re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Completely vapid. That’s the best way to describe your posts and you as a poster.

You are tilted about zelensky lol. I think the vast majority in this thread a pro-ukraine but really dgaf about zelensky.

You talk about zelensky A LOT

That’s because he’s Russia’s bogey man.

While true, you're giving STDv too much credit. He hates Zelensky because the poli board hates Zelensky and he's incapable of having a critical thought on his own.

?? The #UK, #China, the #US, #Turkey, #France, #Canada, #Italy, #Poland and #Israel can become security guarantors for Ukraine as a result of the negotiations. They will act as part of an international treaty. They will be able to close the skies at #Ukraine's request.

I know China has not been supportive of Russia’s invasion but would they go as far as using their own military as a threat to Russia? The rest I could maybe see

Wonder what % are the old T72s. I knew their military was still using some decades old Soviet equipment and vehicles but they seem to be even more heavily reliant on them then originally thought

I'm so tired of catching back up in this thread hoping to find something strategic or enlightening about the war only to find you dorks blabbering on about some insignificant poster or bitching about Biden. Who the frick cares?

Good point...i would be interested in how others think the war is going from their own perspective.

I dont think anyone is "winning".....of course Im not sure what "winning" looks like for Ukraine.

I dont see how Russia can achieve most of its objectives at this point.

From an expectations stand point I think it's clear that Ukraine is doing much better and Russia is doing much worse.

This guy is getting downvoted a lot even in the poli board’s stickied Russian-Ukraine thread

It’s probably Russian troops moving to Kherson via Kherson.



Based off the recent maps Russian forces have a long way to go to get back to Mykolaiv.

I’m not sure what winning looks like for Ukraine

I don’t either. However, if you asked me a generic question in January “How fast can Russia take Kyiv?” I would have answered a few weeks (without doing any research). This was based on faint memories of Russia annexing Crimea and whatever I remembered from that plus a perception that the Russian military is exceptionally strong.

So, relative to that, and referencing what I would have thought prior to this war (a.k.a my “priors”) I have Ukraine with an edge and much closer to a “win” here, even if they lose territory in the end.
