RFU isn’t a very reliable source in the macro view. He doesn’t necessarily lie about tactical level reports but he does cherry pick and present outlier tactical reports as representative of a strategic situation which may be very different.

It sure is overly optimistic channel but some level of bias either way is to be expected from most sources on YouTube etc.
Just gotta keep in mind that there's a lot of misinformation, disinformation, propaganda and cherry picking on both sides and despite it being the best documented war in history the fog of war still lies heavy. I don't think any of us will be able to glean the actual state of the front lines for quite a while still.

I do wonder when all of this is over how the full story is going to look like as materials from the war are being released etc.

I felt it appropriate, as the level of arguments is the same as Zeo. So he might just be confronted with his own level while adults talks in the leaving room.

It's really not, it's a hurra Ukrainian propaganda channel. You will never find anything negative about the Ukranian situation on that channel.

If you want to feel good about how it's going, sure, watch it. But not if you want to know how it's really going.

All I said was the word Pokrovsk hasn't been mentioned in this thread for a month and you devolved into hysterics. I think thats more indicative of the way things are going.

Why are you so stressed out? The Russian former convicts with no equipment, no training, no food, no fuel (with AIDS) have 39 - 1 losses and are dying in crazy numbers while the Ukrainians are bravely advancing away from them with smiles on their faces and witty one-liners. Why are you so stressed out over the name of a town?

Here are a few more names:
Kupyansk
Seversk
Lyman
Konstantinovka
Guliaipole

I wonder whats happening in those places in that order. Does it all connect with the reality you've dreamed up?

Probably true. It is just very weird seeing someone gleefully cheering on the obvious bad guys like that.

Like, even if the propaganda bullshit that zeo seems to believe in was true and Russia was massively winning, that would still be a bad thing? Russia winning wouldn't make them any more right, it would just mean that the bad guys also sometimes win.

I'll bite.

Have you maybe thought the word "Pokrovsk" hasn't been mentioned in this thread for a month because nothing significant was happening there? It was supposed to fall this time last year yet it's still standing.



Here are a few more names:
Kupyansk
Seversk
Lyman
Konstantinovka
Guliaipole

Kupyansk - fighting is happening in Kupyansk but very little change over the past 2 weeks
Seversk - nothing is happening
Lyman - there are some fights near Lyman but very little overall movement over a week
Konstantinovka - nothing is happening
Guliaipole - nothing is happening

Hah good one
The day Russia surrenders and Putin falls, you'll be celebrating how peaceful and merciful Russia is to spare Ukraine few days before Ukraine falls.

Your brain is rotting, I gave you a video, go comment there. I perfectly know the level of bias of that channel, it's way less than you've ever posted. Russia is collapsing in real time, we have accurately understood how long it would take and how long the Russian economy could sustain, we also knew how costly giving up Russian oil would be but in the end, Russia doing dumb things, has really dumb results. You don't even know how many Russian has died, or simply you don't understand the meaning of life. Psychopath or Sociopath? Which one would make you more proud as a description?

I think the stance of "neither side is collapsing" has been the winner for such a long time that it makes very little sense to take any other until some actual movements happen.

The front has moved very, very little over the last year and given all the troop massing and telegraphing of the Russian summer offensive that is pretty much a win for Ukraine.

They suffered their biggest loss early November last year, when Trump won the elections, otherwise we'd be looking at a very different map.

I don't think you guys understand Zeo tho, yes, he's a troll, a pretty bad one, most of the stuff he posts is cringe and shows a tremendous lack of any intellectual honesty or maturity.

His outlook on the world, however, is very easy to explain. He has been brought up and brainwashed since birth into the fever vision of Russians and Serbians being brothers, the biggest victims of the world. One lost USSR, the other Yugoslavia, both of them thought of these as "theirs" and when the reality settled after the 90-es and it became apparent that both Serbs and Russians are not good enough to achieve any of their old glory they settled in a perpetual state of paranoia mixed on victimhood and conspiracies against them. That's why they keep voting for obvious liars who tell them they are special.

Instead of helping their people, their leaders invested in propaganda and repression, and now guys like Zeo don't have much to fall back on except trying to get a raise out of more successful and prosperous people from nations that look forwards instead of backwards.

It's actually pretty sad when you think about it.
So, are you a pessimist? - On my better days. Are you a nihilist? - Not as much as I should be.

That is generally a pretty save stance, however it is also not helpful if that is always your prediction.

The problem with predicting this kind of war is that it will likely look the same for a long time, until stuff suddenly starts happening all at once. It is a war of exhaustion, which means hiding exactly how exhausted you are is very important. And at the point where it is impossible to hide anymore, things will collapse everywhere at once quickly.

This also means that a lot of predictions eventually look bad, even if they are not. When you say something like "The russian economy will eventually collapse", people take that as something that will happen in the next 6 months. And when it doesn't, they think your predictions are shit. If this happens a lot, they eventually think "people are always predicting the collapse of the Russian economy and it never happens, so these predictions are all shit and the Russian economy will never collapse.."

But that doesn't need to be true. It can just be the same person saying multiple times that the Russian economy will eventually collapse without giving an exact timeframe, or giving a longer timeframe than people are willing to look at.

To me, I lost hope in anything really happening in Russia for a few reasons:

1. China is happy to prop them up and get them in an even more subservient posture
2. Russians haven't even started going into serious debt, their Debt-to-GDP is still under 25 %
3. Russian people have incredible tolerance for hardship and from their perspective, a lot of them took this war as a boon, a lot of employment in the Military industry, huge bonuses for families and soldiers signing up
4. No matter what, they will have the ability to export a lot of stuff and plenty of countries willing to do business with them

Yes, they are facing huge demographic issues down the line, they are under sanctions, they will have issues maintaining a lot of stuff, but none of those things look to me like it could collapse the 11th largest economy of the world any time soon.

As always, I'll preface this by saying that I hope I'm wrong and nothing would make me happier then for someone to change my mind.
So, are you a pessimist? - On my better days. Are you a nihilist? - Not as much as I should be.
