The jokes about shovels write themselves. By the time of retreat announcement situation had already fallen appart, videos of escaping, captured and dead soldiers with claims of them being abandoned, videos from fortifications with ammo and supplies left so fast that no one even had a time to set fire to place, much less mine them. Also the loss of coke plant which could have been further defended since it had direct supply line from Orlivka and was not encircled unlike the actual city in the south.
Collapse in command seems to be the answer, they basically started to run soon after city was cut in two.
Two actual things of importance of this small city - hit to morale, especially after bleak last months and that this was one of the main fortification points in the region, built over 9 years.
You are not what you think you are, IMHO.
Time will show who of us was right. Back in 2022 all I wanted was for people to stop underestimating Russia just because it had stumbled and take a clear headed approach to all the claims (read, propaganda). As it turned out that was too much to ask.
Washing machine chips. Shovels. Out of missiles/tanks/etc. by *insert date here*. Human waves. Losses 1 to 10. Absolutely insane shit like meat cubes. Can't also forget all the claims about economy and weapons production.
Time will tell.
Back in 2022 you stumbled all over yourself to tell us on practically a daily basis how the war was all but over and Russia would be rolling into Kyiv at any moment and it's hopeless for Ukraine and yadda yadda yadda before Ukraine counterattacked and just like the Russians you ran off with your fucking tail between your legs because your prognosticating proved false.
Time did indeed tell us all we need to know about the depths of your "concerns".
It's easy to "be right" when "time will tell" equals to "after 60 seconds, a minute has passed"-level prophecies. And listing things that actually happened (human wave tactics, massive losses, temporary missile outages, stealing washing machines as its a luxury in Russia it seems) as falsehoods. Russian goon tactic: Hear no incompetence, see no incompetence, say no incompetence.
For the record, sounds like the losses were 7 to 1. That's seven dead Russian invaders for every Ukrainian.
This victim act is impossible to take seriously. I distinctly remember you taking every piece of news that was positive for Russia as ironclad fact in your insistence on proving your prognostications right, and handwaving every single piece of news that was positive for Ukraine with "memes and fog of war" as cheap excuses. You were gone the entire time the war went semi-well for Ukraine yet are back when it takes a worse turn, which hardly helps your case either.

The internet: where to every action is opposed an unequal overreaction.
Russia will get away with killing everyone in Ukraine because the world is by and large too weak kneed to handle Russia.
And they'll get away with the next one, and the one after that. At a certain point we should just roll over and present our necks for stomping.

The nuke's aren't something worth focusing your attention on; Putin is well-aware just dropping those spells the end for his entire campaign, and if he didn't care about legacy/the great soviet reclamation he would have used something already. This is trying to dig up a wholly conspiratorial/world ending scare out of nothing. (I belive this point has been iterated in this thread a fair few times already, as well.
So did they conquer Ukraine in three days?
Did they ever find those Ukrainian nazis?
Have they revealed how this was actually all NATO's fault?
Were they "caring" for the people of the towns they invaded as they said they were, instead of turning them into mass graves?
No? That was all bullshit?
Then shut the fuck up about "propaganda."

This is that entire poster's MO. I can't tell if they're trolling or dangerously delusional, but I put them on ignore a long time ago and haven't regretted it since.

Four in a day. Ukraine must have snuck a Patriot launcher up close again.
A russian milblogger who had been rather quiet since the crack down on them has spoken up after Avdiivka and he is not celebrating at all. In fact he is risking himself speaking up. He is admitting to sixteen thousand dead just to take the town. He is also admitting to 300 knocked out armoured vehicles, but the actual verified number is twice that, so the number of dead may be as well.
And he is rather despondent that after such heavy losses they couldn't even close the cauldron.
