Stop deceiving yourselves. At this point you guys should be ashamed of yourselves that the whole Russia whose military is second only to America is still struggling with a little country with no
ranking in the world best military.

Pro_putin's delusion grows by day.

NATO-trained Afghan soldiers joining Russia.

"They are offered $1,500 to $3,000 a month for 6 months of training in Russia, $7,000 a month on the battlefield, and Russian citizenship for them and their next of kin."

History is replete with such ironies.

Mumu talk.Russia that is taking more lands in Ukraine even with all the weapons 30 nations NATO has delivered to Ukraine.
I just pray nuclear is ruled out..

If you want to know the different between Ukrainian military and the Iraqis military. Just checkout what Russia did in Syria.

The question how many anti-tank weapon did Iraq possess? How many portable anti-air weapon like Stinger did Iraq possess? Did Iraq get any military aid?

The two wars are not the same.

Jens Stoltenberg chooses his words carefully. The strait-laced Norwegian secretary-general of Nato is famous for his ability to stick rigidly to talking points. So when he warned this week that the west’s “under strain” defence sector had “a problem”, he meant it.
Russia’s war against Ukraine is almost a year old. Tens of thousands have been killed. Western governments have provided more than $110bn worth of support to Kyiv, according to the Kiel Institute(opens a new window), with $38bn in the form of weapons.
But in many capitals, defence ministers are being informed by their generals that there is precious little left to give. Warehouses and dumps are bare. Denmark has given Ukraine every single one of its Caesar howitzers. Estonia has provided so many 155mm artillery guns it has none left.
As such, the conversations between western defence ministers who met at Nato’s headquarters this week and who will congregate at the Munich Security Conference this weekend are littered with furrowed brows and anxious looks: how long can we sustain this level of support, and with what?
Looming over them is Russia’s spring offensive, which Stoltenberg said had already begun. It is expected to involve a mass wave of newly mobilised troops, a level of air power not yet deployed by Moscow, and the daily firing of as many artillery shells as Europe manufacturers in a month.
“It is worrying what is coming,” admitted Kajsa Ollongren, the Netherlands’ defence minister.
She described “a sense of urgency” among her fellow Nato ministers this week. “[It is] a critical moment because of what we see happening on the ground and what we expect to be happening in the next few months.”
“Also, thinking a little bit ahead, a serious scenario is of course that this war will drag on for a long time,” she added.
Europe responded to Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion with initial disbelief. Capitals that had previously declared he had no plans to do so then duly predicted Kyiv would fall in days.
But that rapidly gave way to a level of unity and support that defied both expectations and past form. Armies starved of funding by governments that had long dismissed the notion of war in Europe dug deep, and within weeks arms were flowing east across the Polish-Ukrainian border (as refugees flowed the other way).
But almost 12 months of gruelling war, in which Putin’s troops have targeted both civilian infrastructure and military targets, has placed immense pressure on Europe’s ill-prepared defence sector.
E[b]urope’s factories are barely able to make enough shells to supply a week’s worth of Ukraine’s needs. [/b]Waiting times for some munitions have more than doubled.
Stocks of Soviet equipment held by eastern Nato states, which Ukraine’s soldiers know how to use, have been exhausted. Decisions to send new types of western-made weapons — such as armoured vehicles — are met with fanfare but are followed by weeks and months of delays as armies realise how much refurbishment they require.
“It’s not going well for the Ukrainians. They are short of everything,” said Judy Dempsey, non-resident senior fellow at Carnegie Europe. “Ukraine really needs the means [to fight back], but they aren’t getting it.”
“[The Europeans] are fully behind the Ukrainians. But it’s not enough,” said Dempsey. “You don’t question the political will to support Ukraine, but the actual ability to deliver enough, and quick enough.”
The answer, according to most officials, is large, long-term contracts with defence manufacturers, initially for the war effort but with pledges from European governments to keep buying even when peace comes to Ukraine. Such conversations will dominate Munich, too.
Estonia’s defence minister proposed to his counterparts this week that donor countries combine to sign a €‎4bn contract to procure 1mn artillery rounds, as a test case for joint purchases that give defence contractors the security to invest in new capacities.
Seven European countries, including the UK, Norway and Denmark, announced on Wednesday a jointly funded £200mn package of direct contracts between Ukraine and western defence manufacturers for supplies, including artillery ammunition and spare parts for tanks.
Nato, for its part, late last year ordered all its members to perform a snap check of their inventories. It is now using the results to target individual governments and push them to sign new production contracts.
“We’re not just sitting there idle and watching this happening,” said Stoltenberg this week, suggesting that factories add shifts and “even work during weekends”.
The problem, of course, is that Russia’s war economy has been running for at least a year. Europe, meanwhile, is just getting into gear.

"Bakhmut will be held, and those who complain about the high price and sacrifice should not forget that if we retreat, another city will become a new Bakhmut,” said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba.

This should tell you everything you need to know. Ukrainian losses are extraordinarily high and everyone should just shut up about it.

This 🇺🇦 tweet aged well 🙃

Iraq did not fall in two weeks. Iraq was far weaker than Ukraine and the country was not getting any help (military & financial aid) from NATO/EU.

It is high time you guys provided the video, where Puttin said he will conquer Ukraine in Two weeks. We are tired of the screenshot from some unknown websites.

That why India and China said the west is not a truthful partner.. The rest of the world no longer trust USA no one wants their hegemony to continue.

My friend get the F**K off my page you bloody fool. Ode stupid he-goat.

An institutionalize agreement written in black and white and published was signed. But you dead head would rather prefer to pick the interpretation of 2 human beings over the bodies that signed it. Russia signed it, Ukraine signed it and you think both signed it because they interpreted it as "let's stop fighting today knowing that we will resume in 2022" and your papa dey get joy say na human being he born.

And oh yes, since the agreement was meant to help Ukraine prepare and everyone understood this, what preparation did Ukraine make? And you can't even comprehend what you read. They said the agreement in hindsight had given Ukraine more time. But that was not the expection when everyone was signing. And by the way. Dumb as.s

Mumu, you don't like the West but you are a zombie to whatever Merkel and Holland says because they are not part of the west oya as west is bad and China and India are great go and join them go and live there. Because China and India don't have racism against their own people how much more people of other race. Idiot, na today you see my post

okeysoninv:
Russia army in Ukraine is more than 500,000..and they're amassing another 500,000 . I wonder what a full war is, maybe they should make it 30m before it becomes a war to you.

Where did the mythical claim that "Russia thought it could defeat Ukraine in three days" come from?

Not from the Russian side, it was the U.S. that said it.

Yet this misattributed claim is parroted relentlessly as propaganda by the West.

Point of correction, this particular organisation in england is not a church.
That's why their former subjects in nigeria & several african countries have renounced & trashed them FOREVER!.

Never address them as a church, use something else.

My suggestion - shrine of england.

Your stupid.ty no be here. How come you forgot the Minsk agreement that Russia signed with Ukraine and have broken since 2014? Russia signed to leave the Donbas and yet came back to take it. And you are here talking nonsense. If You are in a small country surrounding Russia and you were part of the former soviet union, will you wait until Russia invade you or will you beg to be part of Nato? You guys always think with you Willie's.
