Remember the 20 plus mile convoy of Russian Tanks and vehicles headed to Kyiv when the war just got going? Instead of needing A-10 Warthogs to wipe out that convoy, Ukraine just had to wait until they ran out of fuel and food, which was about 2.5 days, lol. The convoy was abandoned immediately afterwards.

I can't even imagine how long it would take Russia to overrun the entire European continent if not for trillions of US dollars. 🙄

March 12, 20232 yr Question, cause Im dont want to try to read through long twitter threads and maybe still not find an answer. I keep seeing Bakhmut referred to as the meat grinder. Its been weeks now where they keep talking about this bloody battle where no side is gaining any ground. And they say Russia mostly wants it for symbolic reasons as its really not that beneficial strategically. So why is Ukraine so worried about defending it right now? Couldnt the be better served making gains elsewhere, and then just re-taking Bakhmut later on? Even if they are killing 5-7 Russians for every Ukrainian it still seems like both sides have taken a ton of losses there. And I dont understand why Ukraine thinks they should be doing that.
March 12, 20232 yr It's highly defensible and thus strategically significant for the Ukrainians. For Russia there's some tactical benefit, but it's also highly symbolic. Because it's so defensible, holding out longer there as your grind the invaders down you're giving yourself the best casualty ratio you can imagine. If the tweet I just shared is correct it's a huge win in Ukraine's column. But I suspect those numbers are inflated, but I think it not reasonable to have 4+ Russian casualties for every Ukrainian. Ukraine is gonna lose good men, the best you can do is make sure you are taking a lot more of the enemy.
