They have mobilized 300,000 troops last year. It’s news to Russia that they didn’t contest it, since they fought for and lost Pyatyhatky, just now fighting for and losing Zherebyanky.
There are intense battles in Orikhiv area, but that could go either way. If Russia loses anything “they are not even trying”?
Why should I believe those people? Who made them experts?
Watch the actual developments on the ground, don’t listen to propaganda. Russian telegram channels tell you how the war is going, don’t need a guy to pretend to know the future
Why should anybody believe people who have been studying geopolitics all their lives is the question you’re asking?
Unlike you guzzling propaganda out of a firehose, I am watching the actual developments on the ground. The developments are that Ukraine failed to reach even the first line of Russian defence after a month long offensive while suffering horrific losses. Those are the facts of the situation. The fact that you don’t understand this says volumes.
People who study things have the best idea of what’s likely to happen in the future by virtue of spending the time to understand the domain they study. Maybe if you spend the time learning about the subjects you opine on then you too will be able to make a coherent argument in the future. Consider doing that instead of trolling on internet forums.
No, even if you study all your life, it won’t let you predict the future. People study stocks all their lives and they still can’t beat a simple stock index in the long term. So stop listening to articles that make wrong predictions.
Like Mearshimer who in 2014 predicted Putin had no further territorial ambitions in Ukraine. Yet Putin annexed further regions in Ukraine, despite this “expert” studying stuff.
No position to take any territory back? How about the 300km^2 they took back already this summer?
Oh you mean the territory Russia didn’t actually contest because they haven’t mobilized yet. Amazing counterpoint you’ve got there. 🤡

While you provide a fascinating arm chair analysis of the situation, why don’t we just look at what people who actually have a clue on the subject say

Just because you study something doesn’t mean you magically know the future. Stop following “experts” and form your own opinion

Don’t engage. He is a useful idiot and very determined.
