What kind of vague answer is this?
@LysanderMooner I can imagine hard liners are tired of a slow crawl when they're likely capable of more.
@Based_Accelerationist @LysanderMooner Except what has been strategically effective? They haven't nominally damaged Russia significantly. The pressure to end the war for military improvement & closure is more important ghan these red light green light issues. Winning faster benrfits them to consolidate & help allies. Simple as. They are being ultra conservative and should go faster to avoid too much attritional issues.
