re: Negotiations for peace in Ukraine have started

You mean peace through WW3?

The US is an embarrassment. There was a time the US would have been the nation brokering a peace negotiation, instead the illegitimate regime causes a conflict/war.

The Ukrainians are fricked

They need three to four times as much artillery as they have. Worse, they don’t have enough ammunition for the guns they do have, we just can’t manufacture it quickly enough for them. We lost that production capacity.

---

The Russians have lost the capacity too. That is why they are begging North Korea shells.

quote:

---

They’ve also taken brutal casualties over the last year, which has decimated their officer corps, especially the junior leaders. So there’s an experience issue now. You can see how they struggle to organize complicated maneuvers. And this experience issue is magnified among the enlisted who are getting very rushed and a consequence grossly inadequate training. They’re not prepared for what they’ve being asked to do.

The Russians are in a worse position. They have lost atleast twice the number of soldiers as Ukraine. Their main supply line is just a few more missile and/or dron hits from collapsing into the sea. They have to deal with an growing insurgency in Mariupol and Crimea. Oh and their best forces mutinied against them a little over a month ago and are therefore being redeployed to Africa so they don't mutiny again.

The armor losses are bad, and this will become a problem later in the year, because no one in the west is mass producing them on any scale. They can’t replace these losses.

Rheinmental is converting a soviet tractor factory in western Ukraine into a tank factory for Leopards as we speak.

The Russians can produce at least a million shells a year, the upper bound could be much higher, because they can bring idle production online, and they are now operating plants 24/7.

You should know that’s not true.

Artillery is responsible for 90% of casualties. And that has been Russia prime advantage during the whole war, and Ukraines primary point of pain. And that’s a ratio that actually cropped up in an interview with a Russian Army medic, he reported that 90% of the men he treated in the spring of 22 were wounded by mines or artillery.

When the BBC did their obituary survey in Russia in February, they came up with around 14k, KIA.

Actually casualty figures at this point? Maybe 50k or 60k. But that’s top end.

Their MSR in the south is a vulnerability, but the Ukrainians would need to push much further south to bring their weapon systems in range of it.

Those are just Ukrainian unconventional warfare units, doing their thing. Plus some SBU agents/assets.

Mariupol was one of the centers of resistance when the civil war broke out, Azov was deployed there precisely because Kiev wanted a really nasty unit there to keep the locals under lock and key. The only reason Ukraine was able to keep it was because of a deal Akhmetov made, in order to protect his assets there.

Crimea, it’s very Russian. It’s the fact it’s a historic summer destination, and children from all across Russia go there for camp, it’s that it’s very desirable place to live or retire to, all of the Russian aristocrats had summer palaces there, but it’s also the naval base. You end up with a lot of naval personnel, and their families. Many choose to stay there, or come back, when they retire. But it was also just part of Russia for a very long time, because of the Tsars victory over the Khanate.

Ukraine’s right to it is entirely derived from the way the Soviets and the Bolsheviks redrew the maps, to divide their enemies, and create internal stability in the USSR.

It’s a loss for Russia and one of the weirdest stories to emerge form the war. But it’s not shifting the balance at the front though.

This is one of things that doesn’t make sense to me. The Russians will blow that up, immediately.

And there’s no scenario where the west can collectively match Russias armored production. We’re not going to crank out 1,000 MBTs in a year. That’s impossible for us because we don’t have the factories, we don’t have the assembly lines, and we don’t have the men trained to operate them.

Zelensky asked Putin to meet in person as the invasion started. Putin said no.

Nonsense. Peace talks between delegations from Russia and Ukraine were underway at the Dolmabahce Presidential Office in Istanbul, Turkey in late March. In early April Bo Jo showed up in Kyiv & essentially sabotaged those efforts.
It's Zalensky that has admitted he/ Ukraine never intended on honoring the Minsk Agreements, and they didn't. That's a big reason as to why we're here.


But yeah, blame the U.S. for everything you don't like. Having a boogeyman is a simpleton way to make difficult things make sense.[/quote]

We blame the U.S. for things the U.S. does.
The fact that you're unaware of, or refuse to acknowledge, the nefarious & hypocritical shite we do is on you, nobody else. Don't visit your ignorance of the situation on the rest of us.
The U.S. has made Russia their/your/our boogeyman for decades while offering little to no proof of the claims.

Gonna need to see a link for this info...make sure it includes Ukrainian losses as well.

Ukraine has no economic value.

If this was true Russia would not have invaded and we would not be defending Ukraine.
