          He was not. He was a citizen of genoa (which was in Italy) and a member of the wool weavers guild that he had inherited from his father. So by definition he was not a israelite.

      1. Many of Ukraines weapons outrange their Soviet equivalents, making it easier for Ukraine to interdict supplies to Bakhmut than it was for Russia to try and cut off supplies if they can retake enough territory.

      2. Retaking the land prevents Russian from using Bakhmut to attack elsewhere.

      3. If Ukraine can interdict the roads to Bakhmut from Russian cntrolled territory, it makes it harder to hold Bakhmut and everything Russia just sacrificed will be for nothing

      4. Russia is desperate for a win. If there is a danger of being surrounded or losing, they'll be forced to pull troops from places Ukraine wants to attack.

        >4. Russia is desperate for a win. If there is a danger of being surrounded or losing, they'll be forced to pull troops from places Ukraine wants to attack.
        Big bingo. This has been the strategy for a while now. I have my doubts that is was *always* the plan, it'll be interesting in the post-war to see when the idea solidified in Ukrainian command, but the Russians have very loudly telegraphed their desperation for a win, and they're deeply convinced that Bakhmut holds some sort of equal importance to Ukraine, either symbolically or strategically. It makes it *very* hard for Russia to not double, triple, and quadruple down on taking the city.
        That's entirely too juicy an opportunity to a defender that's planning an imminent offensive that'll probably be across multiple fronts (thee at most, I'd wager).
        Thanks to Russian media and Prighozhin, Bakhmut is too important to surrender without a significant showing by the Russians. If it actually has the intended effect, whoever planned this shit is going to single-handedly revive the fricking Military Channel from all the documentaries about him.

      The third assault group carried out offensive actions on the western outskirts of Bakhmut, creating a bridgehead for a further counteroffensive.

      The width of the breakthrough strip was 2000 m, and the depth was 700 m.

      Previously, the enemy had at least 50 "200s" and up to a hundred "300s". As of now, 4 more Russians are in captivity. The enemy's reserves in this direction were also liquidated, in particular several Russian warehouses of BC.

      Successful assault operations were carried out by fighters of the 1st assault (https://t.me/ShturmBat1) and 1st mechanized (https://t.me/FirstMehBat) battalions.

            No one said anything like that. I'm just quoting wagner/RU sources. As of recently, according to them, ISW, US intel, Ukranian intel, pretty much everyone, Wager is depleted.

                You're looking at two blue specks on a map. Russia pulling out and moving back one trench is not a fricking collapse, nor does it jeopardize their positions in Bakhmut proper. the AFU is now in the same position Wagner was a couple of months ago where they have to bang their heads against fortified positions to make marginal gains. This is not the kind of fight Ukraine can afford to have.

We all have seen the videos, even fricking Wagner posted about them, saying that RU troops there have collapsed.

                Wagner held that high ground for months and it did nothing to help them in Bakhmut. And if they're supposedly collapsing why are they gaining less ground each and every day? They've been larping about taking Klischiivka for more than a week now. Two more trenches, right?

                Yeha but making projections based on early result is foolish. Just because they conceded some territory does not mean they will not reinforce their current positions. Just as Bakhmut was moving ahead much more until Ukranian forces reinforced what they could and concentrated in large.

        But wouldn't that be tying a noose for yourself in any kind of political system? Even in a liberal system the rules of war mean you at least get forcibly silenced, if not jailed for stuff like that... it's so weird. So it's either complete incompetency of Russian leadership (they can't silence a guy because he's rich), or it's somehow beneficial for them to get criticized publicly...

        Part of surviving under Putin's regime is making yourself look like an idiot, so nobody seriously thinks you can replace the Great Leader and force him to purge you. This also makes the Great Leader look sensible and reasonable.

      In the lands of Ukraine, a tale unfolds,
      Of Vladimir Putin, a monkey so bold.
      With a hunger for power, he set out to find,
      Bananas aplenty to satisfy his mind.

      Through the forests he ventured, with a cunning gaze,
      His ambition unwavering in those vast maze.
      But Ukraine's bananas were nowhere to be seen,
      A challenge to Putin, the monkey so keen.

      He swung from the trees with a stealthy grace,
      Searching high and low in every possible place.
      Yet the bananas eluded his prying sight,
      Leaving him puzzled, frustrated, and full of spite.

      He scoured the orchards, the fields, and the hills,
      But the bounty he sought only added to his ills.
      For the people of Ukraine held their bananas tight,
      Refusing to succumb to Putin's might.

      The monkey grew furious, his temper ablaze,
      How dare they deny him his rightful craze!
      But Ukraine stood united, unyielding and strong,
      Protecting their borders, where they truly belong.

      In this tale of Putin, the monkey's defeat,
      We witness the power of a nation so fleet.
      For Ukraine's spirit, unbending and true,
      Prevailed over greed, and the monkey's coup.

      So let this be a lesson, for all to perceive,
      That even the mightiest can stumble and grieve.
      No banana, nor power, can conquer a land,
      When its people stand firm, hand in hand.

