Crimea gets all the attention, but in 2014 Russian-backed separatists seized what Russia calls the Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic. Unlike Crimea, these two areas were not annexed by Russia before the 2022 invasion. Without this new war I think Ukraine stood little chance of retaking these areas. It will be something to see Ukraine retake Donetsk city.
 
 
Agreed. But Ukraine is fine and indeed expected by the West to counterattack into Russian-held Ukrainian territory. Just don't cross into Russia proper, and maybe reconsider supporting/harbouring proxy forces that want to. The Free Russia Legion would be better put to supporting Ukraine's Spring offensive into the Russian-held parts of the Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, Donetsk and Kherson oblasts.

Correct.

I expect many in the West are now wondering when the vaulted Spring offensive will start, considering that in three weeks Spring is over.
I remember Schwartzkopf telling everyone we were going to do an amphibious assualt on Kuwait...
 
And the diversion worked.
There was no diversion. Not needed. Ports were secured overthere.
Still remember flocks of choppers going to Rotterdam harbour. They went in drones over my house.
A lot of them comming from Germany. Police getting everything out of the way on the road.
There was no complaining. Nothing. And thats something here. Everybody just got out of the way. Must have been like Big Red One was on the move again.
Now that should have been enough for poor old Saddam. But no. Poor sob.
