I think the worst thing for Russia is Ukraine's home grown drone industry. You can make a shitton of drones for the cost of one HIMARS, and it stimulates Ukraine's economy to boot. |

CR
When you REALLY think about it, this war is not only getting better and better for Ukraine as time goes on, but it's actually becoming quite cheap for Ukraine to defend itself -- AND the expenses it's incurring to do so are actually stimulating it's economy. Meanwhile, Russia is getting rekt and falling further and further into ruin with every passing day.
... frankly it's a little bit "odd" that Zelenskyieve would even consider holding peace negotiations with Putin at this point, considering how well everything is trending for him, but I'm sure he has his reasons haha yeah haha. ;) |

Well I would assume, given that when you REALLY think about it things are actually going pretty great for Ukraine right now on a bunch of different levels, that any peace proposal in which Zelenskieyve is required to cede any substantial amount of physical territory to Russia will be a non-starter. Why would a party negotiating from a position of relative strength which is only increasing with time ever agree to terms like that? It wouldn't make sense at all.
Do you agree? |

Date: May 19th, 2025 6:16 PM Author: LathamTouchedMe All of the major offensives have been horrific failures. They’re going to continue with the meat waves on motorcycles. They can inch forward and it gives the illusion of progress. I think the bigger factor is oil prices. If they’re this low for another 6-12 months Russia’s ability to sustain the war ends.

The real tragedy isn't that Putler's late stage Alzheimer's Brain Cancer is finally catching up to him... it's that Russia is apparently entirely out of bullets at this point, which means he won't even be able to shotgun himself and end the misery. |

By the end of 2025, at this rate, Russia will have over a million casualties, and its strategic situation will not be any better than it was in 2022."

Isn't Ukraine basically out of men? Seems like that's a relevant counterpoint. |

*(((GAY JEWISH AMERICAN MSM NEWS OUTLET))) SHOTGUNS DOWN YOUR DOOR*
"Hey, you! Did you know that Russia has lost 800,000+ men so far in this war?! Probably more, to be honest... anyway, it's a total fucking bloodbath and an absolute disaster for them!!! They're megafukt!!!"
"Wow, yeah, I mean that seems like a ton of guys... btw how many Ukrainians have been killed so far?"
"Well you have to understand that it's very hard if not impossible to generate an accurate count for that sort of thing, due to 'the fog of war,' etc. In fact it's so difficult that we really don't want to speculate and throw out a number."
"No, I mean, OK, sure I get that -- but you rushed in here to give me a number for Russia, so idk just give me your best guess for Ukraine, too. If you *had* to make an educated guess. It seems very relevant."
"We don't want to speculate!"
"Just speculate. Go ahead. You shotgunned down my door to come lecture me about this, so I insist. Do it."
"Hmmm... OK, but just bear in mind, this is very imprecise and quite possibly inflated. If forced to guess, we would estimate ~30,000 Ukrainian casualties so far."
"Wait... seriously? You're telling me that you want me to believe that the Russians have been taking casualties at a fucking ~26:1 ratio for the last three years straight?! That sounds absolutely insane!"
"Yes."
"Uh, I mean... and wait, isn't the typical 'rule of thumb' that an invading army should anticipate taking losses at a ~3:1 ratio when drawing up their battle plans?"
"Yes."
"So you're saying that Russia is literally performing 8x worse than we might expect in a 'generic' war? That the casualty ratio in this war is a wild statistical outlier on an exponential level, even though this war features two Slav countries fighting each other (so little to no IQ disparity between the two fighting forces) and Russia is actually richer, more populated, and more militarily powerful than Ukraine... so if anything, taking those factors into account, we might logically expect that Russia would actually perform *better* than if it were merely fighting a 'generic' war in which it didn't necessarily hold all of those advantages?"
"Yes."
"..."
"...hey, so anyway, did you know that Joe Biden has CANCER and Blondalf Drumpfth SAID A REALLY MEAN THING ABOUT HIM?!" |

Wait but so which of the fake and gay imaginary strawmen MSM talking points that I clearly just hallucinated above do *you* claim that the American MSM hasn't actually been pushing?
(Assume before you answer that I have multiple links ready to drop that show MSM news sources pushing each and every one of them)
Or perhaps you just sincerely believe that Russia has indeed been taking ~26:1 casualties in this war for the last three years running? |

Date: May 19th, 2025 10:20 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK Kiev can't be flipped politically unless Russia inflicts massive civilian casualties, and that should always be Plan B. Plan A has to be some kind of ground invasion, and that requires well trained men to march forward.
That's exactly what the USA lacked in Vietnam. Men just didn't want to go walking in the jungle at all, and no one could make them do it without getting shot to death. Fortunately, Russian troops aren't deployed on a far away continent. It's easy to rotate them in and out, the terrain is familiar, language is the same etc. They just need like 6 months of R&R before they'll push. |
