Russians continue to take a beating from Ukraine.
And there is no endgame that is a positive for Russia and the world is unified against Russia.
100 tanks lost in past 9 days. That sounds like a beating.
“100 tanks lost in past 9 days. “
To say that in Ukrainian is “LotsAJaveleninskis”.
Russians need to take a big beating so it’s better that the war continues. Not the best thing to say but think of Iran/Iraq in the 80’s. Japan was doing better than Germany at that time-economically. It was because Germany was not destroyed enough in WW2 like Japan. Japan started all over.
The world needed us after WW2. That’s why the 50’s were so innocent.
Dunno why you’re focusing on a handful of people. 15,000 probably have died, including 3 of 20 generals involved.
Ukrainians have captured more equipment than they have lost.
Casualty is a broad term that is anyone taken out of the fight.
498 deaths and 1,597 wounded.
Like us, they notify next a kin of the death and their numbers are probably far more accurate than the BS circulating around where they are talking about 5,000 or more...
At least 2,870 Ukrainian troops have been killed and more than 3,500 wounded. The Ukrainians dispute this. However, the Ukrainians are not in control of their numbers, i.e. they don't even know themselves what they have lost.
Not sure how this (while on the offense) is taking a beating for the Russians.
The Russians will position themselves such that the terms of an agreement will be to their favor. It's a chess game. No one wants Ukraine destroyed, not the Ukraine, Russia or US/EU. Realize, while these casualties sound horrible, you would have seen numbers like this in the first hour or two had the Russians gone in with full force. Never was it Russia's intention to take and hold land in the West. Only in the East where you have ethnic Russians and broad support for them anyhow.
Reports of Russian requests of assistance from China stress their need for equipment and economic aid as this list outlines and world opposition resulting in global sanctions against Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
China is someone Russia has done military transactions with for “decades.”
We do the same thing with our NATO allies.
The effect of our sanctions I am sure will be felt, especially in the long term.
However, the Russians are neither stupid nor entirely unjustified in what they did, and they know our MO.
They took measures years ago to mitigate our “economic warfare” against anyone in our cross-hairs in the moment. They made sure that all their federal employees have no foreign assets, they switched over to nations that are more friendly to them (like China), they focused on domestic production where possible, used open domain products or where you have many suppliers. Belarus isn't in the fight nor sanctioned, but its a Russian proxy (in fact they staged and invaded from there) yet Belarus isn't sanctioned. Guess what they probably are planing on using as a backdoor to our sanctions? Many countries are not on board with our sanctions because of energy or food supply. The list of vocal ones is few, Brazil, Mexico... but the list of silent ones or those we pushed into sanctioning but are not really on board with us is large: Turkey, Egypt... It's easy for us to talk about sanctions but if you're a leader of a nation and 20 - 25% of your wheat comes from there, you may think twice.
Also, realize one thing. When you're talking about Russia ~ 30% of the global wheat supply, the worlds biggest fertilizer producer, 1/3 of the worlds energy production (gas and oil - Venezuela, Iran, Syria... is in their sphere of influence), you're not talking about Iraq. You can sanction Iraq in 2002 and we will feel nothing and they will feel a lot. But when we sanction Russia, we will feel it also. Maybe not to the extent Russia will, but we also will be affected ultimately. They are big enough to where it come back around.
“3 of 20 generals”
I did post links to those dead generals when it happened.
“Russians and broad support for them”
Broad support? West Ukraine and East Ukraine oppose the invasion. There is no support within Ukraine.
“nor entirely unjustified in what they did”
More crazy talk.
Except in the parts that are ethic Russians in the East and where you have seperatists that actually were fighting to break away from Ukraine. hahaha
“Russian forces do not have enough men and equipment to encircle Kyiv”
GEN (Ret) Petraeus was recently saying the same thing on a radio show, with a bit of hedging (”may” not).
The Institute for the Study of War, and H.R. McMaster have also recently cast doubt on Russia’s ability to muster enough combat power for a direct assault to seize Kiev.
All you need to do is look at the Minsk Accord and Budapest Memorandum. We promised the Russians no Eastward expansion of NATO, no missile defense, no US/NATO troops in former Soviet Republics, and here we are:
US Special Forces training troops in the Republic of Georgia; Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia NATO members and basing fighters, tanks and artillery on the Russian border; missile defense; and now Biden giving the head nod for Ukraine to join NATO: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukrainian-president-zelenskiy-holding-talks-with-biden-adviser-says-2021-12-09/ (This right here is the reason)
So you tell me- if we have the ability to base missiles in Ukraine that are 6 minutes time of flight from Moscow, if Ukraine has major rail (same gauge) and roads into Russia, if Ukraine can easily connect Westward, is huge and where you could easily hide things, has a big enough infrastructure to permanently base a large force, and extends deep along Russia's South significantly impacting Russian nuclear deterrent capabilities... are those not security concerns?
What did we do when Grenada was playing along with the Soviets?

Can you say “hypocrite?”
No major power accepts another major power meddling in their backyard. No one. Not the US, China or Russia.
***Let me take this a step further. Ukraine is the US basically telling the Russian's, “you are no longer a world power and we do not care what you think, what promises we made, and we're just going to do what we want.”***
Do you have one?
Other than talking about feelings... the poor people of Ukraine (of course we don't care about the poor people or the human rights anywhere else - especially in Saudi Arabia and China where we make money)...
This is a conflict about economics. We want Ukraine. Ukraine wouldn't dare make that move it is if the US didn't back them. Now we care so much about human rights and every rocket or bomb is a terrible human rights violation... Of course the freedom and democracy bombs we dropped on Iraq were all for a good cause that had no collateral damage. Isn't that a phrase we came up with “collateral damage?”
A lot of the fertilizer capacity was sent overseas in the 90’s.
It used to be in the US, but a lot “green” people made the US stop.
