2/ When multiplied by 24, which, in case you don't know, is the number of hours in a single day, this should give us the distance in kilometers that a snail covers in a day.
That amounts to 1.2 kilometers per day.
3/ Now, having rounded the number DOWN in order to benefit your claims by taking away some of the snail's velocity, I will go ahead and multiply the amount of kilometers that a snail covers in a day, by the amount of days that are in a year.
4/ The result is 401.5, meaning that a LITERAL ARMY OF SNAILS would have seen their forces advance in a depth of 400 kilometers EACH YEAR, and have therefore marked SIGNIFICANTLY MORE progress towards winning the war than your army of mongrels.

1/ I was going to make a big thread, but I discarded it because it seemed counterproductive.
In short,
> What the west can realistically provide today will not make a difference offensively.
> Ukraine must depend on it's own domestic war industry.
2/
> Even with a more sane American government, the window of opportunity has passed, and they simply can not provide the equipment required in the necessary quantities to break the stalemate without mobilizing their economy to an extent.
1/ Long thread, covering a lot of stuff about the Russo-Ukrainian war.
For some, warfare consist of acts of personal valor; for others, it consists of small arms clashes over hills, armored thrusts, the maneuvering of units on a map, politics, territorial struggles, destruction,
2/ aviation sorties, logistics—the list continues for as many roles as there are in a society. In truth, warfare encompasses all these elements. Personally, I view warfare as a struggle to break the enemy's ability to continue the fight.
3/ However, the ultimate importance of any of these views mentioned above should be measured in accordance to their contribution to the actual victory conditions behind a war effort. Emphasizing the superiority of the strategic level over the tactical one is CRUCIAL.
1/ Following a successful Ukrainian counterattack, the Russian offensive east of Chasiv Yar stalled. On the Donetsk front, Russian forces continue to make minor progress. In the area of Avdiivka, the situation is increasingly dangerous.
2/ On the Zaporizhzhia front, the intensity of clashes remained low. The majority of activity was limited to artillery exchanges, with Russian ground forces only attempting to cross the gray zone on 3 separate occasions. No territorial concessions were made to the enemy.
4/ In the Avdiivka operational sector, Russian forces have managed to establish themselves in the central area of Semenivka, and seized the majority of Ocheretyne. In western Berdychi, Russian forces have achieved additional progress.
1/ Russian forces deployed a tank specially modified to provide electronic warfare cover for their mechanized group. In what will be remembered as one of the most dangerous missions of the war, Ukrainian soldiers stepped in and managed to recover it.
2/ Having neutralized 4 drones during the initial assault, a weak spot was identified and the vehicle ended up receiving substantial damage from a Ukrainian FPV drone. Simultaneously wire became tangled in its tracks, causing it to collide with the Russian BMP in it's vicinity.
3/ With the vehicle now immobilized, the enemy crew was forced the abandon it.
Having been identified as a high value asset by local commanders, a group of heroes from the Azov brigade was tasked with recovering it.
On the Zaporizhzhia front, the intensity of clashes remained low. Russian forces launched a single attack in the area northwest of Verbove, contesting a position that was liberated in the summer offensive.
2/ In the Avdiivka area, the enemy was allowed to advance. Berdychi has almost entirely passed under Russian control, with Ukrainian elements in many areas withdrawing behind the Durna river. This has been a maneuver that was planned by the general staff for a long time.
3/ On the Kherson-Crimea front, Russian forces carried out six unsuccessful attacks on the positions of Ukrainian marines. No territorial concessions were made to the enemy.
1/ On the Zaporizhzhia Front, positional battles continue. Enemy forces attempted to capture Ukrainian positions northwest of Verbove, but failed to achieve any progress. The situation remains unchanged.
2/ On the Kherson-Crimea front, Russian forces went on the offensive on 4 separate occasions, but failed to achieve any of their objectives. The line of contact remains unchanged.
3/ On the Donetsk Front, fighting continues in Novomykhailivka, as well as in the areas of Krasnohorivka, Nevelske and Pervomaiske. All clashes were limited to the boundaries of the initial gray zone.
