The Crimea Bridge attack lured Putin into wasting almost all of his missiles on an utterly failed campaign against Ukraine electric system.

Now a handful of dudes crossing the border causes him to launch even more (most of which were shot down).

Ukraine is able to play Putin’s neuroses like a fiddle, and that is winning them this war.

Ukraine won't make it through the end of this year."

sure ya did, you send "end of THIS year", and that was last October ... Nostradamus you ain't

but you're not the only one with lousy predictive abilities -

"Well it can’t go on like this for long. So I think you are probably right if not by Thanksgiving certainly by years end. This won’t go into 23."

How many times have you and the other Zelenskyites told us Russia was out of missiles? Mark my words, even if Russia in the future false short on manufacturing their own missiles then China will fill the void.

Now try to tell us, that Russia, the one of the largest exporters of oil and natural gas, is running out of fuel.

There’s no path to victory for Ukraine. It’s the equivalent of the Confederates fighting the Union Army. The Union Army won by attrition and their sheer manufacturing base and manpower. The same similarities are happening here.

takes more than just oil to win a war

if oil was all it took, then Kuwait and Brunei would be superpowers

They’re retaliating for Ukraine’s disrespectful act of defending itself.

Low on missiles, not out. And they have a given production rate. Which means they are rationed to a given number per attack, and they can shoot them off only every month or so. And they have to do that, shoot them off in numbers once a month, in order to reduce the probability of interception.

If they wanted to deliver real damage, they should shoot hundreds per day, not just a few dozen, reducing the probability of interception even further. They do have enough launch platforms to do it. And to keep it up day after day until strategic results are achieved.

But they don’t, for the obvious reason that they haven’t got enough missiles.

The feral government cannot censor us so they send their flying butt-monkeys to post their unbelievable lies and talking points. I really hate it when they post and then reply to themselves 20 times to shove any rebuttals to the second page. If the moderators had any balls they would stop it.

Maybe he meant the Jewish year. Or the Chinese year. He didn’t specify what calendar he was talking about :)

Hasn’t the last year been one long retaliatory strike?

Very well put. The outcome was clear early. The war cheerleaders put themselves behind a corrupted senile incompetent US President. Face it, America is decaying and start to stink, very badly.

The worst part is how many Americans and world leaders have bought into it.

I am a federal b*** monkey?
Thats a new one!

In truth I am a retired engineer yakking away out of boredom. Maybe in the process I can instruct people with what I know.

I suggest you engage in argument, it really would help you feel better. It’s best to come prepared, in terms of research on military and economic matters, and a decent background in history.

Here are more than 100 news articles (in English), all less than 24 hours old, that substantiate the basic facts of the RIA Novosti article without reference to your "analysis" of Putin, and including reference to significant damage to Ukraine's electrical grid.

Read 'em and weep.
