My whole point in this war is that the Ukrainians can not win the war. Russia has gained territory. What we see is media propaganda delighted at the loss of russian soldiers.
Zelensky has let his country be turned into ruins.
The ruskies have lost lives but have captured lots of ground from Ukraine. Including connecting Crimea direct to Russia via Eastern Ukraine.
Zelensky is a poor leader. He let Russians waste his cities instead of calling for dialogue.

All Russians need is a pledge for him not to join NATO. Putin is a bully for that by the way. another thing is that the Azov battalion has been killing russian separatists. The Azov has also committed war crimes since 2014

Zelensky is just an actor. Some are suggesting he is a US spy that was designed to bring this war to pass. I really feel for the ordinary Ukrainian.

The #Ukrainian #military admitted it has faced heavy setbacks in the fight to retain control over the strategically important town of #Lyman in the eastern #Donbass region.

Ukrainian military admits setback in key eastern town of Lyman
anews.com.tr
More than 500 of their soldiers have surrendered in Lyman, and many of them were killed. It was a horrific scene seeing Russian heavy artillery pummelling the Ukies. The Russian T0S-1 Thermobarics flame thrower is like a horror movie. It was also shocking to discover that Russia have artillery systems that can reach many miles previously unknown to western intelligence. In spite of the howitzers supplied to Ukraine, they're still losing men left and right to Russia's heavy artilleries.

The two accounts of the Cross border attacks were never claimed by Ukraine nor the west. Fingers points to Russian false flags aimed at propping up public sentiment in Russia in favor of the SMO.

There is a high intelligence gameplay in this whole war. The Russkies are deliberately fighting the way they're fighting now because they knew the west is watching and deliberately arming Ukraine for the purpose of learning how to beat Russia and it's capabilities in the event of actual war. There are rumours of military observers deployed from the US to study Russia's military tactics and weapon efficiency. This is more like a game of cat and mouse where Ukraine is the hosting house.

germans almost knocked down the gate of Stalingrad and Leningrad before being pushed back when usa lend and lease started trooping in.. All na needed now is for the Ukrainian to keep holding while their comrades finished up wit their trainings on the new heavy armaments being supplied to them…
Fanfare fantasy.

How much of the new armaments supplied are making an impact on the Ukrainian side? Either they get destroyed on arrival or the units operating them are targeted and wiped out with high precision standoff missiles once the few ones manage to reach the frontlines.

Truth is, the Ukies have never stood a chance in this SMO. They're outgunned in every area of engagement. The fact that they have even lasted to this time is down much to the Russkies simply not wanting to go the 'bomb everything on sight way typical of American war style and victory. For this, they should be thankful to the Russians.

Moreover, comparing the current crop of Ukies with the then Soviet forces at Stalingrad is like comparing toothpicks with bamboon trees.

The then Soviet forces were highly willed, motivated and have a reason why they're fighting--for the survival of the Union. But in this case, the Ukies forces are demoralised, and are fighting for the politicians, not for the national unity, otherwise, this war wouldn't have even happened to begin with.

The destruction and mass surrender of the AZOV forces in Mariupol alone have completely weaken and demoralized many of the Ukie forces elsewhere. Right now, many of them are surrendering in the Eastern and Southern fronts. No amount of new and advanced armament you give a demoralized army would make them succeed. Once Russia succeed in taking the Donbass, the Ukies will cave in further and accept their defeat on the frontlines. If the politicians refused to acquiesce, I will not be surprise if a violent coup enschew.

Russia is deliberately prolonging this war. Even US intelligence have confirmed that Russia has prepared to wage a long war. The thing is that the longer the war the worse the global economy and amid oil prices rising like hell, oil producing nations like Russia, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia keeps catching out big. This is the reason the Saudis gave America the middle finger when Biden ask them to increase the volume of oil into the market. At the same time, they and UAE and Qatar refused to condemn and sanction Russia. What is another man's poison is another man's meat. This is geopolitics and the Russians are masters of the game. cool Ukraine just destroyed itself for nothing.

How can a civilized society with people with actual brains record this kind of shit, if there's this much mass shootings, how many gun homicide do they record yearly
My brother, the situation is even worse than you think.

As a law graduate and freelance writer, I do a lot of school work and research project for hundreds of clients in the US and England. From my research, I have discovered that the average American Life in terms of security and safety is like a candle in the wind, a phone on its last power bar. The crime rate in that country is crazy. America imprisons its citizens far more than any other country on Earth, and most of the charges are on drugs, homicides and gun related violence.

American teenagers and young adults are far more likely to die than their counterparts in any of the developed countries of the world. The US healthcare system ranks below Slovenia and Morocco, in terms of cost, reliable accessibility and is way behind many countries in Europe Asia in terms of quality and affordability. Violence in America is highly under reported by the Lamestream media. You have to dig deeper to understand the gravity of the situation, not to mention that the justice and social system is blatantly and systematically rigged across racial lines. Take away the Greenback, and some of the technology like Facebook, Google, Apple iPhone, etc, that helps people to interact and live more meaningfully, America is just a developed ghetto with no guarantee for human safety and security.

Jesus. I can't even imagine the horror and pain the parents of those murdered children are going through now. angry I support your decision 100%, and I pray that God keeps you and your children and wife till the end of the year when you will be moving them out of harm's way.

