Basically, he’s saying the Russians really needed to properly regroup after backing out of Kyiv and then make their big play to quickly surround the Ukrainians in the east but instead they’re being deliberate. That’s a mistake because they never had the men (he says 3:1 is needed) for this to succeed. Now the Ukrainians are able to give up space and in exchange inflict casualties that can’t be sustained.
dr mike is correct. i wouldn’t have used the word deliberate. they are slow because they are bad and donbass theater has been defended competently. the separatist girkin’s channel has also been largely correct, and he critiques that there was really no way to catch the donbass defenders by surprise or in encirclement.
Tbf, deliberate is my word. He said they’re “dribbling”.
no idea if true
also, russian propaganda has been trying to turn ukraine and poland on each other by saying poland will take western ukraine. well, pretty quickly the counter propaganda appeared on chinese tv, showing how neighboring countries are going to divide russia. looks like china gets some of siberia, US gets kamchatka.
ok but does Kamchatka go blue or red?

That’s just a Voronoi map of the closest country to each point.
Definitely not.
They’d have to almost triple their size to even pass Australia for 5th.
awww yeah I forgot about that issue
Norway makes out like a bandit in this deal
Do you think they’ll let me live in Kamchatka? I would like that. I’ll have a ranch, and some cows.
Yeah, as much as people talk about most map projections minimizing Africa, Brazil is fucking enormous, and you’d almost never know without looking at a globe.
Who here has advocated for torturing Russian prisoners?
look just because victor wants attention doesn’t mean we have to give it to him.
