4 years later…can /pol/ recall the moment they realized Putin’s SMO went horribly wrong?
>>534910954When the attack on Kiev failed. After that, my prediction became that Russia would win a Pyrrhic victory where they secured control of the Donbass and a land bridge to Crimea but at immense cost,
>>534910954Here's why, watch this!>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkz2-cWHPbghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkz2-cWHPbg
>>534910954I didn't realize Russia had lost until 2025. Russia's advance was supposed to start accelerating that year, but instead it was slowing down.
>>534910954looks like he achieved the objective a long time ago. He got what he wanted and hasn't bothered to advance further. He could literally crush all of Ukraine if he likes, but they're just not consequential. He captured the lithium deposits and the bioweapons labs. Game was over years ago.
>>534910954Yeah, 1st week with hostomel and then that convoy getting stuck; was pretty obvious then that the Russians were absolute dogshit at war.
>>534912117Ukraine lines have been collapsing for months, retard.Its almost over
>>534910954Around 2 weeks inYou can say the same for the Iran war, both miserable operations compared to the blitz of Iraq
>>53491095475 days later and you still have 0% control of this.you sure like to throw stones in glass houses.
>>534912226>almost overtwo more weeks?
>>534910954>can /pol/ recall the moment they realized Putin’s SMO went horribly wrong?It was when the Pickle Granny of Kyiv threw her jars and wiped out entire battalions of subhuman zigger orcs. 2 more weeks, and Le Ukraine will march on Moscow. Slobber Ukrainey!
>>534910954
A few days after the spectacular failure of the initial assault, I guess. My assumption was they would cut their losses, but I guess no superpower does that without spending many lives of their young men and trillions of taxpayer money first.
>>534912323This
Iran war is nothing like Ukraine, don't get me wrong it was a bad decision to start it, but Iran has no major support like the west was giving Ukraine. The average citizen is probably facing some level of starvation.
>>534912404There is no extractable lithium in ukraine.100% bullshit and EXACTLY the same lie they told us 20 years ago in Afganistan.>The war will pay for itself!Dont be sheep
>>534912226Kek nigger lol
>>534912821You have me confused with your moms boyfriend.So why was Zelensky just in Germany begging for his refugees to be sent back to ukraine in chains to serve as cannon fodder?>https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-war-latest-russian-ignores-easter-ceasefire/>Key developments on April 13:>Ukrainian forces withdraw from villages in eastern Sumy Oblast amid heavy fighting
>>534912974I think I found you dawg.
>>534910954That moment was when the convoy to kiev got destroyed and the war started.
>>534913233I dont understand your meme faggot shillAre you saying everyone who doesnt suck Zelenskys cock like you do is being paid by Russia?Funny how Russia has never been caught paying anybody to say anything in its history.Zelensky to staff:>We need Geobbels levels of propaganda!
>>534913474No I am saying that you seething zigger kikes predict le hecking dead of ukraine in two more weeks since february 2022. Its beyond pathetic and sad at this point but it still is very funny.
>>534913528>you dont worship my master Zelensky so you must be Russia.VPN!
>>534912122Yeah annexing Kherson Oblast and then abandoning Kherson City was apart of the plan
>>534911075>When the attack on Kiev failedAh yes the famous attack...where a division of paras was wiped out, yet zero footage...weird they show the slightest W over and over, yet this which would be a massive W is nowhere to be seen...
ITT
>>534913661>If only le hecking evil zelensky would die all the ukies would welcome russia with open armsImagine being this much of a dumb nigger lol.
>>534913827I know a lot of chinks from Australia
>>534912323Um thats intentional though. Its all part of a super smart, multi-layered strategy. We're actually winning but we've fooled everyone into thinking we're losing.
>>534910954I like how wrong it goes, I hope we finally lose, don't take the whole Ukraine, stop in Ukraine, don't take whole Europe and just take the land painted in red on your picture. Ukraine didn't want those separatist regions anyway.
>>534914096I thought Putin blocked the internet in Russia?
>>534914139It is partially blocked by Russia, partially blocked by the West for Russian IPs. Russia blocks on ISP level, not all ISPs implement those blocks.
>>534910954They are gog and magog of the bible, part of them. They are fated to lose, eternally.
>implying its overyou wish cockhole
>>534910954Probably at the same time their merc army turned around and marched toward Russia, then they had to take out civilian airliners to off the guy responsible for their mercs. Why does no one talk about that anymore?
