Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By elcope: Well, now that we're all hungry for slavic won tons and dumpling stew  what're the odds that the Ukrainians are going to open a new axis of attack on Melitipol?It's something I really want to see. It would set them up perfectly for the Winter to weaken and destabilize the South. Wreak havoc on the Crimean supply lines. (I don't think there's any rail coming through Mariupol ) I'm not sure they have the forces for a 3rd offensive, so I don't know. But if they do, I think they are on the clock as soon as they secure the dam. In the mean time, keep drawing in RU reinforcements and grinding them up. If they don't have the forces, then I'm guessing it won't be until after the Kherson pocket is collapsed and UA can take advantage of the geography to defend there and shift forces over to the Zap front. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By gentlemanfarmer: I am telling everyone here from the bottom of my heart that westerns have played a role in strategy but it ain’t guys on government payrolls, and they literally just ask questions after a plan is spitballed. There is no master control hive of NATO generals moving chess pieces here. We give intelligence but Ukrainian military and the few political sin the know are not trusted FOR GOOD REASONS have you seen us pull any kind of large scale anything without someone leaking it for money or fame or promises of future promotion. if you were General Zeluzny… would you trust your American colleague you just met to know about your supplies? Troop numbers? Locations or even operational details? Are you nuts? Add NATO generals and Allies who work with other Allies? Does NATO keep secrets? Dam Son turn on the TV. How much would Russia pay or promise or what wouldn’t they do to get that kind of access? They wouldn’t threaten to expose your presidents finances? Polonium your tea? Kidnap your stupid teenage daughter? It’s pre ww2 level opsec going on. It’s compartmrntslized like a giant intelligence op. Southern commanders don’t know about what’s going on or intended in north. I’m not sure the president even gets involved because he knows his entourage is target numero uno. He just gives general permissions, goals, and limitations. then They kick all but say 10 guys out and that’s it. We might give a how the usa would do it with some imaginary us force, they might take parts of that but it’s 10 smart trust worthy guys and maybe 2 are westerners of proven value in strategy. Likely Retired. I can put some names out there but won’t. I don’t know for sure. And there are some it modeling geeks but they are Ukrainians or adopted Ukrainians. Theres nothing you said I disagree with. I imagine the Western contribution is to provide a zero fog of war picture of the threat. "The enemy is very weak here, strong there" |

For what it's worth, thanks for standing up for Ukraine. I don't really have the option to be indifferent since it's our home here. As an American I can leave, but I have others that don't want to, or medically can't tolerate the travel. We keep our heads up and enjoy every moment we can. I hope some of you guys make it out here after this is all over. It is truly a place worth visiting at least once. The first time I came here I couldn't stop thinking about coming back. Now I pray for the peace to return to everyone here. |

I don’t get the Putin sympathies on the right. Nor do I understand why people are so quick to brand someone’s support for Ukraine and agreement with providing weapons and resources as some embrace of liberal policies and approval of Biden. Not everything is black and white. Not ever act a Democrat or Republican admin takes is right or wrong. Some things we all should be able to agree upon and preventing Russia from gross land grabs premised on fictions and carried out through human rights violations seems worthwhile all around. I get that there are complexities to UK’s past and this admin, questions about corruption, etc., but at the end of the day, none of that seems to change the base assessment that supporting UK is both morally sound and sensible from a geopolitical standpoint. Anyway, all of this is to say, I hear your frustration. You are not alone. |

I just sit here like wtf? what the fuck is going on?? ..I completely agree. And I don't think it's ever going to change "back". I joined this site 10 years ago, and I lurked on and off for a few years before that. When I joined this site I would have described it as a site about ARs, the 2A and firearms in general with a strongly conservative political slant. Now I think site is more about far right conspiracy theories and anger at everything than it is about the 2A or guns. The world has fundamentally changed in the past 5 years or so, and this has broken a lot of the people who are on this site. People who would have told you they were tough, indepenent resilient people weren't. They were fragile. And they broke. Threads about this conflict, about a major land war in Europe, are a great example of how completely broken so many people are now. They cannot view anything with a critical lens. Everything that happens is viewed based on their extreme political tribalism. Threads like this one, and a few tech forums, are what keep me coming back. But I've made the decision to start spending more of my time on other forums. They are smaller forums, with very little "general discussion". But all of the threads are about topics that interest me.

Expecting this to be disproven by the end of the day.
LPR will be able to repel a possible attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Svatovo and Kremennaya, the Ministry of Internal Affairs said https://ria.ru/20221006/lnr-1821960029.html MOSCOW, Oct. 6 - RIA Novosti. The forces and means are sufficient to repel a possible attempt by Ukrainian troops to break through the defense line in the area of Svatovo and Kremenna, Said on Thursday, LPR Police Colonel Vitaly Kiselev. "We have enough forces and weapons to repel this attack," Kiselyov said on Channel One. According to him, the situation on the line of combat contact continues to be extremely difficult, but reinforcements are "constantly approaching." The situation in the Krasno Liman direction remains tense after the withdrawal of Russian troops from Krasny Liman. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By elcope: Well, now that we're all hungry for slavic won tons and dumpling stew what're the odds that the Ukrainians are going to open a new axis of attack on Melitipol?I forwarded the recipes to my son, so hopefully, I can try some without having to do any work myself. I've been looking at the Melitopol area. I think I said back in August that a successful attack through Melitopol could almost be a war-winner politically, splitting the land bridge. It's pretty obvious that Putin only has two objectives left on the table: Own the Donbas, and own a land bridge to Crimea. (I doubt he admits that keeping ownership of Crimea is even a question.). And the Ukrainians can't look forward to an offensive crossing the lower Dnepr. Maybe unless circumstances take that dam/bridge at Nova K in the current confusion. It's not a great distance to Melitopol and you have the active partisans there to help. So far though, the Ukrainians have been very conservative in their offensive strategy. They've avoided any deep breakthroughs straight into enemy territory where they have to defend flanks on opposite sides. It's worked for them well. I wonder if they would prefer to attack along the southern side of the reservoir where they would only have one flank. That would run into the nuclear power plant and that runs its own set of risks. I notice that the defending Russians on the Melitopol axis are heavy in naval infantry units that haven't been heavily engaged. In the current Russian state, they might be some of their best remaining units. It's an interesting question. It probably depends on what happens around Kherson. The Ukrainians might just not have enough resources (combat or support) for three simultaneous offensives. |

Smells more like a butthurt underling leaked it or something. But then why hasn’t Zelensky eaten a cruise missile? Why hasn’t Kiev been subject to massive bombing? I thought it was bascially courtesy psyop. Ton of create a martyr etc. “It’s classified” is the only official answer. There were rumors that a high-level FSB source tipped off Zelensky as to the 300 or so Wagner infiltrators who Putin sent to assassinate Zelensky very early in the war. That’s the rumor anyway. Who did this? If the person is known in Russia, they are surely dead by now. Why would someone do that? Who knows why? Or - if any of this happened at all: - maybe a power with surveillance capability (like maybe a Western power) intercepted communications about the planned assassination, and maybe they shared it with another intelligence group like maybe an agency or something, who tipped off Zelensky, and: - they blamed it on a non-existant FSB mole, just to f**k with the FSB and spread paranoia. But this is all just speculation, of course. |
