At the end of the battle of Bahkmut, Prigozhin let slip the following numbers. Total number of Wagner fighters: 78,000, of which 49,000 were convicts. Casualty figures, just for Wagner, per Prigozhin were 22,000 KIA and 40,000 WIA.
62,000 casualties/78,000 force = 79.5% casualty rate.
A Phyrric victory, if there ever was one. The prewar population of Bakhmut was 70,794

Since every reply here is just made up garbage, its impossible for Chris to know. Here is the truth.
Competitive Eating is a learned behavior. Folks like Joey Chestnut learned how to eat 73 Hot Dogs in 10 minutes. Matt Stonie (has a You Tube channel) also held the world title. They are currently on the Competitive Eating Circuit.
When you ask a Competitive Eater what the secret is, they will tell you. Suppression of the gag reflex. The human body will naturally gag when too much food is introduced. Gagging leads to vomiting, or what is termed "Reversal of Fortune", a disqualification. Suppressing this reflex permits an enormous amount of food to be consumed.
The stomach is next distended by the repetitive consumption of large quantities, permitting even larger quantities of food to be consumed. All of this is learned behavior. The woman fundamentally lied to you.
What the woman was doing, as she was bouncing was to force the food (via gravity) down the esophagus, which helps to eat more quickly. Quickness is a known gag suppression technique. Food stuck in the esophagus causes you to gag.
So if you, Chris, want to learn to be a Competitive Eater, you can.
First, you must swallow. しつれいします

A russian Telegram channel affiliated with Wagner mercenary group reported Prigozhin's death.
"The head of the Wagner Group, a Hero of russia, a true patriot of his Motherland – Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin died as a result of the actions of traitors to russia," a post in the Grey Zone channel said.
"But even in Hell, he will be the best!"
Yeah, the "best"

@diegoflores9237 a message for you, vatnik
Когда кто-то говорит об украинском контрнаступлении, комментируя скорость, направление или эффективность и уверенно заявляет, что что-то «определенно идет не по плану», главное помнить, что перед полномасштабным вторжением в Украину российская армия Армию всерьез называли «второй армией в мире», ее истерически боялись и даже не предполагали, что с ней можно будет эффективно бороться.
Второе, что нужно понять, это то, что человек, который делает этот комментарий, НЕ имеет доступа к плану и, следовательно, не способен оценить, опережает он или отстает.
Got that russian bootlicker??

russia's "best" general. Executed russian doctrine to the letter, complete with artillery barrage and storm z meat wave attacks. Including blocking forces. 79.5% casualty rate. By his own words.
putin killed him
Now putin must rely on the incompetent Gerasimov and the corrupt Shoigu. Cannot rely on all those dead russian generals, now can he?

@kartikeyatiwari2502 Let us examine russia's glorious battlefield accomplishments.
The glorious russian retreat from Kyiv. Such goodwill from russians, actually driven out.
The glorious russian retreat from Snake Island. Such goodwill from russians, actually driven out.
The glorious Moskva cruiser, bravely defending marine life from Ukrainian missiles. Stopping the missiles from landing in the water. Admirable concern for marine life.
The glorious russian retreat from Kharkiv. Such goodwill from russians, actually driven out.
The glorious russian retreat from Lyman. Such goodwill from russians, driven out.
The glorious russian retreat from Kherson. Such goodwill from russia, driven out.
The humiliating russian advance towards Bakmut. A few 100 meters in 4 months. The capture of the tiny town of Soledar, prewar population 10,490. At the cost of 20,000 Wagner dead
At this rate, it will be centuries before russian troops ever see Kyiv.

@elmarco777 : Mark, perhaps you were a direct eyewitness to the ALLEGED event. If so, you should have provided corroborating evidence. Failing that, neither you nor I "knows he did it". When you state "we all know", you are also factually in error. One can easily infer that YOU think he did it. But that clearly doesn't include a very large segment of the population. So we can readily discard the "we all know" and simply change that into "those of us who think we know, which excludes a large segment of the population".
Further, this video speaks to implanted memories, not to suppressed memories or denials. Your comments to those who suggest that Bret Kavanaugh should watch this to help him remember, make it seem that you have failed to grasp the concepts in this TED talk. Not one scintilla of this video speaks to what Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh testified to during Congressional hearings. It does, obviously, speak to what MAY be a factor in Dr. Ford's testimony. I do not know if it was or was not a factor in Dr. Ford's testimony, period. Its merely suggestive of that.
Dr. Loftus (in this video) has found that absent corroborative evidence, eyewitness testimony is not necessarily compelling and factual. We should be cautious of this type of testimony in isolation.
Please note that I didn't call you any names and further, have kept this quite civil. I have an expectation that you will respond in kind.

@OrbitalTrails here is a message for you kitten
Оказывается, в том, чтобы быть фанатом москвича, есть и свои минусы. Должно быть, трудно объяснить неудачу за неудачей. Все время пытаясь не звучать как сумасшедший лжец.
Got that?
Ты еще слышишь крики русских солдаты, когда их ведут на бойню, котёночек? Это все еще преследует тебя во сне, котёночек?
Они уже перестали кричать, котёночек, или ты решил проигнорировать смерть своих крепостных? В России жизнь крепостного стоит всего две копейки.
Вскоре они придут за тобой.
Я буду наслаждаться твоими криками.
сюда котёночек, котёночек
сюда котёночек, котёночек

@championknife Лучше убирайтесь из Украины, пока Москва и Санкт-Петербург не превратились в руины, как Алеппо, Грозный и Мариуполь. Россия должна делать то, что у нее получается лучше всего, убегать от боя
А теперь вернитесь в выгребную яму, известную как Россия, и посчитайте своих цыплят. Притворись, что никто не видит твоей бедности. Притворитесь, что у вас есть релевантность. делать вид, что у россии есть власть.

