"The Europeans were so pissed off that they gave him billions of euros"
- The Europeans are such pissweak lapdogs of the US that after the US blew up Nordstream, and destroyed their economies, put thousands out of work, increased the cost of living for all their citizens and sent them into recession all people like Olaf Sholtz can do is get down on their hands and knees and put their tongue up the United States arse in constant praise.

Their own people might freeze this winter because they can't afford to keep warm, that's for sure.

AC,

Alexander Mercouris is a buffoon who has been consistently wrong. He has no special access to the news and simply says what you want to hear.

You have never provided any proof of your BS.

Russia is losing this war.

"You have never provided any proof of your BS.

Russia is losing this war."

And you've never provided any proof of yours,
- Right back at ya mate, you stepped in your own turd again.

Putin and China just scored a devastating blow to the U.S. and Europe

Everything I've been saying for years is turning out to be true, charter boat.
The war in Ukraine is just one part, there's also the economic war.
Russia is forecast for growth by the IMF in 2024,
(replaced it's oil and gas sales to Europe to China and India
(making China stronger and Europe and the West weaker)
the US not so well and Germany and Europe - one is and the other headed for - recession.
Good luck this winter Germany
(US lapdogs at their own citizens expense)

Baldrick,

I've provided plenty of evidence that Russia is losing. Your answer is simply to deny the facts and then repeat Russian lies.

This is not a short war, and prolonged wars are a battle of logistics. The 50+ countries actively supporting Ukraine have about 70x the manufacturing capability of Russia and far more advanced tech.

The Ukrainian army has built up a bigger, better-trained and armed force than the Russians have with more tanks AFVs and firepower than before Russia's illegal invasion, and they have been very actively hunting down Russian hardware far faster than Russia can replace it.

Russia's army is low on tanks, ammunition and men and Russian civilians can now see drone strikes and sabotage on Russian territory and 100s of funerals of their sons and husbands every day.

The Russian economy is running out of reserves and sanctions are getting tighter and tighter with secondary sanctions now being applied to sanctions busters.

Russia is losing this war.

"Russian forces continue to inflict an effective fire impact on the enemy. Its losses this month alone totaled over 16,000 troops, 16 aircraft, 5 helicopters, 466 drones, over 400 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, and 238 field artillery pieces and mortars," Shoigu said during a conference call.

He added that 196 HIMARS rockets, 16 HARM rockets and 29 Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles were intercepted and destroyed during the reviewed period."

Keep on winning SM

I heard there was an attack on Ukrainian decision making centres last night that was so big it registered on the richter scale.
