Those are big words.
I remember when you said the exact same thing about Trump before you disappeared for 3 weeks after election day because you're a pussy and a coward.
And almost 18 months later you still haven't finished crying.
As for Putin and his scenario... We'll see...

Russia Has No Chance of Winning the Ukraine War
By Reuben Johnson | May 26, 2026
https://nationalsecurityjournal.org/russia-has-no-chance-of-winning-th
e-ukraine-war/
Does anyone still remember way back when the prospect of a missile or other aerodynamic weapon system launched from Ukraine hitting a target on actual Russian territory was a terrifying prospect? This would result in horrific “E” word coming to pass –escalation of the conflict into a global war – those of us who were calling for Ukraine to receive long-range weapons from the US, we were told repetitively.
This was the hallmark of Joe Biden’s presidency, who, as The Atlantic described it, ensured that the war would continue indefinitely as he “thought of the conflict as a crisis to be managed, not a war to be won.”
His decision to finally permit strikes with shorter-range US systems like the HIMARS rocket artillery system came only after 33 months of the war. During this almost three-year period, Russia consistently launched long-range missile and drone attacks almost anywhere in Ukraine the Kremlin wanted, and Moscow also increasingly began using Iranian- and North Korean-made weapons to do so.
As the magazine recalls in this November 2024 assessment, “Biden has promised the Ukrainians that he will stand by them ‘for as long as it takes’— but he has nevertheless made sure that the war has gone on much longer than it had to.”
Now, in May 2026, as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “10-day Special Military Operation” inches up on the counter towards day number 1600, Ukraine is hitting targets inside of Russia on practically a daily basis and doing so at will. Moreover, it is striking at not just military sites and command centers, but also at strategic facilities that are essential to Putin’s ability to keep funding his war effort.
These include some of the largest oil refineries and gas transit facilities in Russia, as well as many of the terminals and ports needed to load oil onto tankers for export.
Changing the Dynamic in the Ukraine War
Ukraine’s drone and missile attacks have sharply altered the dynamic of this war and have made it one in which Moscow no longer has the initiative, no longer has the upper hand in the war of air, drone, and missile strikes, and – most importantly – no longer shows any chance of prevailing in the conflict.
The Washington, DC-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) think-tank’s 25 May assessment concludes, “Ukraine is actively challenging the positional character of the war that has dominated the battlefield since 2023. Russian battlefield gains are approaching net zero, while Ukrainian forces are setting conditions potentially to break out of positional warfare by reintroducing limited elements of mechanized maneuver at the tactical level.”
With an ominous warning about what could be in store for Russia’s forces in the near future, the ISW now reports that “Ukraine has re-secured an overall drone advantage and fielded systems capable of disrupting Russian forces throughout their operational depth in support of planned Ukrainian offensive or defensive ground operations.”
In plain language, a new-generation version of combined arms, which military experts used to refer to as the “Air-Land Battle.” It is the type of warfare that Russia’s military always claimed they were the world’s experts at, but which they have shown almost no signs of having any institutional memory of ever since the February 2022 invasion.
Long and Medium Range Strikes
Long-range Ukrainian strikes inside Russia, which were once a surprise to Putin’s military, are now so frequent that they are not just hitting valuable targets in Russia’s rear. They are also testing – as well as wearing down – Russian air defenses and straining Moscow’s logistics.
They are also a major boost for Kyiv’s war effort. After years of almost robotically chanting “there is no way the Ukrainians can win,” and wanting to look the other way, Western governments are now reconsidering how much they are willing to do to support the Uk

THGR, I listened to the first 5 minutes of your video. Did you count the # of times it referenced Ukraine's military intelligence??? In five minutes, there was not one true statement, and I'm not about to waste my time listening to 48 minutes of bull.
So, quick comments to you and SECOND:
a) If drones were enough to win a war, Russia would have won two years ago. Airwars don't make victories.
b) Everything... EVERYTHING ... said about Russia goes 10x for Ukraine. Ruined logistics? Failed economy? Ginormous deficits? Mobilization? Check, check, check, and check!
c) If it wasn't for the USA and EU, Ukraine would have cratered a long time ago. As it is, EU weapons, supplies, finances, and economies are being drained into the black hole that is Ukraine. It's becoming politically insupportable.
Ukraine is a giant grift.

6ix, you will have essentially summarized the core premise of Absurdism, as pioneered by Albert Camus. If nihilism states that life has no meaning, and existentialism tries to force a subjective meaning onto the void, absurdism is the liberating acceptance that the universe is fundamentally indifferent to our search for purpose.
Rather than succumbing to despair, embracing the absurd turns meaninglessness on its head. It frees you from the pressure of grand designs or ultimate destinations. Since there are no intrinsic rules or predetermined paths, you are free to live passionately, authentically, and defiantly in the present moment.
As Camus famously noted, acknowledging the absurd cannot be an end, but only a beginning. It becomes an active rebellion where you choose to savor the sheer experience of living without illusions. You can dive deeper into this philosophical liberation through the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on Camus, or explore its practical applications on Psychology Today.

This isn't about not caring what happens in Ukraine because one cares about nothing.

