The Ukrainians are better trained, theyre just having problems with the fact that the Russians are using unique technology like "mines" and "planes".

Russians are employing this dastardly new technology called "mines" which no army on earth has encountered before, least of all those of the NATO members like France, Germany and the UK.

Meanwhile, I'm just here thinking "Wait, people think it's not happening quickly?"
I mean, I haven't looked at any maps in a hot minute, but each time I check, it seems Ukraine controls more territory? People get that it's a real war right? "Quick" is relative.
Each time I look more Ukrainians are dead and they're still at the perimeter of the first of several defensive lines out in place specifically to slowly wear out the Ukrainian army and it's NATO supply.
I've had fun times looking at the maps of one Lib commentator move steadily backwards over the last week. On Thursday it was two thirds of the way to Tokmak, On Friday the Ukranians had taken Verbove and were marching through Ichankove. Today they've declared total victory over the town they declared taken 6 days ago.
Haha that's incredible. Do you think they realize, or is it just pure
?
People have been brainwormed by the rapid pace of the Iraq war et al where the US took out the air defence the night before landing and steamrolled everything but the republican guard, which they just dumped several kilotonnes of conventional explosive on instead. Once you have S300/400s that prevent deep air penetration things slow down fast.
Right now it's about a wash, as Ukriane keeps giving up territory in the North and gaining territory in the South, all of it incredibly small.
