Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Totally unrelated to the previous post.

But Putin is dead. Yep. Dead.

We're not sure which Putin is dead yet.

It could be that time of the year when he dies and rises again on the third day or he could be short of blood and is just having a rest or maybe someone has actually drove a stake through his heart this time.

We live in hope. That Putin is dead.

Adios.

Russia has not lost this war,has alway bening a broken concept Its people are unlike any normal civil human being, I have met many.

It has 400,000 according to ISW in Ukraine still recruiting and sending them willingly on daily suicide missions.

Ukraine is a neighbouring state was part of USSR so has no language barrier and is familiar territory and its bases.

It has built massive defense lines in occupied areas Ukraine does not have the same resources it has a mostly mobile defence

It, as we know now won't be their airforce or naval prowess but sheer numbers they throw into battle including prisoners.

John Kirby has said they are executing soldiers who reteat from artillery barrages.

The current attack on adivka is similar bakmuth hoping to keep pressure on its defenders or they run out of ammo.

Ukraine has stopped its main offensive because of the above

I am not a Russian supporter but a realist the west needs to do more it has dragged it heals so far to kill off this beast

Russia can afford to lose 10 to 1 and still be in the game even if the equipment is from ww1 putin won't stop until he is, most stalin loving Russians support this 3 day war.

This war has taken a bit of a back seat at the moment because of the middle east but unfortunately Putin has the numbers to keep going he could lose a half a million and it wouldn't cost him a night's sleep .All the wishful thinking of a lot of us here is proving what it was just hoping for the best outcome .I don't know what it will take to push Putin out but I am a lot more fearful of the outcome now than I was a year ago .Hope to god I am wrong and Ukraine gets the weapons it clearly needs to make the difference and succeed.

There must be post generator software re: Ukraine. Sometimes reading discussions on the topic is like slogging through a gauntlet of sloppy form letters.

For his life? They must be feeling nervous..

Yet Israel didn’t give one bullet to Ukraine to defend themselves from Russia.

Champagne at the ready.

Another boat gone?

I'd say it would be more than a trickle ,18 months in the trenches or front lines is a long time it shows Ukraine might not have the ability to replace those directly on the front,add to the fact there is units begging on social media for basic military equipment, ballistic helmets, body armour/plate carriers and winter clothing and sleeping bags , at this stage in the game there shouldn't be a soldier on the front lines with our winter gear , ballistic helmets and body armour, they have received billions in aid and apparently have 44 billion to spend on defence this year yet soldiers in trenches don't even have the basics and being reliant on handouts from people on social media
