The Ukraine war thread

As I see it...
- USA
- North America
- Tie. South America/Europe
- Australia
- South Pacific, including Japan, the Phillipines and South Korea.
- Everything else.
And past #3, I'll bend like Gumby.
I have an open mind.

I think a lot of people would argue that Russia's machinations have a direct and material impact on numbers 1-3.

@Aqua-Letifer You're a little bit wrong. Depending on what Russia will/won't achieve, China will adapt its strategies to what the USA will/won't do.

Starting to wonder about China. The Belt and Road looks like it needs suspenders...

I think China's plans are somewhat based on an assumption that the US is a power in decline. I think they are wrong in that. Our innate ability to right our own ship is something they lack.

Bakhmut has fallen to the Russians.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

It was by all accounts a Pyrrhic victory.

Yes, but what it does give them, is a victory, of which they have had very few of late.
It also puts the Russians into artillery range of two larger, more industrialized cities.

Prigozhin and the Kremlin can say what they want and, as the saying in Russian goes, try to make candy out of a turd.
My hunch is that Bakhmut has not fallen to the Russians. Instead the Russians in Bakhmut have been surrounded on all sides by advancing Ukrainian forces.

Here's where Ukraine is aiming the offensive. Makes perfect sense. All are longer supply lines for the Russians.
