Two months ago:

Russia is already going on an offensive all across the front, and will likely capture Avdiivka in the near future which will be a debacle comparable to Bakhmut for Ukraine.

Damn, good call.

yogthos said multiple time that Russia was probably going to launch an offensive this winter to profit of the hardened ground and dwindling western support.

“As ground freezes” idk much about military strategy I admit, but what does this add? Is that a special circumstance in military operations?

The wehrmacht was the most powerful army in the world. During 1 season out of the year lmaooo

It's more convenient for large military vehicles.

you can wage war in the summer or the winter, but during the spring/fall, you get mud season in eastern europe. so everyone sensible digs in where they are and waits it out until the ground dries/freezes and you can go again.

It elevates the difficulty of digging defensive positions from "laborious" to "sysyphean", which means that an army put on the retreat will likely stay on the retreat.
