Russians are getting ready to storm Bahmut, entered Soledar and are ready for general storming of Severts. This line of defense is about to disintegrate & through August we will see desperate but futile Ukrainian attempt to defend Sloviansk - Krematorsk line.

Zielinski quietly extending boundaries of Donbass ;)

@fredbyoutubing nah, predictably Ukrainian offensive in kherson was a total failure. Other then taking huge losses they gained exactly nothing. Ukraine simply cannot go on the offensive. As for Donbass its moving slowly. Village after village. One has to understand that eventually Ukraine will run out of people. They are taking massive losses to hold the line.

@fredbyoutubing It already failed as many others - there is plenty of confirmation. If Ukraine had any success we would certainly know it from Ukraine itself. But even they confirm "problems". Russian losses are many times smaller then Ukraine. Russian aims are being realized. Russian stated goals of the war. You win the war once your goals are realized. It is as simple as that. There was no stated goal of capturing land intact.
2
@fredbyoutubing Ummm, the goal is all about economy, military and moral advantage. So I do not see why sane Russian people should be against it. I, on the other hand, fail to see why average Ukrainian should be for this war, which breaks the country and kills 1000s. This war is NOT good for Ukraine - it is fought to defend US imperial ambitions. I.e. Ukrainians and Russians are dying b/c US wants to weaken Russia with them. There is nothing in this war "for Ukraine" - nothing at all. Ukraine is paying the costs but has no gains.

NATO training effectiveness can be best seen in Afghanistan in Iraq ;))))))))))))))))))

@davidgmillsatty1900 It was more like 30k plus not even 40k. It was a gamble and it failed.

They are fairly well trained and have much higher morale and motivation as they are on the home ground vs. Ukrainians that are frequently 1000km away. Also clearly winning gives you a morale boost.

@ABOBA-jh4nx Russians are already in Bakhmut. I expect Russians to take the city in the next few days, depending on how big losses Ukraine wants to sustain. Sure Ukraine can attack Kherson again - they did so like 50 or more times already.
1
@ABOBA-jh4nx there is not enough aviation available in all post Soviet countries to make much of a difference. Russia has best in the world air defenses and 10x bigger air force. There is not much Ukraine can do. They lost the war. Russia will keep on pushing. Ukraine will keep on retreating and taking massive losses. Question is what is 3rd phase???
1
@ABOBA-jh4nx Well, I expect phase 3 to start in September - no idea what Russia will go for, Odessa? Kharkiv? Buffer zone to Dniepr river? But if Russia does not mobilize then this thing is not over by winter - unless Ukraine finally realizes it lost the war.
1
@ABOBA-jh4nx Yes, phase 3. I think Ukraine leadership is similar to Hitler - they will fight to last Ukrainian. So I doubt they agree to peace. Well, we see - world is full of surprises.

@fredbyoutubing US protecting democratic freedom outside of US? Since when, LOL! I like how US went to SA to beg for oil - they sure protect freedom alright ;) I do not agree with Russia taking ethnic territories of Ukraine, but Crimean and Donbass clearly do not want to be under Kiev regime, here Kiev regime is clearly the aggressor and bad guy. It is clear that Russia will have to take more land to make sure that Ukraine, what is left of it, is no longer a viable state & a threat.

@fredbyoutubing I see without any arguments to back your stance you just go for personal attack. Looks like I won the argument.
1
@fredbyoutubing What hate? What propaganda? So you still have no arguments? And what about NATO - it never blamed itself for anything and NATO is US. How many wars did NATO fight? How many millions of people it killed in the last 20 years? Of course solution is for Ukraine to capitulate as there is no point of fighting a war it has lost. Germany did it in 1918. When the war started the Russian proposal was quite fair, Crimea + Donbass i.e. predominantly Russia areas. I am sure to it one could add making Bandera from Hero of Ukraine to Enemy of Ukraine and disbanding all these Nazi units. Ukraine can have its western ties - say EU membership, but being part of NATO or hosting NATO or any dealings with NATO is a no go. I do not see this as outrageous - it is fair. I do not find it amusing that no one can have military base within 1000 miles of US or they get smashed while much more modest Russian need is seen as evil. No one again is talking about absorbing democratic countries or even Ukraine (which I do not consider a democracy) into the fold of Russia. His ambitions are nothing but clear. Imperialism is shown to be that of the west. This is why the reds always said they fighting imperial pigs. You get a grip on reality. Its no longer 1960s. Asia is FREE! They can clearly see the west for who they are. You can no longer tell black or brown or yellow or any other colored people to jump. They refuse to and will resist western ambitions with force of arms, and soon their economic might. The time of western imperialism is over - Asia is coming online as world leader. Also for all this talk about democracy, why you are soooooo against letting people decide their future! Allergic to elections you can loose?

@fredbyoutubing Who cares you "protested" so what - I do not see any change in the actions of NATO or US. Civil war in Ukraine was promoted on one side by US and Russia on the other side. "Russian influenced proxy government" was elected by elections certified by EU and UN. "NATO was invited to help Ukraine because it was threatened by Russia from the start" - no it was not - do you have any source of this? "the west is a "threat". -- sure it is. Remember the colonialism? Remember the influence, do as we say or else? The world is fighting back! All people should have a voice and all people should have the basic right to determine their future. The "west" simply does not understand this.

@DoctorDestyNova i doubt Ukrainians deployed even close to this number. Russians also do not have that many troops deployed. Maybe 40k. They never had more then around 110k deployed. Around 120 BTGs max.
1
@DoctorDestyNova Ukraine probably out numbers the Russians at this very moment. The problem is Russia has super good artillery and some air power. Also Ukrainians in Donbass are demoralized as they are fighting for someone else's home while Donbass Ukrainians are on home ground.

LOL!

Clearly Soviet / Russian doctrine is superior as they are winning the war and have taken vastly less casualties both in man power and equipment. Given at peer victory of Russian Federation, they RF armed forces are now the best trained army on earth and most powerful, when adjusted for numbers.
1
@degreedmeteorologist1658 So given that UA losses are around 3x to 4x losses of Russia and allies you are telling me Ukraine suffered a whopping 300k casualties at minimum? With max of around 500k casualties? That would explain recruitment of children and elderly (above 62) by Ukraine! Yes, I seen 1000s of destroyed Ukrainian vehicles as well. This war shows that Russia has a very good, well trained military able to win at peer conflicts even with a very large enemy such as largest and most powerful land army entirely in Europe! Despite help of all of NATO.
1
@degreedmeteorologist1658 Attacking force looses 2 to 3x when they are same quality and same armaments. Here they are not. This is why Russian losses are so low compared to Ukrainian losses. Besides we know how many troops Russia deployed.
1
@degreedmeteorologist1658 So its not a lie as well about 120k dead Ukrainians and well over 5000 destroyed Ukrainian tanks and other armored vehicles. FYI - you just pointed out that Russia lost more troops and had more casualties then troops deployed!!!! How can Russians do that - I guess... Zombies? How can Ukraine win against Zombies! You cannot kill them for good - they keep coming back!
1
If equal units of say 10k of Russia and US stood tomorrow to fight I have $100 on Russia kicking US very hard. It would not even be close.

@Out-tha-mud- LOL 4th strongest - LOL! Good one. Stringer then India LOL!!!! You joke well.
