"Well, here we are."

@judgedread Knowing a great deal about the conflict I was actually amazed at how badly Russia fumbled in the early stages (I expected a quick curbstomp like Georgia or the Crimean liberation) but that's completely on me, eight years of time to fortify and plan plus endless ratlines of Western money and materiel actually did count for something back then
Not anymore
-
@TrevorGoodchild Knowing almost nothing about Ukraine I was 99% sure Russia would win on day one just based on the Napoleonic Wars and World War II.
Quantity has a quality all its own.
-
@TrevorGoodchild The scenarios narrow over time. Color revolution was their only hope, replace Putin with a western tool like Yeltsin. Putin is too well dug in for that to work, so for Ukraine's government it's negotiate now and cut losses or negotiate later and hope to avoid execution.
-
@judgedread The 'Kadyrov' scenario is a possibility, where someone on the Ukie side decides they would rather live and flips, either kills or forces the kike cokehead into exile, and consolidates power with Bad Vlad's blessing while becoming his loyal proxy and local hatchet man
-
@TrevorGoodchild @judgedread Simplicius had this from his SitRep a few days ago. Supposedly the Kike Kokehead has a Hail Mary offensive attempt planned for the fall
-
@DEERBLOOD Yes yes, if there's one thing Russians don't know how to do, it's brutal grinding slogs and attrition warfare, we have some real big brains in the West
-
@TrevorGoodchild Days after the war broke out some cock sucking lieutenant colonel from the institute for the study of war came to talk to those of us getting ready for company command
He declared Russia had already lost cause they hadn't won in 4 days. I asked if maybe we were making assumptions about their doctrine, intent, timeless etc.
I got a decisive snort from this genius in response
-
@DW2 Would make perfect sense. Problem (for them) is that the Russians now have air supremacy for all intents and purposes. Hard to mass troops for a blitzkrieg attack when they keep getting Kalibrated
-
@TrevorGoodchild @DEERBLOOD Remember the Glorious Greatest Counter
Offensive of 2023? When NATOs plan was to
send countless armored vehicles and tanks into
minefields spanning hundreds of kilometers
over and over again, with no air support, while
being hammered by artillery and Ka 52s the
whole time?
That whole thing was a massive whitepill, aside
from the outcome, as it was proof positive that
the managerial class is afflicted by terminal
brainrot and incapable of stopping Zog's steady decline
-
@DW2 @TrevorGoodchild I can understand putting on a brave, optimistic face, but top brass fully believes their own bullshit and they refuse to adjust fire in the face of their obvious, glaring miscalculation
-
@DEERBLOOD @TrevorGoodchild that’s a problem across the entire regime - you have a managerial/political class that is thoroughly incapable of restraint or self reflection. Instead you have nepotistic midwit zealots who spaz like a severely autistic six year old taking a diarrhea shit when they receive the slightest pushback, either here or overseas.
-
@DW2 @DEERBLOOD NATO's battle plan for the counter-OOF hinged on the assumption that "Russians will abandon their positions and run away when they see Leopard tanks bearing down on them in the field".
Not joking about this. We are ruled by retarded women.
-
@DW2 @TrevorGoodchild I say top brass but it's actually much worse. You can have top brass believing nonsense but if your colonel and ltc's have a grounded view of things you can act within the intent of higher without getting your soldiers killed
But now the propaganda is so complete the brigade and battalions commanders also believe the bullshit. And every colonel wants to be a general (which is a political appointment) so they're natural sycophants
-
@DEERBLOOD @TrevorGoodchild the rot has run so deep that the whole tree is about to fall over. Good riddance I say
-
Oh so someone watched Iron Man and thought seeing a Leopard tank would be like seeing Tony Stark flying out of the sky shooting rockets in his adamantium space suit. LO-FUCKING-L. "We are ruled by retarded women," might be the quote of the year. I may put that in my bio.
-
@VikingWays @TrevorGoodchild @DEERBLOOD Oh it’s worse than that. Apparently the whole NAFO gayop is being taught at West Point as an example of highly effective war propaganda.
I could say more but I’ll let the TaliChads do it for me
-
@TrevorGoodchild @DW2 @DEERBLOOD I am so glad we are being ruled by retarded women. Maybe we will get in a fight with Albania and they'll come over and hand us our ass.
I am an accelerationist, after all.
-
@LudditeMan @TrevorGoodchild @DEERBLOOD remember operation Prosperity Guardian? The Houthis pretty much yeeted Zog, as the kids are want to say
-
@DW2 @TrevorGoodchild It's pretty disturbing that it seems without exceptions my peer's solution to healing the rot is more rot
-
@dubbub @TrevorGoodchild @DW2 That's kinda where they landed with funneling them money and arms, but they turned it into a war of attrition which matches perfectly with Russian doctrine
They're so full of ra-ra-'MERICA that they can't conceptualize them having a victory condition that didn't mirror our invasion of Iraq
-
@TrevorGoodchild @DW2 @DEERBLOOD They hoped for internal Russian problems to manifest, like the Prigozhin rebellion but in earnest. It's the typical corporate Western mentality of "if I want something badly enough and throw enough money at it, it works". The West needs to stop electing idiots in suits, it never occurred to them to just stall Russia out and do what they can with what they were given.
-
@DW2 @VikingWays @TrevorGoodchild @DEERBLOOD i mean what have they learned at west point that's made them successful in the past 70 years? its one disaster after another