Formula yielding peak velocity under constant acceleration, when v0 =0 is Vpeak=sqrt(2×A×D). A=0.08 meters/second squared. D = 20,000 meters. Therefore Vpeak=56.568 meters/second. Or 126.53 mph. That's plenty enough speed.
Yet it is the deceleration at the end that kills you, not the speed. For example, 43 earth gravities (Gs) are sufficient to cause your skull to fracture away from your spine (for the curious, basilar skull fracture).
Deceleration is inversely proportional to time. Let us assume it takes two seconds to decelerate from 57 meters/second to 0 meters/second. Deceleration is V/T, yielding 28.5 m/s^2. That's only 2.9 Gs and may be survivable, particularly if you land on your feet.
If, however, we decrease the deceleration time to 0.135 seconds, we get V/T = 422m/s^2. That, of course, yields 43 earth gravities and will result in massive damage to your skeletal system.
Your video glossed over the real cause of injury. It is not the velocity. It is the sudden stop at the end, to wit, deceleration.

@heroicpower3479 have you considered the fact that the Western Alliance, which is providing direct material support to Ukraine, has a combined economy TWENTY TWO times the size of russia's economy?
The russian economy is directly related to petroleum product export,, exports now restricted and sanctioned.
russia also suffers from Dutch Disease. If you do not understand what that is, go look it up.
War is about logistics. Not only firing the weapon but keeping the weapon supplied, so it can shoot over and over again. Do you wonder why russian artillery fires are diminishing, kitten? It is because russia lacks an industrial base to match the West.
Your claim that "russia increased the size of its military budget" is devoid of careful thought. Of course, when a country is at war, a long term war, the military budget expands to keep supplies flowing.
What your analysis lacks is any comparison to the increases in budget of the Western Alliance.

Long time viewer of this channel.
RFU is Ukrainian, and therefore supports his country.
That does not prevent him from honest reporting, honest assessments.
RFU also provides excellent tactical details unavailable elsewhere.
You are, of course, entitled to believe what you want, but I am confident the information is accurate and has good correlation with reality.
And while I have your attention:
"Ukraine Matters". Excellent. Reviews the front lines. Good perspective. Very pro Ukraine without being ridiculous. Highly recommended.
"Reporting from Ukraine" spectacular from a tactics point of view. Puts you right into the trenches.
"military lab". He calls the shots as they are. Nobody is neutral. Military Lab is not, but that does not prevent him from assessing the situation without rose colored glasses.
"Anna from Ukraine" is an authentic Ukrainian voice. She does not provide battlefield analysis. She does report on current events and top level topics, from a Ukrainian woman standpoint. Highly recommended.
"Anders Puck Nielson" provides a great perspective from a strategic level. He is a professor and clearly gets the issues. Explains them well, too!
"Mariia Veshchunova" well written and well delivered. A new channel, unabashedly pro Ukraine. Delivered from Ukraine, by a Ukrainian voice
"Arthur Rehi" provides the viewpoint of an Estonian. Excellent in my view. Former infantry man. Very active in getting equipment into Ukraine.
"Military & History". Torsten carefully examines data from all sides, and demands that claims be supported, not just claimed. Thus, his assessments are conservative and accurate, but not as timely as other, more aggressive channels.
"Jake Broe" reviews the news, from the standpoint of former US military background. Clear. Analytical. Not afraid to call russia out on their lies
"Ryan McBeth" is a great resource. Worth a listen. Long time enlisted military. Debunks russian maskirovka
"Denys Davidov" needs no introduction. A long term, solid voice for Ukraine. Absolutely recommended.
"Operator Starsky" Ukrainian military officer. Good sense of humor. Offers commentary on high level topics.

А теперь вернитесь в выгребную яму, известную как Россия, и посчитайте своих цыплят. Притворись, что никто не видит твоей бедности. Притворитесь, что у вас есть релевантность. делать вид, что у россии есть власть.

@Cad6638 Suppose the Ukrainian estimate is wrong by a factor of 2. Suppose instead of 110,000 cargo 200, it is really only 55,000. That would be in less than 11 months.
russia also invaded Afghanistan, December 1979 and humiliatingly withdrew 10 years later in 1989.
About 15,000 Soviet soldiers were KIA, and about 35,000 were wounded in the invasion. Notice the 3:1 ratio is still not held. 15,000 KIA over 10 years is 1500 per year or about 125/month.
russia's burn rate in Ukraine, even with the factor of 2, is 5000/month. If we accept Ukraine's estimate, it is 110,000 / 11 months = 10,000/month.
Time for another forced conscription. Putin does not care how many russians die, what matters is that he stays in power. For now.
Glory to Ukraine!

@Roger_Gadd Ukraine will force russia out just like the Mujahideen forced them out of Afghanistan. You see, Ukraine doesn't have to win in the traditional sense, they just have to keep fighting until russia decides enough is enough.
In order for russia to win the war, russia needs roughly a 3:1 advantage in troop numbers. The Ukrainian Army is estimated to be ~700K, therefore, russia needs to attack with 2.1 million troops. russia has nowhere near those number of troopers, so russia can never conquer Ukraine.
Should russia miraculously conquer Ukraine, the occupation begins. Occupation is the hard part, conquering is the easy part. Conquering is the part russia seems incapable of achieving but that's the easy part. Occupation. For a docile population, such as russian sheep, military science indicates 20 troops per 1000 civilian population. With the population of Ukraine at 44 million, russia needs to occupy with 880,000 troopers. russia doesn't have those numbers. Not even close.
For a restive population, with partisan activity, such as the people of Ukraine, the military science of occupation dictates 75 troopers per 1000 of population in occupation. For a Ukrainian population of 44 million, the reality is that russia would need to field 3,300,000 troops to occupy Ukraine. For 20 years. russia has nowhere close to those numbers.
russia cannot conquer Ukraine due to insufficient numbers and russia cannot occupy Ukraine due to insufficient numbers, consequently the war will grind on and on for russia. With the concomitant casualties inherent for the attacker.
russia has lost. The fighting may not be over, but russia has lost. Never had the numbers. Never will.

