  • A strong sentiment following this conflict centers around Russia being so shit at war they can’t even beat Ukraine.

    On point for a non credible defense message space.

    Ukraine is fighting a literal world war alone and taking the kind of losses in a year most NATO countries wouldn’t accept in a decade.

    The humanity of the situation is that Ukraine is being told to fight by countries that don’t really care at all for their losses. When they persist to exist where others fell it’s credited to Russian incompetence as opposed to fighting skill and leadership.

    The history is that Ukraine was a buffer between Russia and Europe. Civilian infrastructure was over built to withstand a NATO invasion until Russia could counter attack. That’s why Asov steel works held out as a notable example. The extremely resistant electrical grid is another.

    The reality is that when Ukraine no longer wanted to be a buffer between Europe and Russia decided what Ukraine would be. the west sided with Russia over Crimea. Then the Donbos ‘independent’ regions.

    A decade long genocide has been executed in steps against Ukraine.

    In that time the collective of NATO can’t even produce enough artillery shells to put Ukraine at a 2:1 disadvantage.

    No opinions here matter. None have any value beyond glib entertainment.

    There was a 5 minute video posted here about if a guided munition was an anime girlfriend.

    A shit comment about Ukraine fighting better than NATO would isn’t out of line here.


  • On paper it isn’t even close.

    NATO is not even willing to let someone else fight and win but magically when the casualties are theirs they’re totally gonna own the Russians?

    It’s the same kind of numerical thinking that lead most of the world to think Russia was going to win in the opening weeks of the attack on Kiev . More money and better weapons will equal a quick and decisive win.

    Russia has absorbed many hundreds of thousand of casualties. Ukraine has no choice but to fight .

    Reasonable chance that NATO has trouble sustaining support for the kind of troop losses needed for a war.



  • It seems to me that people keep begging on Ukraine. How about Russia was all of that and a bag of chips but Ukraine was developed for decades of Soviet rule to be a troop sponge where wave after wave of nato troops die and die and die keeping Russia safe.

    Ukraine was made to be a rock on which superior armies dash themselves on until they break apart.

    After seeing how NATO advised the Ukrainian counter attack to go I’m certain Russia would be in Poland by now if NATO was on the ground.
