Ukrainian maps show it different in the east:No progress for almost 3 months.
Histo',Ukrainian maps show it different in the east:
c_v,. . . Not a difficult problem to understand, but some seem to be having a real torrid time getting their heads around it. . .
c_v,
If you ever decide to leave planet fantasy and return to planet earth - wrap your head around this latest offering from Brian. It's solid, bona fide, cast iron evidence that proves that this whole conflict is primarily the result of U.S. foreign policy and that the Biden administration knowingly (and deliberately???) triggered Putin and Russia into invading Ukraine.
c_v,Did you not understand what this document was about? Clearly Brainless Brian doesn't understand it. He decided to put his own slant on it, which is 100% incorrect. It is not a blueprint for antagonising Russia. Nothing of the sort.
c_v,
Like Brian, I understand perfectly what the document is about - the 'Research Questions' that form the basis of the report make that abundantly clear. Of the three points listed (see below), you're just focusing on the third one and conveniently ignoring the first two - especially the second one that I've highlighted in bold:
Brian's 'slant' as you put it is merely to highlight what's in the document. As he rightly says - it's a signed confession that the U.S. wants to do everything it can to undermine and provoke Russia. I realise this completely blows apart your entire narrative of 'Zelensky (U.S. puppet) and Ukraine good - Putin and Russia bad', but pretending this document is anything other than what it plainly is won't help your cause one bit. It's time to face reality and accept that U.S. foreign policy and the Biden/BoJo administrations are every bit as culpable for what's happening in Ukraine as Putin is. As those of us on my side of the argument have been saying from the get go: there are no good guys and bad guys - they're all bad guys.
- What are Russia's greatest anxieties and vulnerabilities?
- In what ways can these anxieties and vulnerabilities be exploited and extend Russia?
- What are the costs and risks associated with each option, and what are the prospects of success?
Tim.
Link to the Rand Corporation document in question that Brian of 'The New Atlas' discusses in the video in my post #2,368:
Extending Russia Competing from Advantageous Ground
... it's a signed confession that the U.S. wants to do everything it can to undermine and provoke Russia.
- What are Russia's greatest anxieties and vulnerabilities?
- In what ways can these anxieties and vulnerabilities be exploited and extend Russia?
- What are the costs and risks associated with each option, and what are the prospects of success?
Glad to see they were well prepared.
Maybe Russia will learn something.

Perfect planning prevents piss poor performance.
Yes thanks R_L, I'm well aware of the differences.
Histo',
The C_Vs are desperate to believe anything that supports what they want to happen, irrespective of what's actually happening on the battlefield. Anything that doesn't support or negates the outcome they desire is dismissed and/or ignored. I suspect that even when there's a negotiated settlement - which there will be eventually - and Russia walks away with a good chunk of what was Ukraine and I win my wager for 1oz of silver with CV, I bet you anything you like they'll still make out that it's a Ukrainian victory. It's the same mindset that says vaccines are safe and effective - even though there's mountains of solid, bona fide, cast iron evidence that proves beyond doubt that they're anything but. I really do despair at times - no wonder the world is in such a mess when so many people are unable to evaluate objectively what they see with their own eyes. Before the pandemic and now Ukraine, I didn't realise I had a special skill in this regard, one that, seemingly, so few others possess. Oh, and you, At' and n_t of course! If I knew how to market it we'd clean up big time, as there's clearly a huge and widespread need for our services!
