@geneoh5048 All the Russian economic figures are presented by Rosstat, the official Russian government statistics.

Why? Who's gonna turn the keys and issue the codes?

Bruh Russia's population is half of that and there's hints that their population stats are cooked up. Most Russians are in the city and content to live their city lifestyle and the ones living in the countryside don't care about who the current Tsar is.

How? What's methodical about using a shadow arm of the GRU to hire prisoners and use them as suicide squads? And then capturing a single town/small city. If Bakhmut was a Californian city it would be the 100th most populous. Imagine if the US invaded Mexico and a year and a half later not only it struggled to capture Chihuahua, American rebels fighting for Mexicans were invading El Paso.

The military was competent. The political side wasn't.

@ian111 How is it competent? Oligarchs are rushing to align themselves with private military corporations, actual warlords are fighting for the scraps. The figures by Igor Korashenkov belong in the realm of Sasquatch sightings and UFOs. The Americans aren't into Ukraine. This is Russia's Afghanistan. And Russia already had an Afghanistan. Last time Moscow went into Afghanistan, the Union collapsed.

Russia losing to a country getting issued non-operational stuff is worse.

Russia won't last that long. Forget the MIC. At this point the Ukrainians are running on sheer hatred alone. And if by some miracle Russia stays in the game until 2025 (taking office) Trump can negotiate whatever he wants, the Ukrainians would never stop. And the UK and Poland would make up for the Trump blackmail.

Same exact script as Kherson.