For a Ukrainian population of 44 million, the REALITY is that russia would need to field 3,300,000 troops to occupy Ukraine. russia has nowhere close to those numbers. Further, it must be generational, so 3.3M troops for a generation or 20 years. russia simply doesn't have the stamina

@jokorosich3545 Let us examine russia's glorious battlefield accomplishments.
The glorious russian retreat from Kyiv. Such goodwill from russians, actually driven out.
The glorious russian retreat from Snake Island. Such goodwill from russians, actually driven out.
The glorious Moskva cruiser, bravely defending marine life from Ukrainian missiles. Stopping the missiles from landing in the water. Admirable concern for marine life.
The glorious russian retreat from Kharkiv. Such goodwill from russians, actually driven out.
The glorious russian retreat from Lyman. Such goodwill from russians, driven out.
The glorious russian retreat from Kherson. Such goodwill from russia, driven out.
The humiliating russian advance towards Bakmut. 29 kilometers in a YEAR! A phyrric victory only exceeded by the capture of the tiny town of Soledar, prewar population 10,490. At the cost of 20,000 Wagner dead
At this rate, it will be centuries before russian troops ever see Kyiv.

@abdullahiolownunow1235 Правда — это горькая пилюля, которую русские должны проглотить. Ваша пропаганда питается мифами и фантазиями, что делает ваш разум пустым.
Лучше убирайтесь из Украины, пока Москва и Санкт-Петербург не превратились в руины, как Алеппо, Грозный и Мариуполь. Россия должна делать то, что у нее получается лучше всего, убегать от боя.
А теперь вернитесь в выгребную яму, известную как Россия, и посчитайте своих цыплят. Притворись, что никто не видит твоей бедности. Притворитесь, что у вас есть релевантность. делать вид, что у россии есть власть.

@Cad6638 no sir, we are not. The tally is not "casualties" in the Western sense of KIA and WIA summed. The tally published is for KIA only and specifically does not include WIA.
The tally includes troops from the LPR, DPR, Chechens, Wagner, etc. The Ukrainians aren't sorting them by category of who is fighting for the russians. If the trooper is fighting for russia, that counts.
I will suggest that the ratio of 3:1 of WIA to KIA recognizes proper medevac. The russians do not offer Western style medevac. This drives the WIA numbers down and frankly, the KIA numbers up. A wounded trooper who does not receive treatment dies.
Further, the figure of 900K quoted above is for all units and not the number of regular russian army, which is far smaller. Additionally, russia cannot strip every soldier from every location other than Ukraine, just to send them to die in Ukraine. russia has commitments in Syria, for example, and also must maintain forces in the far east.
Western estimates, supported by satellite surveillance, showed that russia invaded with 190,000 troops, with a large portion of that being Rosgvardia packing parade uniforms.

@johnallen6945 you are quite welcome John.
There are further points of interest.
Let us start with force concentration. The analysis you provided above suggests that the forces are uniformly distributed. In general, the analysis is true, a 3:1 advantage is required. In specific, it is where the force is applied that is of interest. Focusing 10,000 troops against one kilometee, against 10,000 spread out over 100 kilometers is going to be well in excess of 3:1
Yet we can use the ratio to suggest russia never had the numbers to invade. Russia invaded with 190,000. If we add in Wagner, LPR, DPR, Chechens and Wagner, we get north of 300K, but certainly less than 400K. They faced a Ukrainian Army estimated to be, at the time 200K. This is less than the 3:1 ratio.
Winning the fight is one thing. Occupying the ground is another. You have to hold the ground and suppress resistance. Nominally, that is 20 troopers per 1000 population. This means russia needed 880,000 troops to occupy Ukraine. They never gad that number. Further, that is for a passive population. A restive population, which engages in partisan activities (ahem, Ukrainians are actively engaging in this now, in occupied territories) requires ~75 per 1000. This implies a russian force of 3,300,000.
Never had the numbers

Its only in the last century and a half that weapons have progressed from
'single shot, low rate of fire weapons'
to
'multishot, semi/fully automatic weapons'.
There have been nut jobs from time immemorial, yet now they have better tools to create mayhem.
Its only in the past few decades that news went from highly filtered, selective reporting to an absurd torrent of information. There aren't more nut jobs, there's just better reporting.
The nut jobs now have a stage. These acts are celebrated by their adherents, published by the media and amplified by the internet.
That combination has produced the current state of affairs. They have the tools and stage, mayhem is the result. Of course the internet can be a positive. I am not blaming the spread of information, be it positive or negative. Information is critical to reasoned thought.
Yet I can think of no valid reason for a civilian to have any full or semi automatic weapon, nor to have high capacity magazines. Why, for heavens sake, is it legal for a civilian to own a Thompson* sub-machine gun in this country? What possible pretense is valid?
I do support the rights of those who wish to enjoy responsible and legal gun ownership. Have a low capacity, low rate of fire weapon, if that floats your boat. What civilian needs a howitzer? What civilian needs a Thompson or any other jumble of letters and numbers, code for high capacity, high rate of fire?

