"Russia is losing this war."

You want to know why this statement is absolute fantasy?
- Because Ukraine is completely incapable of taking back territory or winning the war
Russia can replace lost troops
(but it is building up it's military to 1.5 million anyway)
Ukraine can't.

So pop on your pj's and go back to dreamland.

Baldrick,

Do you want to know why it's not a fantasy? Russia cannot win this war.

Firstly, Ukraine can and has recaptured territory in Kherson Kharkiv, Robotyne, and South of Bahkmut so it can and does advance.

Secondly, Russia is not prepared for a long war, and its huge number of tanks, planes, helicopters, ships, air defence systems, artillery etc are being continuously depleted at a rate that Russia cannot replace and Russia is chewing through its stores. While Russia can call up many soldiers for the slaughter they are running out of weapons and the Russian public's patience for a continuous slaughter of their menfolk in a war without end is not limitless and led to the evacuation of Afghanistan.

Thirdly, Ukraine is getting plenty of ammunition and more and more powerful weapons including in the next few months F16s with their array of new weapons which only an idiot would dismiss, and the long-range ATACMS which can take out the Kerch bridge.

Fourthly Russia's economy is taking a huge beating and is running huge deficits. Russia's GDP is less than Italy's and cannot match the weapons output of the 51 countries supporting Ukraine. Inflation is ramping up with interest rates and the Ruble is collapsing. 1/3 of the entire Russian budget is spent on the war and there is a shortage of men to run businesses as nearly 3 million have left since 2014, 1.5 million are now in the army (mostly in logistics) and about 300,000 are dead or badly injured.

I really hope they hurry up and send the F-16s soon.
Russia has missiles that can travel 400klms so there's no way they're getting near the frontline.
Ugh. I guess we wont get any footage of them being blown to pieces
That is if you can find someone to fly them.

How come we don't see explosions like Israel did in Ukraine?
Oh yeah that's right US junk only works on peasant people not real militaries.

Can you tell Biden to hurry up, send all his junk, and to give it his best shot.
Btw, Russians are now moving east of Stepove to Berdychi
If they take it the situation for Ukraine in that city will become critical.

Send all the weapons, not sure there are any people left to use them but great for Russian fireworks.

Slava Ukraini!

The US is spending 89 billion a month in interest and it will keep going higher.
I hope they keep spending. Send more weapons, send everything.

Great discussion.

Hey Charter Boat,
How do you think America would go opening a third front against Iran?

I think Iranian proxies are just going to constantly niggle at them.
Not enough to start a full blown war, but enough to keep them constantly on their toes firing off 50(qty) US$1 million dollar missiles a day at a dozen or so cheap drones with a couple of US servicemen killed every now and again.

Enough to wear them down with attrition that puts pressure on their military manufacturing to the point they either have to start a new war against Iran, which would take a million men (that the US doesn't have) or leave.

If I was Iran, that's what I would do.
And the US has plenty of bases in that neck of the woods to choose from.
Just rotate between the targets and never stop, keep it going every day, day after day - and deny any involvement.
