Unless Putin is a israelite and operating under some Hebrew consensus that he answers to, this war is his own damn fault bar-none. Even if the former was the case, he wouldn't be absolved of responsibility.
Don't google Putin's mother's last name.
You're a parody of an antisemite. You only attribute agency to israelites and no one else. Either the combination of the redpill and internet poisoning has broken your senses or you're false flagging, and frankly I'd prefer if it was the latter.
I suspect when the war is over and OPSEC is lifted, we'll gain access to a wealth of information on this genius.
Strikes me as a No-Nonsense Nemesis to Putin.
I get the feeling he's having a good time.
Keeping the 2nd strongest military in the world at bay for half a year is a big confidence boost to one's self.
He looks like a Slavic Schwarzkopf

>genius
>he did shit
I'm willing to bet quite a lot of money that none of the Ukrainian higher ranks really did shit, considering that the early offensives in the north were stopped by territorial defense and vatnik incompetence.
the rest has just been ukies trying their best at following common sense military practices (not always succeeding) while the orks self destruct
Ork on Ork violence.
If Ukrainians were as stupid as the Russians were, they never would have lasted 6 months.
Yes, they're not as stupid. But they're still poor, corrupt and as a consequence you can't expect much from their career officer corps because as in all poor, corrupt countries they tend to be a mix of conman, mobster and politician. I am not comfortable seeing someone like this Zaluzhnyi guy being glorified when it's likely he'll end up disgraced in some corruption scandal - or worse, collusion with the vatnigs somehow - the second the crisis is over. And it's unlikely he contributed much in the way of original thought or spirited leadership, Ukraine is being carried hard by the impressive fighting spirit of the ordinary people and massive western support - their strategies, tactics and doctrine are nothing special.
The reason I think like this because my own poor, corrupt country is like this, despite being in NATO. Don't lionize some guy you know nothing about. If he's a high ranking government official he's pdobably a crook, because they're all crooks.
they have intiative on low levels, that gives them the edge, they couldn't have contained and slaughtered the vdv otherwise
Russians can't even take a piss without "Muh Higher Orders". Ukrainians simply move faster.
NCOs who can do their own thing might as well be fricking unicorns to the Vatniks.

At this rate, part of me suspects there won't be a West Point by the time this war is over because the Russians will just flip over the table and fire their nukes in one last act of tardrage.

Also, is that really a nuke or a larger-than-usual wildfire?

I guess Rossyia and Chinks really have no chance against NATO, if just advisers and a few weapons are enough to change the outcome of a war.
who gives a frick? OP asked why this guy isnt celebrated as a military genius. it's because he isn't and is just being hard-carried by actual military geniuses. sorry if that hurts your feelings.
You really think the US thinks going on the offensive against the Russians is a good idea? They'd never tell the Ukrainians to do that, we're too risk-averse. The counter-offensive has to have been planned by the Ukrainians.
>he isn't and is just being hard-carried by actual military geniuses
man i love this "we're actually getting ass-fricked by nato and cia and not by those silly ukrainians"
I seriously doubt the Ukrainians just "follow orders" from fricking foreigners. These are the same guys who are going to prosecute US banks for aiding and abetting the Russian enemy.

They will. They'll be emboldened by defeating Russians and punishing people who aid & abet your opponent in war is totally justified.
ok buddy, call me when it happens. ukraine is in no place financially to start going after american banks you absolute moron
US literally owns ukraine. Their entire gov is our plant. Going after US banks isnt even biting the hand its trying to swallow the arm. Can't even if they are so moronic that they want to.
I thought Ukraine wasn't real, like the Easter Bunny or so the Vatniks tell me.
>Not recognizing that everyone affiliated with The West is unironically a US puppet
>Not recognizing that everyone affiliated with The East is unironically a Chinese puppet
How are you missing the goalposts this hard? There are only two sides on the planet, all other nations fall into one of these camps now that Russia has decided to permanently fall on its sword.
China's too stupid and blunt to HAVE a side, only a couple of nations it suckered into getting into deals with it.
If this results in DB and other big money-laundering banks finally getting what they deserve after decades of it being a very public secret that they're in bed with organised crime and commies (so basically more organised crime), I'd finally be happy.
>These are the same guys who are going to prosecute US banks
God I hope they do, Imagine if after saving themselves with US aid they turned right around and started saving the US as well
shit would be kino as frick
>I guess Rossyia and Chinks really have no chance against NATO
Russia is fricking the NATO litter right now, and all of NATO is shaking with fear. But he can't do anything because he is very afraid of Russia. Russia alone scares the entire NATO bloc. When China comes into play, you just have to fall apart from fear.

