What do you call it when the third most powerful military force on the planet utilizes a blitzkrieg style military doctrine with the objective of swiftly advancing to the capital city of Kyiv, masquerading as liberators to free the people from a tyrannical fascist government? However, instead of successfully reaching Kyiv, all their armor divisions run out of fuel due to the lack of logistical support in close proximity. The situation became so dire for the tank crews that they were forced to abandon their tanks. Adding insult to injury, local civilians began towing the abandoned tanks to their homes, refueling them, and claiming ownership.Cannonpointer » 04 Sep 2023, 7:45 pm » wrote: ↑ You are a mediocre checkers player and Vlad is playing multi-level chess.

Your brain isn't big enough, Skeet.
It begs the question: what would you call such a tenth level chess board move? Mediocre?! Honestly I don't even think that qualifies to be called mediocre.

The initial offensive surge failed, and perhaps Putin should have opted to retreat his forces back to Russia, regroup, and plan for another attempt. His ego and pride, however, led the Russian military from a massive offensive to a prolonged war of attrition, and now they find themselves back in a defensive position.
