That is just the point operations barbarossa was not planned. Germany had no winter clothing for their troops. The vehicles had no winter fuel their diesel just froze in the fuel tanks. They just pushed on blindly instead of making preparations for Winter and digging in until the spring.
Of course it was planned. You can't mobilize 3 million men in 3 army groups across a front over a 1000 miles and more with supporting artillery and aircraft. It was the biggest offensive there has ever been.
Yes, they had a deficiency in winter clothing, but that was put right later on.
Yes the winter was a hinderance, but the thaw was just as problematical when their vehicles got stuck in the mud and Russian tanks didn't

Did the west invade Syria and destroy Raqqa, single handedly as Russia has done to Mariupol?
The answer is no. That doesn't make it right because its not, but its not as bad as the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Nothing has been since WW2.
It did say US airstrikes levelled the city and not Russian ones. Don't go down that route or i will bring up the carnage the US and allied inflicted on Iraq and it's ppl

You can bring that up if you want.
A lot of it was wrong. But not as wrong as undertaking a full scale invasion of a largely peaceful country and utterly destroying numerous conurbations and deliberately targeting civilians.
As I've said before, they're either both wrong or both right. You seem to think these actions, on both sides, can be justified. I don't.

That's exactly what we did in Iraq and on a larger scale. Yes it's wrong, but nobody else tried to stop the horrors in the Donbass area. Russia had no option

No "we" didn't.
If this was about the horrors in Donbas why did Putin mention NATO more than anything else in his invasion announcement?
About the 8th time I've asked that.

There are always more than one cause to any conflict.This will send a message to NATO that Russia doesn't mess around and can't be intimidated by NATO.
I read somewhere that Russia intends to build 12 ned military bases in the west of the country as a buffer against NATO encroachment

The message that seems to be received by NATO is that except for Nukes the Russian armed forces are crap.
That hasn't answered the question though.

NATO hasn’t encroached on a single grass of Russian territory.

No, that would have been an act of war.maybe, expansion towards Russia would have been a more apt word. A bit like Russia putting missiles on Cuba in America's backyard would be a good analogy.

Only in response to the U.S. planting their own missiles in Turkey. Yet we never hear of the Russian Turkish missile crisis. Western aggression backfired and the Americans really lost their sh*t over it.
More evidence of war crimes from the Ukrainians - this time the Aidan unit in the Luhansk region. Amnesty international recognizes these as war crimes - not just RT.

Russia putting Nukes in Cuba is nothing to do with the USA anymore than the USA putting nukes in Europe is to do with Russia.

No sorry, Barbarossa was planned to the tiniest detail, the big problem was that Hitler knew he needed to win before winter set in and he didn't. Push on or dig in, Hitler lost as soon as winter came The Russians used a scorched earth strategy and retreated in the face of the Nazi's to buy themselves time. They knew if they could survive til the winter that the tide would turn, and it did.
It was a very sound strategy and it worked.
This claim though, that the Ukrainians were cowardly is obviously ridiculous, where were the defenders supposed to stand and fight, out in the open to be hammered by artillery. Only in military buildings which there aren't many of in the middle of most cities?
It's just more BS, is he goingto claim the same about Warsaw in WW2 where the defenders dug in at every building at every street? Warsaw was hammered like Mariupol.

But the act of aggression lies with the first action - that of the Americans.
For those same feckers to accuse the Russians of aggression (especially in light of the U.S. intervention (coup) in Ukraine in 2014 is the height of sarcasm or self unawareness.

There wasn't a US coup in 2014, the Ukrainian President at the time renegades on a mandate he’d been given by Parliament to negotiate with the EU and did his own thing and went ff to negotiate with the Russians.

Azov have been incorporated into the National guard. There were enough there to warrant their capture.The Russian forces that surrounded and defeated them, weren't even Russian elite troops either. Nobody except Zelensky has claimed Azov ard elite, but they are nasty evil NAZI scum, who are going to enjoy some Siberian hospitalty