>pictured: 100% of the world's scientific base and 80% of its technological economy.
Oh please. The West is openly skeptical of Ukraine's counter-offensive in the South's chances.
Ukrainians do have the aversion to risky moves like the West does. That counter-attack at Severodonetsk was gutsy, but it paid off. It bled the Russians for a good while, forcing an "operational pause" and buying time for the HIMARS to deploy. The Ukrainian military even escaped.
It makes sense. The US is risk averse because all our wars are overseas and so having soldiers die in some backwater shithole is not a good look.
If the US was defending the homeland from an invasion though, we would be a lot more risk off.
USA is 58% white and rapidly shrinking. The entire ruling class of America in every major city openly states that's its and evil nation and it needs to be radically transformed.
Aint nobody fighting for the USA in 20 years.
Who is going to challenge us again? India's in ethno-religious strife. China is stuck with the incompetent Xi for all eternity, driving his nation into the ground. Russia is descending into hell.
The biggest enemy to the US is internal with the rise of authoritarianism among the right wing.
Odds are the Founding Father's dream will be dead within a decade because of the Republican's anti-democratic movement and the US will be turned into a Russian-lite kleptocracy.
To begin with, America was meant to be a Republic since day one.
No it wasn't. frick off corpse of John Birch.

>rise of authoritarianism among the right wing.

Ok moron
Handing power back to the states doesn't matter much if they're basically just turned into a rubber stamp for an authoritarian central government.
>want to centralize power under federal entity
>better empower the variety of states including the ones that don't agree with us
moron
It isn't that, though. Things like Kansas's recent court decision on abortion demonstrates it's genuine return of state power/decisions.
Correction: It was a popular vote to amend the constitution that failed. So it was even more of a local exercise of power than I thought
You're an NPR listener moralistically preaching out of his ass. Your understanding of the real world is lacking, and you are not welcome on PrepHole.com.
Thats not how it works and thats not whats happening
If the states and the federal government have the same authoritarian leanings, how are the states not just a de facto extension of that government?
Dilate.
Of course one Ukrainian is arguing that they actually lost because of Severodonetsk because they couldn't keep their troops supplied across the river.
But that could be what Ukraine is planning for Kherson, planning on giving Russia only one bridge to supply all their troops and then choking them like the Russians choked Ukraine in Severodonetsk
>muh us advisors
They maybe provide some glowie valuable information but probably much less than ukies collect themselves through their population, contacts in russia and their own hackers glowies. And thats it. What can they advise at a tactical level? Ukies know their land much better. The vatnik ass frickiny is 90% ukrainians and then nato adds 10% for the lulz. This us adviser/nato wunderwafe propaganda is just vatnik cope to their assfricking in the battle.
Human intel is extremely invaluable, and the Ukrainians collect aplenty.
Russian OPSEC is a total joke. They don't even have the manpower to secure the areas they occupy, they can barely push forward at all.
Sure. You dont need alien technology to tap into russians talking on mobile phones. Ukies even post thousands of those publicly. Just what I mean is kond of insult to Ukrainians to say that they are not capable when in fact they actually received relatively little help (far far far from what soviets provided to vietnam for example). Few things here and there of course very helpful and javelins in the beggining allowed them to stand some ground during initial onslaught but 90% is ukies in this war and that shouldnt be disrespected.
>we are only losing because we are fighting NATO
Frick off vatnik
Nice kot though
The US at most just provides gear and whatever pieces of blatantly obvious to anyone with a satellite, ham radio, or a telescope intel they get, they don’t actually form battle plans and shit for them. If anything those advisors would only be there to get an idea of how conventional tactics in the modern age could work and get the COIN sandbox thats been around for two decades out of their minds, kind of like the foreign advisors that came over during the Civil War who learned nothing from hubris.
Its called not being a b***h.
In fairness to Europe, Americans spent centuries in hellish heat. Most of the Southwest and Southeast alone is a furnace. We're accustomed to it.
Also we have air-conditioning, which is basically the way for true acclimatization. You get some exposure to heat, cool off, get exposed again, and so on. I've been bombarded by hellish heat for almost 40 years, lol. I even have a job where the AC gives out on a regular basis and temps rise to 90 degrees with 70 humidity. I call that dangerous but not insurmountable.
This is very true. Europe is used to northwest type temperature and don't require constant air conditioning or climate control, here I run AC half the time during the winter and a small $35 space heater the other half.
he's keepin it real
In all fairness, its pretty smart to listen to competent advisors
>Go to war specifically to halt the US/The West's influence in a spot
>Be surprised when the US/The West sends advisors and equipment to protect its interests as per Soviet Afghanistan
>Hurr but duh west wuz helpin, doesn't count herpa derpa bix nood
Maybe your country shouldn't declare war on Western interests and should get back in its corner then, Vatnik. The Soviet Union is over and its never coming back.
If you do things that your advisor tells you to and they work out it doesn't mean you're wrong and he is right, it means both of you are right. Him, for knowing what to do and you, for knowing who to listen to.
Bingo. An idiot who doesn't take good advice doesn't deserve help.
>>does nothing but just listen to what US advisors tell him to do
>>"he's a genius!"
That unironically makes him the smartest Oinkrainian in the country. The rest are too busy looting foreign aid money, hawking American weapons to Albanians, or triangulating their own trenches by uploading selfies.
>muh ukrainians selling weps concern trolling
Do we have a recent video of this guy? I remember one taken a month or two after the start of the invasion and he looked like he had aged years.
Damn, that's crazy. Imagine how fricked Russians would be if Ukrainians really tried to defend their land.
Yeah pretty much, if the Afghani nationalists had tried this tactic they would still be in charge of their country
The US thougth Ukraine would get stomped in the first week. They gave very little material support because they thought they had another fall of Afghanistan on theri hands.

