You would think that after hearing 'Russia is out of ammo' for now 11 months, at least every other week, some of these people would say okay, fooled me once, fooled me twice, fooled me 10x times, this time I wont fall for very low effort propaganda like this...only for them to fall for it again. It's incredible. Complete inability to logically think about things in the world. Instead of questioning how utterly retarded it is that an army would be fighting with shovels against fully auto rifles and artillery (and somehow succeeding in Bakhmut) they really don't question it. Never mind the fact that this is modern warfare and the average kill is due to getting hit by artillery or an AK bullet from 60 meters away, so what the fuck are they even talking about with hand to hand combat?
What I find more interesting about this is how so much MSM seemingly has the same talking point being deployed all across. In a normal non-controlled news platform you tend to have different scoops, different news stories, different reporters talking about a wide range of things, whatever. Here you see as if some central overarching authority is saying here print this, this is the talking point we're pushing today, and dozens of outlets all spam publish 'Russians using shovels because out of ammo' story. Like where the fuck is investigative journalism? Or we've really reached this point in history that media independency is a complete sham and you have some alphabet agency behind the scenes directing what news is.
Bakhmut they fight like 5 months already?
If they had more ammo, they would have taken it much quicker.
Also Russia didnt manage to shutdown Ukraine energy system in the winter, although there was fear it could be very bad winter for Ukraine.
So yeah, they dont have a lot of ammo imo. Also Ukraine/NATO doesnt have a lot of ammo too.
So the war can possibly end this year.
In the battlefield there is a mess and chaos. In such a mess and chaos its possible to get close to somebody and hit him with melee weapon. You hide in a trench, somebody walks close, you attack him from behind. Its better to attack with a shovel than a bare hand combat.
