IN two years, Russia has had ALL the advantages from numbers, to technology, to air superiority. The fact that Ukraine has fought to a draw against overwhelming disadvantage is itself a victory for Ukraine and a net loss for Russia.

@PerceivedREALITY999 "Fact checked" by whom? Verified independently by who? You can claim whatever OPINION you want, but that doesn't make it true. And considering that such reliable sources as SOVIET PRAVDA use "fact checkers", that shows how insincere you are.

The Russian Bear is geriatric!

If your claim is true, then why did the citizens of Kiev welcome the Russians with Molotov Cocktails instead of flower garlands?

Tacitly, they have made gains, but on a strategic level, they have lost spectacularly. NATO is not more united than they have ever been since the 1980s. More members, and now with Finland as a member, Russia is even MORE vulnerable.

@boink800 True that. But I consider it good debate practice to wrestle with them.

@CountDuckEgg Perun, a defense logistic channel got into that very topic and if you actually watch his videos, he even cites the sources. Yes, Russia can produce shells, but even by Russia's own numbers, they are burning through shells faster than they can produce them. It nicely explains why the number of fires at the start of the war have now dropped to barely a thrid.

The media doesn't actually want to report that American opinion on Ukraine is nuanced. Most don't oppose sending OLD and soon to be retired equipment. What they are absolutely adamant about is putting boots on the ground in Ukraine. And most Americans are skeptical about sending cash, whereas medical supplies are much harder to launder.

And yet, Putin stole Crimea while Biden was directing Obama's foreign policy. Putin waited until Joe Bite-Me was in the White House before he invaded Ukraine. If Trump was Putin's agent, then why didn't Putin do ANY of that while Trump was in the White House? You don't have a rational answer that.

@Jeromeeb So basically it was PENCE, not Trump that said it. Considering that Pence was to Trump what Grima Wormtongue was to King Theoden of Rohan in Lord of the Rings, that tells you how credible Pence is. And explains why NOBODY in the GOP likes him anymore.

Russia can produce shells but not at the rate of consumption. THAT is why they are begging for ammo from North Korea. Compare munitions expenditures from the first year of the war to now and it has dropped to less than a third.

If Trump is Putin's ally, then why did Putin not invade Ukraine while Trump was in office? Why did he steal Crimea while Biden was directing Obama's Foreign Policy? Why did he wait until Biden was in the White House to invade?

@TonyM540 Then why didn't Putin attack Ukraine while Trump was in office? If they were buddies, why did Putin wait until AFTER Trump left office to attack Ukraine? And don't go into that copium argument about "losing influence". He stole Crimea while Biden was Obama's Vice.

@PerceivedREALITY999 Wow, got under your skin did I? Also, you seem to forget that Putin himself violated the terms of Minsk, assuming that they had any legitimacy (and they didn't because NOBODY actually ratified them).

Abraham Lincoln was removed from the ballot in the state that would later rebel as the Confederacy and still won the election. You don't think that history might just repeat itself?

@abrakadavra3193 Agreed. When the leadership of the US starts acting like the very autocrats, they accuse Trump of being, you know they are terrified of losing power, just like in those dictatorships.

Quantity only has merit if it meets minimum quality requirements. 10 million flintlock guns are not going to be of much use against 1,000 M1 Grands.

Don't forget, while Trump was in office, Putin didn't dare mess around with Ukraine. He stole Crimea while Biden was directing Obama's foreign policy.

Ukraine didn't have a choice in the matter. Are you saying that they should just roll over and accept slavery to Moscow? How very despotic of you. I hope you prefer living on your knees as a subject rather than on your feet as a free person.
