About the idea of Schwerpunkt: yes, that's correct but only if and when the enemy is not able to cover the entire front to such an extent that the attempt at breaking through and follow up gets bogged down trying to break through.
If there's one thing the russian military is trained to do, it's to counter and exploit the Schwerpunkt-principle.
Against an enemy able to employ horde or even swarming tactics, all Schwerpunkt does is lock down a significant portion of your capability to one area which can be kept in place by wave attacks while the restof the front is pushed back, creating a pocket where your Schwerpunkt-forces are located.
Kursk/Prokhorovka and Operation: Zitadelle comes to mind, since that is a very obvious exampleof Russia using the german's use of the Schwerpunkt-tactic to their own advantge. Chinese offensives in the Korean War also used manpower to lock down british and US troops.
Against Russia (or China or similar) you need to focus on killing and destroying their forces to a10:1 or higher ration (Winter War), you need to be able to reach their logistical train and industry with no regard for civilians (as with the unrestricted bombings of Germany and Japan), and you need be willing and able to accept losses.
Western (as in US-influenced) militaries currently fail at all three objectives as soon as the enemy is not arabs or africans in flat open terrain and without air or artillery support and modern comms. I'd even argue that the longer a nation has been in NATO, the worse they are at real war.
Wow what a propaganda... He keep reading CIA Pentagon scripts he receive daily by his nazi friend Stoltenbergh!
But instead about Norwegians a nice episode yesterday on Discord (best real time communication platform ever with no censorship).
I was checking a problem I had in the only game I play since Covid, a game of warships of 1st/2nd WW. One guys started a joke because many around the world couldn't connect to the online game:
" It's the CCP!"
me "Waht's CCP?"
" Chinese Communist Party"
me " Great then! After 75 yrs of western failures" 😅
Another player "I can't connect, I'm from Norway"
me " Of course, you shouldn't have bombed the Nord Stream! That's the revenge" 😂
and he replied " Sssshhhh!!!!..... it was supposed to be a secret!!" 😅
At the point a nazi Amerikan Moderator of the game screamed "Enough is enough!!"
After a minute he deleted all of our ironic messages....
I'm glad there are those ironic guys out there, we should be united, and united kick the ass out of those bloody Nazifascist Yankees and Europeans!
The "Democratic" thing to do was not to ignore your own country voters (yes, including Russian speakers in Donbass and elsewhere). Plus, who advertises the offensive publicly? Sounds more like a weapons' manufacturers' salesman. No matter what, "we need more weapons!"
Has Zelensky's 18-year old daughter been sent to the front yet for the trench warfare like everyone else's daughters? She is old enough and they have been using women for the slaughter for a while now. Maybe she will become a Chechen 'bride' like the other women and go to Grozny.

Huhum, like a well-trained [poodle], eh?
As to your gaming anecdote: lol. Well done.
Having a hodge-podge of different tanks and whatnot also makes repairs difficult if they don't all use the same exact pieces.
You'd think the germans of all people would know that, given the flustercluck of that nature they had in WW2.
It's 3+ generations of brainwashing now.
Historians say it themselves: German history was 'rebooted' in 1945 (I've got more to say about this issue, but in a different format).
The "Democratic" thing to do was not to ignore your own country voters (yes, including Russian speakers in Donbass and elsewhere). Plus, who advertises the offensive publicly? Sounds more like a weapons' manufacturers' salesman. No matter what, "we need more weapons!"
Or more money.
I'll be interesting what he says once he's no longer 'in charge'.

Good question, as in: another one of those questions that legacy media 'journalists' didn't ask.
As an aside, I've been wondering about Zelenskyy's and his wife's foreign travels: will they return?
Probably not. It's springtime and Paris and his wife must go shopping.
Another good question.
Perhaps because they are employed by the state broadcaster?
