Russian Special Military Operation in the Ukraine - Mark IV: The Partitioning of Discussion

Fielding a tiny force of perhaps seven battalions, a navy which is largely imaginary and an air force of 30 fighters requires a defense budget of $15 billion dollars a year.

IIRC back in the 70s and 80s they were considered one of the finest armies in NATO in terms of training and discipline and fielded several brigades. So theoretically the Dutch military could be a whole lot better.

But that requires firing a bunch of useless bureaucrats (and not just in the military--EU armies are heavy on bureaucrats even compared to the US--but in the civilian world too) and admitting that Trump was right that NATO nations need to actually pay their fair share. And that would make the laptop caste very sad.

That is the stereotypical Cossack haircut which I remember being told is considered "racist" against Ukrainians. But here we have an actual salo-muncher wearing one on TV.

More likely scenario is slow and grueling process of restoring relations with the west, strengthening economic ties with china, and slow industrial evolution. Maybe return of everyone who fled draft back home. Maybe also start of terror attacks by whats what left of nazi ukrainians, maybe all across europe. Not exactly the revolution or golden age, just steady healing process, adaptation to the new world order.

Fucking hell. Do we even know if anyone managed to retreat or were they all wiped out?

As fapcop said, Russian sources are reporting a massive retreat. Specifically mention Azov retreating. Combined with videos of them being hit by artillery and harassed with grenade drones. They don't seem to be carrying much with them though. And you'd think they'd be using vehicles if they had them. Slowly walking away while under constant fire seems less than ideal.

Our soldiers are true professionals, not disturbed by the massive Russian firepower being flung at them and fighting hard to gain and maintain the corridor. One thing I teach my students is to conduct “shaping-operations”.

The only shaping operation they're doing is the choice of buttplug for the day. Fuck this massive faggot and his hohol Ubersoldiers. What a joke.

Toward the end, the real roads were all cut. The only way out was often heavily rutted dirt tracks across fields. Often fields with mines just off the track. The vehicles moved slowly and were often easy targets which attracted lots of fire. Each wrecked vehicle made the tracks more impassible.
Walking out seems like a really bad option. But often it can be a more survivable option versus vehicles. At least in this particular situation.

What are they gonna do now without the coke plant?

Isn't it obvious? Switch to fanta and build a plant for it behind their lines. Then if its ever threatened ukraine will be able to call upon the full fury of chris chan and all his CPU goddess power to use against the russians

Which somehow still manages to be a batter long term plan than what ukraine has been doing so far

One thing about Russia I love is their war songs and music. This one predates the SMO by several years:

Many, particularly in English speaking countries, somehow manage to outdo actual Ukrainians in hating Russia.

Ukrainian forces must develop multiple attack points and deceive the Russians about the location of their main effort. They could gain air superiority largely with drones and long-range air defense—pending receipt of a few more Patriot systems, as well as additional enhanced technology in electronic warfare and drones.

Hey old Nato guy! You mind publishing your failproof superstrategy in a few other e-rags, just to make sure it's sufficiently established? Don't worry, no one on the Russian side can comprehend anything in English. Or understand basic military planning.


Besides all that, why are you guys spergier than the SNAFU cope thread? I expected the opposite.
