A fair fight only: no cheating

The Wagner PMC continues to grind the Ukrainian army in Bakhmut. Zelensky sends more and more units into this meat grinder, into the destructive funnel that sucks in the best units of the AFU and mercenaries. Why has Zelensky been so stubborn on Bakhmut? Why since December 20, when I challenged him comically from the artillery guns of the Wagner PMC, has Zelenski fallen for it like a boy and stuck to Bakhmut? And our intimate dialogue with him has been going on for four months now. We are both enjoying ourselves, but the orgasm never came.

What is the secret of the Bakhmut meat grinder?
Bakhmut's strategic role is not that great. Bakhmut is followed by Seversk, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Konstantinovka, Druzhkovka and Chasov Yar: settlements that are part of the so-called "Donbass ring" and form a fortified area. On the one hand, Bakhmut is part of this fortification; on the other hand, the capture of Bakhmut itself will not ensure a quick victory over Ukraine, a road to the Dnieper or even the capture of Donbass.

Ukraine's top leadership argues endlessly about the need to hold Bakhmut. They are trying to rock this town as a sacred symbol. They rock the sacredness in the morning, decide in the evening to retreat, and the next morning throw in thousands of soldiers again, and so on ad infinitum.
