At first there are small cracks.

Then there is sudden collapse.

Kind of like WWI with the German Army.

I’ve heard the theory that it was the Spanish Flu that pretty much was the straw that broke the camel’s back for the German Army.

Wake up from your Biden loving DNC MSM induced idiocy.

The time is simply a matter of Russia building an army that did not exist.

January 2024 simply gave Russia 8-5 Ukrainian advantage. In July another 277,000 Russian soldiers will graduate training. By then Ukraine will only have 600k and Russian for the first time superior manpower. By January 25/26, another million on top of that.

Wake up.

we should do all that we can to help ukraine!

first, we allow ukranian women to come to the usa.

for balance, then, we enlist leftist american women from SF and LA to go fight on the Eastern front.

no volunteers? there is always the draft to help. equal rights! equal responsibilities!

And yet, they’re STILL able to hold off “mighty” Russia. Remarkable!

They are, in no way "holding the Russians off"

Ukraine has 500K dead, the Russians attack at will along the front, they have total air superiority, Ukraine is running low on ammunition.

Hitler and Napoleon "held the Russians off" until one day, they appeared in Berlin and Paris.

Do you work in the State Dept or Pentagon as an "analyst?" Providing expert-opinion to the FJB Administration?

The Confederacy hung on after Gettysburg for nearly 2 years, but they were bled dry. Same scenario, maple sucker.

beclowning himself is a good way to put it. The only thing sadder than watching Ukraine hollow itself out is looking to the North and watching clowns like him ignore the tyranny they allow in their country

The Confederacy didn't get supplies from England or France, Ukraine got help from NATO but it may dry up now.

In Ukraine, they can’t draft you until you’re 27.

Yep, so they Bugger 'em until then.

How long before they need foreign boots on the ground?

Probably not until March, 2022.

Russia temporarily "controls" * 14% of Ukraine, and 7% of that is Crimea, which Russia already had before it invaded in Feb. 2022

Maybe true.

In your little-bitty mind!

The Ukraine is out of men. It’s not about supplying equipment.

An Iskander hitting that building would do a lot more damage than that ridiculous apartment fire you got there.

No. We have a ton of Zeepers here who can volunteer. All consider themselves military geniuses. I’m sure the Ukes would welcome such dedicated expertise!

Ah but Zelensky has directed these missions like Bakhmut Krnky and now Avdeevka to hold at all cost and die in place. Reinforcements and resupply and evacuation of the wounded be damned.

Like Hitler ordered at Stalingrad.
