lulz at Grade A. Art of War was written in 500 BC and talked of using chariots.
Sun Tzu was talking about an army that was still able to fight. In his time, that meant something very different than today. If you read the AOW, you'll see there are plenty of contradictions. That is because there is no recipe for winning a war. Sun Tzu wrote the Art of War, not The Dummy's Guide to War.
Thanks! I just watched. Is it really true they took 3000 Sq KM back?
I think so, they are taking new ground all the time, advances are rapid in these kind of situations and the Ukrainians have large reservist forces who can hold and mop up the ground they take ,multiplying their combat power and dealing with POWS and gathering up Russian equipment. The Ukrainians will exploit their advantage while the Russians are disorganized, confused and out of position. What they take they can hold, thanks to their territorials, they have over a million men under arms and most are reservists. Expect large numbers of prisoners, perhaps as many as 20K in the east and anther 20k in the bag on the southern front over the next month. Also expect the capture of lot's of equipment and ammo, enough to equip a couple of Ukrainian battalions or more.
what is putin going to do when he loses his war? how is going to explain all the lies? all the dead soldiers? he can't keep a total information blackout going forever. as soon as they lose, and the soldiers that live come home, the russians will hear what really happened. people are already getting around the information blockade, and they will show others how to do the same, more and more people will regain exposure to world news site, that all tell the same narrative, which doesn't match putin's narrative except in the remotest way...there were russian soldiers in Ukraine...that is pretty much where the stories diverge...The Ministry of Defense explained the retreat of troops from Izyum and Balakliya

He's fucked and him and Trump might go down so close together they could hold hands on the way to Hell. Make no mistake it is policy to send both of them there, Joe speaks so softly you can hardly hear him. In both cases he just has to point to his competent people and say get him, that's it, nothing more. In both cases their arrogance brought them down and in both cases Joe's remedy was the same, slow steady strangulation with the help of allies. No nukes over Ukraine and no civil war when Donald bites the dust either. Meanwhile try to keep the house, get a useful senate majority and get shit for the country done by winning the election. The Russians are on the run and so are the republicans, both of the bastards are on their back feet fighting for survival.
perhaps, but if they did it with a dirty nuclear device, that would more than likely be a war crime. it certainly ought to be.
There is really not much point in taking only Putin out. A cautionary tale seems apt here.
For Ukraine to take him out with a drone or a precision missile using conventional means would be perfectly legitimate. He is the head of their armed forces and primarily responsible for the attack on Ukraine, nobody would sanction them or say a peep, he is a war criminal. Ukraine probably has no law against political assassinations, few countries do, there is only retaliation. That's partly what's going on with the UK and Russia in Ukraine, they used weapons of mass destruction for political assassinations on British territory repeatedly FFS and now they will pay for it in blood.
Well the thing about Kherson is the geography, the Russians are cut off from effective supply for 25 K troops. However the ground is flat with no cover, open fields. If the Russians run out on fuel they cannot maneuver over the large distances and their equipment becomes stationary targets with empty fuel tanks. Keeping low level heat on them causes them to use up ammo and sooner or later the troops will have to try and get out as best they can by crossing the river. It is kinda of an example of leaving these high quality Russian troops a way out (minus their equipment), rather than fight them on unfavorable ground.That is only one area. The Ukrainians will not be able to just roll through the rest of Ukraine. If Kherson was falling like the Kharkiv region then no real need for that many shells.
