  1. Anders should comment about what Russia is doing now on the Avdivka front instead of what Russia would do when Ukraine gets more wonder weapons.

  2.  @fdllicks  "how does a desperate , losing side act?" You are talking about the Ukranians right ? They are the losing side, losing daily more land and people and totally dependent on the US. Perhaps it was a typing mistake 'I imagine all these events repeating with Putin, 2025. we will see!' You meant to say Zelensky.

  3.  @cloudpoint0  If the Russians had not achieved anything, why is everyone saying Ukraine is being nailed because the US did not give money ? Russia has taken Avdivka and now in the Avdeevka sector, it is in hot pursuit. Ukrainians are deserting and surrendering. Get it ?

  4.  @cloudpoint0  What Russia is taking now they are consolidating so Ukraine can never regain it. At the start of the war, they advanced too fast with not enough troops, but they learnt from that mistake. Take and consolidate. And repeat. Once you get the advantage, don't give the other side chance to breathe. That is the situation now. The Ukrainians cannot repeat 2022 because they have been degraded. Just like the Nazis could not regain the initiative from the Red Army after Stalingrad.

  5. And Russia will win the long game as you do not have the capacity for the long game. That is clear from the failure of the sanctions and shortage of weapons. As Putin said we are not going to go for negotiations just because you ran out of weapons.

  6.  @eliotness4029  Ukraine and Baltics etc. became independent, because Russia showed goodwill. However, if these countries gang up against Russia, and allow the US to threaten Russia, Russia will end their independence. Lithuania tried to misbehave with Russia by blockading Kaliningrad. It was being provocative. A Russian deputy then said that Lithuania's independence needs to be reconsidered. Only then Lithuania climbed down. If these countries have suicidal tendencies, they should accept the consequences : the bear will devour them.

  7.  @eliotness4029  'but from western point of view ===== annexation of baltic countries was illegal .period.' Where did you get that from ? Those were the spoils of war. The map of Europe was redrawn by Stalin. Churchill/Atlee and Truman could not stop him. Germany was partitioned - who is to say it is legal or illegal ? Germany's eastern territories like Konigsberg became part of the Soviet Union. And Eastern German lands were given to Poland. Again, who are you to decide whether it was legal or illegal. Germany threatened and waged war on Russia, and got beaten into a pulp and the Soviet Union set the terms, naturally. Likewise the US using Ukraine tried encircle and threaten Russia, and hence Russia is beating Ukraine to a pulp, and it cannot expect to have the borders of 1992. Ukraine should have kept the neutrality it promised in its declaration of independence, it reneged unilaterally on that, so its borders will be redrawn. You talk about western eyes like it is the height of morality. Was the invasion of Iraq illegal in western eyes ? Obviously not, as Bush and Blair are roaming around.

  8. I see you cannot cope with defeat and you are indulging in badmouthing Russia.

  9.  @bluebandites  These 'insane losses' are western claims designed to make you feel Russia's achievement is futile. Have you gone and counted Russia's casualties ? Or you just blindly believe what British and US intelligence say ? British intelligence has put out preposterous nonsense like Russians ran out of missiles, they are using chips from washing machines, their infantry ran out of shells and they had to fight with shovels in Bakhmut, their morale is very low etc. If they lie on these, surely they will lie on casualties as well. Look at the reality. The west says Ukraine lost 30,000 and Russia lost 500,000. Russia fires 10x shell as Ukraine - according to Zelensky. Who is likely to have more casualties ? Ukraine does not have manpower to fight at the front, but Russia has. Ukraine is forcibly taking people off the streets and sending them without too much training to the front. Ukrainian forces are now disobeying orders and some have surrendered. Russia's purpose was not to gain land per se; they have plenty of land. Their objectives are security driven. They want to make it clear to the US it cannot have naval bases in Ukraine to threaten Russia (Russia is ready to fight a nuclear war if needed to prevent US bases in Ukraine), to de-Nazify Ukraine (kill off Azov Batallion, Right Sector and other Ukro Nazi groups) and to demilitarise Ukraine (it will not have army and military production again). To achieve these goals, they have to attack Ukraine as Ukraine after the US led coup of 2014 was not voluntarily agreeing to the neutrality it committed itself at the time of independence. Russia then has to enforce neutrality. To do that, it has to occupy Ukraine just like the Red Army had to occupy Germany to evict Hitler and Nazism, and enforced demilitarisation of Germany. In the case of Germany, the Soviets did not annex it. In the case of Ukraine, as some of the areas have Russian population and were built by Russia historically (like Crimea, Donbass, Odessa, Kharkhov and Kiev), these will have to be returned to Russia. Putin has to honour the sacrifices of the Russian soldiers who take these places, so he cannot return them even if Ukraine is de-Nazified and demilitarised. These Russian areas were gifted to Ukraine in 1992, out of goodwill, under the understanding Ukraine will be a neutral state and not part of any military alliance. Ukraine under US incitement reneged on neutrality, it walked away from the peace negotiations and compromise in Turkey, under US and UK tutelage, so it cannot complain if it does not exist anymore. They chose their destiny.

  10.  @dshaw8356  What is - is defeat of the collective west. What could be - is solace in the face of the current defeat.

  11. Ukraine was never going to win, the west should never incited Ukraine to fighting a proxy war for them.
