Oh Pyro, you never learn... how do you suppose the Kherson corridor trap was created?
It's exactly the same Russian tactic of withdrawing from little settlements to suck in the happy Ukie forces deep into captured territory and then close off the top and incinerate them!
No the Russians didn't plan any trap in Kherson , nor did they plan anything in the Izyum area.
They certainly didn't plan losing an SU-25 there in just 24 hours, nor did they plan blowing up all bridges to Balakliya town of 25K which is now encircled and isolated from 3 sides... The situation in Izyum is serious, trust my words...
Oh, so the delusions are withering.
Welcome to the real world.
You better believe the situation is serious. And maybe one day we will welcome you with a softer side and sympathy towards the plight of the Ukrainians in their own country.
Any updates on the fall of Bakhmout? How is that going for the Russians? Surely they must be getting close?
No delusions at all. I always knew there was a problem concerning the number of Russian troops.
I always knew that massive artillery strikes are not enough Vs an enemy who has a million+ to spare.
Having completed my military service, I know damn well that Artillery and Air strikes should be followed by tanks and then infantry. The Russians (and the Americans in other places as e.g. in Iraq) don't do that. They instead use their superiority in the air, or artillery to "fight" safely. I also know that taking towns means street fighting which is extremely difficult especially when the enemy hides inside the buildings just like what the Ukrainians do.
What we are now witnessing in Izyum is the result of all that Russian deficiency in personnel...
I was always in favor of the Russians. I will never feel sympathy for the Ukrainians, having developed a Nazi state that was attacking, torturing, raping, robbing and suppressing the Russian majority in the East and South to the point of even getting punished of speaking their own language. I do hope the Ukrainians will lose all territory which was never theirs on the first place.
The Ukrainians ARE NOT FIGHTING for their lands, they are fighting for lands that were never theirs. They are not fighting for their freedom or civil liberties either as the Russians did not expel any minority of Ukrainians from the East. The worst advice any one could give to the Russians would be to take the whole of Ukraine. They won't. They will take only as much as they need.
Do you know anything of Greek History Paphitis? Where did the Greek revolution start from? Didn't the "Filiki Etaireia" start in Odessa by Greek-Russians? Did it ever start in "Ukraine" for Christ sake????
Was Mariupol, Melitoupol, Odessa, Sevastoupol, Oleksandrivka (Μαριουπολη, Μελιτουπολη, Οδησσος, Σεβαστουπολη, Αλεξανδρουπολη) ever Ukrainian just to name a few? Were they always Russian towns with Greek Russian speakers yes or no?
Ukrainian imish... Really?
