses. Machines were disposable, troops were not. Russia has been incredibly casualty adverse both in regards to its own troops and civilians. Stop with the propaganda.
Are not many of the large "gains", you describe Ukraine as making in 2022, territories from which the Russians voluntarily withdrew as a gesture of goodwill following the initialling of the Istanbul agreement? An agreement that the Ukrainians welshed on.
Russian advances through defensive lines built up since 2014 will obviously be a slow process. If they are successful Ukraine will obviously lose a lot of men and machines. After these slow advances Ukraine will have nowhere to hide. Their defences as they retreat will always be weaker than their lost fortresses. Eventually Russia will advance quickly against these weaker defence lines when Ukraine's army will lose morale and either be destroyed or surrender or capitulate. Even top Ukrainian commanders say they cannot push Russia out so why wait to negotiate, why should soldiers sacrifice their lives when their commanders are telling them then CANNOT win this war?
this isn´t for the first time, ukraine closed valves. they did that long before a war many times, even during winter. maybe because of that hungary and slovakia isn´t very supportive. when you are blackmailing people with gas, which isn´t even yours dont expect them to be friendly to you :D btw. small part of ukraine is historically part of slovakia, other is part of hungary, other part of poland... but you can provoke us, of course :D
objectivly true? come on man... those are facts. shame this shit is still going on. Hope all the best for the Ukranian and Russian people. It could all have been avoided or at least less than what it became, but when you have a comedian in power, these things tend to happen

When this war started the UKR troops were all Mydan supporters and devout followers of a certain ideology! New recruits, especially those forcibly recruited, do not share this ideology and therefore are less disposed to fight with the same ferocity.
🎯
Seems like it's gotten to a point which has the Ukraine leaders send those itching to fight to the frontlines knowing they'll not survive because they're the same guys who won't accept negotiations and will turn on Ukraine leadership for negotiations.
Just to be precise, that ideology was white supremacy. Germany's legacy boys.
Yes, I remember Euromydan Revolution. One thing that's interesting is that Usually when a Revolution happens it's hard to quell, it took nearly six coalitions to bring down France; and it took USSR an intervention of four major powers in it's Civil war, WW2 and a long Coldwar to quell.
In Comparison to France 1791-1814 USSR 1917-1991, the EUROMYDAN revolution has been so pathetic so far.
@@Ramtin-Blue_rose Those other revolutions were very different. The French revolution implicitly threatened all monarchs, and the Bolshevik revolution implicitly threatened all capitalist states. Whereas Maidan was just the overthrow of an unpopular ruler, not a change of system.
To believe that Russia was ever truly "on the back foot" or that they have experienced Soviet-style massive losses indicates a fundamental misinterpretation of this conflict.

Negotiations about territory will not begin until Ukraine as an independent state accepts neutrality (as they did in Istanbul but was overruled by the west)
What we tend to overlook is that once the Donbas is liberated there's little to nothing between the frontline and the Dnepr. The Ukies fortified Kiev, the border and the front line but nothing in the Hinterland; after the crawl throug Donbas it will essentially be a levy breaking and an unopposed wave flooding everything behind it due to the complete neglect of defense in depth.
depends on how quickly ukraine can extend the depth of the foritifications. they have so far shown a rather poor ability to do so but not a complete inability.
“Can this be stopped?”
No.
Zelensky inspected new fortifications near the Polish border yesterday. It doesn't look like he's preparing for victory
😂😂
Either that, or Medvedev's peace formula is looming closer
The idiotic practice of believing casualty numbers that AFU claim continues.
With the depth of force currently employed by RU and the sheer scale of their artillery FABS missiles and air power it is simply impossible to imagine AFU having less casualties.
They are very patient and risk averse with advances, and flattening ahead of advances.
Its just the same old story...if retreating/defeated the claim is always they inflicted huge losses, or RU using human waves. Nothing seems to change.
The Russian suffered huge losses? Where is the proof of this? On your graph that shows when Ukraine took back the most land. Your April number is when Russia pulled back a lot in good faith because Kiev went into peace negotiations with them.
In the second group that was when Russia pulled out of territory to consolidate their defensive lines knowing they did not have the troops to hold without large losses.

@@KC.edits1 of course the Soviets used human wave tactic or similar in WW2. There are photos of infantry sent forward without effective suppression cover. Germans also did the same on occasions on the western front. There was one battle where German paratroopers charging at British machines.
However, the Russians actually appear to be casualty adverse to me, exceptions being the initial poorly planned and executed chaos and Wagner.
@zengfamily8390 "of course the USSR used human waves, trust me bro "
Russia seems to advance about 4km towards pokrosvk a week & has accelerated recently, I think reaching pokrosvk is something that will happen in 21 days considering they are only 15km away from it, it’s grim for ukraine.
Point, though, is that 15km is way below artillery range - so you can start using that too. Yes, it is grim for Ukraine - but if anyone did not se that coming - blind is a word. It was clear from the start that the attrition works, helped by utterly stupid decisions on Ukraine side.
@@ThomasTomiczek quite true! only thing that doesn’t make me confident in Russian victory is the question of Russian losses.
I don't believe Russia loses as much as western media portrays
@@KC.edits1 The numbers are fake. They simply would be too high to hide and not influence the Russian army, also the # of attacker/defender losses assumes qualified and numrous defenders (not true anymore) and not heavy softening with insane weapons like the TOS or FAB3000.
But generally the numbers are pure propaganda - I have heard Russia lost 1.8 MILLION soldiers. That is impossible with the numbers they operate - not only is it more than soldiers, but morale would be rock bottom.
Realistic numbers show Russian dead under 100.000 so far.
@@KC.edits1 Whatever you think about Russian losses, imagine that Ukraine is suffering much much more losses.

