Yes, This war has always been unwinnable.

The best thing Ukraine should have done two years ago is make a peace deal.

The war is still unwinnable. The best thing to do today is make a peace deal.

Those Ukrainian prison legions are going to look like WWII Russian legions from Enemy At The Gates… two people chained together with one gun and a political officer shooting anyone who retreats.

No shite. This is what anyone with the brain has been saying for the past year. They don’t have a weapons problem. They have a manpower problem.

Average age of a Ukrainian soldier is creeping up into the late 40s.

Reddit Brigade needs to help fix that if they are so invested in this war.

Guys, I think we can win if we just send them a few billion dollars more.

It's unfortunate money can't buy more lives or else they might have actually had a shot.

I still put that more on us than Ukraine. They didn’t really come at this from a position of bargaining. We do though, but Boris Johnson went and shut down any peace talks.

And quite frankly, I don’t personally blame Zelensky for this, because if he succumbs to Russia, then the Nazis who surround him will kill him and his entire family. I am sick of Zelensky, but I don’t know I’d do anything differently if I was in his unfortunate situation.

In the beginning of this war Putin wanted Piano Man killed. Now he realizes that would have been a mistake to kill him. Zelenskyy has had a lot of people killed for no reason

I know the reason: because the Nazis around him will kill him and his entire family if he surrenders or does a peace deal. That should have come from us.

It’s going to be hard for Russia to make much gains. The technology now favors defense in a big way. Drones and mines are just brutal to attacking armies. This is similar to the situation that developed in WW1.

This appears to be literally true. They’re pulling units from their positions on the front line in the Donbas to cover Kharkov.

I think you missed the part where Russia gained 50 square miles in a matter of days because ukraine had laundered the money meant for defenses.

They are only getting 37 billion in weapons, the rest is for civil servants pay and pensions. 37 billion less laundering, isnt going to do squat. Everyone knows that, they are just hoping its enough to drag the dead bodies of ukraine across the nov 6th deadline then they will be abandoned just like those in afghanistan, iraq, vietnam,.......
