Great post. Are Russia’s “extensive fortifications” a double edged sword?

They will tie up large numbers of Russian troops in locations not central to the battle. Also, once breached, the potential to encircle poorly equipped and supplied conscripts will present itself. Finally, EVERYTHING Russian in the war so far -- every weapons system, military branch, tactic and strategy -- has proved to be overhyped and underwhelming. Will these fortifications prove to be any different? One hopes not.

Slava Ukraini and thanks again for your posts!

Style Almost WWI slaughter, over 200,000 Ukrainian men dead and similar on the Russian side. Lot’s of talk about the offensives and Ukraine winning. That wont happen, they have run out of troops. Where are these new troops coming from? Arguably WWIII has already started. NATO troops and advisors already in action as “contractors”. The US is now considering sending F16s. Dear God, just listen to yourselves. I am a military vet and I am scared to death that we will all be dragged into another US Deep State FU. this proxy war must stop. Let’s have a post on how the hell this nightmare can be brought to an end.
