    Maybe in the history books where you come from, but most people know that Russian history books are about as reliable as the damn Bible :)

    Can't say that's how I remember it, Gifter. Seems to me you're gaslighting.

    Link and quote the posts in question, Gifter. Then let me know if you still need clarification.

    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, August 16, 2023
    Aug 16, 2023 - Press ISW
    [​IMG]
    Ukrainian forces continued counteroffensive operations on at least three sectors of the front on August 16 and advanced in western Zaporizhia Oblast and on the Donetsk-Zaporizhia Oblast border, including liberating the village of Urozhaine. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Ukrainian forces continued offensive operations in the Bakhmut, Berdyansk (Zaporizhia-Donetsk Oblast border area), and Melitopol (western Zaporizhia Oblast) directions. Geolocated footage published on August 16 indicates that Ukrainian forces advanced northeast of Robotyne (10km south of Orikhiv) in western Zaporizhia Oblast and have likely made wider gains in the surrounding areas given weeks of consistent Ukrainian activity in the forested areas northeast of the settlement. Ukrainian officials reported that Ukrainian forces liberated Urozhaine (9km south of Velyka Novosilka) in the Zaporizhia-Donetsk Oblast border area, and the Ukrainian 35th Marine Brigade published footage of their personnel raising the Ukrainian flag in the center of the settlement. Ukrainian reporting on the liberation of Urozhaine is in line with previous statements by Ukrainian officials about the liberation of other settlements in the area and recent reports by Russian forces that Russian units in the area were withdrawing. Russian claims about Ukrainian assaults further south and east of the limits of the settlement further indicate that Ukrainian forces likely control the majority of the settlement.

    Jack .. you keep posting these stupid reports about Ukraine messing around in the Grey Zone -- failing to mention Ukraine is is a hopless failure - failing to break through First line of Russian defense -- and wasting all its troops and equipment getting crushed and slaughtered in the grey zone .. in these silly battles you keep posting ... as if these battles are positive progress .. for which many backslaps are recieved from the Cheer team .. but, that don't count for squat in the Adult Room Jack .. and in here we don't post links without comment ... thinking this constitutes an argument for something. :)

    Personally I am amazed that Russia has failed so hard at taking over Ukraine. I expected it to be over within a couple of months. It really shows how much weaker Russian military is than its image was.

    Ukraine War Updates: Talking Strategy and Tactics || Peter Zeihan


    Crimea will be turned from an asset to an albatross for ruZZia if the northern and southern supply lines are cut, and Ukraine is advancing that way.

    Interesting comments about the Russian economy, namely that it has lost all dynamism and is being hollowed out, and it will not recover from this. At the same time, Putler is able to direct resources as he sees fit, and having dysfunctional economy is nothing new for Russia, so no economy does not necessarily mean there is no Russia.

    I personally feel that with today's high-tech world, it is however increasingly unfeasible to be isolated the way ruZZia is. And with China's economy not doing so hot either because, surprise surprise, incompetent state officials are not the best people to have micromanaging a national economy and they've shot themselves in both feet with their imbecilic one-child policy and whatever it's up to now, ruZZia has increasingly few prospects. Just imagine the pain when EVs finally start taking over in appreciable quantities! The world is going to have an oil glut before too much longer.

    I'll hazard a guess that Crimea may turn into another "Bakhmut" if Putler realizes he can't hold it.?

    You lavished praise on him, as you always do. "Gentle Giant" :thumbsdown: There is nothing gentle about his brutal invasion and terrorist bombing campaign in Ukraine, Gifter.

    I will hazard a guess as well if I may ! Given the Zoomer track record of 100% wrong .. I will place my bet on the side contrary to your claim and say that Putler will continue to hold Crimea .. as Russia has done for the past 4 centuries :)

    Congratulations before-hand on maintaining your 100% record .. of XXX-Wrong-XXX

    When you gonna heed the words of the Prophet Zoomer .. "Listen to the Mahatma -- for he is very wise" :)

    And just because someone tells you that an NBA team should be quickly defeating a high school basketball team with a massive score doesn't mean that person is rooting for the highschool team. What I wrote was not partisan.

    But I do note that you made that accusation, and then immediately called it silly when somebody did the same to you, in your very next post no less.

    Let's be real. Biden is too much of a jelly-brain to be evil.

    Everything you've posted here is absurd even by your usual standards.
