The Ukraine war is now essentially a stalemate. Yes, Ukrainian forces have had some recent success near Kharkiv, but at a high price. The brutal reality is that Russia has approximately 150M people, Ukraine has 40M. Ukraine is a border region of the Russian Federation, and very important to the Kremlin. Now that he has committed forces, Putin cannot let control of the Donbass region go, no matter the casualties. If he allowed that to happen, he would lose power. So, he will follow the old Russian tactic of throwing bodies at the conflict in a long war of attrition. After all, worked well against Napoleon, Hitler, etc.
Ukraine is not fighting this war against Russia. In reality, it is the United States with a mercenary army. America is supplying the weapons, the logistics, the tactics, and many highly-trained troops.
I have personally spoken to dozens of former U.S. special operators who have been involved in recent months in Ukraine. America is fighting this war alright, just not with uniformed soldiers.
The globalists in control of The White House want nothing less than a continuation of the conflict, so they can sell lots of weapons. The globalists desperately do not want to lose control of the Ukrainian playground, where they can launder money and run ‘bio research facilities’.
So, they are throwing the kitchen sink against Russia, and having some recent success.
However, this strategy will lead to continued escalation. The Ukrainian military leadership recently said the quiet part out loud – this could lead to the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons by Russian forces.
Putin will have nothing to lose.
Perhaps this is what the globalists want.
So, the US hired Ukraine to invade Russia?
I hope you realize that Russia's own stated war objectives, and the grounds on which it was supposedly willing to make peace, do not require the "fall" of the Ukrainian government. Putin doesn't give two craps about Ukrainian corruption or the Biden administration. He'd be happy to walk away with his territorial ambitions, a disarmed Ukraine, and leave all the corruption in place because it's not his problem.
. So if you're expecting him to be some kind of political savior here in the United states, you put your money on the wrong horse.
At this point, I think Putin is just waiting for winter for the fuel and bread lines in Europe as he watches them starve and freeze to death.
Screw Ukraine and Russia. If they both destroy each other I could care less. But giving 50 billion to Ukraine while telling our soldiers to go on food stamps is just evil.
Russia is getting their butt kicked by little Ukraine.
So of course they want to deflect and say that it was really America that kicked their butts.
Putin’s regime will not survive this war.
What will replace it?
Do we need to visit Jackson or Baltimore?
Ukraine has powerful friends that proide them weapons like the US and Europe.
Russia has made enemies out of everyone with this invasion which is a further violation of international law.
When the sanctions begin to bite Russian oil refineries and food imports that is more likely to happen in Russia than in Europe. They certainly won't be hungry, and won't freeze: Oslo has a higher daily average January temp than New York.
It is a great way to use up old equipment (ATGMs) so that Congress can add more $$ to the budget to replace the capability.
So in order to justify losses, Putin has to claim that American mercs can single-handedly kick his a$$?
Yeah. I have some friends there in theater and they are suggesting the same thing and that are present in large numbers. Even saw a vid of an alleged American with southern accent talking about being in Izium.

I understand that there are more vids out there indicating various merc nationalities.
Oh great. Now we are at war with Russia.
10% for the Big Guy I guess.
And that is true. FDR kept Moscow from collapsing prior to the USA officially entered the war.
Ukraine has long been just a tool for the US, and now, for bleeding Russia.
Linda’s and Turtle’s panties drop whenever they hears about a Ukrainian success.
Linda’s and Turtle’s panties drop whenever they hears that the war/conflict far from over.
