After building up the reserves during and after the Stalingrad meat grinder, it took the Soviet army only 2 months to not only cover that distance but also capture Karkov (name for Karkiv back then) and pushing on the Bug-River-line before Manstein's "genius" counter-stroke (3rd Battle of Karkov).

I really don't think Russia of 2023 is the same thing as the Soviet army of WWII that had an almost limitless supply of MOTIVATED men and huge financial backing from the West. The Russia Lend Lease program was the equivalent of $180 Billion dollars of US aid!
The only way the war ends is for Russia to stop invading and occupying their sovereign neighbor.

No, it can end another way. With the dissolution of the NATO and the failure of the US government which has spent the last 20 years invading sovereign nations.
For the killing to stop, Richwicks needs Ukraine to lose AND the dissolution of NATO - AND the downfall of the US Government?
Nah - I think the easiest way to stop the needless death and destruction is for Putin to remove his crap-ass invading army out of Ukraine.

Please, do not strawman me.
You know how I know this war is going to go on for a good, fucking long time, that's every war the United States starts. The US was in Afghanistan for 20 years, what was the mission of that? There's no mission in Ukraine either.

You flat out said: "With the dissolution of the NATO and the failure of the US government".
All the US wars since Vietnam were small bush fires compared to massive human atrocity happening in Ukraine.
Russia lost nearly double the troops in Ukraine in 12 months than the US lost in Vietnam over 10 years
I really don't think Russia can keep up this tempo. Any future big pushes to Kiev are off the table - so all they will be able to do is try to hunker down and defend themselves in the land they currently occupy in Eastern Ukraine.
What a shit show.

Anything else?
Last night, Tucker Carlson also got it, he found the real story in all the noise. Tucker broadcast his monologue about the actual significance of this story: the constant lying and the illegal, unauthorized proxy war.
Fox’s most popular commenter correctly identified that the U.S. isn’t just helping out an underdog democratic government fight off an evil invader. This is actually World War III:
“The slides show that this is not Ukraine’s war. It’s our war. The United States is a direct combatant in a war against Russia. As we speak, American soldiers are fighting Russian soldiers. So this is not a regional conflict in Eastern Europe. This is a hot war between the two primary nuclear superpowers on Earth.”
Tucker also noted that the government’s internal records say the reverse opposite of the lies the U.S. government and its credulous cronies in the corporate media have been peddling for 14 months:
“The second thing we learned from these slides is that despite direct U.S. involvement, Ukraine is in fact losing the war. Seven Ukrainians are being killed for every Russian. Ukrainian air defenses have been utterly degraded. Ukraine is losing.”
Don’t listen to Tucker, he’s a Putin-lover!
Tucker also accurately concluded that, absent Congressional approval, the proxy war is radioactive-level illegal: “But Lloyd Austin has not been arrested for committing that crime,” Tucker said. “Instead, the only man who has been taken into custody or likely ever will be, is a 21 year old Massachusetts air national guardsmen.”
Here’s Tucker’s 10-minute monologue:

