The update by the Ministry of Defence added that the heavy losses would likely continue as Russia looked to make gains across the front lines in Ukraine.

“The average daily Russian casualties (killed and wounded) in Ukraine, throughout May and June 2024, increased to conflict highs of 1,262 and 1,163 respectively,” the MoD wrote.

Russia is the supposed superpower.

But, alas, Russia is a victim, too, don’t forget.

See, Putin’s Russia had to invade Ukraine, because obama, Biden, Blinken and the ultra dangerous, no one can resister her, Vicky Nuland made Putin do it.

So, it’s not his fault. The US neo-cons made him do it. Booo, bad, bad, bad ol’ neocons!

And Putin’s not actually invading Ukraine, doncha know. No, no, he’s liberating Ukraine!

So … Yay, Putin. What a man. What a hero. What an idiot!
(As are those who buy into his and their crazy Russian mind fu propaganda.)

"Yeah you proved it’s great for Russia to have sanctions, to devastate its people and economy, lose vast amounts of its armaments, ships, planes. Not."

Here are the facts barking dog.

World Bank country classifications by income level for 2024-2025
....
Sorry Willey, either you are misinformed or lying. This year, three countries—Bulgaria, Palau, and Russia—moved from the upper-middle-income to the high-income category:
...
Economic activity in Russia was influenced by a large increase in military related activity in 2023, while growth was also boosted by a rebound in trade (+6.8%), the financial sector (+8.7%), and construction (+6.6%). These factors led to increases in both real (3.6%) and nominal (10.9%) GDP, and Russia's Atlas GNI per capita grew by 11.2%.

"China got the greatest consumer companies and stores for Russia? I think not."

You do realize that most of our consumer electronics are made in China right? You cannot be that stupid but, if you are, good for you for living an independent life shortbus.

“Now go get me links to demonstrate all that hasn’t happened.”

You’re making all the claims, without a SINGLE LINK.

But you need to FACE THE FACTS and once your lover, Zelensky, no longer has value for the West, the Azovs will likely be activated and he’ll be ‘neutralized’, as he knows FAR TOO MUCH regarding US corruption to be allowed to ‘continue’.

Sucks, but that has always been US policy, getting rid of ‘loose ends’. Would have been SMART of Zelensky to have studied history a bit before heading on this path.

Sad, but he never had a chance.

"Unlike you I’m a conservative MAGA Trump supporting patriot."

You keep using that phrase "conservative MAGA Trump supporting patriot". I don't think it means what you think it means.

Zelensky is actively campaigning against President Trumpmand was part of the coup against him and us. Here are your real heroes Billy.

"GREAT POINT - If the war wasn’t going the way Russia wants it to go"

Great point indeed. Russia clearly wanted it to go on for years. It's the Putin's grand 6D strategy !!1

So by your “logic” if Russia is fighting all of NATO then Ukraine is fighting Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and a bit of India.

Most of the propaganda has been laughable. Drunk Russians taking Viagra so they would rape Ukrainians, using rusty weapons, while the Ghost of Kyiv wiped out the Russian Airforce. If the media stopped dabbling in bullshit this useless conflict might be over saving lives on both sides.

Glad we agree on something. OBVIOUSLY having the opportunity to WIPE OUT the Western military base was something they could not resist (idiot Neocons gave them the opportunity), and yes, it takes more than a few weeks, in fact it takes years.

Yeah, Vlad is a real genius. How about you provide more details about the wiped out western military base, so we can celebrate it here all together ?

I got a mall in Milwaukee. Anyway, you are saying that the grand 6D strategy was to make America send to Ukraine 300 forty years old stocked vehicles ?

Considering that’s all we have now, then yes.
AGAIN, perhaps we shouldn’t have spent 35 ‘celebrating’ the “Peace Dividend”. In other words, history DID NOT end, just because some Jap claimed it did.

“ And for those imports from the United States in Europe they just replaced with ones from China and other countries”

Or replaced by domestic sources to the betterment/strengthening of those supplying industries.

“If they end the war today, their economy will go into a depression once they’re no longer making military goods.”

Depends how the war ends. Seems to me that with 15 US bases in Finland, for example, Russia will being having to produce military hardware for a very long time. And that doesn’t even get into the performance of many of their weapons - there’s a BIG MARKET in the world for weapons that work, and aren’t painted with the Pedophile Rainbow - so it may be quite a while before they suffer, if ever.

“performance of many of their weapons”

It’s terribly pathetic in most cases.
