But Russia is using massive artillery barrages as their main method of advancing, destroying everything with inaccurate but high volume of artillery shells.
That to me seems very much like "destroying the land" (and everything on it and in it). Going Scorched Earth after they realized early on that they won't sweep the country and be greeted as liberators, runs completely counter to the propaganda that Putin is trying to spread in Russia. Remember that the objective is to liberate Ukraine and it's people from a Neo-Nazies regime. This being done with actual neo-nazi mercenaries amongst other things.
There is no logic other than Putins own long-standing plan to correct what he sees as the biggest tragedy in recent history, namely the fall and dissolution of the Soviet empire. That's what he wants his legacy to be, and is betting everything on it.
That's actually kinda the point, from the Russian point of view: The birthplace of Russian culture should be part of Mother Russia.
Meanwhile, I add this tidbit for the purely sophomoric reason that the phrase "sausage tycoon" makes me giggle:

Something positive from the war: Ukrainian troops found a Roman settlement while digging a trench.
If there is one international law that even Russians cant avoid its gravity.

The Russian Orthodox advent calendar is pretty neat this year. Each day you open a window and an oligarch falls out.
There are other worlds than these.

Noone should sue or be sued ambiguously.
yeah....right, really. Suuuuuuuuuuure! They are wasting lots of useful shells missing everything!
Go ask the Wehrmacht of 1941-45 how "bad" Russian artillery was.
Today it's far far more horribly effective
You do know Ursula Von Der Leyen accidentally let slip the real Ukrainian military death toll is over 100,000 hm?
Probably about 200,000 now, nearly all their professional military is long gone, they are driving poor sods in civilian trucks and cars to the front lines and even in battle...and have for months forcing their men into insane attacks over open ground with little armour or artillery support.
Since Stage 2 the Russians SOP is simply to pull the Ukrainians out of defences/towns by withdrawing and pulling the enemy into prepared defences, and blow them to bits in the open
Zelensky keeps ordering his generals to do that (and they are pissed at him for it but hey America rules things in reality) and to shoot folk who retreat (those Nazis you all deny are doing that and are actually now at times being shot at by their own side who're fed up with the sick MTFers)
Oh and Russia has run out of ammo and missiles...as said every week according to Western propaganda.
Like the Russians are supposed to be getting artillery shells off North Korea, but the reality is, it's AMERICA who went begging to South Korea for 155mm shells, because the West sold off 80% of it's manufacturing capacity to enrich the bankers and CEOs
HINT: Western propaganda is largely PROJECTION, it's what the West does/is/plans etc projected onto the opponent
This isn't WW2 folks, where US had superb engineers and vast factory capacity
The piece of shit M-777 shows the crazy reality the US lives in now![]()
Vastly over priced, small (for what's needed) numbers of very unreliable crap, needing huge logistics train, to keep corporate profits maximized and it's incapable of prolonged use.
Western military is geared for colonial warfare against backward, easy opponents, not all out war vs peer opponents.
By the way, other week it emerged the German army's self propelled howitzer system is so bad only 30% of them are viable!
Also, Russians have very short supply lines and every resources they need for war production inside their own country, be it tungsten to microchips (you do NOT need the latest 6nm chips for drones, missiles etc and look who invented half the lithography systems for chip making).
oh and if any of you had the slightest intellectual and moral honesty, you'd have noted the many videos/pics from Ukraine, some from Western news outlets which got censored but some of it got out, of Ukrainian armoured vehicles of "Kraken" and such, not merely painted with the Nazi-era "Iron Cross", but with the Reich's Eagle, Black Sun and even the crossed grenades of SS Dirlewanger
Sigh I know I'm whistling in the wind, but when, like after Afghanistan, Iraq TWICE, etc the shit comes out...you lot ain't getting way with pretending you didn't support yet another "Western genocide for profit".
except this one has actually started World War Three and we best hope it doesn't go "shrooms", cause there may not be anyone left to put us away in lead coffins![]()
The Church the Ukrainians have banned, taken over buildings etc, hm?
just like they banned all opposition parties, took over the media etc
Zelensky and Co are not "democratists", they are just like South Vietnam and many other tin pot murderous regimes the US used through the years.
it'll be a toss up who gets Zelensky:
CIA/Mi6 to cover their tracks and make a martyr,
the Nazis for him and his minions being Jewish and losing the war,
or ordinary Ukrainians when they realize most of the young male population has been sent to their deaths by Mr Z and the West.
Oh and Mossad, many of whom are fucking furious at Israel being dragged into WW3, and the USA using Nazis whom Mossad bitterly complained about for years
and hope you all enjoy the sabotage and assassination cycles CIA/Mi6 started, as what goes around, comes around![]()

Boebert(the idiot) says the stalemate in the house is okay because it means the US is sending less money to Ukraine.

Silverblade, are you arguing that Putin is in the right here?
