If someone wants to win, he chooses the most effective steps to achieve his goals.
The actions of the Russian leadership, on the other hand, have consistently been the worst to achieve victory.
1) Any offensive is effective when launched suddenly and unexpectedly. However, Putin kept Russian soldiers on the border with Ukraine for over a month before the offensive, which allowed the U.S. to fix it and give Ukraine many Javelin anti-tank missile systems, which were then used to destroy Russian convoys. This is sabotage.
In addition, the soldiers were kept in winter in field conditions and many got sick.
2) For a successful offensive, one usually chooses the most convenient time of the year. For example, Hitler attacked Russia in June. What date did Putin choose? The end of February, when mud and muddy weather prevented vehicles from moving through Ukrainian territory. A lot of equipment was stuck in Ukrainian fields. The end of February is the worst time for an offensive.
3) The success of the offensive guarantees the right choice of location. Usually one chooses the weakest place, or the place where a strike ensures that the enemy forces are cut off from supplies. As a rule, forces for an attack are concentrated in one or two main directions. What has Putin done? He divided the Russian army forces into eight directions. Thus, there was no direction of the main strike.
Considering that the advancing forces were also smaller than the Ukrainian ones (which contradicts the rules of military art), it can be argued that the failure was predetermined. It was a diversion.
4) A Russian group of 25,000 men was thrown on Kiev. It is impossible to take such a big city with such a small force, this is pure madness.
More precisely – another diversion.
5) After the first failures, it was possible to regroup forces, and choosing the most vulnerable direction to hit it. This is the basics of military art. Instead, Putin and his staff chose … the most fortified and unpromising direction in which the Ukrainians had been entrenched and fortified for eight years. They chose to strike in the Donbass agglomeration, where they destroyed Russian army forces with crazy head-on strikes.
Answer the question yourself – who can lead like this, the supporters of Russia’s victory, or its enemies?
It could be argued that the Russian leadership is fighting on the side of the enemy.
6) The aviation of the Russian Federation in the first days did not operate at all, which also helped the defenders. In some directions aviation did not operate for almost a month. In addition, aviation is ineffective, and one cannot speak of air supremacy. Ukraine’s armies are creating a comfortable defensive position.
7) Putin and his propagandists have been telling for years how great they have trained and re-equipped the Russian army, but there are almost no new weapons. They fight exclusively with old Soviet equipment. There are no Armata tanks, which have been shown on TV for years. There are not even Soviet T-90 tanks, there were about 250 of them, although India, for example, has 1000 such tanks.
There are not enough drones. There are no guided missiles for aviation, which makes aviation ineffective.
This is a diversion of an earlier period.
8) After capturing the Kiev suburbs, Putin withdrew his troops. Many military officials point out that there was no such need.
9) The surrender of Kherson is quite strange. The same Strelkov said that there was no such need. This can only be explained by underhand arrangements, such as the opportunity to trade in ammonia.
10) The cruiser “Moscow” was destroyed under strange circumstances. It seems as if it was deliberately led to slaughter. It was not equipped with sufficient air defense equipment and should have been accompanied by other ships, but it was not.
But it’s not just Russia’s side that has many oddities in this fake war.
We look at the offensive of Ukrainian forces in the Kharkov and Kherson regions.
After rapidly occupying territories that the Russian army had virtually abandoned without a fight. The offensive suddenly stopped, although in such cases it is necessary to squeeze the maximum out of the situation while the enemy is demoralized.
The U.S. and its allies suddenly began talking about problems with the transfer of equipment.
The war was suspended.
This means that those who really run the war do not need a Ukrainian victory, just as they do not need a victory for Russia.
The purpose of the war is the war itself.
If you ask me, Putin in this war is the executor of someone else’s will.
Remove the value of life and try to figure out who stands to benefit from this war the most and THAT is most likely who is behind it
The US doesn’t need a strong Russia nor does it need Russia to be destroyed.
They are satisfied with an enemy they can use for propaganda purposes and I’m not even talking about the fact that Putin basically resurrected NATO, boosted American weaponry production, allowed the US to take over European gas and petrol markets etc.
The only country that actually benefits from this war is the US. And who rules the US?
Hello?
This war will end only when 15 minute cities are complete, when electric cars are dominating and when you will eat ze bugz.
🇷🇺 cannot win because the entire western world has lined up behind 🇺🇦. At the same time, 🇷🇺 is a nuclear power, and a nuclear power cannot be cornered because they may trigger a nuclear war. We need a ceasefire and peace talks. The sooner the better. #RussiaUkraineWar pic.twitter.com/PU5X5h4kkH
