danfrodo Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Hey all, there's so many posts that it's easy for someone to miss something. So there's some duplication. But multiple posts duplicating complaints about multiple posts then me saying let's not worry about posts about multiple posts takes up more space than simply ignoring multiple posts and posts about posts about complaining about multiple posts. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand why this should come as a surprise to anyone. The tactic has been used to avoid and bypass muddy, cratered, crowded, or otherwise impassable roads since at least WWII. I might be mistaken, but I believe the bridge at Remagen was a railroad bridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn2002 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 13 minutes ago, danfrodo said: I hear you Aragorn. Unlikely, but I am hoping for non-linear events to change the current trajectory. And yes, it's is just a hope, not a prediction. Think of ceaucescu (sp?) of Romania, late 80s. Never thought he could fall. Then BAM he's in a courtyard being shot. These things can happen. What is more likely is that they'll run out of fuel trucks! Yet another fuel truck convoy destroyed/captured. and now there's trains w what appear to be commandeered civilian trucks. That's reeks of desperation. Perhaps, Dan, but the Russians are practically fighting in their backyard, so that must count for something. The only thing that will make the Russian masses think twice are lots of body bags and empty shops. I hope for a second Afghanistan for them, but this time even bloodier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate seeing a bunch of conscript kids being killed & wounded, but that's what it's come down to. Either russian conscript kids die or a free, independent democratic nation dies, along with lots of its citizens. Every destroyed convoy warms my heart. And if the drivers escaped in panic back to their own lines to lower morale and cause more panic, that's a pretty good outcome w/o lots of dead russian kids. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all respect, my friend, I have no pity on Russian soldiers, but on Ukrainian civilians. I'm with Kraze on this. Those escaped russians will climb in another tank or truck and continue to kill and destroy. Edited March 7, 2022 by Aragorn2002 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might I suggest that you take the time to read this thread to the end before making anymore of those posts? Then, you can go back and make the posts that you feel are pertinent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSint has claims of 30-49 destroyed on the ground. Awaiting confirmation. Multiple sources. If true, that would be a rather massive loss, and what kind of commander parks that much equipment in such a small area? I guess reports of strategy, tactics and logistics are true too. IF the above is validated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a CM legend - you loudmouths don't own this forum and you haven't earned the right to slag off at him. we aren't. We are simply asking he either catch up on the conversation then participate or at least read what is being posted while he is posting. Instead, he's reading through 80 f'n pages and posting randomly. and legend is a stretch. I start every morning anywhere from 30-80 posts behind. I read through them before I consider commenting. it is basic courtesy and allows me to participate in a conversation instead of barging in randomly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I had predicted the "end game" to have been yesterday. Obviously I wasn't exactly on the mark, but I think I'm going to wind up being pretty close to it. Far closer than those who still say this will take months to play out. It won't because it can't. I also had (hoped) that the end game would bring about a swift removal of Putin from power. I'm still holding out hope that when the Russian military overtly collapses that will happen. I have no doubts that discussions are already going on and have moved away from "if we should act" to "when and how to act". Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
