I had posted in march 2022 th that biggest problem will be ukrainians not located in Ukraine and that things will slowly warm up.
Hate level caused by declaring that ukrainians aren't nation and national identity....
Number of ukr origin ppl living in west+ russia was higher than number of ppl living in Ukraine...even before 2014 th.
Hate level is just starting to warm up slowly.......

I can proffer my guess IMO it will make the Ukraine respecters upset.

I would like to know what your estimated numbers are. It is a guess, much like mine. I've been wrong before. I think most people would be shocked at the real numbers for this conflict. For Ukraine it has always remained a well-guarded secret.

Ukraine can commit 100% to a war in their own territory, Russia can't.

What does this mean? If you commit 100% does that mean you are going to win?
That would be @Rational Poster philosophy from MMA or the UFC. As long as a fighter is 100% committed, he will win the fight. What if both fighters are 100% committed?

For Ukraine and Russia it is classified info.
Belarus had put all perssonel from cleaner till directors in some hospitals under NDA, also clerks in some institutions and they are warned by KGB about things that will happen if .....

You are making assumptions again, you already predicted long ago that UKR would be finished by now but they are still here not kissing Putlers boots.

No, I never predicted that. When was long ago? Of course it is an assumption. I have a right to make those just like you do.

They changed their tactics after the initial loses at the beginning of the counter offensive and are striking well behind enemy lines into ammo depots and other important targets while pounding Russia troops sitting in their mine fields and trenches. I've read many different articles about Russia is having a man power problem of their own as they continue to lose more men then UKR.

This part is good.
Those are small strikes. I don't believe it will make much of a difference. It is a 500-mile front and 100 miles deep. Ukraine has done well in some areas like Robotyne, but even there, it only moved 6 miles south through scattered defenses. They have not hit anything dense yet and took high casualties during that 10-mile move. In other areas it has not moved at all and instead Russia is the one who gained ground. Both sides are having manpower shortages, but Russia still has a large pool of men it can draft from. Ukraine does not. This has been Ukraine's Achiles heel from day one.

Interesting. Ukraine does have an Airborne Brigade:
The 25th Airborne Brigade "Sicheslav" is an airborne formation of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces. It is the only airborne unit of Ukrainian Air Assault Forces which has BMD-1 and BMD-2 airborne infantry fighting vehicles in its inventory. In addition, it is the only unit which can be dropped anywhere by parachute, together with their armored vehicles, from II-76MD and An-70 aircraft.

This guy is a liar, loser and fat.
He starts off with a lot of fluff, he starts off with they are both losing…. Tucker is on the money, the success of Ukr is over reported and russias flaws also over reported. Complete waste of time from a lard ass. Colonel inaccurate about the amount of Russian troops available based on tic tok, yet he doesn’t provide what the counts are

nothing more than beating neocon drums, the whole point of the video was to make it seem the war is not completely lost….. not about why are we involved….

What does this guy being overweight have to do with his actual points?

Colonel MacGregor is an embarrassment and sellout to his country.

Yes, there's a battle being fought on the information front. I am all for it showing Ukrainian successes. Fuck Russia and everyone who intentionally or unintentionally peddles their bullshit.

They just threatened nato but they are always making threats

So let me get this straight countries that have been supposed friends of the US are actively talkings about joining China an Russia in BRICS? The US is about to announce two massive breakthroughs in jet engine design.

Should we tell countries who join BRICS to f themselves in access to this game changing technology? A other major breakthroughs? The engine will make Mach 4 plus in flight for passenger plane a reality.

Let's face it China an Russia have yet to deploy 5th generation fighters in any real application. So any claims they are ahead of the US sure sounds like crap. I think we need to evaluate our relationships for the future especially in the commercial flight front.

 

[SandisLL]

A lot of GOP ppl are thinking that U.S might use Russia as some kind of buffer vs China.
It is laughable, Russia is China's vassal .... Ofc russians are thinking that they will reach world hegemony while aren't capable. Dependence from China increases each day.
Pakistan does have 0 respect to Russia... crude oil sales contracts prepared in Pakistan, Russia might only sign all this with 0 changes or piss off.
Unlike west, India, China and Pakistan, even Iran doesn't have any fear from Russia.

Looks that world hegemony really will change... more and more.

 

[SandisLL]

If except Crimea and russian areas very close to Ukraine, drones attacks most likely are done from....Russia.
Deliver drone's parts, assemble and ....launch.
This also a bit explains why cheap drones might overcome air defense because russia does have multi layered air defense systems networks and is excepting strikes from Ukraine.

McGregors claims about Ukraines casualties are around 2x what the Russian MOD claims to have inflicted.

That alone makes anyone who interviews or listens to him as an objective commentator on the war a moron.

McGregors an f'ing trader as well as that little dips sh@t Mike Flynn.

Ukraine had started to manufacture somewhere in basements combat octacopter ... this stuff might be disassembled and assembled multiple times, might carry more than 30 kg payload.

Russia for close range video info getting more and more uses even cheap chinesse quadrocopters, this civilian stuff .... Sometimes they are " doctored " in Russia before usage, sometimes no.

 

[SandisLL]

If about Wagner I'm more interested where in reality is Utkin because this guy is considerably more dangerous than Prigozin.
He today had been colonel or general in GRU if he even for Putin wasn't too much radical Nazi.
Even some russian Nazis considered him as too radical.
Actually Hitler might be happy to see this person as GESTAPO chief.
Prigi if compare with him is kinder garden kid.

So they got by the first line of defense. Isn't the 1st line the hardest one to get by?

No. 1st line of defence is usually a screen to disrupt, slow down and damage the enemy before they hit the 2nd line. The defenders usually fallback to the 2nd, 3rd line as needed with the last line usually held the hardest by the defenders since its the last line.

I've heard second and third are absolute hell. All are within 20 km range. After the third it's basically 50 km of free land to the sea. Getting past the third is nearly impossible though in 2023.

There has been talk of Russia (over) committing to their first line of defence. Time will tell.

Ukraine found that the grenade that Russia dropping on from drones came from China no official announcement by the US that China been aiding Russia though that has to change soon.
