re: Russia: Foreign nationals, including diplomatic missions and staff, MUST leave Kyiv ASAP!

Juat curious. If Russia isn't trying, but the Trump Administration says they have lost over 1 million soldiers, what happens when they do start trying? Is that casualty count going up or down?

If you're one of those guys who doesn't believe Russia is actually getting skull fricked over there, this is a summary of Marco Rubio's comments on the matter.

quote:

---

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has characterized the ongoing conflict as an "illogical war", noting that Russia is currently losing roughly 7,000 soldiers every week, which far exceeds the casualties seen in many past major conflicts.
He has provided these additional perspectives on the battlefield situation:
Massive Attrition Rate: Rubio stated that Russia is losing five times as many soldiers per month as Ukraine is, emphasizing the massive human cost Russia is willing to pay.
Territorial Impact: He has highlighted that staggering casualties are being sustained just to fight over narrow strips of territory, such as a 30 to 50-kilometer corridor in the Donetsk region.
Motivation for Diplomacy: Citing these staggering loss-of-life figures, Rubio has underscored that this massive toll on both human and economic levels is a key factor driving Washington's push to find diplomatic paths toward a ceasefire and a sustainable peace deal

Would you like me to link you to the videos where he says Russia lost 100,000 dead (not wounded but actually KIA) in just the first 6 months of last year? Happy to do so.

Rub ee Oh is and always will be loyal to the Gang of 8. He is a POS, just waiting for opportunity.

Then why is he Trump's Secretary of State?

Still amazes me how much dumb shite is posted on this board, Russia's not trying?

Exposure. He is definitely being exposed.

Trump not only appointed him, but has supported him, and has increased his exposure and responsibility. Which has led to Rubio increasing his profile and poll stamdings. While at the same time, Vance has had a diminishing roll in the Administration.

Should someone tell Trump that Rubio is a dangerous plant loyal to the Gang of 8 and in a position to undermine the Trump presidency?

I think it's your duty as a patriot. Trump apparently isn't aware of what a snake he has at his feet.

destruction in Kiev? No. But will it force Z to get his worthless arse to the table? Hopefully.

---

You recall how Zhelensky accepted Trump's ceasefire proposal, but Putin did not. Which lead Trump to say: "I guess Putin doesn't really want a peace deal after all?"

Remember that? I remember. The rest of the world remembers.

Putin fan boys have conveniently forgotten

A lot of PDS in here

Nobody is a fan boy. Most just hate the little prick that’s in charge of Ukraine who hasn’t held an election.

Why? He was an actor who ran for President. Then his country got invaded by an aggressive neighbor who wanted his fertile farm land, gas fields, pipeline routes, and warm water ports.

But instead of rolling over and fleeing to Poland, he stood and fought. And his people stood and fought. And died by the thousands to protect their sovereignty. Because they didn't want to become the next Belarus.

And now these guys are doing three really important things:

1) Tying down the Russian army so it can't come after the Baltics

2) Buying a ton of military hardware from the US using European and Russian money

3) Being the most cost effective, cutting edge, innovative war fighters in the world. The Trump Administration just recently signed a law allowing the US to buy arms from Ukraine. Because there are several areas where Ukrainian autonomous weapons systems are ahead of ours. So they are literally teaching us how to fight the next war, at pennies on the dollar.

It's a pretty badass story.

Russia has fought a soft war, protecting Ukrainian infrastructure. I pray Russia soon turns it up several notches and forces Ukraine to give up Zelensky and his minions.
