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.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

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.
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.
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.
