They can do because a lot of their destroyed armor is smoking.

And so is the Ukrainian army, no Air Force left, very little armor left, no ammo….they have gone to begging for planes, no fly zones, ammo, AT weapons, and foreign fighters….the tip off was when they started arming their citizens, admission there army could no longer protect them.Sorry, but the facts, from one who has been there.

Actually Ukraine is a pretty existential concern for Mother Russia. The farmland of the Ukes provides something like 80% of the grain Russia imports. Pooty would definitely like to control that production. The grain has long been available tho, without destroying everything else to get it.

Putin is destroying Ukraine.

A huge portion of the non western world believes Zelensky is destroying Ukraine. I tend to agree.

It wouldn’t matter if Z was as dirty as Hunter and Slow Joe Biden. Putin has no valid reason to invade Ukraine and try to steal the country’s land and wealth.

Ukraine is getting flattened by every standard. No calls for negotiations, just war, war war…by Zelensky and the west. The Ukrainian people are suffering for the fraud of a leader, Zelensky.

[Putin is bringing in Chechens and Syrians because he can’t afford the losses he is taking.]


His problem is that these people probably make Russian soldiers look like Green Berets in comparison. They are gonna get slaughtered and desert en masse. It’s one thing to ask Russians to risk their lives for a “de-Nazification” operation. What’s in it for Chechens and Syrians? The Russian attrition rates are over an order of magnitude higher than anything the Syrians have seen. Syrian loss rates are just over 10K a year. The Russians have lost 7,000 dead (conservative US estimate - Ukie number is 14,000) in just 3 weeks. It wouldn’t surprise me if fratricide between Russians and Syrians resulted, as Syrians decide to run for the EU border.

There is wide analysis that Putin’s invasion of peaceful Ukraine is stalled in places. That means losses for Ukraine have made a difference while Putin’s losses are not getting the job done.

Zelensky is fighting Putin off. What is wrong? You blame the victim?

The Soviets had a brigade in Cuba until @1991.

You could smell them from here

The same can be said, Ukraine is calling for foreigners also, as for losses, the Ukies have no Air Firce left, little armor, dwindling soldiers, are begging for a no fly zone, arms, ammunition, and resorted to arming citizens- last I saw, the eastern side of Ukraine is turning to a pile of rubble. Sorry folks, Vlad is winning, and the west is going berserk.

Does anyone on this site even know what is really going on over there...

There is a lot of information available due to the ability to see images and video from participants in the war. Also, Russian newspapers and their websites report on funerals.

If you take the time, use google translate, and look at local sources you can gather information on what is happening.

Vlad invaded because the Ethnic Russians in the break away eastern provinces were being shelled by the Ukies since 2016...

Here we go again, another Putin propaganda clerk. Where is your cubicle? St. Petersberg or Moscow?

That particular talking point must be on the whiteboard in every propaganda shop. It is false, and easily refuted by publicly available information.

Artillery exchanges across the Donbass line of contact typically start in Russian separatist controlled territory, and then the Ukrainians fire back. You can read the OSCE reports and see for yourself.

The lie about how many "deaths by Ukraine" were recorded by the UN is another talking point from the whiteboards in St. Petersberg.

How about posting a link to the UN report you are citing?

I have a developer who works for me, living in Ukraine

he sent this today:

black humor:

- what are you tinking about?

- dreaming about I sitting about the river and all russians flows in coffins by the river

- you can't ... there are so many good russians!

- bad russians - in bad coffins, good - in good ones

They really hate the Russians

>Fourty thousand Syrans are on the way.

How are they going to get there? Do the Russians have suitable transport ships and would Erdogan allow them transit? Or they going to fly them in? Is their logistics up to it?

You have a thing against the West. Are really big on Indonesia(?). Are you an American citizen?

Putin might very well still "win" in Ukraine but the Ukrainians have shown he will never control the country.

During the Polish war of independence, Poland lost probably ~100,000 dead while killing ~60,000 Russians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Soviet_War

That’s actually not a particularly high death toll. 100,000 dead out of 23m people was under 0.4%. During the War of Independence, the Patriot cause cost 50,000 KIA at a time when the population was 3m people. That’s 1.6% or 4x as much on a population adjusted basis. If Ukraine lost 200,000 dead while killing 100,000 Russians, that would only be comparable to Polish losses a century ago on a per capita basis. For Poland, that period of peace lasted until Russia allied with Germany to start WWII.

“Remember, in the opening minutes of Barbarossa in 1941, Sov units near the border were radioing to HQ, “We are being fired upon. What should we do?”

To which the reply apparently was, “fired on by whom?! and why aren’t you transmitting in code!” They were just transmitting in the open. I bet there were some german radio guys just laughing their asses off.
