They made a play for forcing Ukraine to the table. Didn't work.

Anyone, even the colossal Russian megaminds who dreamed up this whole 'limited operation' thing, could see that the social/ethnic divisions in Ukraine are such that attempting to occupy all these Galician radicals on their home turf would be a disaster. The only people suggesting Russia had that in mind are the types who say Putin is going to use Ukraine as a springboard to invade Germany and reestablish the USSR.

It's absurd.


...and yet, the area around Kyiv is probably the most "radical" in the eyes of the orcs, and there's about a zero likelihood they could afford to leave the area "unsubdued" over the long term. Occupation was a necessity.

On principle of majority most are orcs, thus russian military is nothing else but an orc horde. Cry all you want.


On principle of majority most are neonazis, the ukrainian military is nothing but a modern day nazi horde. Cry all you want.

It's not realistic at all to assume missile production is increased. In fact, it's a much safer bet to assume it's decreased. They require specialized parts that are now much harder to source.

Again, I don't buy it. Russia has domestic chip producing capacity, and all I've seen is assertions by "Russia experts" who've been wrong about issue after issue during this war.

I gave you a detailed response to your previous post, go respond to that. Mindlessly repeating "it's down, they're fucked, any day now" isn't convincing me.

And? They weren't trying to occupy Kiev. They didn't even attempt to make a push into the city, they just sat on the outskirts exchanging artillery fire with the AFU.

Everything I've read about the standard amount of force required to take and hold a city suggest that Russia would have needed 10-20 times more troops near Kiev.

Chip production is just one bottleneck. They can't even make basics for their cars right now. Forget about advanced ballistics

Yes the same country which has been firing dozens of precision guided missiles daily and which has now massively ramped up strikes involving their use is apparently not capable of producing them :rofl:

Are all westerners this stupid? Nevermind, I already know the answer

So now you're threatening violence against my imaginary sister that doesn't exist? Man you need some serious help. Sadly very typical for Ukrainians - they are capable only of lashing out with violence when called out or questioned.
