  21. TL;DW: No. The Wunderwaffen obsession is unhealthy and unrealistic. Saint Javelin turned out to be hype, Saint Bayraktar could only do so much, now it's Saint Seven's turn to be the subject of toasts and memes for about 5 weeks until it turns out to just be another weapon on the rack. The M777 without the Excalibur shells AND the FCS doesn't do anything the resident 152mm systems don't do, it just does their jobs but better, and they weren't included in the packages, and the M777 requires all new training and all new logistics for its caliber. Guess what Russia has systematically made a point of destroying since its very opening act? Ukrainian logistics. Russia has made over 3400 strikes on supplies and transportation of Ukraine's military since the start. Nothing is going to save Ukraine. Its gear was even older and in worse shape than Russia's. Its economy was 6% that of Russia's. The NATO trained troops are wiped out, the reservists are old and fat, they don't even have enough boots and rifles for everyone. Even higher up, Zaluzhny is a very bad general. He fails at basic war 101, like building up ample concentrations before attacks, he fails to seize initiative, he pins his hopes on fortresses where he puts men the Russians can kill at leisure, and so on. A very frank assessment is this: Russia is gaining land even faster now than at the start, despite Ukraine being at full mobilization and getting so much help. Russia now controls 20% of Ukraine as a whole, 95% of Lugansk and 60% of Donbass. The land corridor to Crimea is established, several of the Natsbats have been so thoroughly devastated as to be dissolved, willing residents are becoming Russian citizens, and soon shall be able to do as they voted for years ago and formally join Russia. What will Ukraine do then? Invade sovereign Russian land and get a fully mobilized Russian response? Our media and leadership are changing their rhetoric gradually from "Putin cannot be allowed to remain in power!" and "No Ukrainian land shall be surrendered!" to "We need to think of a negotiated settlement" and "Russia is achieving its goals."

  23.  @brick647  He never said that. His real advice for dealing with Russians was "The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia. 1863, when first in power And his advice on what to do about deals with Russians: "Do not expect that once taking advantage of Russia's weakness, you will receive dividends forever. Russia has always come for their money. And when they come, do not rely on an agreement signed by you, you are supposed to justify. They are not worth the paper it is written. Therefore, with the Russian is to play fair, or do not play." The West messed with the Bear, now here comes the claws! MInsk 1? A deception ignored while waging genocide and rearming. Minsk 2? A deception made to buy more time to wage further war as genocide raged on. Ukraine rejected UN peacekeepers! Ukraine rejected joint peacekeepers! 8 years and more than just these 4 peace attempts later, Russia had enough Nazi genocide shenangins spearheading 34 years of western aggression encroaching its borderland with a giant army and hostile nations against every last assurance. You mess with the bear you get the claws. You forget the because the bear looks pudgy and fluffy that it's also a killing massive muscular killing machine with fangs to crush your skull and claws to rip your guts. Too late now. Russia gave 34 years of patience and good faith, only to be rewarded with the murder of its citizens and their families by western back genocidal fanatics on its border and in its own lands. The bear is furious.
