Re: news from Russo-Ukraine Front
Depends on what one means by cost. Cost is not always in casualties. Attacks can be much less costly to the attacker than the defender if the quality of the operation is very good, and the troops/equipment/ammunition/unit are very good.gebhk wrote: ↑11 Oct 2022, 10:29Absolute rubbish, I'm afraid. There is always the choice of the type of action a force is ordered to undertake. It boils down to attacking, defending or retreating. Attacking is always more costly, which is why no one does it without stacking the odds in one's favour and unless there is a good chance of a significant payoff.
Of course, having high quality units is also costly (in training and investment) in a sense. Also having material superiority in terms of ammunition is costly in another sense. Having expensive weapons systems is also costly.
Perhaps is more rare that a low cost unit attacks and beats a high cost unit in every major respect.
Re: news from Russo-Ukraine Front
That is anachronistic and irrelevant. Imperial German and British empire-building mostly took place over a century ago using methods compatible with the then current status of international law as against the disgusting conduct of current criminal Ruffians and their "special needs military operation".ljadw wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 09:27Imperialist-aggressive is not the same as bandit .Imperial Germany and Britain were not bandits but were imperialist and aggressive.peeved wrote: ↑12 Oct 2022, 22:54Since Russia is an imperialist-aggressive bandit state ruled by compulsively lying genocidal maniacs leading armed forces of evil with an overrepresentation (in comparison with civilised countries) of thieves, rapists and murderers anti-Russian equals pro-good in the framework of the current conflict.
Also if according to you WW2 lessons are obsolete, why do you constantly use even older ones to justify Vladdemort's and his cohorts' crimes?
Then why has madman Putler at least since the 2nd Chechen War been engaged in genocidal activities. Granted all psychopaths are not maniacs but they do tend to have more manic symptoms than "normal people".
There was a diference since in Belgium there appears to have been a systematic policy of reprisals etc. comparable to the British scorched earth and concentration camp use during the 2nd Boer War although the latter (earlier) was rather more brutal. The Kalisz case appears to be less due to GHQ policy and more through local German command's idiocy and troop mass hysteria.
As one might guess they were worse e.g. on the Turkish front.
Given the atrocity propaganda of the day I wouldn't be surprised if worse nomikers were used.
Since the Ruffians have from quite early on actively recruited cannon fodder from prisons their Orcpower can credibly be construed to consist of even more criminal elements than usual.
Additionally e.g. The situation of human rights in Ukraine in the context of the armed attack by the Russian Federation, 24 February to 15 May 2022 by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights shows the Orc armed forces of evil's propensity for rape, murder and other serious crimes.
BTW do finally provide proof to your statements:
...
That is only your personal opinion and the armed forces of evil's style of war.
I personally prefer a just war conducted by and large in accordance to the customs of war like the Armed Forces or Ukraine to an evil, criminal war of aggression with evil, imperialistic ambitions of nazification and genocide largely against the civilian populus, with extensive human rights violations and war crimes perpetrated by the Putinistan armed forces of evil and their evil henchmen.
So according to you "Good has no place in wartime" and "War is not evil"... Not good nor evil... Is war neutral perhaps?
Please submit proof to your claiming that war is natural and human especially in the context of the unnatural and inhuman conduct of Orc armed forces of evil.
Not by choice but under Orc coersion leading to extensive human and material losses.

That's nice. I wonder how well trained the crews are? Shiny hardware is no use without well trained and motivated operators. So far Russia seems to have a shortage of these.
Thanks

You know you're British when you drive your German car to an Irish pub for a pint of Belgian beer before having an Indian meal. When you get home you sit on your Sweedish sofa and watch American programs on your Japanese TV.

The Russians have an extreme shortage of infantry to support their armor. Little evidence that there is something wrong with their crews.
Re: news from Russo-Ukraine Front
Probably Ukrainians too with all the vehicles and other equipment Ruffians have donated.

