Offhand I can think of at least a couple that would be comparable,if not in fact actually worse:
The Saudi invasion of yemen in 2015 and the israeli invasion of lebanon in 2006.Both of these militaries failed utterly in their war aims,despite their military forces having [on paper] massive military advantages.
Plus last time I looked the war in the ukraine still wasnt officially over yet,so I`d say its just a tad premature to call it a russian "defeat for the ages",that would be something more along the lines of what the iraqis suffered during the 100 hours of ground combat to liberate kuwait during operation desert storm in 1991.
Well said.
It seems (not seems, it just is) like the Western lead information war is causing way too much detrimental damage to the actual on the ground facts, so much so that we're seeing people believe completely fabricated realities in place of real ones.
Clearly Ukraine is going to lose, there is zero possibility of them winning or much less ending up in any superior position. The number of Russian casualties and loss of equipment, however embarrassing, doesn't change the fact that significant amounts of Ukrainian territory are currently under the control of Russian forces with more towns and cities falling each week. The number of losses for Ukrainian forces is astronomically higher compared to the Russian military. Any "official" numbers pointing to the opposite are simply citing extremely biased sources that have a vested interest in spinning this war as an "Ukrainian victory". It's nonsense personified and I can't believe I actually fell for it..... This doesn't explicitly take away from the legit wins or battles UKR-forces have won (however many) but to actually think the Russians are being "routed" or are straight losing (lol) is beyond academic negligence at this point. One only need look at the sham of an "investigation" supposedly being carried by Ukraine itself in order to determine what happened in Bucha... I mean just how much more information do you need to understand that those bodies were almost certainly killed by right wing radical elements when they came into town shortly after the Russians left. Most likely died due to neighbors ratting those who helped out the Russians (in anyway) so they made examples out of them. We know this is a possibility due to damning videos coming out of Ukrainian servicemen torturing and killing Russian POWs. So it isn't outside the realm of possibility that a general "kill Russians/Russian collaborators" order was given.
Onto equipment: Zelensky is asking for weapons and equipment because the ones he had are all destroyed and the ones that are being funneled in aren't enough to win the war. I sincerely wonder just how many of these photos are either doctored, manipulated or are using obliterated Ukrainian equipment as a stand in for Russian armor.
Orxy, Rob Lee, Elint News, Aurora Intel and so many others are simply spewing total nonsense in order to push a version of this war that just doesn't exist on the ground (whatsoever). As before, anything coming out of the mouth of Americans is to be either completely ignored or taken with the largest grain of salt possible.
Russia's faint around Kiev was a simple wartime tactic (literally theatre conflict 101) to get Ukraine to commit a decent bulk of armor and men in order to defend the city. ~45,000 RUS-troops were never going to be able to take the city of millions but tens of thousands of UKR-forces were needed (logically) to defend it. So they did and the Russians made sweeping progress in the south due to UKR-forces being spread across a vast area.
Now the focus is firmly in the Donbass region with the eventual goal being the siege and or takeover of Odessa (all of Southern Ukraine).
- Russia controls the war
- Russia controls the pace
- Russia controls the skies (contrary to Western disinformation)
- Russia controls the seas
- Russia controls the information on the battle
Where the Russian Federation was always going to fail was the PR/information war. They were going to be made a mockery out of in this field no matter what they did and they knew that, so I guess it really doesn't matter...
Anyways, we'll see what's gonna happen next I guess lol.
