  1.  @andrewnorris5415  Ukraine has captured in one week more territory than Russia took in over a year. Cope harder.

  2.  @maestro6458  Other than bargaining chips at the negotiation table. The return of Kursk Oblast for the return of Kherson and Zaphoresia Oblasts.

  3. Put down the vodka Russia bot.

  4.  @alexnik1181  That is hyperbolae. Yes, Ukraine is taking lots of prisoners, but there is no need to make absurdist claims.

  5. The battle of Kiev says otherwise. So does the collapse as Izyum. And the evacuation of Kherson City.

  6. My guess is that Western Logistics has been a factor in their planning of this. While the Soviet system heavily relied on rail (as we have seen with Russia), the Ukrainians have been depending more on wheeled and tracked vehicles to deliver supplies (the M113 battle taxi can deliver supplies just as easily as troops.)

  7. This time Russia doesn't have the US and UK providing them supplies to fight that battle like they did in WW2.

  8. Name one. Specifics, not generalities.

  9. It is called a land-swap. Russia gets back Kursk while Ukraine gets back Kherson, Zaphoresia, Luhansk, and Donesk.

  10. Cope hard Private Conscriptovich.

  11. Agreed. Ukraine "welcomed" Russia with Molotov Cocktails. The Russian citizens of Kursk Oblast have not.

  12.  @davidjohn8889  Drunkenski isn't just a trope, it seems to be a common defining feature of Russia and Shills for Russia.

  13.  @margaretha907  Operation Faustschlag says otherwise.

  14. I don't think Ukraine could annex Kursk. But they COULD help them to form a "Volga Republic" in opposition to Putin's "Russian Federation".

  15. Ukraine is not so stupid as to shell a nuclear power plant. Unlike the Russians, they will NOT use it as an ammunition dump.

  16. Yet the Kaiser's army under Hindenberg humiliated both Tsarist Russia AND Soviet Russia. Putin's leadership is as effective as The Soviet Red Army was under Leon Trotsky.

  17. Name one SPECIFIC thing he was wrong. Generalities don't count.

  18.  @yelenashishkina8804  The only enemy of the Russian people is the Kremlin. Under Yeltsin, there was reproachment and a possible new future between Russia and the West. Putin slammed that door shut.

  20. Russia is sending its oil to China and India while getting ripped off at the Pump. Not even OPEC can save Russia's energy industry.

  21. And yet he is a retired general. Western Generals have to at least be competent, unlike Russian generals.

  22. Stop shilling for Russia. Truth doesn't care about your feelings.

  24. Operation Faustschlag says that Russia CAN be defeated in the winter. And that was the SECOND time the Imperial Kaiser's Army defeated Russia.

  25. The problems Russia had reinforcing Zaphoresia and Kherson says that they can't so quickly redeploy forces to Kursk.

  26. Operation Faustschlag says otherwise. Russia CAN be defeated in winter. And that was actually the SECOND time the Imperial Germans owned the Russians.

  27. Then why were they not there in Kursk to being with? Putin got caught with his pants down!
    1
  28.  @georgesibley7152  It would appear that Putin ended up out playing himself. He tried to pull a Patton Fake Army complete with inflatable tanks in Kursk only for Ukraine to take it so seriously, they went on the offense in a preemptive strike.

  30. Name one specific. Generalities don't count.

  32. I kind of agree with this. I also think he SHOULD hold elections and step aside. If he didn't have such as contentious relationship with the mayor of Kiev, I would think Vitali Klitschko would have been the natural successor, with Zelensky taking a step back to be a mover and shaker behind the throne.

  33. Funny, because ALL news agencies are by definition propaganda. Some are just more overt than others.

  34. They are. NATO forced them to clean up their behavior during the first two months. Then the Ukrainians realized it was an opportunity to demoralize the enemy by feeding them and then letting them call home to momma.

  35. The Russian Bear is GERIATRIC!

  36. Cope harder Private Conscriptovich.

  37. Remains to be seen. Ukraine caught Russia with its pants down.

  38. More like Paul von Hindenburg. Russia HAS lost before. TWICE to the Kaiser's Army.
    1
  39. Then why didn't they do so at the start? Why does Kiev still stand? The Russian Bear is geriatric.

  40.  @MrJonathanainsworth  Finland and Sweden joining NATO means that goal is an abject failure. Those nations had zero reason to join until AFTER Russia invaded. NATO wasn't deterred, it was expanded.

  41.  @lewiselliott9038  Everyone has bias. The issue is whether they admit it. Most of the West will acknowledge they are rooting for Ukraine. Simply acknowledging that means the bias is neutralized.

  42. Maybe not in his pants because Ukraine caught him with his pants DOWN.

  43.  @yelenashishkina8804  Yugoslavia was never really a viable country, simply a collection of mutually antagonistic ethnic groups kept together under the bootheel of Jozef Tito. And comparing Gaza under Hamas to Ukraine is apples to oranges false analogy, typical of propagandists being intellectually dishonest. Keep coping Private Conscriptovich.

  44. Generally, yes. But in this case, Putin left his entire frontier in Bryansk and Kursk undefended. Ukraine went for the soft underbelly.

  45.  @ransertu7630  That is half of Ukraine. It is not a serious proposal.
    1
  46.  @georgesibley7152  If the Russians knew Ukraine was coming, why have they failed to stop the incursion? Why is Ukraine easily 40km inside Russian territory? Your claims only beg larger and more embarrassing questions.

  47.  @georgesibley7152  Cope harder. Stop making excuses (rationalization fallacy)

  48.  @RomanHistoryFan476AD  Cope harder private Drunkenski.
