SECOND: In Ukraine, Russia is repeating WWII as if the Eastern Front was a big success rather than a huge slaughter of Russians by Russians. If Russia does not change its ineffective methods carried over from 1940-1945, Russia will kill many millions of Russians before the Ukrainian War is all over,



SECOND, nearly everything you think you know about everything is wrong. You made one lucky guess (assuming that you're not lying) about oil, but that glow doesn't extend to anything else bc you're not uneducated, you're MISeducated. And yuo did it to yourself.

Russians aren't losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Ukraine, Kiev is.
Russians didn't use "human wave" tactics in WWII either.

If you could just take a peek at reality once in a while you might correct some of that misinformation encrusting your brain, but I know you won't.

Where is your proof, Signym, of those Ukrainian deaths? Show the bodies.

But if you want to prove Ukraine is incompetent at warfare, the proof is that the Kerch Strait Bridge between Russia and Ukraine's Crimea is still carrying traffic. That should have been the first target for Ukraine back on Feb 24, 2022.

Did Ukraine need a weapon that it doesn't own to stop traffic on that bridge? Ukraine should have either bought it or built the weapon starting at the same time as Putin announced the bridge back in 2014.

That is proof that Ukrainians are as stupid as Russians about how to win a war without almost destroying themselves, which Stalin nearly did to Russia during WWII. On the other hand, the US had relatively few causalities because FDR didn't line up ten million US citizens and execute them. Stalin killed at least ten million Russians just because of political differences during WWII. The closest that FDR got to doing something Stalinesquely self-destructive to the US was when FDR imprisoned US citizens for being related to Japan.

When I post videos and pictures of corpses or battlefields you complained it doesn't belong here.

Nonetheless, I have occasionally posted videos of Ukrainian graveyards with row on row of fresh graves with Ukie flags flapping over them, and there are plenty more of those videos available

Interviews of frontline Ukie soldiers is another non-Russian source. They often recount that a third to a half of their company has been killed or wounded.

Long days of gravediggers tell story of Ukraine's war dead
-Newsweek

Kiev, of course lies about everything, especially about the number of their dead and Russian dead, so you can shitcan anything "Kiev says" and shitcan any repetition of it.

Biden says US will help Ukraine with F-16s:

President Biden has told G-7 leaders during his trip to Japan that the U.S. will back an allied effort to train Ukrainian pilots on some aircraft, including F-16s, according to a CNN first report Friday morning.

The months-long training probably won’t happen in the U.S. — instead taking place in Europe. But U.S. personnel may take part in the effort, according to CNN’s sources.

It was already reported overnight that the Biden administration had signaled to European allies that the F-16 fighter jets would be sent to Ukraine.

Putin’s tenure in power has had a cumulative effect on his worldview. His assertiveness has grown in step with his strengthened grip on domestic power and his growing perception that he faces only limited international pushback. His personal resentment of geopolitical slights has grown and fed back into Russia’s national security dialogue. The influence of other forceful national security leaders has also grown. Putin has responded to internal challenges by seeking foreign policy distractions. The direction of his aims has always been consistent even if the vigor and rancor with which they are pursued has increased.

Of course. Every wunderwaffe that NATO has provided... javelins, HIMARS, Patriot missiles, leopard tanks, APCs, Storm Shadow missiles etc has pretty much turned out to be a dud. Bc really, if any of these had turned the tide, if Ukraine was WINNING!, would we be supplying YET ANOTHER weapons system?

How long will it take us, do you think, before we finally reach into our back pocket and pull out a nuke?

"Nobody has explained how victory is supposed to look," Narusova told an interviewer. "If we think of the originally declared goals, 'denazification' and 'demilitarization,' the entire Ukrainian army must have been already destroyed by now."

Narusova added that Russian soldiers are now up against NATO-armed Ukrainian troops.

"Does that mean we are demilitarizing NATO?" she asked. "That goal is unattainable."

• A Ukrainian official stated that Russian forces have concentrated most of their available reserves to the Bakhmut area and slowed Ukrainian counterattacks in the past 24 hours.

• Ukrainian counterattacks near Bakhmut have notably likely eliminated the threat of a Russian encirclement of Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut and forced Russian troops to allocate scarce military resources to defend against a limited and localized offensive effort, as Ukrainian command likely intended.

Wagner Declares Full Capture Of Bakhmut After 224 Days Of Fighting

Head of the Russian private military group Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has announced Saturday that after months of grinding warfare and heavy casualties, Russia has now taken full control of the strategic city of Bakhmut.

khmut-after-224-days-fighting


The Duran, Brian Berletic, Sonar 21, even the pro-Ukrainian Military Summary Channel, have been following Russia's progress in Bakhmut. A week ago, there were 20 buildings yet to be captured. Yesterday, there were two.

And then there were none.

The Russian MoD usually follows the field commander's declaration by a few days to a few weeks. Buildings must be searched for soldiers, bodies, or booby traps,, the area de-mined, unexploded ordnance removed etc. Kiev generally takes a weeks to months to acknowledge lost territory.

Russia will probably want to "mop up" some of the surrounding villages Chasiv Yar has been mentioned over and over.

Next: Avdiika? Which is almost completely surrounded.

BTW most Russian troops are NOT in Bakhmut. Nobody knows where they are and the Russian MoD isn't saying, but there are an estimated 300,000 -500,000 somewhere. If they were all in Bakhmut they'd be stepping on each other's toes

Will Zelenskiy finally return to Ukraine now? Will Zaluzhny re-appear?
