  1. Losing 10.000 APC and IFVs is a loss that is going to be felt by any country. And there is a probably a shortage of such vehicles by now in russia. The drone footages from Avdiivka shows large numbers of men stacked on top of the vehicles, so I guess they no longer drive around with them half-full like the first days of the war. Russian tank losses are also felt. Russia have lost more than half of its tank stockpiles according to conservative estimates and photo confirmed kills. And to make matters worse are it the best half of the tanks that have been lost, and not the old aged crappy tanks which are the ones that are remaining. Russia have lost 6000 artillery pieces this year. And old world war 2 howitzers been brought into use to compensate for severe artillery losses. The artillery was russias strongest card in the beginning of this war. But because russia have lost ammunition depots and had so many of their best guns knocked out and their best crews killed, and now lacks counter-battery radars and skilled fire observers are their artillery now clearly inferior to the Ukrainian one. If it wasn't for the lack of ammunition would Ukraines artillery be far superior by now.

  2. Why havn't Ukraine lost yet then when their air force have been destroyed 4 times over and their army have lost 600.000 men? If pedophile Scott Ritters fake numbers are true... then why have nazi russia still not won yet after 2 years of war? why did Putin mobilize 300.000 more troops? why are they begging North Korea for more ammunition if they are winning as you claim they do? Why is the russian army advancing fast as a snail? Why did it retreat from Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Khersun and Snake Island if it is winning?

  3. Given that some ethnic russians are 300 times less likely to be mobilized than certain ethnic groups do I not think that this is unlikely at all.

  4.  @showdown66  The burden of proving such claim is on your shoulders and not mine, since you are the one making that claim. To me it all sounds like ridiculous russian propaganda lies.

  5.  @Loreless  It shows how much russia sucks at warfare. And it shows how little russian tsars cares about russian lives. Losing over 300.000 men is not normal. We are not talking about a world war here. This war is fought only against a country ranked on 22nd place of the worlds most powerful armies. This is embaressing for russia.

  6. You must be living in a very fascinating and interesting alternative reality. Somehow is the Ukrainian military totally incompetent and 600.000 Ukrainian soldiers are dead... and yet for some reason have russia still not beaten Ukraine after 2 years and been forced to retreat in area after area.

  7. And now russia is the new nazi Germany. They start unprovoced wars of aggression. They murder the Ukrainian intelligentia, just the same way the Germans killed the Polish intelligentia. And they promote censorship, they do not have freedom of opinion, and they build torture chambers for children on occupied territory. They kidnap children just like the nazis did. They terror bomb cities just like Germany did to Warsaw, Rotterdam and London. Standing against Nazi-russia is the right thing to do now if you have learned anything from history. Putin have learned from history. All his methods are copies from nazi-Germany. The ideas of ethno-nationalism and ethnic cleansing for example. And they justify their wars with excuses like "we are just retaken our old historical lands" and "we are protecting our opressed minority in a foreign land". Excuses Hitler used when he invaded Poland and Czechoslovakia. Those who side with russia today, side with nazi Germany.

  8. I think putin do not want men to return home from the war and tell people how horrible it was, and he do not want people to see men who lost an arm, or a leg, or an eye. And he do not want people to know about the incompetence of their military and how the officers waste their mens lives in meat assults, and how men are not given good equipment. All those things can cause anti-war protests, and such protests are things that putin fears most. Putin does not fear the election itself since it is rigged and fake, and all his political opponents have been thrown in jail (Navalny, Girkin) or killed (Prigozhin).

  9. I rather see it as a choice of russia to spend their meat now, instead of doing so in the future. That will mean that they will make some minimal gains now, but on the other hand will they be denied any gains in the future as they have spent this force. So this is also an oppurtuinity for Ukraine.

  10. More than America lost in World war 1 and Vietnam combined. Before the next year is over will russian losses likely pass 405.000 - which is more troops than americans that died in World war 2.

  11. Nazi-russia have ethnically cleansed places they occupy, like Crimea which now have 100.000 less Ukrainians living there. And perhaps as many as 200.000 Ukrainians were murdered by russian bombardment at Mariupol. And now have 800.000 russian settlers moved to Crimea. Ukraine have all the historical right to take back what is theirs. Genocide should not be rewarded. And russia should just go home and smile. And be happy that the ukrainians are not genocidal maniacs like you.

