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.
“Ukraine is not fighting this war against Russia. In reality, it is the United States with a mercenary army.”
You’d have to blind not to see that.
What is NATO’s contribution so far?
It's outrageous US taxpayers are funding this nonsense.
As in what other than equipment, etc.?
Mercs are deemed independent contractors.
Independent contractors that dont fall under Geneva Conventions, etc if caught.
“If he allowed that to happen, he would lose power.”
If he allowed that to happen Ukraine would continue their genocide of ethnic Russians in the east, Crimea would lose water again (they had none before Russia came), and Nazis would regain power.
All the US funds poured into this war hurt the American people by driving up inflation!!!!
Enough is enough!!!!
The Democrats must have been doing some really evil stuff in Ukraine.
Russia is doing fine. Don’t let the US war propaganda fool you.

We have made so many enemies that countries are stepping up to support Russia. The EU is a tiny pocket on the coat of BRICs and countries are lining up to join BRICS, including Saudi Arabia and Iran.
We have become the bully on the playground. The victims are gathering together to dedollarize the world.
Biden is a nightmare unfolding.
The US empire is in steep decline.
Keeping Russia in a war while they provoke China with Taiwan.
Biden and his drive to keep the US empire at the top.
New World Order.
:thumbsup:
Russia is FINISHED —They are in full retreat, Thousands captured. Ukraine has won—won big. They faced down the bear and he proved to be a paddington bear not a grizzly. We were fools to have feared them. hey got nothing! Thanks Ukraine, you did the west a great service.
“The brutal reality is that Russia has approximately 150M people, Ukraine has 40M.”
The brutal reality is Russia’s population is closer to 145 million and only 71 million are slavic, fewer still are actually Russian and nearly all of them are old, average age 40+ on the population. Worse yet there was a huge slump in births between 1990 and 2008 so there prime military draft age is missing.
What will replace Putinism? Probably a breakup of what remains of the Soviet empire when nobody in Irkutsk picks up the phone call from Moscow demanding more draftees for a war in Ukrainia.
Anyone’s guess.
Maybe Medvedev. I don’t expect any revolutionary changes. Putin remains relatively popular among older Russians, I think someone from his inner circle to take the helm if he is forced to step aside.
Funnier than your limited hangout at Quantico? Is that you Epps?
But a site called "Tsarism" is low-hanging fruit even for a Marine.
