> The last 3 times the US armed forces went into combat for a campaign without air superiority were:
The Philippines 1942 (largest surrender of US forces outside of the US Civil War)
Guadalcanal 1942-1943, (First months of the battle, US forces dont have air supremacy and have to hold on)
Battle of the Bulge, December 1944, (first few days, US has no air supremacy because of weather, Much of the 106th division surrenders, second largest surrender of US forces outside of the Civil War).
The US has fought with overwhelming air superiority in every campaign since, and yet we are supposed to believe that Ukraine is to blame for failing to breakthrough a well-defended defensive line with equipment they had just been given?

- verdverm 3y agoI heard another criticism/disagreement earlier, that the US Mil advised the UA Mil to concentrate their forces but UA decided to spread them out more, for reasons. Also that the West's slow pace of delivering arms delayed the offensive and allowed RU to build up defenses more.
