No amount of propaganda and flame trolling can cover for the bloody (some say incompetent) failure of Ukraine’s Counteroffensive.
Tens of thousands dead, more tens of thousands maimed, hundreds of tanks, hundreds of guns, and 1,000+ Armored Fighting Vehicles destroyed, 100 Billion Dollars of U.S. and European Tax Money wasted, for little to no strategic gain.
The Russians set up Kursk1943v2.0, and Ukraine’s Masters in DC forced them right into it, far more concerned with narratives they could use to win news cycles, than results on the ground.
Now that mud season is arriving, wheeled vehicles like Strykers and the French AMX-10 are almost completely useless in the attack.

Several months after Kursk came BAGRATION.
Lots of chatter, even again today that the Russians are building up for something big. If they don’t attack in late December/January, spring is going to be wild, IMHO.
Politically, they would be better off waiting until the middle of the US Primary season.
