Russia - threadbanned users in OP

No end in sight Putin will keep sending bodies out to fight even if they are poorly trained and equipped they will keep the Ukrainians engaged for the foreseeable future unfortunately.

You'd wonder just how long it will take. But it must happen in time. Doubtless our regular Russian psychiatrist will tell us they are incapable of independent thought and will act like zombies to the last.

Collapse won't be apparent until it happens in russia if history is anything to go by. russians are used to misery and hopelessness but everything has a breaking point.

The shinners and pro Palestinian posters won't be happy

So victory is not around the corner for the Russians.

They were duped all along and 300 thousand young men died for nothing.

For a population even smaller than before Germany and France and an economy smaller than Italy maybe the penny is dropping that people saw through what they were trying to project to the world.

Not great. The seats in the Hague must be getting warmed up in preparation.

More tripe just like the Israeli thread

USA has enough ammo for every conceivable war in any theatre and then some. russian pathetic attempts to deflect from it's own post industrial struggles are only gifting us all with **** and giggles.

The Ukrainians are definitively weathering the Russian attacks from the last few weeks. The targeted artillery and precision strike seem to continually thwart what feels like the only Russian advantage at this stage, which is numbers.

A huge change from a year or more ago, when the Russians had huge artillery advantages. The Russian threat seems to diminish more the longer the war goes on.

The huge disappointment has been the European response at large. The lack of commitment to new manufacturing facilities for shells and weapon systems is keeping the Russians in the game longer. If Europe had a fully funded plan in place to ramp up the military industrial complex, that knowledge would be proof that Europe is serious about it's own defence, instead it's individual countries making piecemeal purchases of equipment, but no central commitment to putting the pieces in place for long term security.

The game-changing imminent occupation of Kupiansk and the encirclement of Avdiivka - are those still on?

Report form Ukraine that renewed attacks by putin's forces on chemical plant at Adiivka achieved nothing significant:

putin's forces have been attacking Adiivka since 2014. Nothing new there I can see except for lots more dead moskovytes and destroyed moskovyte military equipment recently unless you have some reliable evidence to show otherwise.

I believe its only a matter of time before the Stalin doctrine catches up with Putin. Will it be the money running out to prosecute the war? Facts on the ground or just sheer loss of number that will be the tipping point. Maybe a combination of all three, but something is going to give in 2024.

No it's not. You are the only one I can see claiming putin's forces are in Adiivka. Here is another recent report with details from the front lines in that area with nothing to support your claim.

It took Russia 9 months to take bakmuth but there wasn't always heavy fighting until the last 6 months when they threw but the kitchen sink at it , while Ukraine seem to be taking there time trying to get it back,and I don't blame them bakmuth was costly to the Ukrainians too , while people focus on Russian losses they tend to be blind to the idea that Ukraine actually suffered at bakmuth just as bad they were re-enforced 4 times and still lost it taken heavy losses which most would have been considered unnecessary losses,and over the last while we're hearing complaints Ukrainian unit's haven't left the front in 18 months so there doesn't seem to appear to be a lot of rotation going on this can lead to tiredness and complacency which costs lives ,

A couple of weeks ago people were telling us how the Russians couldt hold a vital slag heap now they are in adviika I don't think anyone would have predicted Russians getting that far ,it's now snowing in Ukraine so hopefully that will slow down the Russians for a couple of weeks to months
