Imagine he thought it would take 72 hours to conquer Kiev?  Russians killed in this Putin's military adventurism already more than the 10 years in Aghanistan, and their Russia's pride black sea fleet flagship sunk.  So, how long will be in to this selfie?

if you really believe that 20,000 Russian soldiers are dead, and only about 3,500 Ukrainian soldiers are dead.

If those numbers are right, Ukraine doesn’t need any help at all

The 4,022nd Russian general killed!

People mock these releases as propaganda. These guys are getting killed. The reason is two fold. First is the structure and doctrine of the Russian army. They have these Battalion Combat Groups that push higher leaders closer to the front by their very structure; more exposure to things that go boom leads to higher casualties and deaths. Secondly, with the advent of drone warfare as being used in Ukraine, command and control nodes are much more vulnerable than in the past. Russia is fighting a war with doctrine based on experiences 15 to 20 years old.

I certainly hope the DoD is paying attention, because I guarantee you the Chinese, and every other near peer enemy that plans on taking on the US directly is paying attention.

Propaganda is harder than most people think.

Expect more of the same.

The troops in eastern Ukraine are not combat effective for maneuver warfare. They are static ATT. They’ve dug in and put mine fields in front of them to protect against UKR small unit raids. Drones and long range arty are knocking them off. Their high command will not allow them to redeploy into Russia so they’ll just be ground up where they are.

This isn’t WWII warfare. It’s WWI warfare. Welcome back to 1917.

I think a sunken flagship is easily worth 10 or 15 generals.

43 of your last 49 post were pro Russia and anti-Ukraine or hatred for Zelenskyy.

Why are you so obsessed? Are you Russian?

Tell me, what corruption has Zelenskyy done?

He was sworn in May, 20th, 2018.

He ran under the banner and was elected to end corruption.

Trump was impeached for the “Perfect call” with Zelenskyy.

Trump invited him to the Whitehouse and Zelenskyy defended Trump.

Did you hate him then too?

Trump liked him.

You angry has no logic so one might assume it’s psychotic, a mental issue.

You can't use tanks, they get blown up by javelins. You can't attack with helicopters either, they are vulnerable to stingers. So infantry is the only way to go. Just like WWI.

FALSE! Not until all the Russian invaders have been killed, taken prisoner, or expelled from the country, and as long as the brave Ukrainian defenders (and innocent civilians) are suffering casualties, Ukraine needs help.

“Russian troop deaths reaches 20,600 in 53 days...”

In an era with much better medical care, too. Even in Russia.