        First, I'd like you to connect me to your supervisor because you clearly need some coaching. Second, you should know how the American economy works. In the past 64 years, there have been 90 votes to raise the debt ceiling. It happens all the time. The debt ceiling is not a substantive issue, it is political theater and always has been, and even in the instances when no agreement is reached, which has happened before, the implications of it were never dire. An agreement is always reached within some days even in the worst-case scenarios where government employees are furloughed for a few days while talking heads come to an agreement.

        To put it into perspective, try to imagine you're having an argument between you and your krokodil supplier. He has generous amounts of supply but he is no longer having taking payments in the form of gay buttsex with you because you gave him AIDS. So the two of you faff on about it for awhile before you finally agree to give him a washing machine door to go with the parts shipped back to him when his son's T-72 was sent to the Moon by a Javelin. You both know that it's gonna happen, you're just negotiating a price, see?

    Let's be honest here, guys: Ukraine will never be able to regain all of the territories that Russia has seized since 2014. Even the promised counteroffensive is likely to achieve only minor successes, because the Russian army has successfully prepared in all directions, from Svatovo to Kakhovka. How could it not end up that in the event of a failed counteroffensive, the Ukrainian army would be weakened and the Russian army would launch a counteroffensive to take Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, Zaporozhye and Kharkov, as well as take back control of Kherson and other territories on the right bank of the Dnieper? There is a saying in Russia: Russians are slow to harness horses, but fast to ride them. Besides, Russia very rarely loses wars in which it takes part, so the Winter War scenario, the Korean War scenario, and many others are possible. Don't underestimate us. This is a warning to all our enemies.

              Back then, there were no nuclear weapons placed there. Now Russia has at least 4 tactical nukes there.

            Can you name one example of any conflict after WW1 where either side has been able to construct an "impenetrable fortress"? Do you remember how Saddam called the fortifications south of Kuwait city as impenetrable, only to get literally rolled over by light forces (because heavy battalions were rushing through the desert 200km west)?

              Kuwait city wasn't a peninsula, like Crimea, and Crimea is almost an island, there are only 1 road there which connects it to the mainland, the Perekop isthmus, near Armiansk. Learn some geography. If Russia controls Armiansk, AFU won't be able to take Crimea.

                It was announced that the Ukrainian counteroffensive will start this spring. Spring is almost over, now they say it will start this summer. What will they say when it doesn't start this summer? By the way, the U.S. refused to provide Ukraine with F-16s and forbade allies to begin training Ukrainian pilots on these fighters. What does this tell us? That the Pentagon knows more than it states publicly. The Ukrainian army will probably not succeed this year, and next year this conflict will finally go into a freezing phase, because NATO money and weapons are not infinite.

      2. Give up Bakhmut, all of Russia will know your frick up. The recriminations and criticism will be relentless. Also, well just do it again and again anyway.

          They didn't really build it up. What happened was that it was first attacked in the summer of last year when Russia was still advancing. At the time, the fall of Bakhmut would enable them to directly attack two major cities further west from two directions. East (Bakhmut) and the north (Izyum). Bakhmut was aslo fairly easy for Russia to supply with shells, and food. Bakhmut wasnt particularly well defended at the time either, so it made sense to attack. Then, a couple things happened:

          1. Ukraine launched the attack on Kharkiv, which cause the Russians to lose a bunch of ground close to the two cities mentioned above.
          2. Between Kharkiv and Kherson offensives it forced Russia to redeploy a bunch of troops from the Bakhmut area which weakened the attacks.
          3. Ukraine was given time to build defenses in Bakhmut due to the above.

          At this point, Russia mobilized more troops and someone made the decision to attack somewhere while Ukraine was receiving aid and training. They decided to attack Bakhmut even though it had less value now and was better defended because there wanst any better locations at attack.

          The end result was a lot of dead Russians. Also, since it went on so long, Ukraine was able to still rebuild their army over the winter and spring.

            The rumors are Putin is micro-managing the war like all idiot dictators (they don't realize the limit of their competency) and he wanted all of Donbass taken for his so called "off-ramp". He could then say the SMO is over, and then ask for a cease fire. In his mind, Ukraine would be so battered from missile attacks and dead soldiers that they would be begging for an end to hostilities. With a frozen conflict, they could then defacto incorporate the lands into Russia, and then prevent Ukraine from ever joining NATO. Then Putin and the Oligarchs get all that juicy new oil/gas to plunder, and their land bridge and the port in Crimea.

              Nah, it comes from Putin himself. It's all political. Prigozhin stepped up and said Wagner could take the city where the army had failed. This was gonna be his power move. Now he's trapped and Wagner forces are depleted.

          By all accounts Russia should have been able to take Bakhmut. It was an alley oop so they built it up as a great victory to play for the yokels and vatniks back home. The fact that Ukraine would fight so hard to hold it is both unexpected and irrational, so I can't exactly blame the Russian propagandists for thinking it was just a matter of 2 weeks before they could claim victory there.