Re: news from Russo-Ukraine Front
Nothing wrong with their crews? Why have over 400 of these magnificent tank crews fled leaving their tanks for Ukraine to use against them? They fidn't even stop to blow them up. Their morale must be sky high.

Re: news from Russo-Ukraine Front
Ehhh, guys... minor battlefield victories do not and can not overshadow the large strategic picture. This is most likely going to be a stalemate, a long and bloody affair with no end to see. Russia can deploy wave after wave of military personnel in an attempt to take more and more territories from Ukraine.
Russia's core territories are not hit, and the economic problems of Russia will not jeopardize the military budget or the country's survival; especially now that part of the third world will not side with the West in this matter, so Russia is not isolated in global trade and technology transfer.
Part of the population might be discontent, but most of the people in Russia has been either raised up in an outdated imperialist worldview and/or they've experienced the time before Putin, which was really a disorganized downfall, and the time under Putin, which was arguably a rise in almost every sense.
If Putin is killed these days, it is very much questionable whether his place would be taken by a guy like Navalnij, or by an even more radical general.
This is so sad to see. I never really understood how could idiot wars like the 30 years war or WW1 go on for years.

"Everything remained theory and hypothesis. On paper, in his plans, in his head, he juggled with Geschwaders and Divisions, while in reality there were really only makeshift squadrons at his disposal."
Re: news from Russo-Ukraine Front
It is evident that throughout this war, the Russians are giving away captured Ukrainian T-64s to the Separatists.

Talking about a genocide in Ukraine is an insult to the victims of the real genocides :Holocaust, Armenia, Rwanda, Biafra ...
Less Ukrainian civilians have been murdered in 8 months of fighting than in a short time in Rwanda . And were the Killing Fields not a genocide or the Rape of Nanking (1937 )?
Why should I believe the High Commissioner of Human Rights ,who got his information from the Ukrainian propaganda service ? Or do you say that the Russians told him how many civilians they killed ?Besides :Human Rights is an artificial notion, invented by the wokes in the US .
The proof that war is natural and human is that war exists since mankind exists . See Kain and Abel . Homo homini lupus .
I am astonished that you don't know that most armies have a tradition of raping, looting and murdering .
Do you really don't know what happened when the Crusaders conquered Jeruzalem , the Muslims Byzantium,what happened during the war of 100 years in France, what happened during Il Sacco di Roma, during the Spanish and Austrian Succession Wars,during the war of 80 years, when Napoleon's armies looted Europe ,what happened in Nanking,........the Slave Trade...? What happened when Caesar conquered Gallia, what happened when the Incas and Mayas increased their territories ,you don't know how the Jews became slaves in Egypt ?
War is neutral :Clausewitz said that war was the continuation of politics by other means, he was wrong : politics are the continuation of war by other means .
For Biden : I have given two (liberal anti-Russian proofs ) that Biden was talking about the danger of a Russian nuclear attack in Ukraine during an electoral meeting .
Re: news from Russo-Ukraine Front
The Ukrainian government said that (mostly in the captured territories ) between 7000 and 29125 civilians had died ( NOT :murdered )
This proves that the Ukrainian government has no reliable figures .
UNO said : 6221 dead civilians. This proves that the (anti Russian ) UN do not believe the figures of the Ukrainian government .
How many Kurds were killed by the Iraqi government, with the consent of DC ?

It looks to me that the Russian leadership is slowly negotiating the slow as molasses war escalation machine, like in the 2nd Chechen war. Military common sense would require partial mobilization months before Feb 24th, not half a year later.

Re: news from Russo-Ukraine Front
Wishful thinking induced by a certain aversion against the Ukraine. The west is determined to give the Ukraine all the weapons it needs to keep killing Russians. Russia committed an illegal invasion and will be severely punished for it.Peter89 wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 19:47Ehhh, guys... minor battlefield victories do not and can not overshadow the large strategic picture.
