We couldn't give everybody all of what they needed, so we needed to prioritize, which means somebody gets shorted, which angered Stalin.

We never "strung them along". And now you're saying we purposely increased Russian beyond what was necessary throughout the war? You seriously need to quit listening to or reading whatever you've been reading because you are woefully being misled and are incredibly ignorant on the topic you're commenting on. But that is your schtick.houndawg wrote: ↑Wed Aug 31, 2022 3:07 pm
Not giving them significant game-changers is stringing them along and letting them take more losses than necessary.Obviously we wanted the Russians to take as much of the German army away from our front as possible.

Russia had the same problem they're having right now in Ukraine - their manufacturing base can't supply their war effort, e.g., they have to buy drones from Iran.

Brilliant move to make an armored assault across open steppe when the enemy is dug in their artillery has you out ranged and out gunned. Absolutely brilliant.

In a mere few days?
How about your "Donbas pincer" that has been promised for months. Only 30 km from Popasna to Bakhmut... and they've barely budged.

Now back to that Kherson offensive:
Saw an Brit article claiming Zelensky over-ruled his generals on moving forward with the offensive.
Jelly, you going to mention that failed amphibious assault by Ukraine on the nuke plant that the UN inspectors were heading to, or nah? Seriously, some of these decisions to throw Ukrainian troops and hardware away on operations with a low chance of success are mind boggling.
Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Same dude that was doom and gloom about Kyiv falling, do I have that right?
And sorry, you're gonna need some verification for this "amphibious assault" that isn't originating from a Russian Telegram or Qanon or whatever other bullshit you ingest
Again, imagine rooting for these clowns

Shitting on the "EuKrAiNe Is WiNnInG" narrative <> rooting for Russia. My stance has always been to stay out of this quagmire, but now our brilliant leadership is sending billions of dollars and mountains military hardware for a proxy war against Russia...a proxy war that can now obviously not be won without direct boots on the ground.
Top if off we now know that Bojo scuttled a peace deal that could have been made back in April that would have ended this carnage. But no, the elites want forever war because it's not their kids doing the fighting and it gets them richer.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Russia is winning so hard that it’s opponent is only able to launch two offensives at one time.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Russia posted pictures of a barge saying it was used as part of a failed amphibious assault. Seems dubious.

Sorry - I was just recalling your reaction when CID tried to steer you toward OSINT right after the Russians were executing civilians. I don't recall you actually using the word "hoax" but you weren't buying no OSINT back then. I think thats where you and SD earned your "reek2 and reek3" sobriquet.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Russia has had to resort to buying back ammo they sold to North Korea, at a steep mark up.

They don't have the manufacturing base to support their third-world military.
