The Ukiebros won't be done until they have fought to the last Ukrainian:
Washington Will Fight Russia to the Last Ukrainian - Kiev faces a choice: make peace for its people or war for its supposed friends? (2022) Russia’s war against Ukraine rages on. The U.S. and Europe continue to support Kiev. But not, it seems, to make peace. Rather, the allies are prepared to back the Zelensky government as long as it fights Moscow to the last Ukrainian—which has always been the West’s approach to Kiev. “Next to starting a war, the most reprehensible act would be keeping one going when more people will die with little hope the outcome will improve,” yet evidence suggests “the U.S. is inhibiting a diplomatic solution in Ukraine.” |

Article link The original poster, who is a curious conduit for constant pro-Russian posts seems to have a problem with cause and effect. One could just as readily conclude that the delay in arms and aid, which in all likelihood is only starting to make it to tropes based on the recent passage, made Ukrainian lines vulnerable to the current breakthrough. Logic doesn’t matter much though when all you do is parrot pro Putin talking points - either out of ignorance or complicity - and regardless, all of which promote outcomes and viewpoints (ie “this is all a waste of tax money!)” that further Russia’s aim of totally capturing Ukraine and subjugating its people and resources be force. |

Imagine betting on the losing horse for a race that's already underway. Most people with common sense wouldn't make those bets, they understand it's just throwing money away! Part of propaganda is convincing the other side they lost and resistance is futile no matter how strong you are. Biden did it a lot during covid with his incessant speeches and demands for me to get vaccinated. I refused. Guess who won in the end? As a reminder Russia is on day 811 of a war it declared victory on during day 2. Repeating the same myth is not going to make it true 2 and a half years ago or now. As to your "major gains" comment, let's discuss that. But there is no reason for objective joy. Because if Zhukov had joyfully reported to Stalin that “in a lightning-fast two-year raid we took an important village,” then the story of the glorious marshal would have reached us in a very different form. And if you count Marinka or Artemovsk as a percentage of losses from the total potential of the army, then even Kramatorsk and Slavyansk you will immediately want to count. Of the large cities after the blitzkrieg, we have only Kherson (although they surrendered, but did not take), Rostov and Voronezh (successfully captured from Wagner, with almost no losses). Well, this is kind of the result, not the best. So if anyone has gone into blank optimism, then take with you the red lines and the understanding that we have not yet seriously begun anything. To tell the truth, our strategy is incomprehensible even to ourselves. This is convenient: without a victory strategy, everything can be passed off as victory, and spies will not be able to get hold of our main military secret. But there is one caveat. Two years of fighting without a strategy is already a record; we have no one else to compete with in this regard. But people are proud of their virginity at 16-18 years old, and not at 70-80 years old. Until there is a clear, understandable strategy, there will be no hope for positivity. https://t.me/shouvalov/174 Russians wanting to see the truth are seeing what you cannot. Originally Posted By Cincinnatus: How many Russian soldiers died in the past few days “taking” those abandoned villages? lol Zero. Stalinium beats western steel   Originally Posted By SoundFX: Don’t worry. No territory Russia is gaining is important or strategic. The land only becomes those things when Russia loses it. Fortunately for us, the money for the weapons pales in comparison to what it will cost to rebuild Ukraine. That’s the bloated elephant in the room, but the cult likes to keep that part quiet. Might as well put ourselves on the meat hook to rebuild Gaza while we are at it. It’ll be us or the Chinese for both.

The Russians moved up to Ukraine's defense line but have not engaged directly. I think fhey are hurting in the south and want Ukraine to move troops north. Ulraine was probably waiting to engage them on their own soill because unfortunately they are not allowed to use many of the weapons on Russian territory. The Russians have about 2 battalions involved now out of about 50k total (30k recently moved from the south).

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By victorgonzales: Don't be surprised if they make illegals that offer for citizenship. Then they not only get to keep that war going but have a military that will work for cheaper and is loyal to the government and not the citizens of this country or the constitution. I'm sure that will work out well. The TASS site has already claimed that the CIA is recruiting drug cartels to fill Ukraine's ranks. I think that was fake/propaganda, but its not that far fetched to imagine something like that happening in the future |

One of the few things that I fully support my tax dollars being used for. Ukrainians killing Russians for the win.
Now we need to remove any limits on how our weapons can be used, then start the next aid package rolling. |

This is Russia making a big push before that aid arrives. Should have arrived six months ago but the GOP House played chicken with it
Biden is also to blame, he should have approved ATACMS and other things on day one, not dribbled it. |
