International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

[San Marino]

Why are you such a simpleton? One of Putin's few remaining allies is gone now. This is a humiliating loss for Russia and they're probably going to lose their airfields there too. It has dented Kremlin prestige on the global stage and could weaken Putin’s hand in any negotiations on Ukraine.

Now desperately trying to save face with your earlier stupid statement.
What exactly has Syria given Russia as an ally? Airfields? Nope. Russian influence is spread throughout various countries in the world. Syria was just one of them. Iran, China, and North Korea are much bigger allies to Russia than Syria. This is a completely different topic from Ukraine.

 

[San Marino]

It's called feint in military lingo!

That is what I said. Do I need to re-post what I wrote for you to read for the 3rd time?

* Other similar terms: Ruse, mock attack, bluff, ploy, subterfuge, deception, gambit. Your own English lesson on completely useless terms. You do enjoy spending time on the insignificant.

You don't get it. You sound like an emotionally stunted child showing off. No one cares.

 

[Limbo Pete]

Indeed.
You just hate when someone writes something that does not fit your narrative don't you Limbo?

Bro I don't think your remedial ass even knows what a narrative is lol

Yeah, neither did the North Vietnamese. They did just fine with what they had. Farmers by day and soldiers by night.

Non sequitur. This is irrelevant.

Ukraine's 2024 Army has been shaken by internal scandals, generals being fired and soldiers deserting. Yeah, all those western tanks and planes did not seem to have made much of a difference in pushing Russia back to its border. Not to mention that much of the money given to Ukraine has gone unaccounted for. I'm sure Zelensky has pocketed a good portion of it.

Largely Russian talking points propaganda.

The reason for no one technology making a difference is because US and NATO did not provide such weapons in a timely manner. Ukrainians were also given multiple restrictions for how those weapons systems could be used. Ukraine has been fighting with one arm tied behind their back. Ukrainians also could not implement a lot of NATO strategies of combined arms due to not having all the resources.

Zelenskyy was financially well off prior to becoming president. Your baseless accusations are just stupid.

Zelensky is a liar. He will say anything to make Ukraine look good in this conflict and get financial support. Putin and Zelensky are cut from the same cloth. Either way, the Ukrainian Army today is a shadow of itself in 2022. Once Trump comes into office this war will end, and Ukraine will maintain the borders it currently has. No NATO membership. Three years of fighting for nothing. 400,000 casualties for nothing. Now Ukraine will come to know and understand what Americans went through in Vietnam and Iraq.

Complete nonsense. At worst this is akin to Soviet-Finnish war.

Yes how dare Ukrainians fight and defend their sovereignty.


But you know all this...feels like you say all this either to 'own the libs' or as some weird contrarian schtick.

The American dream

It's what every soldier wants. It's why the Americans take away the phones and prefer the buddy system. It ain't gay if you're winning.

 

[The Diplomat]

No, you are putting words in my mouth. Here is what I said.

You are one of the dumbest posters in this thread. Always with your 'gotcha' bullshit statements.

San Marino telling others they're dumb over military lingo is such a San Marino thing to do.

You seem to care. So much so that you responded back.
It is a competition to see who can insult me the worse. In that sense everyone cares.
You don't get it. The majority of folks in this thread are idiots and hate my comments. I don't care.
Folks with no military experience that have no clue as to how US military deployments and awards work.

 

[San Marino]

So much shit, hate, and insults written in this thread that is now down to a page a day. Ukraine seems to matter very little these days.

It always matters. You're just here to remind us why, right?

Non sequitur. This is irrelevant.

No, actually it is relevant.

Largely Russian talking points propaganda.

No, largely general comments. It's just not what you want to hear. It does not follow your narrative.

Ukrainians were also given multiple restrictions for how those weapons systems could be used. Ukraine has been fighting with one arm tied behind their back. Ukrainians also could not implement a lot of NATO strategies of combined arms due to not having all the resources.

Nonsense. The Ukrainian Army was doing fine until the spring of 2023. That is when cracks began to appear within the NCO/officer corps. Also, military officers and Zelensky. To add insult to injury, male age conscripts began to leave Ukraine and are currently deserting the Ukrainian Army. Once a leadership problem in the ranks begins, it only goes downhill.

