I’m not worried.
The CCP-owned military genius who abandoned thousands of US personnel and $85,000,000,000 of US materiel in Afghanistan in the middle of the night is conducting the war with Russia.
Orange Putin Bad is doomed!
Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has not only been a strategic failure but a catastrophe for the Russian people. It has shown the Chinese that without nuclear weapons, Russia has no conventional ability to defend its rich Asian-Pacific territories or its Siberian treasure house. The Chinese make no secret that they covet these places.
Absolutely, it was a failure pretty quickly actually. Now it’s just a bloody expensive mess costing needless lives which will 100% end in Russian failure.
Ukraine need only fight on, with or without help makes no difference to the eventual outcome. Help will only affect the timeline or Russia eventually giving up.
By mid summer Ukraine will sign a peace treaty giving Russia 25% of Ukraine and Crimea and NATO will have lost 50% of their materiel so big loss for Russia.
Of course it is. Putin and his people thought the Ukies would fold in a month at most. They thought Zelensky would jump at Biden’s offer of a C17 to take him out of the country. A year later and they’re suck in a conventional army t army ground war. He cannot back out now so he will use whatever force necessary to grind the Ukies to dust. There is no way now the Ukies can win if there ever was. They fought a good fight but somehow this has got to stop.
None of this is good for any of them, or us. None of it.
The de-Nazification of Ukraine is also largely be achieved.
All the remains is destroying what's left of the Ukrainian army within its new territories and assuring Ukraine is no longer a military threat to Russia in the future.
It’s a strategic failure for the US, not Russia. Western economies are in dire straights while Russia continues to coast along with their gas & oil revenues. On Tuesday Putin makes his case for an investigation of who blew up Nordstream 2 before the UN. I wonder how the German people will feel once they realize we blew up a vital pipeline of theirs? My prediction is we are looking at the beginning of NATO coming apart over this.
Russia has a smashing success it seems.
NATO NATO NATO looks weak and ineffective.
Ukraine got pummeled.
That actor guy in the green T-shirt and the Brandon clan became even more grifter wealthy.
Putin got his Donbas Crimea and landbridge to Crimea.
Everything good for everyone except the late great U.S.A., now engaged in barroon warfare.
Putin has succeeded in emptying out weapons stockpiles in EU and also in US.
Russia’s Special Military Operation 1 Year On: How the US Started this War & Where it’s Heading

Failure, like when Sixth Army was within 50 yards of Red October Tractor Factory?
This isn’t Granada, and it isn’t Kuwait. It’s not Iraq. It’s not even Afghanistan.
Russia failed on day eight of their seven day war.
Russia is looking the wrong way. They need to develop and expand east of the Urals.
Peace in our time.
Well if some YouTube boob says so who are we to disagree.
Russia has destroyed any chance of Western, or probably if they have any sense, neutral, investment in Russia for the next generation.
Yes, Russia can try to “partner” with China. That’s exactly the trap China would like.

- As Russia’s special military operation reaches the one year mark, we wonder what is happening now and what will happen next;
- Equally important is what started this conflict;
- NATO has repeatedly attacked and destroyed allies of Russia around the globe throughout the 21st century;
- NATO has also constantly encroached eastward toward Russia’s borders;
- The Western media admits that the US has repeatedly overthrown nations along Russia’s borders and installed client regimes in their place;
- The Western media also admits that these nations pose a threat to Russia including Georgia which in 2008 actually attacked Russian forces;
- Ukraine from 2014 onward was a repeat of US meddling in Georgia that left Russia with only one choice, not if conflict would come but when it would be fought? At a time convenient for NATO or for Russia?
- The US is pursuing a similar campaign of encroachment, encirclement, and proxy war with China giving Beijing every reason to support Russia in its current operations in Ukraine;
U.S. President Joe Biden is in Kiev today to rescue his lunatic project of destroying Russia by proxy war. But there is no good way to do that.
A review of 'western' media shows that the inevitable outcome of the war is now recognized. The only still open alternatives are to risk a large nuclear war or to retreat from 'western' dreams of its permanent hegemony.
Few 'western' officials will admit that the war is lost, that Russia has won in Ukraine. But it has. It had won the war when it successfully trapped the Ukrainian army into a war of attrition.
A the Russian commentator Sacha Rogers writes (in Russian, machine translation):
This war has already been won (moreover, what is most offensive for various "unrecognized geniuses", without their participation and contrary to their foolish ideas of how it should be won). It was won at the moment when, instead of a highly maneuverable war, our General Staff imposed a positional “standing” with an attrition war on the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Strictly by the textbook: Attrition warfare is a military strategy consisting of belligerent attempts to win a war by wearing down the enemy to the point of collapse through continuous losses in personnel and material.

But the Ukrainian army does not have the material and manpower ready to launch some kind of counter offense that would have a chance to be win the war. It doesn't even have enough to regain some significant territory.
The third army it would need would have to be much stronger than the two armies it has already lost. And its not coming.