Everyone can see America is a sinking ship even liberals.
Where else can people go again, lol? World's heating up. When parts of the Middle East and Africa become uninhabitable pretty much, everyone will go up North again to simply survive.
It's simple reality. People go where they can survive. America is better positioned than most to survive the coming hellbox.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/11/8/climate-hotspot-what-60c-means-for-the-middle-east
Sinking ship compared to fricking where? If we're a sinking ship, most of the world's ships are already on the bottom of the sea.
Americans always have this complex that they're somehow better than everyone else because they're supposedly 'less bad'. Not that having half your country roaming with hispanics and Black folk and getting all your tax money sent off to other countries is better than having a smaller economy without air conditioning.
As far as Florida is concerned, It's mostly for boating. Boomers and pre-boomers either grew up doing that shit in the northeast where they only use the fricking thing for all of about 4 months before it sits on a trailer for the rest of the year or they've never done it and retiring on a boat is a very stereotypical dream of those about to retire. Not to mention the novelty of having 400'+ of water and the gulf stream less than 3 miles offshore as opposed to 100+ miles out. They end up putting up with the heat for that. Then they get there and realize just how much of a crowded mess it is since 20 years worth of people had the same idea before they did.
>Retiring on a boat
Bleh. Give me a food garden.
Mexico City is in the mountains and has a very mild climate.
Pic related isn't new, if you check the road maps in northern Mexico you can see that the whole region is more economically integrated into the USA then it is into its own country

Russia vs Ukraine reminds me of an old DS9 scene where a big empire demands shit and they say no.
1:20. "Either you don't join NATO, and we will take your country from you."
>Cardassians are just Space Serbs
I'm amazed I didn't see it earlier.
The Dominion are basically Russians with Chinese-tier hubris and grievances, combined with Russian guile and sheer brutality...if both China and Russia were actually competent threats.
So NATO is beating Russia by simply relying on a proxy army, a few of our toys, and intel? Russia, this isn't the Cope you think it is. Losing to NATO is WORSE than losing to Ukraine, lol. Ukraine is fighting without full mobilization. NATO is fighting without doing much at all, lol.
>The Dominion are basically Russians
True
based DS9 enjoyer
There are at least TWO parallels to the Ukraine War.
The other is the Klingon Invasion Of Cardassia.
Klingons invade Cardassia for "Muh Regime Change" under false pretensions and lying to the whole universe about it. This is turn forces the Federation to back Cardassia.
Unlike Ukraine War though, Dukat runs from the fight largely and the Federation gets sucked directly into the conflict in full-scale battle. Plus Russia was doing shit long before Ukraine. This was the first time offense for the Klingons, but it was enough to wreck the alliance.
BUT the Battle For DS9 itself is the real parallel to the Ukraine War. An invasion force takes on far more than it can handle for the pride of its leader, finally forced to retreat when it can't best the dogged defenders.
I'm willing to bet conventional wisdom said the Klingon Empire would easily win a war against the Federation, as the Empire was built for conflict (but short on such vital fields as medical care and logistical support).
TLDR version: show was ahead of its time in unexpected ways. A war between Ukraine and Russia wasn't even imagined when the damn show came out.

