Why did Russia get crushed in the beginning but now they are doing well?
Capturing small insignificant towns, while your economic situation deteriorates is the text book definition of attrition warfare. It's clear that Russian's didn't study German defeat in WW1 before planning their strategy. During that war, mot a single allied troops stepped on German soil, yet Germany completely capitulated because it was fighting the entire world from Asia to South America by 1918.
>>519878831Russia didn't lose at the start theu had to get rid of the biolabs so they weren't under biological attack.
>>519878831Russia is going to come out of this war with a true modern war ready army. Nobody else in the world will have one.I wonder how that can be used to recoup investment loses in current war?
>>519878831>went from besieging the capital in a few days to sacrificing thousands of men for small towns nowYou can win anything if you lower your standards.
>>519879097the capital is already russian culturally, historically and ethnically....no need to demolish the future city of your western edge
>>519879215Yeah the people of Kiev support Russia.
>>519878831Most of these are small cities, and it take them months to capture each, all with high casualties.
>>519878831>half of those battles take place in towns under <5000 prewar population>in Russian maths it's worth losing 10x the prewar population of a town now in ruinsRussia not fucking off is the definition of sunk cost
>>519879277the people of Kiev are nothing but gibs whores, they will support whoever is in charge and dont forget half of them voted for the russian candidateyou live isolated and deserted and hate by your own government, no one supports you anymore you are the loud parking terrier that is a few decades from being stepped on for eternity
>>519879015>>519879362>we never needed our super pooper fortress cities anywayLmao
>>519879318yes this is why the body exchanges are always 10:1 ukranians to russians you clown hahaha>>519879362your race is literally 5'7 pasta eaters, your existence is the definition of roman sunk cost and 20,000 slavs could subdue you if they were unchained your people are either short and weak or fat and weak and are known since 1938 as being militarily USELESS whenever your "people" come here i skip them in the line and call them gypsies if they complain
>>519879029none of this will matter all the gains in experience and expertise will dissipate in 5 years. See - the korean war.
>>519879430>you live isolated and deserted and hate by your own government, no one supports you anymore you are the loud parking terrier that is a few decades from being stepped on for eternityYeah idk what this is about. But it's true that they overwhelmingly support Russia they know their government has been overtaken by nazis. A big aspect of the SMO is fighting nazism.
>>519879430>>519879631...stop
>>519879786It's true. Real Ukrainian patriots want to become a part of Russia again. They've seen what Poland has become under the EU and want nothing tindo with it.
