Battalion of Russian conscripts destroyed in Luhansk Oblast, hundreds killed

A battalion of Russian conscripts from Voronezh Oblast (Russia) was destroyed near the village of Makiyivka, Svatove district, Luhansk Oblast by a Ukrainian strike; hundreds of Russian occupiers were killed.

Conscripts were reportedly just left on the front line to be shot/blown to pieces today near Svatove. Perhaps ~500 killed. What a sorry state the Russian army is in.
 
If they were bunched up together without command, commisars at their back and no/minimal training then I can easily see artillery flattening that many 'troops'. Likely some nasty anti-personnel HIMARS nastiness going as well.

Just seen pretty brutal video on telegram of Ukrainian drone bomb dropped on soldier in foxhole head blown to smitherines and body twitching. (I actually see loads of dead body ones and dont really bother me but that was awful)

Also amount of dead bodies I see on there makes you wonder how many have just been left to rot, all rather sad really probably loads of bodies never to be recovered to there families.

He had the option go to war, or go to jail.

Seems to be the Russian way. If something hasn't worked just keep doing it until it works or everyone is dead.

Unsupported armour seems to be the norm, even this far into the war.

I think that is too simplistic. I think the “Go to Jail” option actually just sends you to the front line anyway in a convict battalion.

Either way they end up at the front and in the same foxholes / waves of soldiers being blown up on camera.

Everyday normal people across the US are genuinely scared right now, so any party who says "we'll stop giving out billions to foreigners and spend it on you instead" is going to do well in any elections.

Of course I could be completely wrong and next week it could be the Democrats who have a "Blue Wave", sweeping the Republicans away, but I doubt thats what will happen, so Ukraine had best make sure it's not totally dependent on the US (and other nations) as the "cost of living" hits hard over Winter and they all start to look after their own citizens first, aka "what I said would happen way back in March-ish but was laughed at for saying".

Yeah as I said in my post you quoted, I'm only guessing, but it seems like the rest of the western world is guessing the same as me about the Cost of Living for its own people being a concern for the continuation of support for Ukraine, odd that............................

I can’t see how the war will be sustained if US cuts funding. It would undermine NATO and make other countries less willing to participate if they do not feel the US is willing to support them. The US is the big kid in the room giving everyone else the confidence to stand up to the bully.
 
Putin will likely be glued to the TV watching the midterm election results come in. Its not looking good for the Democrats and that is not going to be a good thing for Ukraine. They could ram through a lot of spending and raise the debt ceiling in the lame duck session and that would help but that funding will only last so long. We could really do with a nice mild winter and a Democratic miracle.

Have you been following the election? Kevin McCathy has said no blank cheque for Ukraine. And lots of House candidates saying they'll oppose Ukraine spending. Hopefully the Senate GOP will make them see sense and funding will continue but many in the GOP see this as a way to hurt Biden.

They are big on the military, but not big on helping foreign countries. They see Ukraine as an unnecessary drain on the US military and the taxpayers' wallet. MAGA Republicans have been very open about their desire to terminate military support for Ukraine, and they're campaigning on this issue with great success.
