Description:
After more than four months of fighting, Ukraine's counteroffensive is grinding on. There have been none of the rapid mechanised advances many Ukrainian allies hoped for. Instead, there has been a hard, grinding assault intended to slowly break into, and eventually through, the main belt of Russian fixed defences.

Today I want to look at the way the counteroffensive has evolved over time, what we've learned about Russian defences and tactics, and what all of that might mean as months of mud and winter cold grow ever closer.

It doesn't matter if he's a rando, just don't use him as your only source. I have multiple sources and I cross reference each analysts conclusions and that's how I weed out the trash.

Right. I'm not saying him being a rando is some huge fucking problem or something. I'm just saying, it has disadvantages, and he's going to have to give it up someday anyway.

I'm not complaining about his anonymity or something, I'm not sure how this is being interpreted. I'm just chit-chatting about the guy.

edit: To clarify, I never said I want or I need to know who he is. I said he's gonna have to do it someday, whether he likes it or not. That's all.