Zelenskyy was financially well off prior to becoming president. Your baseless accusations are just stupid.

Well, he is 10 times richer now. Watch that little squirt flee to the US as Assad fled to Russia when Trump comes to power and diminishes Ukrainian aid. Major EU support will stop, and Russia will be in a better position to negotiate an end to the war. Putin will have much more leverage at the end of the conflict than Zelensky.

Yes how dare Ukrainians fight and defend their sovereignty.

Oh, they can fight all they want. That does not mean they will win the conflict, as it is becoming apparent.

 

[Devil's_Advocate]

No, actually it is relevant.

It's not. It's moronic and has nothing to do with anything. You could have used literally any war or conflict ever with same results

No, largely general comments. It's just not what you want to hear. It does not follow your narrative.

Or maybe I recognize Russian propaganda better than you. I follow it in English and Russian. You're just roughly parroting Russian propaganda and little else.

I wouldn't call that doing fine

Russia is facing the same issues but it's odd that you don't think that's a problem for Russia. You are always hypercritical of anything Ukraine but gloss over everything to do with Russia...any reason for that?

Well, he is 10 times richer now. Watch that little squirt flee to the US as Assad fled to Russia when Trump comes to power and diminishes Ukrainian aid. Major EU support will stop, and Russia will be in a better position to negotiate an end to the war. Putin will have much more leverage at the end of the conflict than Zelensky.

Your proof for that is what?

Oh yeah Russia has all the leverage now...and that's clear because they offered zero help to Armenia and then did the same in Syria. Russia has become a joke. Maybe it's the nearly 9% inflation or 21% bank rate...that has you gloating this hard...

So in your great wisdom you expect Zelenskyy to flee now after Russians have been unable to do much of anything whereas at the time in 2022 when everyone (including me) thought Ukraine would fall within a couple days he stayed and uttered his famous words (I need ammo not a ride)....

Oh, they can fight all they want. That does not mean they will win the conflict, as it is becoming apparent.

You expose your ignorance with every post.

Zelensky claims only 43000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed since start of the war. He's full of shit as usual.

Some 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since Russia's full-scale invasion began, Volodymyr Zelensky has said in a rare admission of the extent of the nation's casualties.

Ukraine war latest: 43,000 dead, Volodymyr Zelensky says in rare update

The Ukrainian president also claimed that 198,000 Russian soldiers had been killed and 550,000 wounded.

www.bbc.com

The numbers they are drafting isn't even replacing the rate of Ukrainian battlefield losses.

Sources of the BBC Ukrainian service in the General Staff previously reported that the current pace of mobilization does not even cover the losses.

Дискуссия о мобилизации с 18 лет в Украине не угасает: США обещают помочь, у Киева другая позиция - BBC News Русская служба

Если Украина снизит мобилизационный возраст, США обещают предоставить необходимую экипировку и обучение молодым бойцам, заявил представитель Госдепартамента США Мэтью Миллер. В самой Украине среди военных и экспертов единого мнения на этот счет нет.

www.bbc.com

They've drafting approximately 30,000 new troops per month since May last year.

Three military experts with knowledge of the figures said that Kyiv had been drafting up to 30,000 people a month since May, when a new conscription law took effect. That is two to three times more than during the last winter months, they said, and about the same number that the Russian Army is recruiting each month.

Ukraine Is Conscripting Thousands More Troops. But Are They Ready? (Published 2024)

Large numbers of recruits will arrive at the front in the coming weeks, soldiers and military analysts said, but some are poorly trained or out of shape.

www.nytimes.com

This means Ukraine is taking 30K+ casualties per month. These are all based off of Western and Ukrainian sources, in case certain idiots here keep screaming about fake Russian news.

That would explain why all of the arm chair judges have Ukraine winning this fight…

lol, no it doesn't. it means they are trying to get 30k a month to replace casualties, rotate troops, and build up forces for future offensives and defensives. jesus christ get the russian dick out of your mouth.
