My wife and I were discussing Operation Market-Garden in WW II last night, and it reminded me that the German Army in France collapsed rapidly, just like the Russian Army has in the Kharkiv region.  Many thought that the rout would go all the way to Berlin in short order, but the Germans had other ideas and turned and stiffened at the Rhine. 

you are mixing up 2 different battles. 

The German army getting routed in France was the end of the Battle of Normandy.  Ending in the closing of the Falaise gap. -although  Monty couldnt close the final road gap for 2 days resulting in a shitload of Germans (without heavy equipment) getting away.  it was still a huge victory, I think something like 60k germans were captured along with most of their heavy weapons. 

Market-Garden wasnt in France. it was Holland. we had recaptured almost all of France by the start of M-G.

No, I have them right.  Part of the reason that Market-Garden failed is that the planning for it assumed that the German Army was collapsing and would not be able to defend the Son-Grave-Nijmegan-Arnhem corridor effectively.  This assumption was based on the collapse in France continuing into Holland.  It did not, and Germany was reinforcing their forces in Holland.  British planners refused to believe that reinforcement was happening, again based on the collapse in France.

that’s lovely, but if we can keep giving them missile defense assets sufficient to eventually give Ukraine clear air superiority over all of their country, the fleet of newly acquired Russian tanks should be enough.

And some Warthogs for when that event finally occurs. Looks like they are getting closer.

Sounds to me like General Dynamics Land Systems wants in on the action.

Sounds like the Army may have found a way to rid itself of the tanks it doesn't want.

I'm not saying that it's not possible that the Russian collapse will spread across all of Ukraine, but don't be surprised if and when the Russians form up and stabilize a front somewhere.  The Ukrainians still have the recipe and ingredients to cook up another breakthrough elsewhere, but it may take more patience.

We've both read A Bridge Too Far, and had just watched a YouTube video about the failure of Market-Garden.  It covered the tactical, logistical, and strategic failures well, but we discussed the strategic failures in a little more detail, as she didn't understand the reason that a usually very cautious Montgomery would propose such a risky operation.  I am a lucky, lucky man.

Russia’s military is not good at much aside from causing pain to civilians and we should expect more of this. They also shot S-300s at a town today.

Reminds me of the Death of Stalin, when they couldn't get any good doctors to save him because they killed all the good ones already

It was time to give Ukraine ATACMS yesterday. It’s utter bullshit for civilian infrastructure to be targeted. Let them hit targets in Russia.

The Russians do what they do, destroy infrastructure to make ppl lives more miserable.

They really don’t like someone having it better then them

Meduza (opposition Russian media) is reporting that Russia is delaying “to an unknown date” referenda on occupied Ukrainian territory joining Russia due to Ukrainian advances.
