  • Your own map shows fortifications all over the theater. Yes, there's more concentrated towards the front naturally. Are you talking about that?

  • That's exactly what I'm talking about. How is that a line to break through? It's a mesh of defensive fortifications miles deep.

  • It's not exactly a line. It's miles and miles of defensive fortifications, entrenchments, units, and supply lines in a myriad configurations. There's no breaking through it in a traditional sense. Like I said earlier, the entire doctrine of warfare is different, like how the US armed forces doctrine is based on aerial support.

  • The problem of that approach is that winter is coming soon and battles will soon ground to a halt. Which will give Russians the time to build up their defensive layers again.

    Spring offensive of 2024 will commence afterwards. And then the spring offensive of 2025, 2026, 2027...

  • Unless the Russians abandoned all of good Soviet military doctrine (which is quite possible since they're so virulently anti-communist), that is the furthest from the truth possible.

    The Soviet military doctrine has been Deep Operation since the founding of the nation, where there is no single hard battlefront, instead keeping the combat line deep and flexible. Unless there is significant evidence to the contrary, I would assume that the operational paradigm for the Russian military remains the same.

  • They're 10% positive on the West? Thank you for this valuable information comrade. We'll be sending them back to the reeducation center for ideological training purposes.

  • Hong Kong's leader handpicked judges because the UK does it as well. This sounds very corrupt, but maybe it sounds normal for the Brits.

  • In May, a court rejected Lai’s bid to halt his security trial on grounds that it was being heard by judges picked by Hong Kong’s leader. That is a departure from the common law tradition China promised to preserve for 50 years after the former British colony returned to China in 1997.

    Don't tell me that British laws are actually that corrupt. No way, right?

  • But have you considered that it's a voluntary fee that you're paying after choosing from a wide selection of electricity providers? Checkmate communists.

  • Why are anarchists so vulnerable to subversion? Communist orgs have been infiltrated no less than anarchists (probably more thoroughly tbh), but we don't get subverted as often by the feds. No, don't mention trots please.

    \ Is it because of their theoretical basis in idealism? The lack of a true vanguard party? Due to our historical antagonism?

  • Good on Chinese regulators for shutting it down. Someone has to be the adult in the room and say no to all the rampant M&A happening worldwide.

  • Of course, this operation was Russia's idea, but it blew up in their face. So America wins big by grinding through Russian equipment and army by just handing over their outdated equipment to Ukraine. Where does Russia puppeting America come into the equation? You seem very conspiracy minded.

  • I dig it. This explains how liberals can disengage from reasonable arguments by the left while pretending to have internal consistency.

    \ Also, I agree. This comment was good enough to be its own post.

  • No serious athlete will want mickey mouse medals if the real competition isn't there.

  • It's ironic how liberals yell authoritarianism every time China's brought up on fediverse. One of the few criticisms I have of China is that they're letting liberals run too free in Hong Kong, Shanghai, etc. but that's still not enough freedom for liberals who really just want to suppress other opinions so that it's outside the realm of acceptable discourse.

  • Yes, but countries like France will at least resist and denounce American attempts that infringe upon their sovereignty.

    \ Yellow-bellied Australia is unique in their submissiveness even amongst American allies.

  • Spineless Australia can't protect their own citizens from the US but they still delude themselves into thinking that they're partners with America, not a lapdog.
