Nine Minutes That Could Change The World

Here is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s full appeal to the Russian people.

Could any nine minutes be more powerful?

As you’ve doubtless heard, Arnold is big in Russia — and, apparently, one of 22 people Putin follows on Twitter.

Is Russia losing?

So far, Russia has struggled to establish air superiority despite massive numerical superiority. According to pre-invasion data from the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Russia’s aerospace forces include 1,172 fixed-wing aircraft; Ukraine has 124. Yet Ukraine’s planes are still flying and its air defenses mostly remain in place; as a result, the Ukrainian military has been able to use air power against the Russian attackers, including deploying Turkish-made TB2 drones against slow Russian armored columns to devastating effect.

According to Farley, the issues with Russia’s air force run even deeper than lack of maintenance and fuel: Russian pilots lack adequate experience with this kind of campaign and do not train very effectively, while the leadership seems afraid to risk jets over Ukrainian skies.

"The scale of the mobilization – including its logistics, personnel, ammunition, fuel, rocket launches, and so on – will cost more money each day. As a result, according to researchers, the daily cost of war for Russia is “likely to exceed $20 billion” as the invasion scales."

Your post SECOND doesn't include their collapsing economy at home. Both these have to be taken into account when determining how long Russia can keep up the fight. I've heard on several fronts the next week to ten days without substantial Russian advancements will be a crushing blow for them.

I've also heard from many different sources taking and holding Kyiv or greater Ukraine can't happen. That as far as this goes Russia has already lost. They have also lost their reputation of being a force to be reconned with. They have been exposed to the world as being completely incompetent when it comes to fighting, tactics, resupply, air-dominance, you name it.

Hey Signym, I told you so...

Was he? I didn't hear that one. Just like I spend most of my news-reading time focusing on Leftist Propaganda, I assume that you spent far more of your time the last 5 years listening to what Trump was saying and not paying much attention to the echo chambers that are more in line with what you want to hear.

I never trust centralized power by default. NATO is just another step in the wrong direction for the human race.

Military plane crash kills 4 US troops during NATO exercise in Norway; unrelated to Ukraine

I guess, allegedly, it wasn't even in the name of the Ukraine propaganda. Good luck ever verifying that claim though.

What a waste.

What a waste? 6ix, you really don't know that being in the military, but not in combat, is more dangerous than being in combat. The number of non-combat deaths compared to combat deaths: 13,969 to 4,602.

Approximately 13,969 service members have died in circumstances unrelated to OCO operations (Overseas Contingency Operations) since 2006. On average, this amounts to approximately 918 non-war-related deaths each year (excluding 2021). Personnel perished in approximately 75 countries (and at sea), with the majority (93%) of deaths occurring in the United States. Other locations included Germany, Japan, South Korea, Italy, and the United Kingdom.

Generally, service members died as the result of accident, self-inflicted wounds, or illness. Approximately 15% (2,146) involved vehicles. Alcohol or substance abuse was a factor in 7% of all accidental deaths. The data do not indicate whether alcohol and/or substance abuse was involved in deaths due to self-inflicted wounds, illness, or vehicles.

Approximately 4,602 military personnel have died in (or as the result of) OCO operations in 28 countries and locations at sea. Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) caused approximately half (45%) of all U.S. deaths in operational war zones. The lethality of IEDs closely tracked surges of troop deployments to OCO operations, primarily in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Suicide and Homicide deaths (4,315 + 547) are more than all deaths in any way related to combat (4,602). During combat, there are the occasional suicide and homicide (297 + 44) but peace time is far more dangerous to a soldier's health because there are no officers closely supervising the soldier 24/7 during peace, unlike during combat.
