"Artemovsk, the encirclement operation is in full swing at this moment.
Attacks are underway in the south near the Konstantinovka-Artemovsk highway
The north is storming Berkhovka and Yagodnoe
Artemovsk directly, the city is also being stormed"

@LukeDCoffey Nope he got it right. Russia's artillery centric doctrine and attritional warfare preference combined with economic warfare and alliance building with the global south, ensured immunity from sanctions and the collapse of the EU Economically the longer the war lasted. Best play
@LukeDCoffey Russia is winning, the Ukrainians needed to bag large numbers last Fall and failed. Russian irrecoverable losses amount to ~25k, Ukrainians irrecoverable losses amount to ~367k. UkA is bleeding out and NATO is self disarming itself trying to stem the inevitable and failing.
@LukeDCoffey What battle tested force? The original force is largely gone, dead or disabled, the draftees of last year that did the Kharkov Offensive suffered heavy losses without bagging operationally large numbers of POWs and are now being pushed back. So what force?
@Pinkshuchan@LoremIpsumVerb It is in the LN. Manga as well, the original WN as well. Anime cut most of it out due to time constraints. Take your own advice. You have a poor understanding of the series tainted by the Anime and lack of vital information from SSes and the source material.
@Pinkshuchan @Jayisverycool1 @LoremIpsumVerb He can only stop the war by overthrowing Vincent. Asking nicely won't work and Subaru is the only one who can force the Vollachian Nobility to heel so they don't restart it and enslave his Army again.
@Pinkshuchan@LoremIpsumVerb Subaru did nothing wrong and after reuniting with Emilia in Arc 3 in the LN, Subaru after letting Emilia save face, then told her he did nothing wrong and maintained that all the way to Arc 6 when it was last brought up.
@Pinkshuchan@LoremIpsumVerb You clearly have little understanding of the source material like Gourmet of Gluttony who ignored the fact Subaru was on the guest list to attend the Selection and Marcos had orders to let him in, and Roswaal overrode Emilia's objections as he was Subaru's legal lord. Thus
@Pinkshuchan @Jayisverycool1 @LoremIpsumVerb His goal is to overthrow Vincent, it is why his Army is following him. Anything less is a betrayal of his Army, and his character. Subaru has changed, he is no longer the purposeless teen he once was and has regained his confidence and putting his skills to work for once.
@Jayisverycool1 @Pinkshuchan@LoremIpsumVerb He went there to overthrow a Sociopathic Darwinian Hell State and decapitate it's leadership, forcing all other forces to surrender to his Authority. It is the most effective way to win the war with the least losses and from there, begin the reforms to the nation.
@Pinkshuchan@LoremIpsumVerb Subaru the only one standing up to two fucked up countries and doing something about it and has the leadership and ability to do it. It is why Tappei has called him Revolution. That makes him a true hero unlike the Knights who failed in their duties.
@MattsGottaNo@Clearsight9 I mean, right after the recent earthquake in Turkey, they arrested dozens of the above mentioned people so they can be held to account.
@Pinkshuchan@LoremIpsumVerb Well he is a hero. The only true hero in the series. Everyone else is either genocidal maniacs, uphold an Apartheid State, a Faux Revolutionary like Emilia, or just plain monsters.
@MattsGottaNo@Clearsight9 Let's say the official story is true. Why weren't the Chief Architect and Engineers arrested and tried for falsely certification of the buildings' integrity and ability to withstand airplane strikes?
