Russia will not lose this war. They think losing is not an option. Doesn't matter who gets in.

Yeah, seriously, frick this noise.

Tell Zelensky the criminal, rights abuser & professional grifter the jig is up. Inform we are withdrawing our support, and that they must sue for peace, surrendering what's been lost.

Unfortunately, our President seems far more concerned about the territorial integrity of Ukraine, Hamas/Gaza (same thing in my view) and Haiti than our own country and potentially best ally, Israel.

Disgracio.

There are three options left on the table, and the timeline for them to be chosen is less than 60 days.

1. NATO Joins
2. Ukraine Surrenders
3. Russia takes what they want.

You want option 2 or 3.

If NATO enters, this world will rapidly be thrown into utter chaos. USA/NATO started this whole shite to begin with by poking the bear for decades.

approximately 1000 yards of territory a day
you realize that's really not very much unless you are in wwi, and mostly that's because past avdivka the terrain to the west is not very defensible until the next line at Berdychi, Orlivka and Tonen'ke so most of that was surrendered without a fight.

Putin has masterfully outlasted Ukraine by depleting them of troops, and western ammunition.
lol, masterfully lost 400k of his own troops, around 15000k vehicles that can be confirmed with imagery, including at least 2 of the 7 operational awacs planes in their entire air force and 1/4 of their black sea fleet. All that to gain marginally more than they already controlled through their proxies before the war ever started. Yeah, putin is sun tsu, Napoleon, Hannibal, Scipio Africanus, Belisarius, and Alexander all wrapped up in one. And his plan to stop the spread of NATO on his border by getting several long neutral countries to join NATO is sheer brilliance.

Pretty much, but the idea was to make Russia pay for the ground they took such as by sinking their Black Sea fleet.

American tax payers paid too.

When does your OT Infantry Battalion ship out? Let us all know so that we can be there to give you a proper send off. Hero.

The only sort of aid Ukraine should get from the U. S. and Europe is all of our male military age "immigrants".

It was always a war of attrition and Ukraine never had the numbers in their favor for that type of war.

You are laying the praise on a little thick aren’t you? It’s Russia versus fricking Ukraine. Lol.


Ukraine funded and armed by about 30 fricking countries. Ukraine also had over 400,000 soldiers with combat experience before the invasion.

As soon as Ukraine surrenders (and they will), the DC swamp will be ready to send them billions to "rebuild", of which 40% or more will flow back to the swamp creatures.

That’s a great idea instead of flying them to Martha’s Vineyard fly them to Kiev

Nothing has been masterful. It was to have been over 18 months ago.
People keep saying that, but I don't think folks were looking at numbers.

This was from 2018, listing Ukraine as the 10th most powerful European military
quote:

Total population: 44,033,874

Total military personnel: 1,182,000

Total aircraft strength: 240

Fighter aircraft: 39

Combat tanks: 2,214

Total naval assets: 25

Defense budget: $4.88 billion
LINK

A couple numbers jump out: over 1 million military personnel, over 2200 tanks.

They were part of the USSR until say 1990, so a lot of that would be Soviet gear comparable to what the Russians have.
And the Russians went in somewhat methodically, not doing the blitz tactics the US does.

This was always going to be a grind, where the Russians win with superior numbers. Ukraine also doing "Soviet" defensive tactics, trying to bleed them into reconsidering. And now with NATO donating gear, to see how well things work against the Russians.

Anyone expecting Ukraine to collapse like Iraq was dreaming.

Be that as it may, he masterfully milked the American taxpayer out of billions of dollars, courtesy of our public "servants," and for that you shall have no rebuttal, for a fact cannot be negated.
