The Russians gained a lot of Ukrainian territory early in the war, but have been steadily losing it ever since. That’s just a fact.

Perfidious Albion earns its nickname.

Before they started handing their underage girls to Asian grooming gangs, they may have been a force to reckoned with in the world.

Now, they remind me of used toilet paper.

I can imagine what a fag that this Tony Radakin comes off as.

Was the UK military right on anything? They said Russia is going to run out of ammo and rations on the third day.

As usual, the Putin fan club is really upset by this.

On September 15, the self-same tool that wrote this bilge claimed that the Russian army had been largely destroyed.

Three months ago.

The British have been a constant source of disinformation during this war. Almost everything from the UK has been Baghdad Bob-level propaganda.

Tony Radakin was once a cabin boy for the Admiral, the nasty little nipper.

Russia is currently losing $50 billion every week due to lost oil & gas sales to Europe, formerly its best customer

what happens when a country loses 1/4 -1/3 of its revenues during a war?

well let’s sit back and watch Russia get weaker ... that’s something that helps the WHOLE World

:)

Russia can not possibly win. One Superhuman Ukraine can beat ten Russian Orks. Hero Ukrainians, fighting for freedom and democracy will always win. Armed with Western super weapons, The Patriot Rockets will take down the whole Red Air Force. Drones will crash Moscow’s power grid. Russian people are on the verge of revolt. The Red Army is about to surrender to hero Velensky, the Russian Navy is only good at sinking. The war will be over by Spring—But, send more billions, no, trillions. Only a massive influx of money will win the war. I believe Americans will pay a new Ukraine Tax. To stop Hitler-Putin! $1,000 dollars for every working family to help that wonderful Mr. Zelensky.

“UK’s armed forces chief.”
[So, basically the Generalissimo of Lilliput in 2022]

United Kingdom:
The United Kingdom military is the fifth largest in Europe with 151,000 active military personnel. The armed forces consist of the Royal Navy, the British army, and the Royal Air Force.

https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-biggest-standing-armies-of-the-european-union.html

Note to above: That is ALL of the active duty UK military, including Army, Navy and Air Force.

Ukraine has already lost more men than the UK has in its entire military.

Heres a funny one...

In fact there will be, around the end of the week. The hohos who have gone into this adventure around Kharkiv will all be dead. This is an obvious Russian
trap and the only real “surprise” there has been for Russians is the sheer number of hohos who have walked into it. They have no cover where they are now and the Russian air force is just across a nearby border....

Like I said at the beginning of Putin’s invasion, he bit off more than he can chew, and will eventually lose even Crimea. And he’ll face resistance even at home, with the Chechen republic wanting out.

Russia is no longer a world-power, and will become a basket-case as a result of this war.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) arms stockpile is dwindling due to the Russia-Ukraine war, according to a U.S. ambassador.

Ambassador Julianne Smith, permanent U.S. representative to NATO, made the comments during an interview Tuesday with Dr. Kathleen McInnis, a senior fellow in the Center for Strategic and International Studies' International Security Program.

"This is a very serious challenge, both for NATO allies that are giving serious commitment, significant military assistance/lethal assistance to the Ukrainian military forces, but it is a significant challenge for the Ukrainian military forces themselves that are facing shortfalls and declining stockpiles," said Smith, who was appointed in November 2021.

###

"NATO doesn't really plan to fight wars like this, and by that I mean wars with a super intensive use of artillery systems and lots of tank and gun rounds," Frederick Kagan, a senior fellow with the American Enterprise Institute, told the publication. "We were never stocked for this kind of war to begin with."
