OMG are you really trying to say Russia didn’t have their ass handed to them? Oh geez.

If they are doing so well, why do they need to declare war and mobilize now?

Putin should read about what happened to Tsar Nicholas II.

Nicholas II had to abdicate because units on the eastern front refused his orders. He lost control of his army. This is different. Putin will get shot or poisoned...if he doesn't annihilate Ukraine.

“At least Neville Chamberlain tried to avoid the abyss.”

And got the conflagration.

You guys fail to realize the gravity of situation if it ever goes to approach this level. You’d burn to death first.

Russian army has always been trash...and their poor performance in Ukraine proves it.

But what they do very well is send in overwhelming numbers of people to get killed until the enemy gets tired of killing them/and or runs out of ammo.

Tell me what the Ukie casualties versus the Russian casualties were in the operation.

You can't.

This is different.

How so? Putin might lose control of his army. It's been one hundred years. But same $#it, basically. The Russian army is always weak so they are not a threat to the regime.

You really don’t understand war do you? Did you even ever serve in the military.

By your logic the Allies lost on D-Day when they stormed normandy. They lost way more than the Germans.

That's a possibility.

Strawman, as par.

You swallow whole the Western/EU/UK/US/NATO propaganda ridden media spewage with open abandon but can’t accept any other sources. Yeah, okie dokie.

Nothing more that a form of Leftist censorship which goes like this: ‘My sources are legit, everything else is bullsh*t.’

If we applied that idiotic logic to its fullest extent, there would be no other sources that anyone could use other than those approved by you and your cohorts which is/are basically the Western/EU/UK?US/NATO propaganda-ridden sources.

Texas is proud of you, moronic idiot.

I've forgotten more books on war than you've ever seen in your life - much less read.

That’s like saying, how many National Guard and Reservist were called up by the US military to fight a 3rd rate country like Iraq? How many were called up for the 20-year war in Afghanistan which resulted/ended in utter BS?

Of course not. It is obvious that the objective shift given the circumstances. You won’t control the whole of Ukraine with a current force, of which half are rebels.

The West is thinking the more Russians they can draw into the hornet’s nest, the better. Besides, no Americans are being harmed in this war. Beating Russia without American casualties is a win/win in Washington. The price paid by Ukraine is irrelevant.

But they are losing the areas they want to control forever. They already found out they have no chance at all of Ukraine.

“It not works this way.”

Why not? Russian media is saying that those with prior military experience will be called up. Why drag out a guy in his forties who hasn’t been in the military in 20 years, when you can call up 400,000 who have only been out a year?
