Russia always meddles in elections. Their goal for 100 years has been to cause chaos and distrust NOT to pick winners and losers.
So this Twat is connecting two separate issues. Massie comes off looking like a dumbass and maybe he is. He was wrong about Trump's tariffs and the economy and the Big Beautiful Bill

If I had to guess, I’d say it’s about 8 Russians casualties fo every 5 Ukrainian casualties. Nothing near the 1/30 the Russian spammers were alleging.
Thats about my line of thinking too. The problem for Ukraine, is that Russia has many multiples the available manpower - not just from their own population, but from all the mercs they have been hiring from central asia, middle east, along with the North Koreans
Ukraine stands no chance in this conflict. They dont have the men even if they got every weapon system they could want.
They doubly so dont stand a chance with little Z at the helm. If he cared about the Ukrainian people he would have resigned a long time ago. Its time for Ukraine to stop the shooting, and give Russia what it wants. Losing 5 provinces is better than destroying your population, cities, and then losing everything at the end of all of that

Russia wants all of Ukraine. They have said so.
Now even if Russia would agree to just the 5 oblasts what guarantees would Ukraine have that 8 years later Russia would come at them again? Remember Russia wants no Ukraine in NATO, a very limited Ukraine armed forces and other limitations.
There isn’t going to be any deals any time soon.

You guys are insane if you think Russian can sustain these losses indefinitely. They are essentially a third world country with Nukes and oil run by a strongman and oligarchs. Really take away the nukes are they are not much different than Iran or Saddam’s Iraqi.
Everything they make sucks arse. fricking everything. A lot of their tanks were basically filled with plywood as some billionaire could claim he delivered 150 tanks when he really built 100 that would run. Their soldiers are surrendering at ridiculous rates because they are being used as cannon fodder and know it and being sent into battle without proper ammo, etc.
Many of you are too young to remember Vietnam and the lessons of a protracted unwinnable war without end. (Hint it eventually becomes very very unpopular with the people whether you own all the media or not )
Ukraine is Putin’s Folly.

What happens when Ramzan dies? Reportedly he is in Turkey in a hospital/hospice. Russia couldn't defeat the Chechen rebels, so it destroyed its cities.

With Azerbaijan now separated from the Russian influence and large sections of the Georgian population also bitterly opposed to the Kremlin, any weakness post-Kadyrov will be exploited by the Chechens and possibly the Dagestanis as well. Can Putin maintain a second front against well-armed Chechens? Will those 250,000 dead women and children be coming home to Vlad?

According to Bloomberg, the German government plans to submit over 60 military procurement projects to parliament for approval by the end of the year. These include the purchase of 20 Eurofighter fighter jets, approximately 5,000 Boxer armored vehicles, and at least 3,500 Patria armored vehicles. In addition, the Defense Ministry is considering the acquisition of several hundred Leopard 2 main battle tanks.
Rumors of the Bayern Einz radio network playing Horst Wessel Lied on a continuous loop are exaggerated. For now.

Footage shows the moment a Ukrainian drone struck the “Radiozavod” electronics plant in Penza, Russia. According to SBU sources, at least 11 explosions were recorded and a large fire broke out, hitting a new production building and component warehouses. The plant, part of Rostec and under international sanctions, produces command and control systems for air defense, artillery, and mobile command posts for the Russian military.

Another night, another rail center hit in Rostov - Volgograd.
If the Ukrainians start hitting the heavy track repair equipment, this could get really bad for the Ru logistics.

BREAKING: Ukraine's parliament passes bill restoring independence of anti-graft bodies
July 31, 2025 1:17 pm
The Ukrainian parliament approved a bill restoring the independence of two principal anti-corruption bodies in a closely-watched vote on July 31.
In the first livestreamed vote since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, 331 lawmakers approved the bill in two back-to-back readings. The legislation was promptly signed by Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk, but still requires a presidential signature before entering into force.
The bill aims to reverse legislation passed last week that effectively destroyed the independence of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor (SAPO), two agencies founded as part of the post-EuroMaidan anti-graft reforms.

