Why didnt Russia invade like this and seal off Ukraine from the West? Seems like a missed opportunity on their part

Ivan is dumb.

Yes-men bureaucrats probably convinced Putin that most Ukrainians were secretly desperate to be Russian clay, which he probably believed because the idea is flattering to his own ego. I doubt he expected the level of resistance he's been met with

The terrain there is much more defensible than the rest of Ukraine. Also committing a large amount of your forces to an area where the enemy is getting resupplied carries more risks.

Because invading from that end opens Russian troops up to potentially fighting on multiple fronts (Ukraine and countries to the West) compared to coming in from their own side have having a single front.

the real target is the south, brainlet. there is nothing of worth in the west.
even russian shills have said it time after time that the cartoon nazis should move to the west of the country.

That's not Russia over there

Probably a bit of an over extension compared to just going for their objectives.

I think Belarus infrastructure wouldn’t support this offence

Belarus is allied w/ Russia.

Why’d they sell Alaska? Russians are dumb bro Russia is plagued by nostalgia and blind patriotism

>nobody wanted to live there
>It was a pain in the dick to defend
>Britain (enemy #1 at that time) posed a significant threat to it
>Selling it to America was basically a way to dick over the British

1. It would spread their forces thinner.
2. More importantly, it would possibly be interpreted as an act of aggression by NATO. To do this you would have to put troops right on Poland's border.

asstalk from US flag. No, slashing off the supply line is the move to make.

The main feature of this war is lack of full mobilization. Russian military is divided into 3 waves of offensive troops. First fast reaction troops that take 4 months to assemble fully, second is 8 month less ready units, third is conscripts which take well over a year to form into a fighting force and draw up to the frontline.

Because intelligence was so sure Ukrs will fold the politicians decided to not do a full mobilization and only do a blitz with those measly 200-300 or however many those were. Now they are boned because of that.

The truth is they didn't have the manpower to attack everywhere, so they picked their target territories plus queef and if it went really well then they'd think about more. They wanted a blitz and both misjudging the enemy and corruption in the military fucked them good. now they're stranded on a fucklong frontline/s and Any Forums is in denial.

Yeah but I doubt they would let them stage that much for months leading up

Because they underestimated Ukrainian forces. They had 3 variants:
>Take Kiev in 2 days, replace the government, go back, claim victory (max variant)
>Cut off left bank of Dnieper from north and south, destroy Ukrainian army, annex half of Ukraine, claim victory (medium variant)
>Attack south, connect with Transnistria, proclaim Novorossya (minimum variant)
Some dumbass told their military to do all three variants at once.

>That's not Russia over there
White Russia is literally Russia's playground. Always have. Lukashenka is a vassal of Putin. Putin tells him to walk, Lukashenka walks.

West Ukraine is full of actual Ukrainians, not people who could go either way, or actual Russians.
The places he's invaded are basically the Russia leaning parts plus the area around the capital.

isn't belarus literally sending tanks to help russia?

The longer this goes on for the higher the likelyhood Russia will be invaded themselves, considering we fought in Iraq for much much less, i just do not see how this isn't going to be the next world war and i don't think Putin screaming "nukes" every 5 seconds is helping his nations case.

They did some I think but it was close to a year and that's a massive border
