The Ukraine war makes no sense and never has, the drapes on the TV news, does not match the carpet bombing on the ground.

Gonzalo Lira should jump into hos LADA and drive along so-called "frontline" to expose this hoax. Like he did earlier in the so-called war when he shot that excellent video in Lviv to prove that Kharkiv is not being shelled. He was kidnapped and killed by the SBU for doing that though, so he probably weary of commiting another act of journalistic heroism. Which is totally undrestandeable. But I think he should take another one for the team!

At first, Bakhmut wasn’t considered strategically significant, not until the Russians captured the cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, two key strategic cities in the Luhansk Oblast. The city also became iconic and symbolic after President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Washington and gave a speech in which he mentioned the city. Zelensky himself compared it to the Battle of the Bulge, the last major offensive launched by Nazi Germany to attack the Allied forces on the Western front, which only ended in disaster and with huge casualties.
Now that Bakhmut is slipping from the control of Ukraine we are told, Never Mind.
In addition to hypocrisy, there is what I describe as “Bat Shit Crazy.” And that award goes to David Axe who writes for Forbes Magazine.
There are just two roads out of Bakhmut for Ukrainian troops. Russian forces are within rocket range of both of them.
In the coming hours or days, it’s possible one of two things will happen. The Russians advance so close to the two roads that the Ukrainians retreat in order to avoid encirclement. Or the Ukrainians counterattack and push back the Russians.
The former would resolve the long, awful fight over Bakhmut. The latter would prolong it. In any event, the ultimate outcome should be the same. Whether or not they capture the virtually lifeless ruins of Bakhmut, the Russians have expended a lot of their combat power.
Which appears to be exactly what the Ukrainians wanted. They apparently have used Bakhmut—and the Kremlin’s weird obsession with the town—to bleed Russian forces and, in so doing, set the conditions for a long-planned spring offensive.
Wow! I never realized that the Ukrainians decided to incur enormous casualties among their troops in order to lure the Russians into a clever NATO trap. Reminds me of the strategy of Monty Python’s Black Knight.

I mean another suspect thing, even if there was a huge frontline and a raging 24/7 battle engagement going on the whole time for over a year.
I still wouldn't think that Ukraine would have spent as much munitions and hardware we keep sending them. We send them 20 billion in Armaments, on Monday then Biden is signing a check for another 10 by Friday. In the meantime, there wasn't as much as a Rooster fight going on in the whole country.