Ukrainian children unlawfully deported and forcibly transferred to Russia: EU sanctions 16 individuals and seven entities
On the day of the high-level meeting of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children, the Council has decided to adopt restrictive measures against further 16 individuals and seven entities responsible for actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.
The decision targets those responsible for the systematic unlawful deportation, forced transfer, forced assimilation, including indoctrination and militarised education, of Ukrainian minors, as well as their unlawful adoption and removal to the Russian Federation and within temporarily occupied territories.
Since the start of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, Russia is estimated to have deported and forcibly transferred nearly 20,500 Ukrainian children. These actions constitute grave breaches of international law and a violation of the fundamental rights of the child and aim to erase Ukrainian identity and undermine the preservation of its future generations.
The entities listed today include federal state institutions linked to the Russian Ministry of Education such as the All-Russian Children's Centres Orlyonok, Scarlet Sails, and Smena. They organise -- in coordination with occupation authorities -- programmes for Ukrainian children in which they are subjected to pro-Russian indoctrination, including through patriotic events, ideological education, and military-oriented activities. Other listed entities host Ukrainian minors transferred from occupied territories of Ukraine and expose them to programmes aligned with Russian state policies, including political indoctrination and activities consistent with education frameworks designed for basic military training. The DOSAAF Centre in Sevastopol, the Nakhimov Naval School and the Military-Patriotic Club “Patriot” in Crimea run the re-education, ideological indoctrination, and militarisation of minors, fostering loyalty to Russia and undermining Ukrainian national identity.

Exclusive: Senior Ukrainian commander sees imminent 'turning point' in war

mmander-sees-imminent-turning-point-war-2026-05-27/
Summary
• Andriy Biletsky commands Ukraine's Third Army Corps
• He predicts a turning point in war in Ukraine
• Biletsky believes Russian forces are exhausted
• He thinks they are incapable of major breakthroughs
KHARKIV REGION, Ukraine, May 27 (Reuters) - Ukraine has a six-month window in which to seize the battlefield initiative from Russia and strengthen its hand for peace talks, a senior commander told Reuters, predicting a "turning point" was imminent after more than four years of war.
Russian forces have made grinding gains since their full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, but the advances have slowed this year and Ukrainian troops are increasing pressure on the battlefield to try to push them back.
Brigadier General Andriy Biletsky, who commands Ukraine's Third Army Corps, one of Ukraine's most respected fighting forces, told Reuters in an interview that he believes Russia's army is exhausted and incapable of making major breakthroughs.
If Ukraine's military can build and maintain momentum over several months, it can gain the initiative along the frontline and push Russia to abandon its designs on the last part of the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine that it does not yet occupy, he said.
"I believe the next six to nine months are a turning point," Biletsky said at an undisclosed underground location in the northeastern Kharkiv region.
"More precisely, I think the next six are the most critical," he said.
The issue of who controls Donetsk has been a stumbling block in U.S.-backed peace talks that have stalled, with Russia wanting the entire region and Ukraine refusing to withdraw from territory that Moscow's troops have been unable to conquer.
"We need to define those directions where we can improve our positions, take some strategic points, and then speak with the Russians from a position of strength - not weakness - about a truly stable truce," said Biletsky, a right-wing political leader who founded the battle-hardened Azov Battalion and now commands tens of thousands of troops.
"From a military point of view, this is realistic."
Russia's Defence Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story. Russian President Vladimir Putin has vowed victory in Ukraine and said this month he thinks the war is nearing an end.
'CRITICAL' MONTHS AHEAD
Russia's advances have been complicated by a decision by billionaire Elon Musk to deny Moscow's forces access to his Starlink satellite-based internet service. Kyiv has meanwhile stepped up medium-range drone attacks on Russian air defences and logistics, helping more long-range strikes get through to hit oil and military facilities in Russia.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said last week Ukraine had retaken nearly 600 square km (230 square miles) of territory in 2026. Reuters could not independently verify the figure. Moscow currently controls almost one-fifth of Ukrainian territory.
Assessing the military situation, John Helin of the Finland-based Black Bird conflict-analysis group echoed Biletsky in saying fatigue was a problem for Russian forces, while Ukraine's war effort is hampered by a manpower shortage.
"It does seem like, four or five months into this year, it's much more likely that the Russians will get exhausted before the Ukrainian problems come to a breaking point," he told Reuters.
On Monday, the U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War said Kyiv's forces were now "actively challenging the positional character of the war" and could soon be capable of staging limited mechanised assaults.

Catastrophe is coming for Putin as the Ukraine war looks now like disastrous defeat for Russia
Summary and Key Points: As Russia's economy buckles under sanctions and drone strikes on its oil infrastructure, the elite consensus around Vladimir Putin is showing visible cracks — with a well-connected business leader telling The Guardian there is now "profound disappointment in Putin" and a growing sense that "some kind of catastrophe is looming." Former US Special Envoy for Ukraine Kurt Volker told PBS Frontline that "things are crumbling around Putin" and now openly discusses scenarios where Ukraine could retake Crimea — an eventuality that was almost impossible to foresee just two months ago.
