[quote=Anonymous]Russian invaders have had a year to dig in. Every approach to their positions is heavily mined. Their artillery is locked in. There is no easy way through without air dominance. It makes sense for Ukraine to move slowly and methodically given these realities. But they've had a lot of success hitting ammo dumps and their counter-battery has been very effective in taking out Russian artillery.

There's also been significant gains around Bakhmut, which is now entirely under Ukrainian fire control. They have the high ground. It's a death zone for Russians.

But this will be a long, drawn out war. There is no easy way to clear out Russian trenches. And of course Russians always escalate. Now they're destroying Ukraine's capacity to export grain to the rest of the world. Famine is a favorite tactic for Russians. Ukraine has a lot of experience with that. Millions of Ukrainians died in the 1930s due to a famine inflicted by Moscow. Throw in blowing up dams. Churches too. Russians hit the cathedral in Odesa this week. Not to mention the church in Mariupol, where they killed hundreds of civilians who had sought shelter there.

There's a lot of Russian propaganda on this site. But make no mistake. Russia is genuinely evil. We've only spent 5 percent of the pentagon's budget supporting Ukraine - mostly by sending old. surplus equipment that was due to be retired anyway. There's a lot more we could do. ATACMS would be a good start. And more Patriot systems.    [/quote]
