These counteroffensives are propaganda for the consumption of the gullible public and civilian leadership to justify extending the war. An enemy that had years to create a defensive line, with another line behind it, isn't going to break meaningfully. When you launch a counteroffensive, the risk if you overextend and can't sustain the offensive. This is a political war in the grand scheme of things. Launching a NATO style offensive was a signal to Russia that NATO has it in their gunfights, and that Ukraine will eventually be a NATO country.
Russia decided on a war of attrition because it does not have a large enough population to draw from, despite being the bigger country. The logistical issues have been there for a long time.
Contrary to Western misinformation, Russians do not send in wave attacks. They did that in the very early days of the war as reconnaissance, to measure the hostility of enemy territory. Those were conscripts.
To win a war of attrition, you need firepower. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to recognize that Ukrainians are under-equipped. If Ukrainians don't release actual KIA numbers, you just need to look at their equipment numbers. Not only is there no evidence of Russian wave attacks. It makes no sense to do that when you have a firepower advantage over the enemy. Ukrainian counteroffensives only benefit the war of attrition strategy that Russia is fighting. The point of attrition is to gradually decrease the strength of the enemy, before you move in. That is done by enveloping the enemy forces from three sides, under range of artillery. Destroy the supply depots of the enemy, their equipment, and infrastructure. In addition, air superiority. Ukrainian SAM batteries are actively hunted, and simply are not effective against swarms of cheap drones. This makes air superiority even more important.
Ukrainians have to measure vitality by being aggressive, because the numbers don't support their claim otherwise. That is why they won't release KIA numbers, and they feign strength by being offensive. Zelenskyy's propaganda speeches use these offensives, such as in the one in Kursk, as the visible strength of Ukraine on the battlefield. Ukrainians were more successful in 2022 when the Russian military was weak due to war rust and the decaying nature of the Russian military. The Russian military of 2024 is much better than the Russian military of 2022.
Tony Blinken is Netanyahu's lawyer. He is there to keep him out of legal & political trouble.
Israel is betting that the US will protect Israel.
You would think a democracy would outlaw misinformation and lies from politicians as to be honest to the public, but no...
That must mean Zelensky is the de facto leader of Ukraine for the next 10 years, with his presidential terms expired.
The Telegraph makes it seem Ukraine is an amazing country.
I hate this guy, and they give this guy plenty of TV time. An American politician goes on mainstream news media talking about nuclear weapons on people. This is the type of personalities that trustworthy mainstream news media puts on air all the time. I think the American population are undergoing a wide psychological operation.
That is a real possibility.