@bigboy9693 You know how to win wars Dmitry? Logistics and raw economic power, industrial output wins wars, not sending cruise missiles into apartment buildings.
The West has sent a bunch of HIMARS launchers and innumerable GMLRS munitions to fire from them.
How many HIMARS launchers will Ukraine require to win? 32, but that's not how many Ukraine will use. They will use more. Lots more. Russia hasn't been able to succesfully target one launcher, but the West will continue to supply new launchers. Good luck with that Dmitry.
It is not the quantity of launchers that is important, it is the quantity of missiles. The next NDAA 2023 includes 106,000 GMLRS missiles in the authorization. Open wide! Learn how to swallow russia.
GLSDB are now authorized, as well as Western tanks. Are you feeling lucky russia?
How long until jets? ATACMS? Kerch Strait bridge go boom.
How long will Victory take? Western resolve, Ukrainian resolve is for the long haul. Who cares how long it takes. 1 year, 5 years, 20 years? It does not matter. russia will be driven out of Ukraine. 115,00 russian dead so far. That is in 11 months, roughly 11.5K/month. At this rate, russia will incur 690,000 cargo 200 in 5 years. Makes me smile! 🙂
Remember that bit about economic power winning wars? russian GDP is ~1.8T USD. The countries supplying Ukraine have a combined GDP of 40T USD. Long term war is completely about logistics. Not firing the gun once, but firing over and over, but most importantly keeping it supplied. The economic advantage of the West to russia is 40 to 1.8 or a 22:1 advantage. If all things remain the same, russia has a 22:1 shortfall.
But things aren't going to remain the same. Dear leader putin cut off European gas (meaning no income from Europe). Europe put a price cap on russian oil (meaning no profit from Europe). So go ahead russia, try to sell your shite elsewhere. Watch the Chinese and Indians negotiate russia on price into a hole. Which they have. The cap is $60, current trading in Ural Crude is ~$50/barrel. So the russian petro-economy will slowly implode, making the 22:1 economic ratio even steeper.
The sanctions continue to constrict the russian economy. Even the russian central bank is declaring that the russian economy is shrinking. The state bank lies of course, the russian economy is collapsing.

@graemepeters5717 the only thing you have displayed is your willful ignorance and utter disregard for the truth. The purest definition of a russian troll is a liar, that when confronted by their lies, use the "nuh-uh" defense, or to switch the topic. russia hasn't won a battle in 8 months. EIGHT MONTHS of russian ineptitude. Western weapons are pouring in to Ukraine, and your best response is "oops, ....". What kind of mindless twit are you? A russian one.
300,000 conscripted additional soldiers, and the best russia can claim is Soledar, pre war population 10,490. Inept.
Oops? It will be hysterically funny watching you explain the next russian failure. Where will the next 'good will' gesture be, er, flagrant military failure.
Solovyov is threatening Europe. russia cannot even handle Ukraine and russia wants to take on NATO. How ridiculous. russia cannot advance against Ukraine with the handmedowm kit provided. Soon, they will have much better kit, western tanks, western jets, ATACMS. Kerch Strait Bridge go boom.

@LD-pt5ur Another tiny nuclear threat from a tiny russian troll.
There are 36 nuclear power plants in the sh♤thole known as russia. The precise coordinates of each of russia's NPP are extremely well known.
For example, the Калининская АЭС is located at 57.903247N, 35.056095E. This is, of course, a mere 200 km from the capital of the sh♤thole known as russia, to wit: moscow.
It would be a pity if a warhead went off course and burst on the ground at the Калининская АЭС. A nuclear burst creates a tremendous updraft of super heated air, sucking everything up and into the atmosphere. But since that burst would be on the ground at a NPP, the reactor will become atomized and join the updraft. Fallout will occur, containing the radioactive particles from the reactor. Salting the russian capital with radionuclides to last 500,000 years. Pity that.
The best part? russia cannot stop a HIMARS strike, how will russia ever stop a Trident II-D5 strike? From a russian perspective, a Trident II-D5 strike is UNSTOPPABLE. russia just gets to swallow it.
Would you like to know where the other 35 NPP are, Dmitry? Each NPP will be accidentally struck dead center, in the most amazing string of bad luck and coincidence. 3 warheads allocated for each. Accidentally, of course. Not only will russia be destroyed, but there never will be any population in russia, ever again. Radiation poisoning from the fallout will kill any and all survivors of the blasts.
36 × 3 = 108 war heads
If the sh♤thole wants to commit suicide, they are welcome to try.
The US maintains 14 Ohio class submarines. Each submarine has 24 launch tubes. Each tube contains a Trident II-D5 missile. Each missile contains 14 independently targetable warheads. Each warhead has a selectable yield of up to 475,000 tons. For reference, Hiroshima was 13,000 tons.
So 14 submarines × 24 missiles × 14 warheads = 4704 warheads. 4704 warheads, each one more than 36 times more powerful than Hiroshima.
So go ahead Dmitry, make your petty threats again.

@jamesgornall5731 Here is some military science for a russian troll. In order for russia to win the war, russia needs roughly a 3:1 advantage in troop numbers. The Ukrainian Army is estimated to be ~700K, therefore, russia needs to attack with 2.1 million troops. russia has nowhere near those number of troopers, so russia can never conquer Ukraine.
Should russia miraculously conquer Ukraine, the occupation begins. Occupation is the hard part, conquering is the easy part. Conquering is the part russia seems incapable of achieving but that's the easy part.
Occupation. For a docile population, such as russian sheep, military science indicates 20 troops per 1000 civilian population. With the population of Ukraine at 44 million, russia would need to occupy with 880,000 troopers IF THE POPULATION WAS DOCILE.
For a restive population, with partisan activity, such as the people of Ukraine, the military science of occupation dictates 75 troopers per 1000 of population in occupation. For a Ukrainian population of 44 million, the REALITY is that russia would need to field 3,300,000 troops to occupy Ukraine. russia has nowhere close to those numbers. Further, it must be generational, so 3.3M troops for a generation or 20 years. russia simply doesn't have the stamina
russia cannot conquer Ukraine due to insufficient numbers and russia cannot occupy Ukraine due to insufficient numbers, consequently the war will grind on and on for russia. With the concomitant casualties inherent for the attacker.
russia has lost. The fighting may not be over, but russia has lost. Never had the numbers. Never will.
Got that Moskal?

