Almost twice as many in the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940 as are under arms today...
Ukr General Staff will continue to pound Russian hq's and lines of communication (logistics) for the next few weeks, thru February, in order to set the conditions for the decisive phase of the campaign, the liberation of Crimea.

Well, if it were between the British and the Russians, I’m rooting for the British.
(And Gilbert and Sullivan)
kiryandil:Good thing there are no recessions in Europe or the United States!
Why did you lolol to dennisw post that Russias was in a recession as to mock his comment?
Yes we are in a recsssion and so is Russia.

“The ruble is rubble!!”
Countries that get hungry and cold do crazy things. And the US will be contributory to it. One of the many reasons why we should have stayed out of it to begin with as we assisted with the escalation.

adorno: Russia is no longer a world-power, and will become a basket-case as a result of this war.
You said it. Top 5 countries with aids, record abortion rate, negative birth rate-one of the lowest in the world. Best and brightest leaving or have already left to free countries, soon satellite countries who have taken crap and bullied by Russia will no longer take their crap. Read Chechyna. GDP smaller than Italy with 3 times the population. China is not real happy with Russia behind the scenes. Russia has to muster up old men and murders and rapist to fill it’s military ranks.
It's not about territory, it's about destroying the Ulrainian army.
Sanctions have shut down Russian tank and aircraft production.
Russia is conscripting hundreds of thousands of untrained conscripts.
They are pulling 50 year old T-62s out of storage.
An-2 Biplanes are getting converted into makeshift cruise missiles.
Some of the cruise missiles fired into Ukraine do not have warheads.
They have pulled nuclear warheads from older missiles to launch at Ukraine.
Forget about the headlines, hyperbole, and arguing over sound bites.
That is not how any properly functioning army works.
TravisMcGee: Ukraine has already lost more men than the UK has in its entire military.
The UK has nuclear subs and NATO. They can wipe out a invading country in seconds if it came down to it. The UK does not need a huge military. China or Russia will never attack the UK with troops. China has bigger fish to fry and Russia is done.
True.
But that has nothing to do with Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine.
Well..another post from a member of the Dirlewanger brigade.
China will invade and make Russia a satellite that it rapes for oil and minerals within our lifetime.
Putin doomed Russia to this fate with this stupid invasion.
Russia’s real enemy is not the west. It’s China.
A++++++
Sure it does. Neither is the business of the US.
Both are European issues.
You missed that part.
