Firstly, reported.

Allow me to put this in context, and you tell me who is being unreasonable.

The Russian military failed at combined arms warfare, large scale manoeuvre and logistics in regards to the battles around Kiev. Eg in Bucha, Irpin and Hostomel
Ukrainian military using not much more than TOW missiles stopped the columns of unfuelled Russian tanks stretching for 40km, in some cases; And you expect no pushback on claiming that it was all a feint?

That is not realistic.

I will heed your advice. My sleep problems are only difficult past 4 to 5 months. I don't take it regularly.
I will check out zopiclone

no amount of combined arms will allow a 180k army make big consolable gains on a 40million popu, 600.000 km2 with a decent military (AA, fires, art, etc). This is mathematics. Where they had decent troop concentration (south), they made GIGANTIC gains, they reached Mykolaiv in less than a week.

Considering all of this, even taking crimean landbridge is a surprise (in my eyes). Imagine the gains in the south, if there was 300k on that axis alone with planned out logistics ( which there should´ve been, if putin wasn´t a copium loser without a plan B ), odessa would´ve been gone, and this war over in a month.

I had to double check it but yes, the BMW brand was still the top export from UK domestic manufacture to foreign export markets as of 2021, but only the 3rd largest for production. Those numbers vary year to year so I had to check again

Agree with some of what your saying. None of what you've said proves the attempts to surround Kiev and secure a sustained land bridge was a feint. It was a failure, for the reasons you just laid out yourself.

The failure was a lack of men and artillery(logistics), which is because putin is a copium maximous, but slowly he is learning. Things like manuvering, etc is secondary issue (as proven in south direction)

I still think his approach was massively bad, he played it safe and didn´t want a big war with mass casualties, instead he got a bigger war with more casualties (attrit).