@hugostiglitz8263 You know how to win wars Dmitry? Logistics and raw economic power, industrial output wins wars, not sending cruise missiles into apartment buildings.
The West has sent a bunch of HIMARS launchers and innumerable GMLRS munitions to fire from them.
How many HIMARS launchers will Ukraine require to win? 32, but that's not how many Ukraine will use. They will use more. Lots more. Russia hasn't been able to succesfully target one launcher, but the West will continue to supply new launchers. Good luck with that Dmitry.
It is not the quantity of launchers that is important, it is the quantity of missiles. The next NDAA 2023 includes 106,000 GMLRS missiles in the authorization. Open wide! Learn how to swallow russia.
GLSDB are now authorized, as well as Western tanks. Are you feeling lucky russia?
How long until jets? ATACMS? Kerch Strait bridge go boom.
How long will Victory take? Western resolve, Ukrainian resolve is for the long haul. Who cares how long it takes. 1 year, 5 years, 20 years? It does not matter. russia will be driven out of Ukraine. 115,00 russian dead so far. That is in 11 months, roughly 11.5K/month. At this rate, russia will incur 690,000 cargo 200 in 5 years. Makes me smile! 🙂
Remember that bit about economic power winning wars? russian GDP is ~1.8T USD. The countries supplying Ukraine have a combined GDP of 40T USD. Long term war is completely about logistics. Not firing the gun once, but firing over and over, but most importantly keeping it supplied. The economic advantage of the West to russia is 40 to 1.8 or a 22:1 advantage. If all things remain the same, russia has a 22:1 shortfall.
But things aren't going to remain the same. Dear leader putin cut off European gas (meaning no income from Europe). Europe put a price cap on russian oil (meaning no profit from Europe). So go ahead russia, try to sell your shite elsewhere. Watch the Chinese and Indians negotiate russia on price into a hole. Which they have. The cap is $60, current trading in Ural Crude is ~$50/barrel. So the russian petro-economy will slowly implode, making the 22:1 economic ratio even steeper.
The sanctions continue to constrict the russian economy. Even the russian central bank is declaring that the russian economy is shrinking. The state bank lies of course, the russian economy is collapsing.

@hugostiglitz8263 How can we be informed that russia is losing the war? Comments by idiotic russian trolls about a negotiated settlement. On the news TODAY, Lukashenka is bleating for a ceasefire. If the russians are doing so well, why do they want to negotiate so hard? No need for that if you can achieve outright victory.
Isn't that right Dmitry?
But russia hasn't achieved victory. russia hasn't achieved ANYTHING of any merit in months. Instead, russian trolls bleat for a negotiated settlement.
russia has lost the war. It will grind on and on.
How long will Victory take? Western resolve, Ukrainian resolve is for the long haul. Who cares how long it takes. 1 year, 5 years, 20 years? It does not matter. russia will be driven out of Ukraine. 135,00 russian dead so far. That is in 12 months, roughly 11.25K/month. At this rate, russia will incur 675,000 cargo 200 in 5 years. Makes me smile! 🙂

@Mickey-im3bg you will be expected to speak in russian after licking russian boots.
Правда — это горькая пилюля, которую русские должны проглотить. Ваша пропаганда питается мифами и фантазиями, что делает ваш разум пустым.
Лучше убирайтесь из Украины, пока Москва и Санкт-Петербург не превратились в руины, как Алеппо, Грозный и Мариуполь. Россия должна делать то, что у нее получается лучше всего, убегать от боя.
А теперь вернитесь в выгребную яму, известную как Россия, и посчитайте своих цыплят. Притворись, что никто не видит твоей бедности. Притворитесь, что у вас есть релевантность. делать вид, что у россии есть власть.

Putin Boasts of Being Able to Take Kiev in 2 weeks.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 6:21 PM EDT
Reports emerged Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin said he could take control of Ukraine’s capital city in as little as two weeks, a remark that escalated already pitched tensions between Russia and the West in the lead-up to NATO’s summit in Wales.
÷÷÷÷
It is important to note the date, mere months after russian occupation of Crimea. putin was on top of the world, Crimea and Donbas in exchange for some minor sanctions. He felt unstoppable and free to speak his mind. And so putin did speak his mind, without subterfuge or restraint, Ukraine will be taken two weeks. His innermost thoughts, revealed.
÷÷÷÷
Solovyov is on russian television, January 2022, blithely stating that Kyiv will be taken in three days
Nothing on russian television is said without government direction.
"In a hot war, we will defeat Ukraine in two days," claimed propagandist Margarita Simonyan on air in February, 2021
Anton Gerashchenko made a compilation video of russian propagandists, speaking on Rossiya 1, spouting nonsense about conquering Ukraine in a brief period of time. Gerashchenko released this on 20 April 2023, at 7:25AM. The tweet starts off with "russian propagandists complain about global misinformation".
It isn't misinformation when the talking heads say it directly into the camera, with explicit government direction, on a russian government owned news channel.
Isn't that right vatnik? Nothing is said or Rossiya 1 without government direction and approval.

@XopBaTZ в следующий раз предоставьте свою иррациональную оценку войны на русском языке. Таким образом, люди смогут увидеть вашу двусмысленную ложь об Украине такой, какая она есть.
By the way, how presumptuous of you to assume anything about me
Let us examine putin's war goals and evaluate how russia is doing
1) putin Goal: Push NATO back from the sh♤thole known as russia's borders. Evaluation: Finland joins NATO, border EXTENDED by 1,340 km. putin fails to achieve his goal.
2) putin Goal: replace President Zelenskyy with a puppet. Evaluation: russia humiliating retreat from Kyiv, no chance to replace President Zelenskyy. putin fails to achieve his goal.
3) putin Goal: demilitarize Ukraine, weaken its military. Evaluation: Ukraine’s armed forces increased from about 250,000 personnel before the war to 700,000 personnel and are now equipped with advanced Western weapons. The sh♡thole known as russia has no answer to HIMARS. Ukraine is far stronger today than anytime in the past. putin fails to achieve his goal.
4) putin Goal: De-nazify Ukraine. Evaluation: The only nazi in Ukraine are russians. If the sh♤thole wants to denazify Ukraine, they can achieve that by leaving.
5) putin Goal: Conquer Ukraine, annex all its lands. Evaluation: sh♤thole russian troops have taken Soledar, population 10,490. In fact, russians humiliating retreat near Kharkiv was followed by the laughable retreat near Kherson.
6) putin goal: preserve the russian language in Ukraine, stating that the russian language was being oppressed by Ukraine. Firstly, that's a demonstrably false accusation. Ukraine was not oppressing the language. Yet since the russian war, the invasion of Ukraine, the population of Ukraine is going out of their way to speak only Ukrainian. russian is not oppressed. Simply put, nobody wants to speak the language of invaders. Complete putin fail, achieves the opposite of his goal.

