They themselves are getting wear out since they sit and wait for the new wave of russian attacks with a tweak in their previous strategy. This has been going on since the war started. Ukraine can take this for too long. If they can't go on the offensive, they have lost.

NATO will not use the advantage they get when russia is wear out, they will be there and watch russia rebuild so what's the point? I mean, russia can never be seen as weak, they were never strong nor weak because, even if they have only 5k army left, NATO will do nothing and those 5k will become 500k in the future and the process continues.

Putin knows this which is why he sings nukes in their ears up and down.

While, they miscalculated the first time, now they want to go in slowly and gradually by focusing in one front first. Because of that, mariopul has fallen or in the brink of falling.
It's not that easy. War is not about replacing men but counting the cost to your country both reputationaly, financially and your populations perception.

Russia has a big problem which is keeping their corridor to the Black sea untroubled which means they will have to spread out from one front to prevent disruption of their supply lines. They can take Odessa but haven't secured Dombass and Luhansk which is a wider area and subject to attacks. That black sea access is one of the reasons they entered this war in the first place, not wanting their black sea access to fall into the hands of NATO. The second and bigger problem is how to govern an unruly population that will be sabotaging and bombing them at every point. The Ukrainians have showed they are resilient and guerilla even if they don't get the weapons they need which means the corridor below will always be under threat. Russia's miscalculation was that they would march on Kyiv, Ukraine Government will get scared and surrender, collect Dombass and a link to Crimea down the black sea. All of that is in the bin. If that small Mariupol took them 2 months, they are in for a long slog, a price they were not prepared to pay Internationally and Economically, having entered Ukraine with only a few days supply of food. The weapons are stepping up in relation to the Ukrainians resistance. The West cannot send shiploads all at once without knowing if the Ukrainians would crumble and just hand those weapons over to the Russians. Now they have proved their grit, they are getting more. Britain's weapons have been very effective against the Russians, that's why the Russian ministers are always venting about Britain.

Oh boy!
USA must be a very interesting country to live in.

I mean, you have one side kicking against anti abortion laws using "my body, my choice", but then when it comes to mask mandate, it's no longer "my body, my choice" .. lol it becomes an emergency health crisis, it's different they say.


Then you also have one side scream about "free speech!" And "censorship" on Twitter and MSM, But then, they same side are the ones banning books in school. Lwkm oo.

And we've AOC and Couri Bush, using "birthing persons" instead of "mother's" in their speeches. Why? For inclusion they say,. That reminds me, there's now a pregnant man emoji, nice one Apple, hahahaha

One side is screaming "Jan. 6 insurrection" and the other is shouting, "Hunter Biden's laptop" everyday,.

LOLZ, whenever I'm bored, I go to these Facebook pages :CNN, Fox news, Dan Bongino, Sean Hannity, Occupy Democrats, Being Liberal. Omor, it's always packed with vauwlence. And the craziest of them all is Babylon Bee, very funny page, chai

The left is insane. They are happy holding the power to silence those who don't espouse their ideals. Comments saying there are only two genders are viewed by some on the left as misinformation.

JK Rowling was not invited for the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter. Reason. She says loudly there are two genders.

Left is afraid that new look Twitter will shatter their myths.
JK Rowling is as "left" as they come. There is no homogenous left.

It is realistic, war is about gaining grounds and keeping it. If they pushed Russia out like they have been doing from areas they took as the war started, they can push them out completely and the way to do it is by going offensive. They need offensive weapons.

Russians are lacking in many areas and with the right weapons, ukraine can push them out completely.
Current tactics to wear them out are best scenario that won't trigger the monster in Putin. Their foreign minister came this morning to complain that NATO is trying to "wear" Russia out. And he's right. They've committed two thirds of their land army to Ukraine and can't get past the Eastern side in 2 months. If Mariupol, a City of 500k people lasted two months despite heavy bombardment that destroyed 90% of the City, how long do you think it will take for all the Cities to fall, especially those Cities with millions of residents? They really want to exhaust Russia into the negotiating table without poking the bear too much.

Trump would be soo happy about Elon’s purchase of Twitter. cheesy
He will expect his account and those of some of his supporters to be restored
Depends whether he signed an exclusivity deal with Truth Social which is highly likely and one he can't breach. The Truth Social founder beat Gabr and the rest to that deal by some millions meaning he would have exclusivity. Elon would have gamed all this before considering the purchase cos that's a hot button issue that could lose a lot of followers.

