  1.  @Gladissims  Maybe the best answer is ... it took US 6 weeks to take Fallujah. One city. Besides west insists that only about 150k regular Russian troops are involved as well as only 50k militia. Ukraine has at least 2x manpower advantage. Russia still holds the record for biggest advance in a day & the most land taken in two weeks.

  2.  @arty5876  According to plain logic Russia has to suffer less then half of the casualties Ukraine is. If it was suffering more then 1/2 then Ukraine will be driving them out & there was no way they could attack.

  3. Well we know Ukraine is lying as we have OSDE observers and they can tell who is shelling. Both sides.

  5. @Atlantis Maybe, or they just fix things in place - i.e. do price controls. Once war is over it will go back to normal. Just a short level of pain which can easily be countered. One has to remember that Soviets did not exactly depended on US or EU & no one got hungry, at least no one after 1947.

  6. @Atlantis Lend lease sure did help but lets not over or under state its importance. You also don't know how command economics works as I bet no one in the west took a course in the economy of socialism.

  7. Russia started the war with about 2700 tanks in active service and used 1500 directly. Ukraine had 1000 tanks or so in the beginning. Ukraine realistically could have repaired another 1000 tanks from stocks of old junk. They got around 600 tanks from NATO. They lost about 11 x 150 tanks == 1650 tanks so far and have roughly same number of active tanks now as at the start of the war without any reserves left====> hence the panic to get tanks.

  8. Nah they already got 1 done - connected Crimea to Donbass. They are close to 2nd getting whole Donbass. After that they can claim they also killed lots of Nazis (see Mariupol) and removed Ukraine war capability. And viola, war is won. Of course Ukraine can keep fighting. But Russia would mostly defend.

  10. ​ @GorgeDawes how? Oh that is easy, mines, drones, etc. They had access to the dam. I say 75 it was an accident, 20% Ukraine, 5% Russia.
