Regaining Crimea is a lost cause. On other issues, no compromise under any circumstances. Any victory for Poot hog is out of the question. Exterminate all Russian forces on the ground and make that Son of a Rat Turd beg to stop the genocide of the Ukrainian culture. Arrest him and hang his a$$ from a tree in public. It's a damn shame that a Daisy Cutter didn't land in the stadium during his rally and speech. May God forgive me but it would have been so satisfying.Accordingly to the news....
Putin has put forward proposal for peace based pretty much on what I have said. So it would be interesting to see if the Ukrainian go for it.
Obviously the idea that Ukraine should disarm is nonsense but the idea that Ukraine is not threat to Russia is an odd statement as Ukraine hasn't been a threat to Russia in the first place.
Now to Crimea. The proposed is that Ukraine accept Crimea is now Russian and live with it.
Brass tacks. Can Ukraine take back Crimea.? Let's say no. Will the Russians defend Crimea?let's say yes
So Ukraine giving up on Crimea is a case of reality as it's not getting it back anyhow and it's sacrifice what it doesn't have anyway.
In Ye olde days, this is how wars were fought. You go to war, sign a peace treaty, get some land and then go home. Franco Prussian war is a good example.
Which is another odd concept as Putin is fighting for land which could be considered medieval in its thinking.
So would Ukraine give up on Crimea or the Donbass? For peace and withdraw of Russian forces from the Ukraine of 2020…? We shall see....but I believe the answer will be yes.
Another general KIA? How many so far? When was the last war so many generals get KIA, WW2?Ukrainian defenders killed generals Andrey Mordvichev, commander of the 8th Combined Arms Army of the Russian Federation
As a former tanker, let me simply say that what we're seeing in the Ukraine is typical. It happens every time you commit tanks without proper combined arms support. Tanks need infantry and artillery. Artillery needs tanks and infantry. Infantry needs artillery and tanks. Of the three only the infantry can get by without the others for a short time but without support, you can only run an insurgency for the long term.Tanks have issues.
They work in the perfect world.
As seen in Ukraine, probably not so much in the imperfect world.
Clown on a unicycle with a bazooka can operate in the perfect world.
But what happens when it all goes horribly wrong?
Tanks are big expensive items with big heavy logistics and things go wrong.
In Ukraine, we have seen tanks get stuck in mud or run out of fuel or blown up.
If infantry can now destroy tanks easily and reliably then the tank is in trouble because you're paying a lot of money for something that's destroyed easily.
Also the other option is to husband tanks and only use them in areas that are safe to do so. Which is pointless for a tank as it's supposed to be offensive.
If you have to treat tanks like glass then you have a problem.
Road transport is very vulnerable as it has to use the available road network which allows ambush and IED. Tanks need fuel and the tankers are not armoured so can be destroyed by even RPG. So a tank with no fuel is an expensive pillbox.
Mordichev would make the 5th.Another general KIA? How many so far? When was the last war so many generals get KIA, WW2?
If you accept Executed and Assassinated as KIA, it would be Iran's Revolution of 1979.Another general KIA? How many so far? When was the last war so many generals get KIA, WW2?

Kudos to these Generals for fighting alongside their men. But if the Generals are at the front who's at the rear managing strategy?Ukrainian defenders killed generals Andrey Mordvichev, commander of the 8th Combined Arms Army of the Russian Federation