        I won't be surprised at all if the counter offensive ends up exactly like the Kharkiv one did.

        >Ukrainians taking hundreds of square kilometers a day.
        >Russians refuse to pull assets from Bakhmut to help defend areas that desperately need it.
        >Ukraine takes even more ground.
        >Russia still cares more about taking Bakhmut than anything else.
        >Ukraine ends up taking a few thousand of square kilometers before Russia can finally pull together a defense to stop them.

        According to Rob Lee the retreating Russian troops from last week were from Kreminna and Vuhledar, both are directions you could see a Ukrainian offensive be directed towards.

        >Give up Bakhmut, all of Russia will know your frick up
        Why did they build up Bakhmut so fricking much anyway? No one's jerking off over any other insignificant city on the frontline

        It was the "look we can still do things!" town meant to give some Initiative back to the Russians after the Kharkiv regrouping and Kherson gift return, of course this war can be defined by sunk-cost fallacies and this turned into another.

          Yeah, the official Russian story is that they willingly left Kyiv/Kherson/Kharkiv (for no particular reason...) so that they could focus all of their effort on "saving the people in Donbas".

          After 6-months of human wave attacks they are now almost in control of a town located a few km from the 2014 contact line.

        Aren't drones and modern artillery supposed to be able to hit the trench, rather than land somewhere near it like it did 120 years ago?

      *12 month battle.

      It's probably 50K dead, 100K casualties though. We won't know for sure until someone hacks the Russian ministry of defense in a decade and leaks all the documents. They probably lost 20K prisoners in pointless suicide attacks alone.

      [...]
      The idea is that Bakhmut is a side-show and the troops are there to just keep Russians pinned down. New counter offensive will be where Russia is at their weakest.

      The MoD likely doesn't count Wagner, or the separatists for that matter.

      Unless I get geolocated footage of some AIDS infested wagnerite at the western entrance of the city I won't believe it
      Whenever Russia captures anything it actually captures it 7 times (it turns out, the previous 6 times didn't actually happen), so now I won't believe you until I see the wagnerite's antibody test chart.

        Ukrainian commanders around Bakhmut have recently complained that none of the fancy new shit has reached them, they have less ammo than crybaby Prigozhin and that these advances are just small probing actions because they lack the weapons and ammo to do anything serious.
        Russian sources have been in agreement with them.

        The idea is that Bakhmut is a side-show and the troops are there to just keep Russians pinned down. New counter offensive will be where Russia is at their weakest.

          Doesn't make it feel any better for the people fighting and dying for this sideshow.
          Especially when it's becoming increasingly common knowledge that corrupt politicians and companies in the west are still supplying Russia with essential electronics, ball bearings and optics.

    Maybe it's a dumb question, but if the flanks are weak, why don't the Ukrainians use the full leverage of these fresh "counter offensive" units to encircle wagner in Bakhmut?

    • 10 months ago

      Because in the large scale of things, whether Wagner exists or not has zero bearing on the outcome of the war. Ukraine is better off using that counteroffensive strength to strike somewhere that makes Russia's hold on more strategically important areas untenable.

        Makes sense I guess. I thought that with these units and the weak flanks it would have been a piece of cake to get rid of wagner in Bakhmut so that these units could be still used later on for other operations (I don't know shit about warfare so that's probably wrong).

          Bakhmut was always supposed to be a sinkhole for Russian resources and those local counterattacks serve this purpose. Priggy has the ability to b***h and moan for more ammo while posing in front of mercenary corpses, something mobiks and regulars can't do. It's very likely Wagner has been on top of Russian priority list for ammunition distribution and if they are b***hing about low supplies then imagine how shell starved the average DPR or mobik unit is
          The Ukies could probably use some offensive guard brigades to roll Bakhmut flanks completely, but honestly the continuous existence of Wagner is detrimental to Russian defensive efforts

        It means the last defensible areas in Bakhmut are about to be taken/abandoned. Thus the fighting in the city will come to an end, but the battle around Bakhmut itself will be far from over.

          Most of the city was already taken weeks ago though? It's been just the west part of the city and thats it.

        I think that depends on how fortified a city actually is. Mariupol is many times larger, but it was taken with much more ease as it was not as fortified since they did not expect what happened

    In Kiev's realm, amid strife's cruel demand,
    Ukrainians guarded their banana hoard, grand.
    Through fires of war, their spirits unbowed,
    Resisting Putin's grasp, their treasure proud.

    Defying Monkey King and his hordes so vast,
    They shielded their fruit, resilient and steadfast.
    In the face of turmoil, their unity held strong,
    Banana hoard concealed, against all wrong.

    Through perilous nights and battles fought,
    Their spirit unwavering, lessons taught.
    Their cunning and courage, a shield they wore,
    Bananas remained safe, Putin's plan no more.

    In Kiev's embrace, their victory proclaimed,
    Banana hoard protected, hearts unchained.
    Ukrainians triumphed, a resolute band,
    Defending their treasure, in their homeland.
