Surprisingly Weak Ukrainian Defenses Help Russian Advance

Those pictures are hilarious. Ukraine's trench looks like a kid playing in a sandbox and Russias defenses look like modern military defensive lines.

$800m, engineers started hiring three months ago which I take to mean November- or worse December- 2023. During the battle.
I can't even. Any future Ukrainian aid should be contingent on a complete audit of every previous package. Each instance of corruption should result in immediate wartime summary execution. Like a child being forced to write "I will not steal again" 100 times, an adult has to stand over Ukrainians and show them how to fight a war without selling the boots off their feet. Anything less than that and Genocide Joe is just handing money and weapons to the most competent Nazi in the supply chain. That $800m could have bought anything and it went to the world's shittiest trench system which the world's shittiest Neo-Nazi troops held with all the bravery of the Afghan National Army. Liberals got their Noble War and Johnny pawned his gun.

You say that as if the fraud wasn't part of the deal. I am not normally one for the whole 'conspiracy brain' but if what we know to be true about Democrat interactions with the Ukrainian state are just the tip of the iceberg, then one of the whole points of Ukraine is to lauder aid money to Democratic party members. Hell they even were making jokes about it in Veep back in like 2019(?).

I bet a lot of DNC connected consultants made some great trench strategy powerpoint presentations though

There may have also been a psychological element at play, the U.S. officials said. If Ukrainian troops heavily mined certain areas to thwart Russian advances, it would be a tacit acknowledgement that they were unlikely to carry out offensive operations in the same area at a future date. They’d effectively be writing off that territory to the Russian military, the officials said.
Vibes-based war strategy

If I shoot myself in the legs, you'll think "there's no way he can chase me". That's exactly what I want you thinking before I do years of physical therapy to reach the point where I can chase you at half the speed I could before. Sun Soo said that.
