I never heard anyone say Russia would collapse. But they sure are having a tough time of it.

“If you were holding out hope that the media and military analysts predicting the imminent collapse of Russia because of the failed invasion of Ukraine would get a grip on reality, think again.”

No hope there but lots of hopium.

“The Pentagon is concerned about potentially depleting its stockpiles in the coming months.”

Probably should have thought about BEFORE dumping nearly half of our conventional weapons in Ukraine.

Hopefully the Neocons are able to hold back on their military adventures around the world to give us the 4 years or so needed to replenish our stocks, before having to use what is left. And hopefully our enemies do the same.

Otherwise we’ll be left with either defeat or using our nukes.

Why were there no efforts by Ukrainian leader, Russia, USA and UN to negotiate and avert a catastrophe that destroys a country and ends up killing many innocents? Did everyone sit on the sidelines waiting for Russia to invade, and then count the corrupt money that pours in. I don’t trust any of them and the people of Ukraine paid a devastating price, and so have we Americans. Tucker may have been right on this.

So we’ve drained a good chunk of our strategic oil reserve and we’ve given away most of our tactical precision weapons. We’re ejecting non-vaxed military and promoting othersexuals.

What could go wrong.

Been wondering if that sophisticated long range artillery and the targeting is being done by US soldiers designated as “contractors” by the Biden cabal. The globalists want no end to this Slavic death fest.

WESTERN MEDIA AND MILITARY ANALYSTS STILL DAZED AND CONFUSED ABOUT THE WAR IN UKRAINE

Really? I'll bet the ones getting "Debriefed" by the Russians in DPR and LPR are really dazed and confused.

There was some sort of high level security meeting in Russia this week. They were very tight-lipped about what was discussed or agreed upon.

There is speculation that Russia is about to take the gloves off and open up a can of whoop-ass on “decision making centers”.

"At some point, the American public will awaken to this reality "

And, as with "wars" in Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam, not one U.S. general will be court-martialed for the deceptions.

And in the process of destroying tanks and planes and artillery pieces, Russia also has killed the best of Ukraine’s troops.


And in the process of destroying tanks and planes and artillery pieces, Ukraine also has killed 50% the best of Russia’s troops in the first month.

The speed of the Orc advance is at best a kilometer a day with all of their available troops massed at that point. Snails move faster.

Hit piece conflating different arguments to prove that the people of Ukraine belong under Russian rule; next will be the articles proving the same about Poland, Lithuania, Romania, Moldova, Hungry and Germany.

Russia is forcing a hidden mobilization. What does it mean for the future outcome of the war?

On June 18th I posted the following posts.

https://t.me/s/russica2/46664

NEZYGAR

The level of real irretrievable losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has crossed all critical levels so much that the office of President Zelensky is forced to spend about €3.5 million daily to disavow these shocks among the population and the European audience.

€2 million goes to Euronews and smaller European media from Germany, France, Italy and Poland, €1 million goes to LOM and TG channels from the Baltics, the near-political establishment of Ukraine and the CIS countries, the rest is distributed to premiums and bonuses for functionaries of the 95th quarter.

According to MI6 data, which were handed over to the European Commissioners and European deputies, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine amount to 176,000 killed and 41,000 seriously wounded on June 1, 22, without the possibility of returning to the theater, about 38,000 are considered missing.

According to the BND and the Polish intelligence services, which were shown at a closed briefing before the NATO summit, Ukraine’s losses in killed on the battlefield, plus the accompanying losses of civilians, exceeded 210 thousand people by 06/10/22.

According to NATO experts, as well as on the analysis of the NSA, which monitor social networks and special groups of mothers-wives-native Ukrainian soldiers, the losses range from 110 thousand to 197 thousand people, where the proportion of dead and missing is 45% to 55%.

The loss of military equipment and ammunition, as well as new types of weapons and unmanned aircraft, is 73%, and the shortage of fuel and lubricants has grown to 58% among BTGs on the front line of the line of contact.

