The failures of Western military vehicles in the East makes one wonder if not letting Patton drive to Moscow now seem like a great decision. Also, it now makes sense why all the videos we've been shown have all the Ukrainian troops decked out in clean uniforms and using cool drones and other advanced weaponry: they were recruitment videos.
thanks stephen.. i can't see russia going on an offensive.. it is working very well for russia as it presently stands.. i think you are right about this - Biden wants another $20.6 billion for Ukraine, but Congress must agree. It isn’t clear Congress will want to pump big money into a losing proposition.
The US administration wants to stretch out the war until Biden is reelected. It is promoting the idea of a stalemate to try and keep the camp fires burning.
Based on NYT Russia has an estimated 300000 killed and wounded and Ukraine 200000 in 18 months. That is 18000 Russian vs 12000 Ukrainian soldiers killed and wounded every month. The war will continue. Ukraine will receive Abrams tanks, it will produce more long range drones and naval drones and will receive Western jets and more Jdams. Russias own drone production will surge. The war will continue. Russia will loose more ships and its bomber air bases will be attacked. Hard to predict where things will be in 12 months, but a loosing Russia will go nuclear.
"Some Ukrainian units have suffered casualty rates of 85% during their ongoing counteroffensive against Russian forces, Western mercenaries told ABC News on Thursday. The report aligns with casualty figures released by Russia, which claims that its forces have incapacitated 43,000 Ukrainian troops in two months."
Ah the NY Times. I check in their occasionally, and what I see is bad reporting on the war. For example, a friend forwarded me an article from the NYTimes analyzing the motives and likely culprit behind the bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline The article concluded that "Putin" may have done this just to demonstrate how crazy he is. The article never mentioned that Biden had said the U.S. was planning to do this if Russia invaded Ukraine.
Ok fair enough to not trust a liberal hack magazine like the NYT, but why do you trust a liberal hack magazine like the WP?
If you have better data, love to see it. Based on ORYX Russia looses 40-50 pieces of equipment daily compared to 20 for Ukraine. There will be more carnage from Ukrainian naval sea drones. Ukraine knows that the West is not a reliable partner. It will try to improve its drone strike capabilities, but so will Russia
ORYX seems to be staffed by Bellingcat veterans -- i.e. Western intelligence personnel. I've found them to be unreliable and propagandistic since well before the Ukrainian War.
On the other hand, I've found the Russian sources to be much more reliable, but don't have time to dig up the sources right now.
propaganda is alive and well in the west.. nyt, wapo and all the rest are regular proof of it.. bellingcat and all the other hangers on are further proof... the usa-uk might be good at propaganda, but propaganda ain't gonna win this conflict even though it always looks like they are winning, lol..
Well said,
We need regime change in Washington to restore peace to Ukraine.
It is not a stalemate at all... even if the USA “regime” says so.
Demilitarization of Ukraine is going better then planned. So is denazification.
Russia is winning the economic war also. USA is loosing.
My car insurance whet up 33% from 6 months ago. Gas is now $4.50 a gallon in Illinois.
Let’s go Brandon

Propaganda is the word you’re looking for
Frankly, I'm tired of all these Nazi apologetics; even Hitler had enough sense to know when to quit.

NUMBERS ARE WRONG

What are the correct numbers?
Also, Soltsy-2 airfield just hit by a drone, 2 TU-22 bombers damaged. Expect more attacks on Russian bomber bases 1000 km from the front line.