I dont think Putin will want to take defeat, will it come to a time when Russia will just say "Rather than lose Ukraine, No one will have it" and just go haywire on them with bombs?
You are right. Baba will rather commit warcrines than lose war.

He's already done that to Donbass region down to Mariupol. If he came to liberate those areas, what he will inherit is a pile of rubble.

He will never take defeat because he's a strongman authoritarian. Strongmen can't lose war and keep their Kingdom. He will bomb to smithereens. So far the only place he's bombed to smithereens is Mariupol as that was a strategic port to connect Dombass to the sea.

Do you think either side is interested in the bold? The west might want to humiliate Putin as this is a time to finally weaken and break a rival for ever, while Putin too knows whatever is left of the fear/respect of Russia lies in this war.
Both sides are interested in the bolded. Putin even asked for a closure that the West can save face on couple of weeks ago. The problem be say the West also want Putin to find a face saving way out. The problem is who will swallow their pride.

Of course they'll want to humiliate him but you can't break them forever. Their optimal goal would be the war damages Putin and leads to a coup or his resignation, but long term they must let Russia back in to the fold. This is a G7 member, not a small country.

Ukraine have pilots that can flight jets. The migs Poland was supposed to give to them the US scrap it. They are just there not doing enough to fully drive Russia out.

No fly zone is too much, just give them jets... Donate drones to them... The Turkish drones and let them swamp the Russians... They will drive them out.
Haba bros. Driving Russians out fully is not realistic. A realistic outcome is grinding them down while offering Putin a face-saving way out he can sell to his people to withdraw.

They won't be getting into any war. They just need to give Ukraine the right weapons.

Listening to every threat Russia dish out only proves weakness.

The guys have been holding Russia at bay for months now we are beginning to see cracks and a domino effect might happen.
The weapons are stepping up. But you can't win a war without air force. And enforcing no fly zone is a direct declaration of war. So the only tactic is to bog Russia down for months. And Putin is crazy enough to bomb civilians if the war escalates so one has to escalate with sense.

The guy is doing his best to expose Russia, Making Russia rethink their strategy. Sadly, the people standing with him only just gives him stuff, they don't do the things for him that will make him Victorious. They are wasting everyone's time.
I'm impressed with how they've "outpropagandad" Russia during this war. I guess they've been under attack since 2014 and learned propaganda from the very best. Their information tactics during this war no be here.

As for what more the West can do, it's a tricky one. There is a fine line between supporting an ally and being dragged into a war. I think the West are just trying to drain Russia till they get tired. Just like Afghanistan drained both USA and Russia.

The left-wing mafia across the west 'win' elections with mega vote numbers only for their candidates' approval ratings to nosedive below sea level almost immediately after swearing-in.

Why is that?

Is it that the sheeple that cast the mega votes are insanely fickle, turning against the messiah they had just elected, with the speed of light?
Or is it that the mega vote numbers from the beginning were voodoo?

I've said it many times, the Right-wing are too soft to contest for power in the 4th world political cultures and woke-to-cracies that north american and western european nations have turned to.
What is LePens approval rating?

Havertz contributes massively to our team defensively, his pressing forces players to kick the ball out of play leading to turnovers, it's not obvious unless you notice it

Mount will disappear all game, only show up for corners and freekicks, yet people will hype his performances cheesy
Last season you weren't interested in pressing when Havertz was strolling and Mount was pressing.

All of a sudden it becomes important to you. I wonder why.

Origi is not a striker you will put your hope on
He is a striker that will be part of your planning due to his versatility. He is a perfect number two who can play wings to keep himself in form and confidence, then slot into the striker role fully sharp when needed. And you won't lose sleep if you need him to play no 9 for an extended period or if you miss your main transfer target

The question is why is a supposedly good striker sitting comfortably on the bench at age 27? Niggga has spent 8 good years of his senior career either sitting on the bench or on loan in some farmer's league.

I don't think Arsenal is in the wrong for not considering him at any point in time.
He can play wing, he can play striker.

Why won't a club sign someone who is a good backup and can play wings if a real number 9 is signed.

This is the kind of signing you hold in your pocket knowing you are covered before going to look for £50m to £100m striker.

If it's you, won't you stay at a winning club and put trophies in your pocket before going to be the main man at a smaller club? Some great players will sit in a small club forming being the main man with no trophy in the cabinet.

Anyway he is going to Milan.