Foreign AffairsRe: Ukraine’s Defence Ministry: Russians Are 16 Miles Away From Encircling Donbass by Appleyard(m): 8:27am On May 25, 2022
Fact is, different groups of UkroNazi forces have been encircled or facing encirclement in the Eastern fronts. Ukraine stand no chance against overwhelming Russian artillery, attack bombers and fighter planes, and naval firepower that's pummelling them from all directions. In Lyman, the Ukies are surrendering while the ones that refused to surrender are being hunted down street to Street. Kramtorsk and sloviansk are the key to all of donbas/malorossiya.

And right now, studenok/dolyna area and belgorovka area plus siversk is what is left to close the lisichansk cauldron completely. The cauldron is getting smaller every week. Now it is almost closed at Pilipchatino. Next thing you know they are circling the coral outside Popasnya. Fact is, It is a mess for the Ukrainian s, and if the Russians get Yampil and Solodar then its over for those in Sevrod and surrounding areas. It will take a few weeks ( several) but they will be finished. After which the front would not have that 300km bulge. Concentration of Russian forces will then be in a better depth should they decided to move on any other areas.

So at this juncture, it's understandable what the Ukrainian ministry is saying. It's only a miracle that can save them now from complete encirclement and destruction in the hands of the Russians. I really feel sorry for them. undecided Ediot Zelensky really think he can win this war.

Gaddamit!!! The Russian war tactics is irreplicable by any modern military power. They are doing all this with a huge number of their forces still located in Belarus apparently waiting for the Polish planned maneuver to happen towards the western parts of Ukraine. The way they easily trapped their opponents makes it difficult to have a successful ground war against the Red army, and this is why Pentagon is calling for a ceasefire. They knew Ukraine no longer stand a chance in this war, especially now that Russia is increasingly blinding NATO AWACS as such that is becoming more difficult to give the Ukies real-time Intel for accurate artillery and missile targeting. So it's not surprising that they are now talking of a diplomatic solution to the crisis. Ukraine is losing up to 500 men almost on daily basis.

Foreign AffairsRe: Russian Victories Very Temporary', Vows Ukraine's Zelenskyy by Appleyard(m): 11:24am On May 23, 2022
Kingsnairaland:
Grand Comedian of the Federal Republic of Ukraine..... Lol.

Ukraine has lost Kherson and Kherson Oblast, Zaporizhzhia Oblast and, having been penetrated at Popasnaya and Izium, is about to lose the entirety of Donbas to Russia. That's 100,000 km sq of territory lost already to date.

The propaganda we hear is
One minute it's Russian tanks destroyed, then Russian Generals killed one after another, then Russia losing the war, and tens of thousands of Russian troops died etc etc..

.. But then the truth is we are witnessing one city fall after another, the latest being Mariupol when thousands of elite Azov surrendered.

No matter what's been reported on Russia's loss, we still do not see the Ukrainian troops making any major counter offensive to take back any part of territory they have lost!!

Now we see the comedian president only bothered about collecting Russia compensation he is not even bothered about the lose of human life.. What a twisted seniaro ....
I swear, that man is not rational in his thinking. One minute, he wants peace, the next he is talking conquering the Russians. Russia has already occupied territory the size of the UK in Ukraine, yet western media wants you to think that the Russians are losing badly, especially once you Ukraine succeeded in in inflicting one or two losses on the Russians. He should be thankful that this Russians were not fighting completely dirty as they did in Chechen and in Aleppo where they leveled whole cities. We saw much destruction in Mariupol because the Azov guys were using civilian infrastructures to fight. Russia is trying to avoid similar scenario repeating itself in the port city of Odessa. There, they used retreating tactics typical of the Mongolian army to make the enemy feel they're on the run, retreating all the way back to the Russian border close to Odessa, and the ediots fell for it and they pursued after the Russians, only for them to be trapped and about to be completely encicled. cool The moment the US saw all these, they knew all their efforts to bolster Ukriane is simply amounting to nothing. The Russkies are too intelligent and superior in tactics to the NATO-led Ukrainian forces. Hence, the call for a ceasefire at once. grin Moreover, Russian artillery fire is doing heavy damage to the Ukie forces as such that many of their soldiers have lost the morale to fight on some Frontlines. If Zelensky doesn't find a way to give in to the Russian demand as advices by Italy recently, I suspect it would reach the point of no return when some elements in the army would assassinate him and his entire corrupt and puppet government . Whatever, Ukraine losses big time.

Tell me one reason you think Putin will want this war to end? This war will linger for the next 2yrs until Ruble topples the USD In value... US ntoor
Gaddamit! You can see through the thickest geopolitical mist cool. The US intelligence have said that Russia is preparing for a long-term war in Ukraine. Initially, the US-led west planned on prolonging the war in Ukraine in order to 'bleed' Russia militarily. But now, from their own observations, the odds favours Russia compared to the cost and gain for the west. This has alarmed them, hence for the second time in a month, the US had called Russia and asked for a ceasefire in Ukraine. cool One thing that is noteworthy is that it was the US side that initiated these calls, not the Russians. Now, common sense dictates that the US wouldn't have called if things were going according to their plans. They knew that at the end of the tunnel lies a negative outcome for Ukraine, the EU and the US. The only little gain they can takeaway from this brouhaha is the fact that Two New members --Sweden and Finland--will be joining NATO, which, by the way, is more or less of any major turning point as far as Moscow is concerned because, these two have over the years been close NATO allies with their military almost linked and synced together. Entering the alliance formally is just for formality.

But as much as the Ukraine is concerned, Russia have cornered the west and get them to ruin their own economy while exposing their double standards for everyone to see. cool I must admit, Vladimir Oghenedonado Putin is a goddamn strategist and master chess player.