I am going to say it again, the number of defenses do NOT matter if the AFU does not have personnel to man them. The AFU is operating under the WWII German elastic defense doctrine, and NATO later adopted the same tactics. The problem is, you have to have a man/material advantage to make that type of doctrine succeed. The Russians did not run out of man/material before they reached Berlin, and I have a feeling Russia will not run out of men/material before reaching Lvov. I think the AFU/Zelensky see’s that, and why they are talking about a peace agreement

@patrickbateman312 then why are the ukrainians the only Ones constantly encircled?
No. It can't be stopped.
The comments are 'good' today so my general comment is as follows. One, Russia does not deliberately incur casualties, it has excessive losses because of it's top down command structure, the Russian attitude and a general lack of suitable training. These negative influences have been moderated to some extent by the make do skills of those at the sharp end and the sheer amount of firepower and equipment that they possess
Two, Ukraine has suffered reverses mainly due to insufficient and quality support from NATO. It's initial stoppage of the Russian attack, which was supposed to be a fait accompli, demonstrated that they were worthy of the best possible support. Claims that they are not are simply either excusive or enemy motivated. Three, Biden has shown that his organisation is incapable of ascertaining what is needed by Ukraine, has demonstrated a lack of the will to win and a absence of that characteristic 'can do' attitude that the US used to have and which worked so well for them.
BHAHAHAHAH 🤡

Why do you keep saying Ukraine had artificial artillery shortages because of held up aid. No dude you have it backwards, when theres no aid thats Ukraines actual capabilities. When my country gives them artillery we're making it artificially higher. You speak as if whats Americas is also Ukraines like they're entitled to my nations resources and weaponry. Shit really pisses me off. Ukraine didn't have artificial shell shortages
Your missing the salient point on the prisioner exchange. The Kiev regime was not involved, they were completely out of the loop. This is devastating news for Selenski. Means things are happening behind the scenes with Kiev sidelined.
I do not believe he is surprised. It is obvious he is nobody.
The guys that defended Prohres was territorial brigade, not the best and the result shown. Most Ukrainian elite units are diverted to the north to lodge Russian out of Kharkiv area, but due to these there are holes all over the frontline which the Russian use to their advantage. As for Zaporizhzhia area, many agree that Russian incremental gain there are mainly used to tie Ukrainian troops from moving to other directions. Some suggest that Russian plan for Zaporizhzhia is to breakthrough Vuhledar from the east which will increase the chance of the whole southern front collapsing in Russian favor. As for superiority there are rumors that Russia is actually have numbers advantage now, and it shows! Some say there are as many 300k Ukrainian troops vs 500k Russian, but this is still rumors. I blame Syrskyi with his 2 time epic fail move to take krynky that result nothing more than losses for the Ukrainian. It was better when Zaluzhnyi was in charge!
Btw how can RF Army lose so manny soldiers if RF has 10 to 1 artilery?That smells on cheap UA/NATO propaganda.NATO have show us what for papertiger they are,they are pathetic and cowards ffs.
Willy didn't watch the whole thing when 90K went far to push negotiates and pulled back when it was promised! Toted as a great Ukro victory 😅
Willy, you know nothing of Soviet Doctrine. Soviet doctrine NEVER advocated heavy personnel losses. Machines were disposable, troops were not.
Russia has been incredibly casualty adverse both in regards to its own troops and civilians. Stop with the propaganda.
Don't question the narrative. Meat waves! Meat waves!!
Are not many of the large "gains", you describe Ukraine as making in 2022, territories from which the Russians voluntarily withdrew as a gesture of goodwill following the initialling of the Istanbul agreement? An agreement that the Ukrainians welshed on.
Russian advances through defensive lines built up since 2014 will obviously be a slow process. If they are successful Ukraine will obviously lose a lot of men and machines. After these slow advances Ukraine will have nowhere to hide. Their defences as they retreat will always be weaker than their lost fortresses. Eventually Russia will advance quickly against these weaker defence lines when Ukraine's army will lose morale and either be destroyed or surrender or capitulate. Even top Ukrainian commanders say they cannot push Russia out so why wait to negotiate, why should soldiers sacrifice their lives when their commanders are telling them then CANNOT win this war?
High casualties doesn’t lead to greater experience or a more effective military. This should be obvious although not to Willy.
Of course Mearshweimer is right, why first loose land then negotiate? Oh OK Russia could have collapsed. Let's be unreasonable.
This is one of your best Willy
