@Arch497 a lot less than the cost of one of Zelensky's overseas properties.

@nicocrestmere9688 if there is no strategy in rubble, explain the Allied mass bombings of Dresden and Berlin.

@Arch497 the question was "at what cost?" i gave a sarcastic answer referring to the much higher cost of a Zelensky property, but it's hard for you Zelensky bots to detect sarcasm, I know. Keep trying!

@Arch497 while we are chatting, how about you answer the question that DW refuses to tackle? Why does Ukraine continually need more weapons? is NATO unable to supply more, or unwilling to supply more? which one is it?
2
@bonnie7898 so what is the answer? Is NATO unable to provide Ukraine with the weaponry it needs, or is NATO unwilling to provide Ukraine with the weaponry it needs? cue crickets. p.s. looks like you have conceded defeat. what happened to all your boasting about how NATO produced far more armaments than Russia could ever produce?
2
@bonnie7898 to find out from the NATO fans, who swore that NATO would ensure a Ukraine victory, fans like you, why NATO failed. Lack of will or out-produced by Russia? but of course, I never get an answer. par for the course for those who never understood anything about Russia.

@nicocrestmere9688 and how would you know the Russian casualties were 60k? standing on the front line with your abacus and clipboard, were you? Mariupol was all rubble too. Look at it now! rebuilt and a vibrant Russian city! i get it, it's tough when your narrative and your side lose.

Just a matter of time before EU Sanctions package number 15 brings Russia to its knees.

@nicocrestmere9688 363 air raids over Berlin in WW2. Go to Wikipedia and take a look at the photos. Loads or rubble is what I see.

@bonnie7898 when do you think EU sanctions package number 15 will be announced, you know, the one that brings Russia to its knees? Remember when you said that egg prices were rising in Russia, a sure sign of imminent economic collapse. Are those egg prices still rising?:)

@bonnie7898 If only NATO had reliable allies such as Iran and North Korea. Instead NATO got the remarkably effete, ineffective and spineless Sweden and Finland!

@nicocrestmere9688 they don't, at the time. after the war, when numbers are released and verified, then we have an idea. during the conflict, only approximations can be made by observing obituaries and visiting cemeteries, which BBCMediazona has done, and the indications there are that Ukraine has much, much heavier casualties.

@bonnie7898 It's not about towns, is it? A war of attrition is about reducing the enemy to total destruction. As Putin stated, demiliarization (all fighting age men dead), denazification (the Azovs and Banderites dead and never to be in power again), and no NATO for Ukraine. So far, Russia is making MUCH better headway in its aims than Ukraine is in its. Or do you think Crimea will be in Zelensky's hands next week?
1
@bonnie7898 I don't. I have no idea how many casualties Russia has suffered. It's not me stating the exact numbers of Russian or Ukrainian casualties. It's the Russophobes that keep throwing numbers out there. What I am saying is that based on what the Ukrainian soldiers are reporting, Ukrainian casualties must be much, much higher than Russia's.
1
@bonnie7898 when exactly do you expect the Russian economy to collapse such that Russia will no longer be able to finance its war in Ukraine? 2035 maybe?
1
@bonnie7898 You described the methods of a war of attrition and I described its results in the case of the Ukraine war. You are right, wearing down the enemy's ability to fight and its will to fight. So far, Putin's 5 goals are within sight. None of Zelensky's are at all, unless you swallowed the Kool-aid and thought that denying the Ukrainian people heat and power this winter was one of Zelensky's aims. When do you expect to see Ukrainian troops marching into Crimea?:)

The question DW never answers. Is NATO unable to deliver the weaponry Kiev needs, or is NATO unwilling?
1
When will we see the F16s in action? Are there any F16s in Ukraine?
