The most obvious piece of evidence that its bullshit is that if their “counteroffensive” had any real chance of succeeding they wouldn’t be announcing it to the whole world
yeah it’s pure theatre, what self respecting military announces their offensive plans to the enemy
Yeah this isn’t a real military strategy, this is just more fodder for the inevitable Ukraine War movie they’re gonna make.
I’m already thinking up excuses to miss out on Captain Ukraine starring Zelensky
I’m more concerned about the possibility it’ll be just NATO soldiers in UAF uniforms. They’re already using NATO gear, so that won’t stand out, and there’s been talks among soldiers that intercepted UAF Comms are increasingly go in English. So they can shove a USMC brigade there without much notice