According to Nezygar about the losses of Ukraine, everything is 100% correct, even the dates, and the most interesting thing is that Ursula von der Leyen knew about this when she came to Kiev. Zelensky told her that he would consider the figure of 400-450 thousand people to be critical, and this will happen at the current level of losses no earlier than March 2023.

The BND and the NATO Ground Forces Command believe that by August 1, the level of losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be more than 268,000, and the front line will pass through the Nikolaev and Kharkov regions, and this is without taking into account a possible strike by Belarusian forces from the north. If Lukashenka’s army is connected, the supply of theater of operations on the right side of the Dnieper will drop by 90-95%, moreover, the delivery of fuel and lubricants will become impossible for the civilian population and the harvesting campaign.

Naturally there was no interest at all in this on FR. While I was shocked at these numbers I made clear that I had been following this Telegram site and they had always been accurate. And of course the follow up Telegram post from another site confirmed and added info to it.

Furthermore since the EU and NATO were about to have their meetings they would naturally get data prior to them and I knew Ursula Von der Crazy had just returned from her visit to Zelensky so the info on their conversation seemed plausible too.

Anyhow, here are two posts from entirely different posters today that pretty much confirm what I had previously posted though their info comes direct from the General Staff of Ukraine.

ZELENSKY IS SUBHUMAN!
Slavyangrad

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦 - Zelensky was allegedly told in an analytical note that he lost 176,000 soldiers from Feb. 24 to July 11, 2022, submitted by the General Staff of Ukraine.

Eurasia & Multipolarity
From Vladimir Novikov - Leader of the Zaporozhye militia, commander of the special forces ‘Troy’ detachment;
So, according to the information received, the number of irretrievable loss of servicemen of the AFU, Border Troops, Ministry of Internal Affairs and National Guard Forces for the period from 24.02 till 11.07.2022 appears 176 000 in the calculations of the General Staff of Ukraine presented in the analytical note to President Zelensky.
It includes those killed, wounded without the possibility of further service and those missing without trace.

The report does not include losses of the territorial defence forces (why count them...)



Tallying the troops BBC journalists identify more than 3,000 Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine

Using open sources, BBC News Russian has identified 3,052 Russian soldiers and officers killed in Ukraine since Moscow began its full-scale invasion on February 24.

The Russian BBC’s tally only includes those soldiers whose full names could be confirmed based on reports from regional leaders and local media. As regional officials and media outlets do not report the names of all the dead, the actual number of Russian military losses is believed to be significantly higher.

To get an idea of how many military fatalities were not included in their statistics, the Russian BBC studied data from 11 regional cemeteries, where Russian soldiers were buried after February 24.

For example, the journalists found that 42 Russian servicemen had been buried in a cemetery near Ulyanovsk since the start of the full-scale invasion. What’s more, half of the deceased were not named publicly — not even on social media. At other cemeteries, the Russian BBC found that the names of 30–100 percent of the recently buried servicemen had not been publicly reported.

Extrapolating from these statistics, the Russian BBC surmises that its list of reported deaths contains “at least 40–60 percent fewer names” than the actual number of servicemen laid to rest in Russia since the start of the full-scale war.

The Russian Defense Ministry has only reported on troop losses twice in the three months since Moscow began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The last official toll — 1,351 soldiers killed and 3,825 wounded — was reported on March 25.

Like BBC News Russian, the independent Russian outlet Mediazona has also used open data to calculate Russian troop losses in Ukraine. As of May 20, Mediazona had found 2,622 reported fatalities. Similarly, the Ukrainian Telegram channel Goryushko, which gathers open source reports of Russian soldiers’ deaths, had recorded 3,054 fatalities at the time of this writing.

On May 23, UK Defense Intelligence reported that Russia’s military death toll in Ukraine was likely comparable to the Soviet Union’s losses during its nine-year war in Afghanistan. According to official statistics, more than 15,000 Soviet soldiers were killed or went missing during the Soviet-Afghan War. Ukraine’s estimates put Russia’s death toll even higher: at least 30,500 troops as of May 31.
