This is the hard part of Ukraine taking Crimea - link
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 30th, 2022 4:53 PM Author: painfully honest brilliant temple Have to get past this very narrow isthmus to even enter Crimea. The Germans managed to do it with a frontal attack in 1941, but they weren't facing GRAD batteries and the like. There hasn't been a single instance in this war when Ukraine captured territory with a massive frontal attack on a well-defended position. Just the opposite, in fact - the most destructive Russian videos I've seen have been when the Ukrainians tried to do so and had GRADs devastate their lines.

Date: November 30th, 2022 5:08 PM Author: painfully honest brilliant temple Agree, most likely trying to make Russia station troops there- same as with Russia's threatened invasion from Belarus.
I expect Western nations will strongly discourage them from even trying to invade Crimea out of fear of Putin using nukes. I don't think he'd even have to use them, though- with a 3 mile wide isthmus and all the modern defensive tools at Russia's disposal. |

"The conscriptions, reluctant or not, are part of a broad, societywide mobilization by Ukraine to fend off a vastly superior Russian military force."
Now women are being "mobilized": https://visitukraine.today/blog/548/military-registration-of-women-from-october-1-will-women-be-called-up-for-military-service
Pretending that there's no conscription in Ukraine is totally nuts. I know Ukrainians that fled to avoid conscription. |
|
Date: December 1st, 2022 1:18 PM Author: Appetizing Elite Theater Dopamine They are calling up reservists. You have to know this is different than a mobilization (i.e. rounding up and forcing completely untrained men and sending them to the front lines) which is what Russia is doing.
In America what we mean by draft is the latter and not simply calling up reservists.
If you are suggesting that Ukraine is drafting untrained civilians and sending them into combat, then you are just wrong. This isn't happening. |
|
Date: December 1st, 2022 2:13 PM Author: frum ticket booth Russia is also "only calling up reservists." The problem is that pretty much everyone is a "reservist" in both of these countries.

That said, it is still an unlikely outcome at the moment. |
|
Date: November 30th, 2022 5:23 PM Author: Histrionic National Multi-billionaire Ukraine seems to be keeping the Russians guessing as to what they will got first
they could pressure Crimea directly to start and make the Russians divert a ton of troops and resources (which might already be happening with trenches and such being built in Crimea)
or they could make a go for Melitopol to severely diminish the landbridge and this draw resources to there, which would again open up Crimea to more attacks
either way the ball is definitely in Ukraine’s court and these lame infrastructure attacks won’t alter that |

I only care because this conflict because Ukraine is undeniably 10000% (((Globohomo))), and an enemy of an enemy is, at least temporarily, a friend. Jews seems absolutely seething mad about what Russia is doing, so therefore good job Russia.
Thanks for asking. |

Date: December 1st, 2022 11:36 AM Author: frum ticket booth The "pro-Russian" position and the pro-Ukrainian position aren't equivalent. The former is merely "the US and West should stay out of this." No one is suggesting we should be sending troops and equipment to Russia. Meanwhile, the pro-Ukraine modern neo-libs and neo-cons support the US sending hundreds of billions to Ukraine, along with US "trainers" and "volunteers" to fight Russia.
Therefore, it is entirely legit to ask why a pro-Ukrainian isn't actually fighting. Meanwhile, asking a "pro-Russian" is dumb. It would be illegal for any of us to volunteer to fight for Russia. |

Almost like it's not really about what I say when it comes to my (((XO detractors))), because I literally cannot possibly give a "correct" answer on anything in (((their))) eyes.
Almost like (((they))) have just tried to set up a "Heads TBF loses, tails TBF also loses" situation because (((they))) viscerally hate me for reasons that have very little to do with my specific views on any given specific socio-political issue.

Date: December 1st, 2022 2:18 PM Author: painfully honest brilliant temple As I stated, Ukraine has never successfully attacked a heavily-fortified Russian position with a frontal attack. And there's no other way to get through the 3-mile wide isthmus without a frontal attack. Manstein tried like crazy to find some other way in 1941 but he eventually concluded there was no other way.
The Ukrainian successes in this war have been all about applying pressure through HIMARS and the like until Russia leaves or almost leaves a particular area by its own accord. That won't happen with Crimea. They will have to get through the isthmus, which will be one of the most heavily-mined and defended places on earth if it becomes threatened. |

If they get further south in Kherson province those positions will be in HIMARS range. And the isolation of crimea is a double-edged sword. It's also hard to supply a large presence there if the two main roads leading to it are under UKR fire control. |
