But I believe you’re right about the Ukraine, she’s bled white of her manpower and no amount of armaments will replace that.

Based on what? Ukraine's population is 40+ million and has 6 million men of military age. There is no lack of soldiers, there is a lack of military equipment.

Yaroslava Zhuravel’s father was killed in battle against the Russians in 2020.

Yaroslava turned 18 this year and joined the army to avenge her father.

If that’s the current state of recruitment, Ukraine is even worse off than I thought. Pathetic.

Fact, 8-12 million Ukies have fled Ukraine, unlikely to ever return. The current demographics support the number of Ukies left in Ukraine to be about 28 million.

The Ukies have been drafting 18-60 year old males and on their 9th mobilization , the fact they are now having to enlist woman bodes not well for their future. Sending child bearing aged woman into Vlad’s meat grinder is disgusting.

You may think St Zelensky’s “ Defiance” is admirable, but defiance only makes for a good Hollywood movie.

Zelensky’s defiance is genocide. The current rate of Ukie losses only insures their future is bleak, very, very bleak…..it is clearer every day they have no path to Victory…..and if allowed to survive, no one left to “ re-build”.
