Doesn't announcing to your opponent that you're going to launch a counteroffensive kind of spoil it? Is all this coutneroffensive stuff just vaporware?
That's what's been bothering me since the beginning of the war.

I think the strategy is to announce a bunch of bullshit and only end up doing only some of it. Lots of decisions being made in the very moment to keep your opponent guessing which of your announced plans you’re actually going to follow through with