Always struck me as a very honest individual in every interview I've seen of him. It's a shame his plea for more funding on national television back in September (?) 2021 wasn't heard. He literally said the new funding is a "catastrophe". I guess he had a massive frick up in his career with the Mariupol encirclement but Ukraine is incredibly lucky to have met the war with this guy in charge especially considering his disgusting worm of a predecessor.
>a massive frick up in his career with the Mariupol encirclement
Mariupol tied down MASSIVE numbers of orks for months, using very few ukrainian forces. It may well have saved mykolaiv or odessa.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
Mariupol was a tactical success. It saved the country. The guys down there should be hailed as Legends in their history books. 2k guys held off 20k Russians for months while completely cut off.
Opposite. Tactically there's no way it can be a success because Russia took the city. It was a strategic success, in that it wrecked several Russian units and completely stalled out the advance on Zaporizhzhia. The Marines and Chechens were rendered inoperable as combat formations from fighting in Mariupol.
The Russians kept stupidly attacking the city instead of laying siege to it. I predict they'll do the reverse around Kherson, attacking the Ukrainians instead of simply defending.
There are tactically sound ways to drag out a siege you're going to lose anyway, just like there are tactically sound ways to do a fighting retreat.
From what I've heard Zelensky keeps fricking up his flow
>says to leave troops in encirclment because they might be able to regain land instead of falling back to fight another day
>takes equipment from the Donbas front over to the Kherson front
Russia has introduced only 100 thousand people and the second army of Europe (air defense - the first) with the support of NATO and "the whole world" is losing 1,000 people a day, having lost all hope of returning at least something. Another Russian offensive will begin soon, Ukraine will lose land again and receive tens of thousands of coffins (and how many corpses lie in the fields, no one collects them). That's all this commander did.
ESL get off the board
Russia, if you could beat Ukraine, you would have done it 6 months ago. It's too late.
Ukraine's West backers smell Vatnik blood in the water.

That gay seems to be givin' yer bum a right buggering Ivan. But I guess yer used to that sorta thing.
Honestly a gay military leader would be fully committed to stopping Putin, because Putin's personal hostility to gay individuals is well-known. It would be mutual hostility, which is always a good incentive for battle.
Though personally I just loathe Russia in general. They're Stupid-Evil.
I just realized why vatnik shills keep bringing up the homosexual parade in Kyiv — there is indeed going to be one marching whatever left of russianr gay fricking army after the victory

>Lincoln the politician gets all the fame while Grant is the one who defeated the Confederates
What the frick are you on about? Grant became a (rather shitty) US president by coasting on the laurels of his ACW career. Like Eisenhower, he wasn't forgotten and disbanded by the political establishment.

>Russian invaders are getting stabbed to death by KNIVES
I'm so unironically proud of Ukraine!
Shit's crazy in Kherson. Read this:
>At the other end of the fightback are the insurgent youths, ambushing Russians with their daggers. Ukraine's government does not want to admit this is happening, perhaps because it exposes how desperate the defence has become. But the Russians will not acknowledge it either, because they are ashamed by the damage these youngsters are inflicting.
>Groups with knives, sometimes a handful and sometimes a marauding gang, attack Russians wherever they can — slashing them, stabbing them, cutting their throats if they get the chance.
>Their fury reflects the hatred of ordinary Ukranians for the invaders. Putin's continued pretence that people in the coastal cities have welcomed his army as liberators could not be further from the truth.

He looks a little like Eisenhower.
That can't be good.
He's clearly him reincarnated as a Slav.
Honestly, Ike wasn't a good general. He was a politician at heart, which is why he was a good president, and good at managing the coalition, but he was never very good at military strategy. In the modern era he'd be NATO's Secretary General, not the Supreme Commander, but here was no such civilian apparatus for the alliance back then. Honestly I probably would have put Devers or even Monty in charge, at least of actual operations.
Zelensky is the harmless face of Ukraine. Valeri is the strong, crushing arms of it.
