Disaster for Kyiv: Forces Encircled, Zelensky Begs for Ceasefire — Russia Says No
crochetando com amor ^ | Larry Johnson

Posted on 12/23/2025 9:37:41 AM PST by SaxxonWoods

Russia has issued a call for the remaining Ukrainian soldiers that have been surrounded in Pakovsk and Kian to surrender, noting that they have no chance of survival. And it doesn't seem as though the NATO alliance or Kiev is too concerned about the situation on the front lines as they seem more concerned about Zalinsk's latest photo op. not realizing the importance of some of these final Ukrainian strongholds and just how quickly Kiev's defensive lines are crumbling. So, what does all of this mean for the ongoing conflict and how could the possibility of tomahawks being introduced by the US change things?

"The Ukrainians are completely overstretched, overmatched, and even with NATO support, Russia has decided clear advantages. I did some research the other night and looked at three weapons classes. Modern battle tanks, artillery shells and drones. And I asked the simple question, how many modern battle tanks is NATO building compared to Russia? The answer is none. Russia built 60 to 80 uh last year. Now, what Poland has done is it's buying tanks from South Korea. So South Korea is reportedly going to supply 56 modern battle tanks. But that's it. But the point is of all of NATO of 32 countries with the United States included, Russia's building more main battle tanks. And then when you go out and look at refurbishing older tanks, Russia's got the lead there, too. Artillery shells. Again, Russia over NATO a 3:1 to advantage. Drones, Russia enjoys a 2:1 to 3 Russia enjoys a 2:1 to 3:1 advantage. There is not one area of weapon. I mean, if we talk about hypersonic missiles, Russia's got four variants, actually five if counting one of what the Iskander they call the poor man's hypersonic. The West doesn't have a single one. Zero.

I didn’t get the quote closed above, this is all from Larry Johnson.

Wiki
“Johnson worked at the CIA for four years as an analyst, then moved to the United States State Department’s Office of Counterterrorism. In 1993, Johnson left government work to join the private sector, “going on to build a dual career as a business consultant and a pundit on intelligence issues”.[1] He appeared on television programs such as The News Hour and Larry King Live, giving his commentary.[1]”

Frontline report: Tank production in crisis as Russia’s war economy hits the wall

Mass layoffs at Russia’s primary tank factory reveal a defense industry buckling under sanctions, with production down 33% and the facility that repairs most of Russia’s main battle tanks now unable to sustain its workforce.

There’s no good reason to be building big tanks anymore.

If you know where the target is, an artillery shell or rocket can be launched from many miles away that will come down on top of the target.

If the numbers you post are true (down 33%), Russia is still outproducing everyone else in tanks.

When are you going to wake up and smell the coffee? Russia does NOT surrender. I’m no fan of the Soviet Union, but tell us, when did Russia ever surrender? Putin may be a murdering bastard, but he is, by God, the elected protector of the Russian people. Zelinskyy is a grifting fraud, and would gladly drag the entire world into a nuclear holocaust to grift a few more bucks.

“If the numbers you post are true (down 33%), Russia is still outproducing everyone else in tanks.”

Also, Russia is losing more tanks than anyone else.


AI Overview

Russia refits old tanks after losing 3,000 in Ukraine ...
Russia maintains one of the world’s largest tank stockpiles, but its readily available, good-condition reserves are dwindling significantly due to heavy losses in Ukraine, forcing reliance on older models like T-62s, T-72s, and T-80s, plus increasing new production, particularly of the T-90M, though overall force strength remains high by drawing from vast Soviet-era storage and cannibalizing older hulls for parts.

Russia surrendered in the first world war. Left the battlefield to the Germans. You’re right, Zelensky is a corrupt fraud. But as long as the Ukrainian people want to see him play the piano with his penis, then he will still be there. Some people can be really stupid and, supposedly, be smart at the same time. But I think now, with a million of their brothers dead in a ditch, people have woken up and the penis and piano thing just won’t fly.

The workers fear being blown up by a Uke drone hitting the facility.

“how could the possibility of tomahawks being introduced by the US change things”

The US Tomahawks have more accurate guidance, but the Ukrainian-made cruise missiles are otherwise better.

Ukraine was in 2025 probably the fourth largest arms producer in the world.

I suspect Russian attacks on Ukrainian electric powerplants have cut Ukrainian arms production. Unfortunately, the EU doesn’t have a large civilian market for ammo. The EU simply can’t make up for a drop in Ukrainian ammo production.
