The top commander of the Ukrainian armed forces has admitted that the situation along the eastern front with Russia has “significantly worsened” amid a renewed push from Moscow’s forces.
Ukrainian commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi — who took over the top post in February following the ousting of Valerii Zaluzhnyi after calling the war a “stalemate” — wrote on Telegram on Saturday that his forces are struggling to cope with escalating assaults being waged by Russia, which he claimed have intensified amid improving weather conditions and the recent “election” in Russia which cemented Vladimir Putin’s hold on power for at least another six years.

Russia isn’t Americas enemy, or at least wasnt till foreigners like you and other grifters made that change. DC is the enemy of the American people.
The Reich collapsing will hurt the DC party, and that’s good for America.
Sure, Trump accused the Russia of cheating INF Treaty so I guess he's a "foreigner" or "grifter". Idiocy
Russia has not, unfortunately, honored the agreement, so we’re going to terminate the agreement. We’re going to pull out.

Sure, and what will be our "prestige" if Ukraine collapses because we refuse to send them weapons?
Poland already announced that maybe they should get nukes.
Because of inlfation, which is exacerbated by the profilgate spending on Ukraine.
LOL, incredibly idiotic statement blaming inflation on Ukraine funding. Last years budget was 6.5 Trillion of which only 75 Billion was on Ukraine which included sending older or out of date weapons.
I agree with Vlad0 on many Ukraine issues.
We do not agree about the strength of US Dollar (USD).
Compared to a basket of foreign currencies, the USD trade value has floated above $90 for the last ten years.
$100 is the "par" value. Above $100, the USD is stronger. Below $100, the USD is weaker.
For the last two years, USD has shown consistent strength, floating between $100 - $112.
A good portion of our government is hellbent on starting a world war and they’ve deluded themselves into believing that any scrap they start will be limited and easily managed.
Just like their ukraine adventure.
Their laundromat has been very successful for them.
You’re an idiot. That was just a cover story. The one and only reason we pulled out of the INF treaty had nothing to do with Russia. It was because that treaty restricted us from building weapons that would be useful in a war with China.
If we decide to have a war with China, it will be a missile intensive war, Wade from long standoff distances and we needed missiles that would far exceed the capability of those allowed in the INF treaty. So DOD made up some stupid cover story and that’s what Trump put out. Trump also says the vaccine is safe and effective. I love him, but he’s not infallible.
I know you’re over in Poland or something, but try to keep up.
One of the most interesting - and truthful - comments/analyses I’ve read on this mess in a long time. Well done. Thanks!
Touche!
Poland is thinking what chunk of Ukraine the pick off of the bones when they fall.
Eurocrats fighting over their Fiefdoms, it’s a thing with that lot.
“… Russia has a lot of manufacturing capability. They have the sort of manufacturing capability we used to have, until our elites sold it all off and shipped manufacturing to China and Mexico.…”
********************************************************************
Sadly, it’s very true that our “elites” have led the efforts that led to the hollowing out of much of our heavy manufacturing capabilities. They did that to make money as they were too stupid to make money in other ways. These same elites are now reveling in the mass import of millions of ultra-low-cost workers.
US and others have over exploited Russia's problems. It's natural, but that impulse needs to be reigned in finally.
“I know you’re over in Poland or something, but try to keep up.”
Is that a fact? It does make sense as most of those here hot for us to fight with Russia are foreigners, or foreigners pretending to be Americans, or democrats pretending to be conservatives.
I didn't paste anything in that post except the two links, which are obviously self-attributing. The rest is completely original prose, directly from my mind to my fingers and onto the screen.
Try this one again, eh?:
When someone says "the Russians" as I did they typically mean:
A. The Russian nation and people.The person lacking common sense and logic here isn't me.B. President Putin.
I notice what you do not do: provide any meaningful rebuttal to my extensive list of bullet points that explain what America has already lost with the war and the bad policies around it.
The weird thing is a couple other people were able to provide some meaningful rubuttal, but not you.
You are long on invective and ad-hominems and short on facts and structured thinking.
This, I'm sorry to say, is sadly typical of Zeepers. Maybe do more research before posting on these threads in the future.
Cheers!
Thanks for your great commentary, Vlad0.

Prior to the Invasion of Ukraine Natural Gas exports provided Russia’s second largest revenue stream after Oil. However as a result of the war European countries stopped buying Russian Gas and this lead to the loss of the majority of this income. Russia was unable to export this gas to countries such as India as it does not have the LNG facilities to convert the gas.
In this video I look at Russia’s loss of income, the impact of the recent SANCTIONS against the new $10 Billion LNF facility called Arctic LNG 2 and discuss the problems that Russia and the Russian Economy are now facing.
