Almost whole Kharkiv Oblast is lost because of ‘‘tactics’’ by whoever is in command, tactics of retreating over and over again, losing land, then taking it back, again losing it over and over and over again for months. Leaving civillians behind who will get slaughtered by nazis. Ukronazis almost entered LPR, Donetsk is still suffering after 8 years with no end in sight, they freerly bomb settlements and kill everyone who speaks Russian and what does Russia do?
SHOWING MERCY ON NAZIS, heal their soldiers when they capture them and then let them scot free after. Spare civil infrastructure and strategic locations, roads, everything important in Ukraine, sparing them over and over again while they are slaughtering people and want to kill every Russian and Russian ally on this planet!!! Instead of launching an offensive steamrolling the Ukrainian cities, bomb the shit out of their military and destroy every strategic location. What can other people who need protection from Russia expect after this? What can Abghazia and South Ossetia, Transnistria and others expect?
I don’t know what did I expect with bourgeoisie in power, without Red Army and without Zhukov or generals like him…
We must stick to China for protection against western hordes if the war breaks out as it seems…
What are your opinions on the state of war and how long will this last like this?
What is the situation in Syria like? It’s possible they may consider that the more important front in the war against US imperialism, and are diverting more resources there.
That’s a good point and definitely plays a role. I’ve not followed Syria too closely in the past months, but afaik it’s looking like it’s entering something like an end-stage (ignoring the Yankee elephant in the room) with Syria and Turkey rekindling relations recently.
Azerbaijan-Armenia is another conflict that could draw in Russian troops at any moment, Georgia still isn’t exactly a friend of Russia either. Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan had skirmishes a day or two ago too. They can’t just chug their entire army into Ukraine and leave all that exposed.
In general, to me at least, it seems like the larger geopolitical and economic situation is more important to the Russian leadership than the fighting on the ground. They’re battling NATO globally, not just in Donbass. The main ‘battle’ atm probably isn’t Kharkov or Bakhmut, but Samarkand.
how do you follow Syria? I don’t have those channels.
