Russia-Ukraine War Updates

[GemState]

The invasion force was 178K. They sent more soldiers after they captured Iraq in order to secure it.

Regardless, they were facing 1.3 million Iraqi soldiers then.

Russia is sending 190,000 troops which is the largest invasion force seen since WWII for a military of 200K.

190k? Give a source. All I'm seeing is 70k Russians actually deployed inside Ukraine and a 25-30k combined forces of the DPR/LPR

Right, 2/3rds of Russian troops remain outside of the border.

Think they got what they wanted. Get Ukraine to never join Nato, prop up DPR&LPR and end it from there. Low scale skirmishes are probably continue for a while tho

The russian invaders are begging for food and fuel for their vehicles from the locals. Russian military vehicles are stuck on roads throughout Ukraine.

And these people want to be dominant in a multipolar world.

Regardless how far they go, if this outcome happens it's a huge victory. Ensures Ukraine gonna be a neutral nation, on-top of gaining 2 more republics they can prop up like Abkhazia.

Trump was an isolationist; he wanted the US to leave NATO.

So why would he risk WW3 over Ukraine? He wouldn't.

Absolutely, after Afghanistan debacle and now this... he has permanently weakened America's standing in the world, ineffective, weak leadership never bodes well..

FWIW, it was Trump's administration that negotiated the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Biden followed through. I think the outcome was inevitable tbh.

they think blonde women holding AK47s on Twitter gonna change that lol

He was never losing to begin with though. The bordering former Shuuci European countries were, and are, shit scared of him. They wouldn't dare manufacture a conflict with Russia just to start a war of mutual assured destruction between NATO and Russia.

Apart from securing the future of Crimea and 'protecting' the Russian Language in Eastern Ukraine, this war is a personal, nationalistic, vainglorious obsession for Putin. I can see why it hurts the Mongrel if the cradle of the Rus people was to drift further West.

@Abdalla

gast luister Rutte zoekt echt oprecht ruzie met putin. Wie zegt tegen hem überhaupt om er een commotie er van te maken?

ik wil niet voor dit land dood gaan. No way gaat dat gebeuren maar ik kan ook sws niet terug naar Somalië. Hijs nu Finland en Zweden aan het duigen

We hebben geen keuze smh.

Omdat we ook onderdeel zijn van de nato alliantie, moeten wij ook ons houden aan artikel 5. "Een aanval op een lid is een aanval op alle leden". Houd je koffer gereed voor wanneer ze de Baltische staten of Polen aanvallen. Deze landen behoren tot NATO.

I support Ukraine because they are fighting the sponsors of serbian genocidal aspirations, ideology and politics in the Balkans.

The russian modus operandi in Ukraine is the same the serbs applied in Bosnia.

I hope the serbian volunteers that fight for the russians over there end up in the same way russian volunteers fighting for serbs in Bosnia ended up back in the 90's. In the black soil of Bosnia. I dont care if Zelenskiy is a jew or not.

Great summary

 

[Nilotic]

I very much doubt those numbers. The Ukrainians are claiming that they lost hundreds while inexplicably claiming to have inflicted those casualties on a qualitatively superior force?

Have you seen the footages and videos of Russian soldiers and their military vehicles stranded on roads throughout Ukraine? They are begging for fuel and food from locals.

Its an embarassment for a supposed super power, the poor logistics.

It is very difficult to fight a morally motivated population that fights to protect their homes and families, their bare existence. Even if you are superior in terms of firepower.

The Ukrainians wisely let them in instead of frontally attacking them. They let them into the cities and then they blast russian military vehicles that are sitting ducks on city streets. If the Ukrainians had done the opposite, that is if they had concentrated their forces and attacked the ruskis directly, this would have been over yesterday.

Putin is getting nervous. The russians havent accomplished anything, they havent taken any larger cities.

Even if one were to accept all of that... the casualty figures are nonsensical; it's one thing to entertain the possibility that Ukraine is incurring costs and significant casualties on Russia, however, it's another to accept that Russia has lost thousands while Ukraine has lost hundreds.

This is nowhere near as full scale invasion. Nearly 200k deployment is fake news from the west. Putin is doing a precision strike, you don’t need 200k soldiers for that. However, it’s not going according to Putins plan, I am sure he’s frustrated at the slow progress in and around Kyiv

 

[Lostbox]

Is it true that putin is dying?
