“Russia’s Dangerous Decline
The Kremlin Won’t Go Down Without a Fight”
“At a White House ceremony on August 9, days after the U.S. Senate agreed in a near-unanimous vote to ratify the expansion of NATO to include Finland and Sweden, U.S. President Joe Biden highlighted how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine had backfired on Russian President Vladimir Putin. “He’s getting exactly what he did not want,” Biden announced. “He wanted the Finlandization of NATO, but he’s getting the NATOization of Finland, along with Sweden.” Indeed, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been a massive strategic blunder, leaving Russia militarily, economically, and geopolitically weaker.
Ukraine’s offensive in Kharkiv in September underscored the magnitude of Putin’s error. As Russian forces grew exhausted, losing momentum on the battlefield, Ukraine seized the initiative, dealing the Russian military a decisive blow. Ukraine’s battlefield successes revealed the extent of the rot in Putin’s army—the sagging morale, the declining manpower, the deteriorating quality of the troops. Instead of giving up, however, Putin responded to these problems by ordering a partial military mobilization, introducing tougher punishments for soldiers who desert or surrender, and moving forward with the illegal annexation of four Ukrainian regions. Putin reacted to Russia’s falling fortunes in Ukraine just as he did to its shrinking role on the world stage: dealt a losing hand, he doubled down on his risky bet. To Putin’s evident surprise, the war in Ukraine has accelerated long-standing trends pushing his country toward decline. Europe is moving to reduce its energy dependence on Russia, diminishing both the country’s leverage over the continent and the government revenues that depend heavily on energy exports. Unprecedented international sanctions and export controls are limiting Russia’s access to capital and technology, which will cause Moscow to fall even further behind in innovation. A year ago, we argued in these pages that reports of Russia’s decline were overstated and that Russia was poised to remain a persistent power—a country facing structural challenges but maintaining the intent and capabilities to threaten the United States and its allies. Putin’s disastrous invasion underscored the dangers of dismissing the threat from Russia, but it has also hastened the country’s decline. Today, Russia’s long-term outlook is decidedly dimmer.”

“Ukraine’s New U.S. Supplied Combat Boats Already Patrolling Black Sea”
“The Ukrainian Navy suffered badly in the opening days of the Russian invasion. Now they are rebuilding and transforming. New boats are being supplied by the west, including riverine and coastal combat boats from the United States.
The newly delivered ‘Defiant’ patrol boats are already operating in the Black Sea.
The 40 foot (12.2 meters) long ‘40 Defiant’ is built by Metal Shark in Franklin, Louisiana. Two Cummins QSB 6.7 diesel engines, driving twin water jets, allow it to reach speeds of up to 40 knots. The welded aluminum monohull design includes ballistic protection to increase combat survivability.
In 2017 the U.S. Navy selected the Defiant, to be known as the 40 PB, to replace existing Coastal Riverine Forces (CRF) boats. Now 6 of these have been supplied to Ukraine as part of a package following the Russian invasion.
In U.S. Navy service they can be equipped with remote operated weapons stations. In Ukrainian service they have been shown with crew operated weapons. These include two M2 .50 Cal Browning heavy machine guns, a Mk.19 automatic grenade launcher and an M240 7.56mm medium machine gun. These weapons can be rapidly switched to other pedestal mounted systems.”

“Novaya Gazeta has identified 89 mobilized Russian men who have been killed since September 21. “A total of 23 people died during training...The causes of their deaths vary: physical altercations, alcohol, drugs, suicide, and accidents.””

“Senior Russian military leaders recently had conversations to discuss when and how Moscow might use a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine, contributing to heightened concern in Washington and allied capitals, according to multiple senior American officials.”

According to my records, you’ve now documented Russia has lost 456% of it’s equipment...
Something about that seems off.
“456%”
RuZZia has lost 1417 tanks. Best guess is they have 2500-3500.
So lost roughly 50%.
Wacko.
ORYX could not count shat if the shat was right in front of their faces. Nothing more than a bunch of CIA/MI6 paid bad actors.
Here is “best guess” for Ukrainian losses, CIA/MI6 stooge...
328 airplanes and 167 helicopters, 2,393 unmanned aerial vehicles, 384 air defence missile systems, 6,213 tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles,
879 fighting vehicles equipped with multiple rocket-launching systems, 3,540 field artillery cannons and mortars, as well as 6,920 units of special military hardware
have been destroyed during the special military operation.
You will note that these war whores have not had much to say about the Pelosi scandal.
Matter of fact, this little prick speedo posted nothing in response to it.
“prick speedo”
RuZZians are dying by the thousands every month.
Celebrate. Sing and Dance.