@BetyarPali Let us examine russia's glorious battlefield accomplishments.
The glorious russian retreat from Kyiv. Such goodwill from russians, actually driven out.
The glorious russian retreat from Snake Island. Such goodwill from russians, actually driven out.
The glorious Moskva cruiser, bravely defending marine life from Ukrainian missiles. Stopping the missiles from landing in the water. Admirable concern for marine life.
The glorious russian retreat from Kharkiv. Such goodwill from russians, actually driven out.
The glorious russian retreat from Lyman. Such goodwill from russians, driven out.
The glorious russian retreat from Kherson. Such goodwill from russia, driven out.
The humiliating russian advance towards Bakmut. A few 100 meters in 4 months. The capture of the tiny town of Soledar, prewar population 10,490. At the cost of 20,000 Wagner dead
At this rate, it will be centuries before russian troops ever see Kyiv.

Why does RfU not report Ukrainian loses? There are none to report now, because the regular russian army has not advanced since july 2022, more than one year ago.
Wagner and Prigozhin did take Bahkmut in the past year. At the end of the battle of Bahkmut, Prigozhin let slip the following numbers. Total number of Wagner fighters: 78,000, of which 49,000 were convicts. Casualty figures, just for Wagner, per Prigozhin were 22,000 KIA and 40,000 WIA.
62,000 casualties/78,000 force = 79.5% casualty rate.
That was russia's best general.
The current russian thrust to Kupyansk has culminated, without even taking the small village of Synkivka.
Forget major cities such as Kyiv, Kharkiv or Kherson. Cannot seem to hold Klishchiivka. Now, not even Synkivka can be taken, pre war population 389.
The regular russian army is spent

@frankbandera6591 you are worried about Bandera. Do you know who else was in power then?
Stalin. How many excess deaths in the CCCP occur in the CCCP because of Stalin?
Prior to the dissolution of the CCCP and the archival revelations, some historians estimated that the numbers killed by Stalin's regime were 20 million or higher. After the Soviet Union dissolved, evidence from the Soviet archives was declassified and researchers were allowed to study it. This contained official records of 799,455 executions (1921–1953),around 1.7 million deaths in the Gulag, some 390,000 deaths during the dekulakization forced resettlement, and up to 400,000 deaths of persons deported during the 1940s,with a total of about 3.3 million officially recorded victims in these categories. According to historian Stephen Wheatcroft, approximately 1 million of these deaths were "purposive" while the rest happened through neglect and irresponsibility.
The deaths of at least 5.5 to 6.5 million persons in the Soviet famine of 1932–1933 , HOLODOMOR, are directly laid at the footsteps of your genocidal leadership.

@frankbandera6591 what russia, russian trolls and simpletons like you seem to forget is that missiles can fly both ways.
Another tiny nuclear threat from a tiny russian troll. That's you little frankie
There are 36 nuclear power plants in the sh♤thole known as russia. The precise coordinates of each of russia's NPP are extremely well known.
For example, the Калининская АЭС is located at 57.903247N, 35.056095E. This is, of course, a mere 200 km from the capital of the sh♤thole known as russia, to wit: moscow.
It would be a pity if a warhead went off course and burst on the ground at the Калининская АЭС. A nuclear burst creates a tremendous updraft of super heated air, sucking everything up and into the atmosphere. But since that burst would be on the ground at a NPP, the reactor will become atomized and join the updraft. Fallout will occur, containing the radioactive particles from the reactor. Salting the russian capital with radionuclides to last 500,000 years. Pity that.
The best part? russia cannot stop a HIMARS strike, how will russia ever stop a Trident II-D5 strike? From a russian perspective, a Trident II-D5 strike is UNSTOPPABLE. russia just gets to swallow it.
Would you like to know where the other 35 NPP are? Each NPP will be accidentally struck dead center, in the most amazing string of bad luck and coincidence. 3 warheads allocated for each. Accidentally, of course. Not only will russia be destroyed, but there never will be any population in russia, ever again. Radiation poisoning from the fallout will kill any and all survivors of the blasts.
36 × 3 = 108 war heads
the sh♤thole wants to commit suicide, they are welcome to try.
The US maintains 14 Ohio class submarines. Each submarine has 24 launch tubes. Each tube contains a Trident II-D5 missile. Each missile contains 14 independently targetable warheads. Each warhead has a selectable yield of up to 475,000 tons. For reference, Hiroshima was 13,000 tons.
So 14 submarines × 24 missiles × 14 warheads = 4704 warheads. 4704 warheads, each one more than 36 times more powerful than Hiroshima.
With 108 warheads allocated for the sh♤thole's 36 NPP, I wonder where we will send the remaining 4596 warheads. 🤔
So go ahead russian troll, make your petty threats again.

russian casualties: 269,700
NATO casualties: 0
You mention NATO and NATO weapons, as an excuse why russia is losing. Maybe russia can turn to its allies to make up the 22:1 shortfall in economic power, just as Ukraine turned to Ukraine's allies.
War is about logistics. Not only firing the weapon but keeping the weapon supplied, so it can shoot over and over again. Do you wonder why russian artillery fires are diminishing, kitten? It is because russia lacks an industrial base to match the West. The combined economies of the West are 22 times that of russia, prewar. russia's economy is based on petroleum exports, exports now restricted and sanctioned.
How long will Ukrainian Victory take? Western resolve, Ukrainian resolve is for the long haul. Who cares how long it takes. 1 year, 5 years, 20 years? It does not matter. Who cares how many russians 🌻 in their invasion of a peaceful neighbor. Frankly, I would like 100% of russian invaders to 🌻.
russia will be driven out of Ukraine.

