New Bloomberg data showing Russia's total territorial gains since January 2024 amount to 1.05% of Ukraine.
In this time, Russia lost over 700,000 troops.
Kellogg should stick to making corn flakes. He is DS.
I have to agree. Russia is a paper tiger.
Four things obvious:
1. Putin ‘lives’ in the 1990s and sees the ‘glorious’ heartland surviving on...even if industry, commerce, banking are teetering.
2. There is plan ‘B’. Russia has to win in some fashion.
3. Most economists question the 2021 Russian census. The gov’t position was 147-million ‘existed’. If the numbers were off by 10 to 20 percent....the twice a year drafts can only make sense if you had incoming North Korean conscripts hired-up.
4. I noticed last week...some Russian gas-stations are not getting normal deliveries. You pull in...limit to what you can get. It would have a dismal effect if they can’t get back to a regular schedule.
How long has the West been saying this?
So if Russia doesn’t take Kiev, doesn’t take Odessa, doesn’t take everything east of the west bank of the Dnieper, and doesn’t get regime change in Ukraine, Russia has lost he war? Oooooooookay.
Sounds as if Kellogg was asked by Trump to troll Putin.
I don’t know who put Kellogg in place as Trump’s special advisor to Ukraine…but they are either blindly incompetent or deliberately sabotaging him.
“Russia is losing war”
Sure is taking them a long time to do so.
Russia has kost the war already. The economic destruction will take 50 years to remedy, if ever.

So Ukraine is winning? Sure Jan.
We're wining, just need some more recruits. How about drafting old women?
Where have you been? I’ve been missing my daily funnies!
Kellogg knows Putin’s goal was to subjugate Ukraine, with 80% free and Russians only able to advance at a glacial pace with huge losses, Putin has lost the war.
Never heard a general say there was war they could not win nor were involved in a war they were not winning.
How’d that Viet Cong thing turn out?
Or more recently that Taliban thing?
Some may call me anti-military, but I haven’t had respect for a SINGLE general since Matthew Ridgeway was sent to Southeast Asia by Ike on an information gathering trip.
When he came back he told Ike the truth which was we shouldn’t get more involved than we already were.
Not long after, Ike bid farewell by warning of the military industrial complex.
Beware of Ret Lt Gen Keith Kellogg, MIC.
For quite a while, the case to support Ukraine was that Putin was attempting to reassemble the old Soviet Union. But now we are told he can’t get past the border region of Ukraine.
Funny kind of losing.
A unique war: BOTH SIDES are losing. Men. Big time - it cannot go on indefinitely.
It’s a stalemate territory-wise: 1% is not winning territory.
If Russia cannot defeat the poor, weak nation of Ukraine, they’d be wiped out by multi-nation NATO. And Putin knows this - invading any NATO nation would be suicidal.
And Putin is neither stupid nor suicidal.
Remember ,the Ukraine is a Russian neighbor and is almost as big as Texas. Russia can’t even kick it’s ass. Trump is correct ,they are not like they were in the 1940’s,50’s and 60’s
Then why is Zelensky doing his best to drag Poland and NATO into the war to save his regime?
