This thread makes me laugh sometimes.

The way Russian losses are being reported as so terrible, and that the numbers of losses are so big how can Russia carry on.

A hundred possibly lost on one airplane, is not nice for the parents, but this is war, soldiers die,, and for every one person lost on that plane Russia have 100, 000 or more ready to fill the space

It is a war - a social media war. Information has always been a option with leaflets etc however using Tinder to target troops, is the modern form of the prostitute spy. Also every troop with a mobile phone is giving away their position.

It's not unheard of that large forces have been beaten. All depends on the tactics and mood of those fighting.
 
If we're to believe Zelenskyy assuming he's still alive then apparently we're (France was mentioned) still suppling military arms to the country. Considering that is by definition interference it ought to have gotten a response from Putin so maybe it's an attempt to goad Russia into attacking NATO?


Putin will not count that as interference.

His meaning, is NATO putting boots on ground in Ukraine.

Same reason NATO saying they will never put boots on ground in this war for any reason, unless Russia attacks a NATO member.

NATO and Putin both know that will escalate fast.

And as deranged as Putin appears, no way he will start that.

And no way will NATO provoke him by putting troops in.
 
Don't think anyone's under any illusions about Russia's historical policy on throwing people at a problem.

Isn't that every nations solution to the problem?

People and media are quick to dismiss the Russians yet both the Americans and ourselves got our backsides handed to us by middle Eastern soldiers using the most basic equipment.

Russia are fighting at least on paper a top 20 army in the world. To be naive about it is only going to cost us in the future if it all goes pear shaped as the vast majority of the Russians by then will be battle hardened.
 
Shocking video of the attack on a hospital this morning, truly sickening.

This is surely embarrassing for Putin and his military, people were saying it’d be done by Thursday.

Imagine the way the D day landings would have been talked about.
The losses that allied forces had on the beaches, most on this thread would be saying the allies could never win, getting obliterated on the beaches, cannot sustain that level of loss.

But back then the allies , as the Russians now, had superiority in numbers,
Hundreds or thousands killed on the beaches yes.

But hundreds of thousands following in to fill the spaces, and push forward, sheer weight of numbers overwhelming defences.

That is where Russia WILL win this, in superiority of numbers in troops, vehicles, planes, everything . Yes they may be older equipment, but there are more of them.

They outnumber Ukranian forces massively, and as NATO will not EVER get involved militarily with boots on the ground Russia just keep going, and vastly outnumber Ukranian defenders.

Yes agree with this, sadly on all counts Russia can trade 100 soldiers for 1 Ukrainian soldier. Without NATO boots on the ground it will be just a matter off time.

It feels like all we can hope for is to get the truth or the rest of the world's take on what is happening to the Russian people and hope this is something they can't stomach

Wrong, you have to look at the Middle East properly.

Look at the Gulf War, the ONLY war out there that was organised and run and carried out in a way to use the Wests might properly.

Started with massive bombardment of key areas and targets, followed by massive numbers of allied tropps on the ground, easily overcoming defences.

None of the other "wars" "battles", "actions" , call them what you will, had that level of united planning and engagement, if all other actions out there had been carried out in the same way the West would have won them all.

Russia could have done the same in Ukraine.

Bombarded everything to dust, from a distance then invade in with tanks and troops.

But they didn't.

The difference being Russia want to cause the minimum amount of collateral damage to infrastructure and buildings etc, as possible.
 
There's been a rather cryptic tweet from US Senator Marco Rubio suggesting something is off with Putin and he wishes he could say more.

There's definitely something we aren't being told here or a significant unknown.

I think Putin is terminally ill or has Parkinson's or something like that. This is basically his last chance to secure a legacy.

Unfortunately, Russian citizens protesting about this will just get a one way trip to the gulags.

There will be disent, and objection to the invasion, but by a minority, the vast majority of the population will just sit back and say nothing.
 
He’s not going to throw everything available at the situation and leave himself undefended in other areas


He does not need to.

For a start, no one is going to attack Russia from any other front.

Secondly Putin does not need to send everything.

Even 10% or 15% will overwhelm Ukraine completely, and not put a significant dent anywhere else.

It's just not random citizens as some of the oligarch's offspring are also criticising it as well as I believe a Russian MP who voted for it.

Not that this will matter, but it possibly might.

As if high ranking people have never dissappeared before, if they take a stand against Putin.

I'm not sure Russia really possesses the amount of precision weapons the west does , we never ever see them used very much in any russian conflict that or they are not as Uber as they make them out to be...

But you could be right in that they want to inflict this kind of damage but it's not going to help them to control Ukraine in the long run?
