UKRAINE WAR: THE RUSSIANS ARE TRYING HARD TO ATTACK

(005320.38-:E-003569.93:N-HO:R-SU:C-30:V)   

The stupid crybaby war in Israel is causing people to forget the very real, extremely violent war between Russia and Ukraine.

There has been one surprising development in recent weeks and it is that with the Ukrainians not really having made much progress this summer, the Russians have decided to go on the counter offensive. The Russians have been attacking on a massive scale in many planes.

However, the Russians are making less progress than the Ukrainians were. Even more interesting is that a LOT of Russians are being killed. There is no doubt that the Russian losses in this war are at least twice as many dead as those of the Ukrainians.

But, the Russians are having no better luck than the Ukrainians.

I think, that the best option for the Ukrainians, is to simply stop going on the offense and to rather just stay on the defence permanently, except for when they can do "weird" operations with Special Forces.

If they operate like this, then they’ll require less weapons and ammo and they will lose less lives. It seems to me the Ukrainians have their defensive game pretty well sorted out and if they operate like that, then they’ll be able to survive for longer.

When the Russians go on the offensive, the Russians have been shot to pieces, but it is a Russian tradition to just keep on attacking in human waves. The Russians have been like this for centuries. You can even read about this type of approach in the time of Napoleon. The Russians will just keep on attacking for a long time despite the human cost.

One area where the Russians have lost a LOT, relates to weaponry, especially tanks and artillery. It will take them years, and perhaps more than a decade, to replace much of what they have lost.

The one area where Ukraine has pulled off a feat is with regard to Russian heavy weapon losses. That is one area where the Russians will NOT be recovering any time soon.

The Russians are hoping that Trump might come to power and that he might stop the war, or pull the plug on Ukraine. Trump is a whole other topic.
