when everyone in Russia find our how badly Russia has lost.
shadowminister,
Do not underestimate Patriotism just because you never had any exposure to it !

Hi AC,

Yes, the road out of Bakhmut is very precarious, but given the losses being inflicted on the Russian and Wagner forces I can understand why the Ukrainians want to hold it for as long as they can.

Both sides are low on ammunition and equipment, and as Ukraine is preparing for a counteroffensive they will be using a minimal amount of munitions to hold the front.

Putin now has most of what's left of the Russian army in Ukraine and has expended much of Russia's guided missile and ammunition supplies. What might that suggest about his fear Russia being invaded by Nato?

I honestly don't know what the true state of each sides weapons and ammunition and troops in reserve is right now.
I'm not sure NATO wants to get involved other than proxy
- But with Polish troops it might be a different story.
Russia may still have a large fully equipped reserve force in Belarus.

Hi AC,

Russia could be a far more prosperous country than Japan, Germany, or even the United States, but that will never be whilst they are exploited by that silly kleptocracy.

AC,

If you want to see Russian equipment being destroyed live just follow:

http://twitter.com/UAWeapons You can also see rows and rows of destroyed Russian equipment.

The Train full of T90s looks awfully familiar to a shot that was put out on Russian propaganda a couple of months ago. To warm your heart there have been 14 Leopard 2 tanks delivered and another 30 T72s from old soviet stocks. The other 590 tanks will come over the next few months.

Also, some spectacular results from the new US JDAMS launched from MIG 29s. With boosters, they have a range of 70km with a 1000kg warhead and an accuracy of within 5m.

After the Russian war crimes of using missiles against civilian buildings and infrastructure, the US and its allies are looking at sending long-range missiles to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Russia's economy is in a tailspin.

Russia is losing this war.

Russia is losing this war.
shadowminister,
There can only be two losers in that conflict, Ukraine & the World ! It all comes down to idealism or survival of mankind !