9 killed, 107 injured in Russian attacks on Ukraine over past day
July 31, 2025 10:51 am
At least nine civilians were killed and at least 107 others were injured in Russian attacks across Ukraine over the past 24 hours, regional officials reported on July 31.
Ukraine's Air Force said Russian forces launched 309 Shahed-type attack drones and decoy drones, along with eight Iskander-K cruise missiles, in an overnight assault.
Air defenses intercepted 288 drones and three missiles, while 21 drones struck 12 locations. Five missile impacts were recorded, including one that hit a residential building in Kyiv.
In Kyiv, Russian forces killed at least six people and injured 82 more in one of the largest missile and drone attacks on the capital in recent weeks, according to city officials. The casualties included one child killed and at least 10 injured.
In Donetsk Oblast, two civilians were killed and 10 others injured, Governor Vadym Filashkin said. Russian forces shelled multiple settlements across the front-line region.
Kharkiv Oblast also came under heavy fire. One person was killed and seven were injured across seven settlements, Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported.
In Kherson Oblast, four people were injured after Russian strikes hit residential areas and social infrastructure, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said.
Two civilians — a woman born in 1950 and a man born in 1988 — were injured in Sumy Oblast, where Russian troops conducted nearly 60 attacks on 26 settlements, local authorities said.
In Zaporizhzhia Oblast, a 17-year-old boy and a 64-year-old woman were injured in four Russian strikes, likely carried out using FAB aerial bombs, Governor Ivan Fedorov said.

Last night, in addition to strike drones, 8 Iskander-K cruise missiles were used to target Kyiv residences. 5 of the missiles were not intercepted.

Shipping a bunch of Americans to fight in a Vietnamese jungle on ideological grounds is fundamentally different than Russia sending Russians to Ukraine to take it, many of whom think Ukraine should be part of Russia anyway. Even if they don't think that, Russia's propaganda machine is running full blast 24/7. I think if you could get an accurate sample of the true opinions of Russians, how popular this war is among them would shock you. And for clarity I'm not saying a majority of Russians support it, but it should be at 0% based on how much of a clusterfrick it is for Russa, and its probably actually something like 30%.

Ukraine wouldn’t have any guarantees, but that is a them issue. The current situation, war, is certain death and state destruction for them. Why not try peace
Russia wants all of Ukraine because it is winning. This is what happens when you don’t negotiate and wait until you have no leverage to try and negotiate. Little Z is a retard
Russia still publicly states it wants only 5 oblasts. If they offer that, along with a guarantee of no NATO, Russia will be forced to make the deal. China wouldn’t let them say no
A decade from now, Ukraine should have the maginot line on their eastern border. That is if their construction companies don’t embezzle all the cash like they did in the past couple years

Vietnam and Ukraine had one thing in common.
Massive corruption.
If anyone believes that Russia will get tired and quit this war they are living in fantasy land and have no touch with reality. But that is common among many in this thread.
This is not like a democracy trying to sustain a prolonged war. Plus if Putin quits he is finished. This is not like the Russians in Afghanistan. This is Ukraine.
How many losses were they willing to sustain in WWII? They lost 11 million soldiers. Germany though that the Russians were spent before Zhukov unleashed his counterattack outside of Moscow. How did that work out? Russia views this as an existential war for their security. Putin hasn't even fully mobilized yet.

Back before Boris killed the peace deal, the drafts Russia and Ukraine were sending back and forth had the Donbas and Crimea receiving special status that would be negotiated over a period of 10-15 years and not immediate annexation. Now Russia is not only asking for immediate annexation, they want territories they don't even occupy yet.
I have a hard time believing that they are on the brink of any kind of collapse with demands being MUCH more hardline than they were in 2022.

No doubt he would have a lot of resistance fighters, 'terrorism', etc in addition to the reconstruction Kyiv and other cities would require in any situation where Russia were able to take them. Unless the Ukrainian army were to just collapse and Russia walks in to Kyiv or something, which seems highly unlikely.
