Reminiscent of the US military reporting weekly “body counts” from Vietnam. If their numbers had all been real, there wouldn’t have been many VC or NVA left standing.

Our mighty Canadian warrior dispenses his wisdom exhorting his neighbors to go broke for Biden. Pound sand snow communist.

Half of the Ukraine has fled their own country and the other half is hiding from press gangs. This doesn’t feel like winning. It feels bad man.

Call me heartless?

I do not see good guys on either side.

Zel-ski is the Globalist’s chosen child, they are pure evil.

Putin? Not a good guy. He palls with some really bad guys.

So, I hate that we are involved in this mess.

O’Biden is just like Zel-ski.

May God Bless the USA again.

Pure propaganda.

Loathsome excuse for information source.

Interesting you bring up Vietnam
After the Tet offensive, all those briefings about the US military seeing victory as the light at the end of the tunnel….started losing believers. When people stop believing the ooo-ra, the war is lost on the homefront. That’s where wars of attrition are won and lost.

Ukraine soon faces explaining to its people, its own army, and to its western donors…why Bakhmut wasn’t really that important and why they threw 60,00-90,000 men there and lost at least 1/3 of them.

Amazing how no Ukrainian deaths are reported by the MSM. Must be ghosts.

they don’t have to explain ... they all understand they’re fighting for their country’s survival against invading monsters

that’s why they’re fighting so hard, and won’t ever stop

Yep. Sounds about right. Could last a little longer than that, depending on if they can find enough old men and little boys to conscript and how much longer we can continue to provide them with ammunition.

As I have said from the start, the USA and NATO are 100% committed to fighting this war down to the last Ukrainian.

If it’s the New York Times reporting it, there is a fifty percent chance some of it is true. Depends on how much the DNC shares with them to advance their mutual agenda. May as well choose actual data throwing darts at a dartboard.

the term is “bleeding” sorry fat thumbs on phone. No one is disputing that the Russians have been taking the same location for two months, and the Wagner group new recruits have been eliminated. I would call that “bleeding” and “inches” not miles. Who believes, or has information, that demonstrates that miles of ground (a breakout) has been achieved in the last few months?

You don’t believe in Oryx, yet give no other website that collects serial numbers from destroyed and captured equipment. Oryx is the ONLY site that’s giving that information that I am aware of. Yes, they post the link almost weekly here for the summary. Go through and visit the running totals yourself.

I would be happiest if: 1) The US wasn’t involved. 2) Putin would just leave Ukraine Territory 3) The US government would quit messing around with Ukraine political environment 4) That George Soros would just go away 5) The poor farmers were just left alone in Ukraine.

That doesn’t change that the conflict has degraded to resemble a war map from 1916.

Clearcase_guy - you’ve been predicting “Ukraine losing” for some time now. I would suggest not predicting — I don’t as I think the situation is way too murky to make any long term statements or predictions

“I feel like Russia has the upper hand. I suspect the sanctions will be lifted at some point, and Ukraine will fold.”

“Not sure why, but I get the feeling Ukraine is close to collapse. I smell desperation from the Globalists.”
