International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

[Cole train]

I think it boils down to:
While in theory both countries have enough manpower to fight for decades, it's easier for Russia to draw from its larger population. Tons of poor people in Russia that are willing to fight for a better salary.
Russia is able to produce or repurpose old soviet equipment at a faster pace than the West is able or willing to supply Ukraine. Despite Western equipment being superior.
Pitiful amounts such as 31 Abrams or 100 Leo 2 simply cannot cover the entire front line.
As crude as Russian training might be they're continually rolling out equipment with crews that can operate it to a degree.
Sanctions cause trouble to the Russian economy but they're mostly irrelevant to the short term manufacturing of military equipment because Russia is able to circumvent it due to its large oil and gold reserves.
Russian front line troops have inferior training compared to Western forces but they're similar to what Ukraine is able to provide.
Russian officers that deal with logistics, troop employment etc are professional and have been able to adapt.

There was a interesting notice about soviet tech.While it loses to western stuff in combat ability, it wins in logistics

Basically easy to fix ,easy to maintain.

In shitshow like this where production is everything that pretty important imo

Hitler isn't threat to U.S and Japan isn't serious threat. Make America Great Again. MAGA 1940 th.

There are a lot of things we soon will see.
For exapmle deal about tanks.
Poland had supplied Ukraine 350 main battle tanks in exchange for promise to get 116 old Abrams tanks...
Thus far they had get 69 tanks from this deal.
Next stuff isn't fun for U.S as weapons supplier / seller and Biden is responsible here by 100%.
And there is another sales deal for $ for 250 tanks.
Where is batch with 20 HIMARS launchers ? 18 and where disappeared 2 launchers they are ready to pay for ....
It is.....nightmare...
SK gladly will replace delayed supplies....

I dunno, those poll numbers might say one thing , but reality of things might be different. Those being polled might be afraid of saying anything near the truth. I realize many are totally brainwashed against the West but at the same point the amount of woman knowing they lost their men is growing.

Yea who the hell would want to tell teh truth to any pollster in Russia? I would say I love Putin no matter what. Unless it's me and my wife a lone in a room with no windows.

Press Release
Washington, DC — Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11), a leading advocate in Congress to support Ukraine’s fight for democracy, signed a discharge petition to bring the Senate-passed national security supplemental legislative package to the House floor for a vote, after resistance from the House GOP majority.
“Speaker Johnson has failed to meet the urgency of this moment and pass the legislation we need to maintain America’s global leadership and our responsibility to our democratic allies. In the military, we had a saying that the Speaker should take to heart: lead, follow, or get out of the way. Let’s be clear – there is no time to waste: Ukraine is already forced to ration ammunition for everything from cannon artillery to small arms, all while Russia works to subvert sanctions and ramp up their military production. So today, we are moving forward to get critical aid to Ukraine to continue their success against Putin’s invasion, protect our ally Israel from Hamas and Hezbollah attacks, ensure humanitarian aid reaches innocent Palestinian civilians, and support Taiwan from CCP aggression. If Speaker Johnson and MAGA Republicans refuse to act, history will judge them harshly and the impact to American national security will be felt for generations to come,” said Rep. Sherrill.
A discharge petition is a procedural tool that would force a vote on the legislation once it receives 218 signatures. Rep. Sherrill is continuing to make the case to Republican colleagues about supporting Ukraine in the face of Russia’s brutal invasion.
Congresswoman Sherrill is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and served in the Navy for almost 10 years as a helicopter pilot and Russian policy officer. As a Russian policy officer, she worked on implementing our nuclear treaty obligations and oversaw the relationship between the US Navy and Russian Federation Navy. She now serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the new House Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). "

Some hard words from Vladimir Vladimirovich:

When asked by state television presenter, Dmitry Kiselyov whether a nuclear conflict with the West was 'inevitable', Putin explained he did not yet have a reason to launch nuclear weapons on Ukraine.

"I don’t think that everything is rushing directly towards this, but we are ready," he said.

Putin added that if US troops were deployed to Ukraine or occupied territory that Russia claims as its own, it would be considered as 'unacceptable intervention' in the conflict.

"I have said many times that [Ukraine] is a matter of life and death for us," he said.

"Western elites have been accustomed for centuries to fill their bellies with human flesh and their pockets with money. But they must understand that their vampire ball is ending."

Russia says there can be no peace in Ukraine until Kiev surrenders four regions in the east and the south of the country that Moscow claims as its own.

He's been threatening nuclear war since the beginning. Media loves to ask that question whenever they want the public to pull support for Ukraine.

My own congressman will not support the efforts for the discharge. There goes my vote to a frendler to Ukraine Democrat. Almost all members of AOC'S caucus will not support the bill because it comes with Israel funding. I am starting to believe what happened in Israel an the ongoing conditions was to freeze up Ukraine aid. Putin playing us for suckers as well as Saudi Arabia. Israel PM is very much in involved in some form.

Hey Trump Europe's already out spending US an providing housing for millions of Ukrainian an even Russians who ran away. But his butt lickers will run with the lie over social media.

"
After Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán claimed in a recent interview that former President Donald Trump told him he would suspend U.S. military aid to Ukraine to end its conflict with Russia, the Trump campaign is doubling down on Trump's previous comments that other countries should pay more of the cost of the Russia-Ukraine war.

"President Trump has repeatedly stated that a top priority in his second term will be to quickly negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war," Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement when asked about Orbán's remarks on the subject.