  12. I believe russia still thinks they are the old Soviet union. But the falling birth rates do no allow for wasteful meat waves into infinity anymore

  13. Not many western countries have the resources to fight off the nazi-russiann threat on their own. Which is why nazi-russia is an existential threat. But if the west combines their forces they can easily beat nazi-russia. Nazi-russia knows they have no chance against Nato, so in order to continue their aggressive ambitions they launch a hybride war against the west instead - with misinformation campaigns, hacker attacks, try to flood Polish and Finlands borders with refugees and they try to create as much chaos around the world as possible, while they are spreading lying anti-western propaganda. So yes nazi russia is the evil empire that is an existential threat to the west.

  14. No one have claimed russia have a manpower problem - they can always mobilize more as long as there are the political will to do so. And the equipment they use are from old soviet stockpiles. Men are driving their granpas T-62 tank and using his old bolt action rifles and rusty AK47s. And of course do he not have any nightvision or body armor like modern western armies, because russia do not care about their soldiers own lives.

  15. Didn't Putin say so in one of his speeches?

  16. The side with artillery firepower will likely win

  17. Defeatism is a self-fulfilling prophecy yes. However there are also those who are determined to support Ukraine - like Poland, the Baltics, and Scandinavia and the British. There are many in America and Germany who also strongly supports Ukraine. And that matters. EU have also put its own existence at risk in this war. It is pretty much a victory or die scenario for the union. If russia is allowed to win, that will create much bitterness in the union and countries in the north east will feel angry and betrayed the selfish behaviour of countries like Hungary and Slovakia. We much rather kick out Hungary from Nato and EU and replace it with Ukraine. EU will have to make sure that Ukraine wins. And most countries that are currently involved in navel gazing have to look beyond their own self-interest if they want the EU to survive this war.

  18. Not for year 2024. But I think there will be a year after 2024. I think there will be a year 2025. And that will likely not be good for Nazi-russia as they by then will have economic problems and a lack of artillery shells. While Ukraine hopefully will get American aid again. And ammunition factories in Europe is rolling out large numbers of artillery shells for Ukraine each day. And Ukraine will have access to new military capabilities such as ATACMS. The tables will then shift in Ukraines favor. And russian manpower losses may then start to skyrocket as a result of increased Ukrainian firepower and russias lack of material to support their infantry (tanks, artillery etc). This in turn might create much unhappiness about the war in russia and force them to leave Ukraine

  19. Ukraines problem is more an ammunitions problem. Its not like they lack weapons from the west as they now have more tanks than russia and superiority in artillery before USA stopped shipments of artillery. Ukraine is not losing the war on the battlefield. Its rather pro-russian traitors in the republican party in USA that is causing problems for Ukraine in this war. Because cheating is the only way worthless rusbots can win wars. If russian clown numbers and fake statistics were true then its strange that russia still has failed to win this war. I mean russian propaganda claims that Ukraine have a totally incompetent military and have lost 600.000 men including the entire Ukrainian air force which have lost 800 planes despite they only own 200 planes. So by russias own statistics I can only make the conclusion that the russian military sucks. Why is it giving up ground and fail to take land when their enemy is already beaten?

  20. USA went from an army 100.000 strong in 1940 to a military over 12 million strong 5 years later. They had the best equipped troops in the world. And they could likely have mobilized even more men if they had wanted to, but USA already began their demobilization of their war economy in late 1943. So what is my conclusion? - I think that the west can mobilize massive forces if the political will exist. And just like USA accelerated from 0 to 100 kilometers and hour in world war 2, can the west do the same now if the political will exist. Indeed, with all machinery and industrial robots could mobilizing 12 million americans for war be easier today than it was back in the 1940s.

  21. Well the elderly last time voters do not care about their grandsons

  22. Nazi russia is not launching several offensives as all of their focus lay on Avdiivka and they are too weak for making any offensives elsewhere. You are however correct that much tanks are supporting the offensives, but the end result is just the same as previously in this war.

  23. if you hate the western perspective so much, then why are you speaking english? why not move to nazi-russia instead where you don't have to be annoyed?
