grin So said by a LEARNER grin Napoleon captured Moscow and lived in the Czar palace for one month but yet lost the Napoleon war disastrously grin In WW2 Hitler captured Paris. The French government headed by Charles de guile promptly moved over to America to continue the business of French government. The French government house was moved to America grin
If Putin capture Kiev, Zelensky will open a fresh office in Poland grin and still continue making speeches on TV, running his mouth.
Capturing Kiev is not crucial. The initial dash for Kiev was a legover, the Russians wanted to lure Ukraine out of their fortified hide outs in Donbas.
It didn’t work. Nigeria’s best fighting men are in the North east currently cos that’s where the war is. Similarly the Ukraine war is in Donbas, that’s where Ukraine army is.
Destroy that army, destroy Ukraine
Only ediots think Russian was after Kiev actually. Having surrounded Kiev, they easily could have smash it to pieces if they wanted. But the Russian forces there at the time was a feint intended to keep the large Ukie forces concentrated in Kiev from moving to support their colleagues in the East, and that's the reason big cities like Kherson fell easily, and Mariupol followed suit, with many other towns and localities, giving Russia 90 percent of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. I hope this war will just end save people from wanton killings and destructions on both sides. It's heartbreaking watching conscripts massacred on the frontlines.

Ukrainians have a very small window left to escape (though leaving behind their heavy equipments)!
Russia continues to pull them into a “cul de sac” and instead of running away they’re there claiming 20%.
Bridges have now been destroyed by the Russians and even the river is now fully occupied by the Russians.

This is suicide
Best they will get is another Mariupol
I thought I was the only one seeing this. They fell for the Russian trap. The Russians pushes them without any intent of holding on to the ground covered, then they encourage them to push back at the Russians and once they do, the Russians retreat deep inside the previously captured territory only to pause, reengage and allow their advancing troops from the other two rear to close the Ukies in a cauldron, and gbam, you have another Debalsevo. I thought by now the Ukies must have calculated this risk but alas, I was wrong. How could they be getting themselves holdup in cauldrons is surprising.

The Russian artillery firepower is a nightmare to any fighting force on the planet. Even one retired US captain couldn't help but confessed the fearsomeness of the Russian Arty units which he described as a "rain of steel".

It's only ediots on sentimental drug pills that envisaged a Ukrainian field victory over a firepower house like Russia.

Lol... Are you talking about debts? China has the worst debt to gdp ratio. 60% of tge 27 trillion dollars US debt is debt owed to itself... The debt of china is 300% of its GDP. China's GDP per capita is around $10000, America's GDP per capita is about $60000. And US's nominal GDP still surpasses China's by a long shot. US owes debts it can pay, China owes debts it can't pay.
This again, the US don't owe any debt to itself. Just listen to your self. Do some research.

If I also call your father(since I believe I am not your mate) an idiot, we will now degenerate to insults and name calling instead of issue based analysis! This is the reason I clearly refrained from quoting any of you when writing my comments which are first of all issue based and backed by proof culled from bbc which is the most vocal anti Russian press.

A lot of you pro western analysts are very vile when you find it hard to counter an argument, easily resorts to insulting people, which shows how emotionally unbalanced you are, which maybe as a result of poor education, age or exposure. Neither of us are Russians, Ukrainians or Americans. No one is going to dash you American visa because you insulted someone on NL over war analysis!

You could not stomach the truth, you want to quickly throw insults at me? FYI, there are no supermen in war, Russians must also lose men and equipments too. But will that stop a Russian victory? Has it prevented Ukrainian territories from continuously falling? NATO and Serbia are not mates, but when NATO bombarded Serbia in a 78 day aerial invasion, Serbia successfully shot down a US F117 stealth jet using s-125, not even s-200/300. It was the most formidable and supposedly invincible to radar jet in the world at that time(1999). The embarrassment led to the ultimate retirement of that jet. Other jets that predates it are still in service. Did that ultimately prevent a NATO victory? Media props and wishful thinking don’t win wars.
Hey, man? Have you so forgotten what the Bible said in Proverbs 26:4-5? "Do not answer a fool according to his way, lest thou be like him".

You don't have to reply every comment, especially those that start with insults. There are people who create their own reality as such that no matter the reality you point them to, they will never see it but theirs even though it's a false reality. Learn to engage in discussion with people you know are civil in their replies. Peace.

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.

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.

If Ukraine wants to strike main land Russia it could but the problem is ™ a strike at mainland Russia from Ukraine will mean a larger escalation from Russia "

Now imagine what type of response Russia will make if that happens? cry

Ukraine will be in smoke and stone in 10 minutes
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.
