Reply To: Russian Tensions
The Ukrainian army at Bakhmut so far has resisted encirclement and avoided retreat but at what cost?
It is no exaggeration that it is called the ‘meat grinder’, a bloody toll that is inflicted equally upon both sides.
Only future historians will be able to decide if it has all been worth it.
I recall TS earlier reproaching me for not thinking that the expected Russian offensive was already started.
If it is, then as some commentators have stated, the Russian advance is to be measured in metres and not kilometres.
But for sure, anyone making predictions about future developments on the battlefield has had to repeatedly correct and add caveats.
It seems despite all our technology, the manipulation of information still controls what we know, or more accurately, what we don’t know.
