'Australia must seriously consider re-introducing a form of national service after NATO warned civilians to prepare for an all-out war with Russia within 20 years, writes Dr. Alexey Muraviev.'

- NATO did not warn 'Australian' citizens you lying POS.
Australia is not at risk of invasion by Russia.
There is no reason for Australians to fight against Russia in Ukraine, Europe or anywhere else.

These EUROTRASH elite, and their Western Neocon friends who seem to have this attitude of pontificating and dictating to everyone else, want to round up the peasants to die for their global causes...
- Which included starting the damn fight in the first place.

And we are a gutless bunch pissants, if we are turning to the Pacific Islanders saying "Would you at all, possibly, mind dying for us in Europe by any chance?"

It's time the people told the elite class 'F-ck off and fight your own damn wars'
- They are the ones causing and promoting them.

Baldrick,

The only [deleted abuse] that believe that the occupied land belongs to Russia are Russian trolls and Putin [deleted abuse] fanboys. Russia is burning through its soldiers, aircraft, tanks etc at a rate that Russia can't replace. Ukraine is now destroying oil depots and refineries 1000s of km from Ukraine.

Russia's reserves are running out, Russia's airlines are crippled possibly permanently and Russia's pissant economy is circling the drain.

Russians are freezing and their infrastructure is failing.

Russia is losing this war.

"Russia is burning through its soldiers, aircraft, tanks etc at a rate that Russia can't replace."

You're living in a fantasy world Charter Boat

Russia has 140 million people Ukraine has 20 million people.
Russians are killing Ukrainians at multiples higher than their losses.
NATO's cupboard is empty, and future production takes time, money can't fix this.
Russian production far exceeds that of the Collective West
They have allies who will support them if needed
They are not going to collapse economically, and the west is not going to cause civil unrest or oust Putin.
When Ukraine runs out of shells their artillery will be useless
When Ukraine runs out of bullets their rifles will be useless
And they're running out of men to replace losses,
Their lines will run thin and then they will break
Their soldiers are not volunteering to fight, they are being dragged off the street.
That says they don't want to die for a war Ukraine is losing anyway.

"Ukraine is now destroying oil depots and refineries 1000s of km from Ukraine."
- It was probably always going to come to this as they get more desperate.
You can probably expect to see more of these missile and drone attacks inside Russia,
- But it's not really a sign that Ukraine is winning.

It may in fact be a sign that they have given up trying to retake ground, because they can't do it and they take too many losses, and are fighting in defence and looking to focus on other forms of attacks.

Baldrick,

Ukraine's population is 44m, not 20m [deleted abuse]. Ukraine has just got Euro 50 000 000 000 in aid on top of the weapons and ammunition it is receiving from the EU.

Russia has just lost another Black Sea ship, an SU25 and an SU34 this week and a few aircraft in Crimea yesterday along with ammunition storage and AA radar systems.

Shadowminister,

A lot of Ukrainians have fled the country and many in recently invaded Ukraine have been forcibly deported to Russia.

What impresses me is the fantastic job the Ukrainian forces have done repelling frequent Russian meat waves and armoured assaults with cheap drones and cluster munitions. After that hit on the corvette I get the impression that the Ukrainians have greatly improved their capability in recent months.

"After that hit on the corvette I get the impression that the Ukrainians have greatly improved their capability in recent months."

No, I think you are reading the situation wrong Fester,
- Sure they've probably made improvements in their drone warfare, both sides have but what you're seeing is that their war is moving towards an insurgency.

They can't retake territory.
They can't even put up adequate defense any more, they have minimal air defense.
They're sending whole female units in, and they will be slaughtered.
They've used up their last reservists, any attempt to bring in more troops to plug holes means moving troops from other areas of the battlefield - and thus thinning their defensive lines.

They will likely replace Valerie Zuluznhy with Kyrylo Budanov, which reflects transition away from recapturing territory towards insurgency.

Avdeevka is being cut in half, and looks likely to fall soon.
The West is going nuts over the Putin / Carlson interview.