@andersjjensen Hello Anders. My assessment is that Mariia does have a good presentation, full of useful information. I do indeed watch Mariia, Georgi, Artur, Jake Broe, Anna, etc. I support Ukraine, and just two days ago, wrote to my Senators and the President demanding "Arms for Ukraine, NOW". That is, I am not only active here, but also in attempting to influence US Political figures.
Mariia has a small channel, but she is a genuine Ukrainian voice, broadcasting from within Ukraine.
These messages are her way of advertising her channel. Further, her followers, of which I am one, will point out that her channel is good. Because it actually is. Does that make me a bot?
We need all the voices from Ukraine we can get. Jake Broe may not appeal to everyone. Perhaps folks don't like Georgi. It is possible, you know. So maybe Mariia meets the demographic that person needs to relate.
I would ask you to not call Mariia a bot, because she is not a bot. When you listen to her channel, you will find that the writing you see here is very similar to the announcing there. Erudite English, albeit with a Ukrainian accent!
Thanks for reading this.

@NightSpark115 Of course, my comment is a scandalous joke. In the video, accessories were mentioned as a gift. Women love fine jewelry (diamonds, emeralds, rubies, gold). One joke is that women are so grateful to get this, they stop talking. (Diamonds, that'll shut her up). Another is that I have something very, very big. Most people think it must be a penis, but indeed, the one thing every sensible woman wants is a man who can buy her things. Therefore, the joke is I have something very big, which women really want, a big wallet or place to hold money. Scandalous indeed!!
The questions in the video are suitable for teenage girls or young women. They want silly things, like he must have a certain color hair or wear a certain kind of clothes. Or work in a coffee shop, meaning he is impoverished. That is nonsense. An adult woman wants a kind, caring, funny man who can support her and her children. He must have a way to pay for it. If I get 0 questions out of 26, but have enough money, the line of women will form at my door.

@AndreyUfa7 Here is some military science for a russian troll. In order for russia to win the war, russia needs roughly a 3:1 advantage in troop numbers. The Ukrainian Army is estimated to be ~700K, therefore, russia needs to attack with 2.1 million troops. russia has nowhere near those number of troopers, so russia can never conquer Ukraine.
Should russia miraculously conquer Ukraine, the occupation begins. Occupation is the hard part, conquering is the easy part. Conquering is the part russia seems incapable of achieving but that's the easy part.
Occupation. For a docile population, such as russian sheep, military science indicates 20 troops per 1000 civilian population. With the population of Ukraine at 44 million, russia would need to occupy with 880,000 troopers IF THE POPULATION WAS DOCILE.
For a restive population, with partisan activity, such as the people of Ukraine, the military science of occupation dictates 75 troopers per 1000 of population in occupation. For a Ukrainian population of 44 million, the REALITY is that russia would need to field 3,300,000 troops to occupy Ukraine. russia has nowhere close to those numbers. Further, it must be generational, so 3.3M troops for a generation or 20 years. russia simply doesn't have the stamina
russia cannot conquer Ukraine due to insufficient numbers and russia cannot occupy Ukraine due to insufficient numbers, consequently the war will grind on and on for russia. With the concomitant casualties inherent for the attacker.
russia has lost. The fighting may not be over, but russia has lost. Never had the numbers. Never will.
Got that Moskal?

@chrisdavis4230 Hi Chris. Let us Assume you shot straight up. Here on Earth, the bullet eventually slows to a stop due to gravity and air resistance. It then tumbles to the earth from that height, under a constant acceleration regime, until terminal velocity due to air resistance for the projectile is reached.
On Miranda, there is no atmosphere. The projectile is only slowed by gravity. Let us assume that the projectile never reaches escape velocity. At some point, then, the projectile comes to a stop. The height above the surface is the initial 20Km plus the displacement over the projectiles travel. Let us further assume it took an additional 30Km to decelerate to zero.
So at 50Km above the surface, we begin to fall towards the surface, under a constant 0.08m/s^2 regime. Vpeak = sqrt(2×A×D) ao we have Vpeak = sqrt(2×.08×50,000) 89.44 meters per second instead of 56.5685 m/s for the 20 Km fall. As there is no atmosphere, there is no terminal velocity.
Once we achieve escape velicity, orbital mechanics apply, and I think, not really your question.

@MikeAG333 Hi Mike. I will attempt to clear it up.
YouTube can and will demonitize creators, such as The Russian Dude, when youTube receives complaints from viewers. It is apparent, to even the most casual of observers, that the russian bots are submitting complaints, because these creators conflict with the russian propaganda. Can't have that, so by complaining about a youTuber, they get that person demonitized. If a person gets demonitized, they may get discouraged and stop producing videos. And be silenced.
Hopefully, that was clear.
Now Officer Starsky, an active military intelligence officer in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, is seeking individuals who have experienced this, to counter the russian effort. Ukraine is fighting in the information space, with words, as well as in the field, with guns. Officer Starsky is continuing that battle, with this request. He wants the world to see their bullspit.