>>534913909Thats what the lady kinda saidThe people live in fear of thier own governmentThe people of ukraine consider the men who escaped the country past the minefields at the border to keep people in the "real heros of ukraine".Its not even up for debate>https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/4111105-kyrylo-budanov-head-of-the-presidential-office-lieutenant-general.htmlBudanov:– Unity begins with the individual citizen and extends all the way to the Verkhovna Rada, the Office of the President, the President, ministries, the Cabinet—everything must function in harmony. If we continue to live in a situation where, simultaneously, a hero is both a soldier defending the country and someone evading mobilization, we will not get far.T.K.: Based on your experience, what would you advise? How can a society facing this kind of split—where “heroes” include both those fighting and those fleeing across the Tysa River—find unity?– It’s actually quite simple: we need to grow up. Take a step back and look at the situation objectively. What happens if everyone chooses to evade service? Will Ukraine remain on the political map of the world? No—it will not.There should be no illusions about this. The country would cease to exist—even the name would disappear. And there would be no one left to live here. Many people think it will somehow work itself out—that others will step in and fix things. That is not the case. It will not work out. Everything will be taken.Tetiana Kohutych, Ukrinform
>>534912323We have a naval blockade of iranian ports. Slowly disabling their tanker fleet. Taking zero daily casualties. Softening them up for picrel. They are having to dump their oil into the ocean, in order to save their pipeline infrastructure and wells. Taking 0 casualties daily. Meanwhile, the russian race are dying demographically, and will become a minority in russia, and never recover from the SMO.Once the iranian power grid is taken out, (picrel), they are finished. They will die by the thousands.
>>534913886The russian race is finished. They will never recover demographically. They will never have a baby boom.
>>534914598Yea ocean oil dumping!Not as fun as dumping batteries in the ocean but they dont mention that these days.Still fun!Ploop ploop goes the oil glug glug!
>massive oil fires on three continents>oil dumped into the oceanMeanwhile Greta is having incel orgies on top of bags of rice meant for sandniggers in Gaza.Zero enviornmental faggots have anything to say about itJust proves everything you see and hear in the media is government approved propaganda
>>534910954>went horribly wrong?source?Hohol summer offensive when?
>>534913827They were trying to repeat what they did in Almaty a few weeks earlier, where VDV seized airport, allowing airlift of troops directly into city.VDV successfully took Hostomel but airlift never arrived, and land invasion was too slow, so they were cut off and destroyed.
>>534910954Yes
>>534914489Grade A zigger cope n seethe
>>534913661You are retarded.
>>534910954Putin was paying 1.5B a year to send water to Crimea after the ukranians blocked the canal after he conquered Crimea.He has now conquered the river and turned the canal water back on. Mission accomplished
>>534915431I remember when this was Assad’s meme
>>534910954Yeah when that 50km convoy to Kiev got bombed and turned around
>>534913827Here you go gook, hopefully a feral nigger rapes your mother while your gook dad is gooning with his 1inch penis
>>534910954Getting booted from Kharkov was probably the most consequential one after what happened early on.They would've had donetsk by now if they held onto that and they'd be currently advancing deeper into Kharkov/Dnipropetrovsk.Delayed that from happening by a solid 1.5-2.5 years I'd say.
Im getting fatigued of this, cant imagine why russians are not utterly demoralized afrer 5 years of zero progress.This is not 1820 where you fought wars with muskets and cannonballs, like when america got BTFO by britain
when they abandoned the northern offensive
>>534910954Everything became clear within the first 72 hours.
>>534916340The canal was fed by water from the Kakhovka Reservoir. The Reservoir that now no longer exists because Russia blew up the dam back in 2023.The Canal is Dry and empty and it has been for years now.
ukraine had NET gains the last month or so, first time in a long time.
>>534915238EVERYTHING IS A LIE EXCEPT FOR RUSSIA SAYS CAUSE RUSSIA ALWAYS TELLS THE TRUTH!!!!TWO MORE WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>534917255Did they really? Where on the front? Their largest counter attack happened in Zaporizhzhia but a good chunk of that has been rolled back now.
>>534917514Also on Zaporizhzhia and it was mostly the Russians had spent the previous months sending a few dozen guys like 50 miles ahead in outposts that they kept in contact with through starlink. If the Ukrainians tried to remove those guys to push the front back, they'd get on the starlink and Russia would throw some drones or artillery fire at the Ukrainians.This allowed Russia to hold a part of the front with almost no people, just some guys with starlink.Then the Starlink turned off and suddenly those guys couldn't call for help anymore.So Ukraine rolled them up cause there really weren't that many of them.
killing all these nafoids will be a generational cleansing
>>534910954Since retreat from Kiyv, this war is a haggling session of how hard Russia will lose. They could have went with a sizable territorial gains after a frontline stalemate a year ago, but it seems that Putin went for an absolute, humiliating, defeat.
Massive Russian diaper leakage over the last week
>>534917121well dam! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
>>534910954Pretty much from the start.
