Yep, Ukraine is a big place, and the Russians are (or at least were) advancing 30km/day. That means, for example, it’ll take a week or two to get from the eastern border to the river even if you faced no opposition. Screw “is Russia doing well or not”, Putin physically could not have won by now without teleportation magic or a bombing campaign of the same magnitude as Vietnam

Exactly, even taking yknow, yknow, actual fighting out of the mix entirely, armies move slower than your sedan cause it’s several vehicles and people moving in strategic unison so they don’t get killed. And the overall goal doesn’t seem to be to drop napalm on people until they abandon communism so Vietnam shit doesn’t really help your goals. Wars can be fought to force a surrender, not to permanently brutalize a nation. You can accept Japan’s conditional surrender and not bomb Hiroshima for example.

The State Department predicted Kiev would fall in 96 hours, so Ukraine is actually dominating the Asiatic Mongol horde invaders and sending Muslim orcs to hell.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