... I guess our cyber-security isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. But then, neither is our war effort in Ukraine. Yes, our war effort. We own this war from tail to snout, lock, stock, and barrel, the whole shootin’ match. We started it (in 2014, when we began the preps there), we goaded the Russians into it in bad faith, and now we’re losing it. Why? Because it was a stupid venture from the get-go. Now, it’s really a matter of how psychotic our government’s reaction will be when the Russians restore order to the place.
Restore order? That’s right. I believe that’s what they’re aiming to do. Our country went into Ukraine to create disorder in that corner of the world — which has been within Russia’s sphere-of-influence for over three hundred years, you understand. ...
The mysterious “Joe Biden” regime, in its brief two-plus years of service, has proven especially adept at creating fiascos. Are they aiming for the gold ring in this Ukraine gambit, that is, nuclear war? People seriously wonder. Or is something else going on? Blogger (and ex-CIA agent) Larry Johnson says the leak was done for a specific purpose, namely to shove “Joe Biden” out of the White House. Yes, our Deep State is at it again. Why, because “Joe Biden” can no longer be trusted to even pretend he’s chief executive. (Well, maybe they shouldn’t have installed him in the first place.)
Larry also reminds us that, conveniently, an Obama-era whistleblower named Mike McCormick, who accompanied Veep Joe Biden’s delegation to Ukraine in 2014, has stepped forward to detail Biden family grifting operations there, with the help of then-aide (now National Security Advisor) Jake Sullivan. It’s like somebody is laying out a case for impeachment — or resignation. One really off-the-wall theory floating “out there” has Veep Kamala Harris being induced to take Dianne Feinstein’s senate seat (DF, 89, is very ill), and “Joe Biden” then appointing Barack Obama to be Veep — with BHO stepping back into the White House when “JB” exits (or gets exited). Note, the XXII Amendment only prohibits a person from being “elected” president more than twice. No mention of appointment. Now there’s a real Catch-22! ...
Whatever the Mike McCormick whistleblower matter means, it’s only an additional layer to the rotten onion of Biden family corruption, the millions of dollars flowing into their bank accounts from all over the planet. This treasonous business has been right in America’s face for three years. The Hunter Biden laptop alone is crammed with hard evidence of felonies that the federal justice system has willfully managed to ignore. Rep. James Comer’s House Oversight Committee sits on a raft of Biden family bank records detailing hundreds of flagged suspicious transactions. ...
In the meantime, though, we’re likely to see the collapse of the Ukraine war effort. The recriminations from that should be huge, with calls for General Milley and SecDef Austin to step down just for starters and turmoil through the Pentagon command. Imagine also the confused rage of American voters who watched over $100-billion squandered on this stupid misadventure, including the estimated $300-million that Mr. Zelensky stuffed in his pockets.
Also, in the meantime, watch the rapidly accelerating move away from the dollar in global trade settlements as many other nations lose confidence in the floundering USA. That, of course, will affect the value of the dollar. The Federal Reserve will be helpless to manage the consequences of that, and the problem will be hugely aggravated if other nations start dumping the US Treasury bonds and bills they hold. In short, at the same time the Ukraine is lost and the “Joe Biden” regime falls apart, we get a king-hell financial crisis combined with a cratering on the-ground economy. Things stop moving, including food.
Triple-also, in the meantime, the spooky question of Covid vaccine deaths rises to the previously resistant public’s attention, and they realize that they have been poisoned by their own government, now in ominous convulsion. All of this will make starkly clear that America suffers a dangerous leadership vacuum. This is not civil war. This is something else. But what?
This is not civil war. This is something else. But what?
As far as the obvious false flag 'leak', means,
The crash landing with respect to us foreign policy?
You mean when they finally admit that the deep state runs foreign policy under the direction and to the pleasure of the globalists Satanic cabal?
We haven’t heard from the kid Texiera yet. But he could be another Snowden. THe military seems to have a lot of trouble keeping classified documents secure.

Controlled leak.
21-year old Guardsmen don't get access to big picture documents. If they do, the real story is our shitty intelligence security.
No, it's when Ukraine gets crushed, NATO has to admit defeat, and this entire war was nothing but the mass murder of many many Ukrainians, and probably about 1/6th the number of Russians.
Ukraine was crushed the moment they became “independent “ of Russia and gave up their nukes. It just took a couple of decades for the chickens to come home to roost.
No doubt there are more dead Ukrainians than dead Russians in this proxy war with the US.
It would have ended in days if not for the US meddling in it. It won’t end until US stops meddling or Ukraine decides enough people have died.
And you don't understand nuclear weaponry,
Stop thinking people are stupid, they're not.
Psychopaths run our nation
A Russian warplane dropped a bomb on a Russian city of more than 400,000 people late Thursday, leaving a crater 40 meters (130 feet) across, blowing a car onto a roof and damaging buildings in what state media called an “emergency release of an air ordnance.”
A Russian Su-34 aircraft, a twin-engine fighter-bomber, released the munition over the city of Belgorod, 40 kilometers (24.8 miles) north of the border with Ukraine, according to reports from state news agencies RIA Novosti and TASS.