@krotemitschield Let us examine putin's war goals and evaluate how russia is doing
1) putin Goal: Push NATO back from the sh♤thole known as russia's borders. Evaluation: Finland joins NATO, border EXTENDED by 1,340 km. putin fails to achieve his goal.
2) putin Goal: replace President Zelenskyy with a puppet. Evaluation: russia humiliating retreat from Kyiv, no chance to replace President Zelenskyy. putin fails to achieve his goal.
3) putin Goal: demilitarize Ukraine, weaken its military. Evaluation: Ukraine’s armed forces increased from about 250,000 personnel before the war to 700,000 personnel and are now equipped with advanced Western weapons. The sh♡thole known as russia has no answer to HIMARS. Tanks are on their way. GLSDB authorized. How much longer until jets and ATACMS? Ukraine is far stronger today than anytime in the past. putin fails to achieve his goal.
4) putin Goal: De-nazify Ukraine. Evaluation: The only nazi in Ukraine are russians. If the sh♤thole wants to denazify Ukraine, they can achieve that by leaving.
5) putin Goal: Conquer Ukraine, annex all its lands. Evaluation: In fact, russians humiliating retreat near Kharkiv was followed by the laughable retreat near Kherson. russia finally did achieve a great victory and captured Soledar, prewar population 10,490. russia only incurred 20,000 casualties to win this great victory, but those were Wagner. russian military cannot even achieve that.
6) putin goal: preserve the russian language in Ukraine, stating that the russian language was being oppressed by Ukraine. Firstly, that's a demonstrably false accusation. Ukraine was not oppressing the language. Yet since the russian war, the invasion of Ukraine, the population of Ukraine is going out of their way to speak only Ukrainian. russian is not oppressed. Simply put, nobody wants to speak the language of invaders. Complete putin fail, achieves the opposite of his goal.

@1pcfred Regardless???? You make wild, unsupported assertions about naval gunfire. When confronted with evidence, you try to change the topic. Regardless? Nay sir, naval gunfire was called in on panzer sorties, and as was effective. Further, although there were 58 German divisions guarding the Atlantic, they were spread out over a 2000 mile coastline. I will grant you this point. Had Germany massed its panzers and divisions at Omaha, to oppose the landing, they would have had a better go of it. But they didn't, because they weren't prescient. No idea where the Allies were coming, until the Allies were ashore. Yes, the various German positions fought valiantly. But they lost. Badly. Because they were overwhelming outnumbered, out gunned and paper thin. They didn't stop the beachhead, they couldn't stop its extension, nor its breakout. To claim that Germany would have cut the Allies to ribbons if the Americans had lost is disingenuous. Americans did not lose. The Axis lost. A second front was established. And it was the German forces cut to ribbons and driven right back to Berlin.

@1pcfred Captain Kirkland’s Destroyers at Normandy, published by the NHF a quarter-century ago to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the invasion of Normandy. As then NHF president Adm. James Holloway wrote in the foreword:
The landings in Normandy and the defeat of the German army were the Army’s tasks and clearly among its finest hours. Nevertheless, the military victory could not have happened without the naval forces to move the armies across the Channel, to put the troops ashore on the assault beaches, and then to provide the naval gunfire that, with close air support, enabled the assault forces to break out of the beachhead.
Kirkland’s booklet focused on the nine destroyers of Destroyer Squadron 18 as well as three of their British counterparts that arguably played a pivotal in knocking out German fortifications. Drawing on primary sources such as deck logs, war diaries, and accounts from Sailors embarked on the destroyers and soldiers who benefitted from the gunfire support, Kirkland’s 84-page monograph has become an outstanding secondary source resource for more recent historians such as Craig Symonds who used it in his recent Operation Neptune documenting the naval portion of the Normandy invasion.
What jumps out in Destroyers at Normandy is intimate relationship between the soldiers of the “Big Red One” and 29th Infantry Divisions having the brutal task of securing a beachhead ashore and the Navy’s “Tin Cans” that steamed right up to the surf line. Kirkland asserts this joint teamwork enabled the Americans to prevail. In his narrative, Kirkland describes three concurrent engagements where to the west, the assault of Pointe du Hoc by the 2nd and 5th Ranger Battalions received support from the destroyers Satterlee and Thompson. East of those cliffs, Carmick and McCook supported landings by the 115th and 116th Regimental Combat Teams and the 29th Infantry Division. Landings on the eastern beaches of Omaha by the 1st Infantry Division were backed up by the Emmons, Baldwin, Harding, Doyle, and Frankford. As Kirkland writes:
The sequence of all three engagements followed a similar pattern: minesweeping, debarkation from transports, prelanding bombardment, and assault landings in three successive waves. After the assault waves went ashore, the destroyers fired at targets of opportunity to help the infantry break out of the landing beaches. Call fire, directed by fire control parties ashore, led to the final clearing of the landing beaches allowing armor and transport move inland. The progress of each phase of the action was quite different; none followed the prepared script.
By moving so close in, the captains of the individual destroyers exposed their crews to great risks. Indeed, a mine claimed Corry before the first Soldiers were able to hit the beach. Overall after three days fighting would cost the Navy two additional destroyers, a destroyer escort, a troopship, and numerous amphibious craft. Army casualties at nearly 3,000 were horrific. As we commemorate the 75th anniversary of Operation Overload, Captain Kirkland’s book is well worth a read to reflect on service and sacrifice of both those who served in the Navy as well as the Army during this momentous event.

@mikemcgregor7829 do you think your febrile arguments will stop the defeat of russia or create doubt in Western Allies.
Blyat. Splyat. The regular russian army has not advanced since July 2022. Your russian milbloggers repeat that russian forces no longer have artillery dominance.
Don't believe me vatnik? That is precisely what russian General Popov was dismissed for. Complaining that Ukrainian counterbattery fire was dominant and russian counter battery fire was weak.
Speaking of russian Generals
General Surovikin, removed from power by the dwarf tsar putin, for supporting Prigozhin.
General Popov, removed from power by the dwarf tsar putin, for telling the truth about futile russian counterbattery fires. Hysterically, around Robotyne.
General Gennady Zhidko, died in moscow.
General Gennady Lopyrev, died in prison.
General Andrei Aleksandrovich Sukhovetsky, killed in Ukraine.
Warlord Prigozhin. Executed by the dwarf tsar putin.
General Vladimir Petrovich Frolov, killed in Ukraine.
General Andrei Dmitrievich Simonov, killed in Ukraine.
General Kanamat Khuseevich Botashev, killed in Ukraine.
