Ukraine is probably posting recruiting videos on reddit to call up some real fighters to the cause.



If you ask a Reddit user who is winning the war.

Russian deaths 340,000

Ukrainian death 0

So yes, I could visualize Russia invading Ukraine, killing as many as they could,



I mean it wouldn't be the first time. While perhaps the Putin worshippers on here might not I assure you the Ukrainians remember the Holodomor.

Putin is expected to give a major speech soon, detailing how the Washington deep state has been controlling Ukraine for its own nefarious purposes.

Why send 700,000 men when a link to verifiable receipts on any Chan or Kune would end the West?
I guess he wants the square-mileage of territory first.

sad fact is that you dont realize putin wasnt stopping at ukraine. how many times does he have to tell yall he wants to rebuild the russian empire before you listen?


I've heard some folks that I respect echo your POV but I ask..
Do you really think Russia has the ability to force project anywhere else besides Ukraine any time soon? Let's say they take Ukraine. The Russians will likely be fighting an insurgency for years. I just don't see how they will have the ability to move beyond Ukraine especially into a NATO country. If they try then Putin is truly insane and well then we are all probably fricked anyway.

The new Russian Black Sea Fleet has glass bottoms so they can see the old Russian Black Sea Fleet.

At the present rate of attrition, Russia will have more KIA than the US did in all of WWII

And Syria yes..I meant force project effectively against a NATO country with the full force of NATO.
I really do go back and forth as to how we should be handling the situation and which will be less likely in resulting in our worst fears

apologies. I did not realize you were limiting your comment to aggression against NATO countries.

Yeah, they are not attacking NATO.

Over 400,000 Us deaths in WW2.

The Ukraine conflict already has hundreds of thousands dead and many more wounded.

A tragedy of historic proportions, no matter how you look at it.

I have an unnamed source who pegs Ukrainian losses at 105,000.

An answer.

Thank you.

So 20k or so more losses by Russia than Ukraine. Russia has no problem with a war of attrition.

He said former Russian empire so the countries you mentioned would count but he also mentioned the Balkans as being the possible next target.

Calling them soldiers is a stretch. Former prison gets, Wagner, conscripts, most if not all of them have no desire to fight or be there at all.
