“The age for men with the highest ranks in the reserves can be called up “remains” at 70”

It appears you have a problem understanding what you read.

eegator You’re constantly trying to make it seem that Ukraine can win and drive Russia out. They can’t win, even with NATO supplies, money, and support.

Ukraine won (past tense) when they won the battle of Hostomel and of Kyiv in March 2022

The Ukrainians won phase B (Mykolaiv), C (Kharkiv) and D (Kherson) in June, September and November 2022

Now as to them pushing Putin's army completely out of the Donbas is open to non-military variables as well

At least they are talking to you. Wait till your old enough like me and the first thing they do is check for a pulse.

If you want to know what she’ll look like in 10 years, look at her mother.

I'm 71. That would be bad. For openers, I can't sleep anywhere but my custom Sertaperfect Pillow Cushioned Life Sleep king sized bed. And if I don't get a good night's sleep, I'm just not fit company for anyone.

Is that a legitimate draft deferment?

If it isn’t, it darn well should be.

So much for the “Russia is only playing” excuse.

Do they still have a trigger finger?

Can they still see (maybe blurry)?

OK!

“It appears you have a problem understanding what you read.”

No, you do. The proof: “Throughout history check out how many wartime generals were 60+.”

EEGator “Ukraine is losing”

Ukraine “won” in March 2022 against Putin’s initial plan to vassalize the state (as he went for a strike at the head)

Ukraine “won” again in June when they prevented Putin from making it landlocked (by their win at Mykolaiv)

They “won” again in September (Kharkiv) and November (Kherson).

The current section of the war is still carrying on, but Ukraine has already “won” by remaining independent of the Kremlin
