Russia gins up some BS about Ukraine going after Putin’s home and less than a week later the US snatches a foreign president ftom his home.

You have to appreciate the irony in all this.

Actually we did well in the beginning. We had a huge turnaround and won the West.

But after that BK coasted.

Tucker has to be right. If it weren’t 1:8 Russia wouldn’t be breaking through the Ukrainian lines like a knife through butter.

Well I was posting the quote tweet mainly but yes maybe he does just want clicks. There seems to be a lot of agreement on the premise though.

I didn’t disagree that the cities listed are critical.

I don’t see where this year is any more critical than past years. There is no evidence of that.

But it could be a turning point, but it’s anybody’s guess.

You're kind of hyper focusing on just that part of the post a bit too much it seems.

That was because it was so out there.

The guy appeared to just wsnt clicks. No I fight, just a bold statement.

I don't get the impression that he was implying anything of the sort, just saying how important these areas are.


That is obvious, what isn't obvious is what he means by the most critical year yet.

It seems as if he is hyping things up for clicks.
The most crucial year yet?????

I wonder what the guy said in 22? 23? 24? Last year?

Since all those years have passed and 2026 is here certainly it’s the most crucial year. By that I mean it’s the only year we have right now.

Could 2026 bring a Russian breakthrough? A collapse of the Russian economy and their war effort? Sure, either could happen; however, I doubt anyone really knows for certain if the stalemate with Russian gradually walking east will continue as is.

looked at last two portal classes and they ranked in the 25-30 range. I didn’t bother to check High School recruiting as I know they aren’t a major player there.


Because the ranking systems aren’t the gold standard everybody thinks they are..
Our DL fell way short of the DLs we are seeing in the playoffs. It’s not even close.

We need help up front in the portal. A top edge rusher and a stud DT for sure.

Absolutely, and it might not matter


lol

It already matters.

Ask any of the Russian families who lost family members. Ask those that have to care for their maimed live one. Ask all the Russians who are being forced to do without so Putin can win his war.

In just over 50 days the special operation will have lasted four years. Keep in mind too that in early 2014 Russia invaded Crimea and sent troops into the Donbas. That was twelve years ago.

Putting things in context. The US troops were in Vietnam approximately 12 years. Russia and Germany fought each other in WWII for three years 11 months approximately.

This war is becoming more and more of a drain on Russia than anyone could have imagined in 2014 or even in 2022.

When you have posters in here sky screaming every day about the cost of Russia obtaining land being so high and their capabilities deteriorating, and all the while Russia took MORE land at a lower cost this year, yeah it kind of does change things.


Not true, everything I’ve read indicate that Russian losses in 2025 were greater than their losses in 2024.

Sure they took more land, but it cost them more casualties.

And that doesn’t account for the tanks, artillery, vehicles, shells, and other munitions that they have spent. Nor does it account for their economic losses.

2025 was a bad year for Russia. You can’t sugarcoat it.
No surprise.

Stalin and Putin are the same types. Russia breeds these types.
Day one Trump messed up.

If he was serious about it, he should have asked Putin what he do to give him an out.

He should have then done what he promised, made it way tougher on Russia through economic means and aid to Ukraine.

Russia would know Trump meant business but instead Trump saddled up to Putin and failed to use any kind of leverage on Russia.
