Dream25:
Ukraine is not looking for a favourable position, they're looking for cheap PR...

It's senselessness that'll make you invade a country as big as Russia with just few thousands troop..

What can they negotiate with those small land?... cheesy
Russia is busy advancing in Donbass while Ukraine is deceiving itself in Kursk.. Misplaced priority.. grin

Look at the map below and tell me the favourable position they're looking for.. grin
Another armchair General

No, you're totally missing the point. The conflict is doing more harm than good to the Ukrainians. Almost all of their able bodied men are gone, while Russia still has a normal life all over the country.

No amount of support from the west will make. Zelensky defeat Russia. Russia has the highest number of nuclear weapons on earth, the world will rather end than Russia losing a war.

And in the evening of the same day, he made media appearance from Kremlin!
Are you sure Nigeria-coated hunger is not befriending you?
And where is 'progozhin' now?

Paper tiger? The whole of west thought otherwise! Do you noticed sometimes, the US official unknowningly praising Russia military and the economy resistance!

Over 50 countries pooling resources together to face a country and the country is still standing! Tell which country can do that if not Russia
Whobedatte:
Ordinary Progozhin almost invaded Moscow and Putin fled to Belarus 🇧🇾. Imagine!
Russia is just a paper tiger and if Ukraine starts using US F16s deep into Russia , Russia will be gone .

Whatever, those bridges keep playing important role for Russia..

If you've been following the news of this war, you will see the importance to the Russians especially when Creamia bridge was destroyed at first, Putin sent massive missiles into Ukraine in retaliation..
When you're talking of military mobile bridge, you need to understand that Russia has a set goal and that goal is not a full scale war but for a short time which has however gone beyond the planned period without achieving the short term goal..
Bro, I don't know what MSM has been feeding you. Go on X and see what's happening to that handful of Ukrainian soldiers than infiltrated Kursk.

FYI, Germany just stopped funding Ukraine after they confirmed the Ukrainians blew up the nord stream.

I think we have too many kids on NL. Sometimes if I just read their praise for Russia and continued defending of Putin's obvious blunder in Ukraine, I go just weak.

I've just chosen to just assume it's really kids we talk with here. Russia is clearly at wits end here, but NL Putin boys will just keep twisting the obvious.
I perfectly agree with the bolded.

This is valid. Yet, remember who invaded who. Ukraine had no option than to defend their sovereignity, and for 3 years, with fewer weaponry, lesser military strength, smaller economy, severe restrictions on usage of allies weapons, they have not only succeeded in keeping Russia's efforts thwarted, they have now started an incursion into Russia, going strong for 2 weeks now, damaging hundreds of Russian infrastructures. Bro, be frank, Zelensky and Ukraine are the champs here.

WASTE OF TIME AND TERRORISM, THEY LEFT THE SOUTH TO TRY AND DRAG RUSSIA TO THE NORTH.


LOL



RUSSIA WILL JUST KEEP DESTROYING THEM IN THE SOUTH AND LURE THEM INTO A TRAP IN THE NORTH.




ONCE THEY FINISH IN SOUTH THEY WILL WIPE THEM OUT IN THE NORTH.
So Russia would manufacture troops from the air,use poorly trained ones or even civilians to regain territories captured by Ukraine?
Once Ukraine goes as far as it feel it can go into Russia and starts building trenches,even the entire Russia army would be bloodied before they can take it back,assuming they succeed.
Trenches are like bomb shelters,you can be bombing the area while the soldiers heavily fortified in them are playing cards,drinking and smoking cigarettes.
You need tanks,relatively larger and well equipped troops to take them back.But in this age of UAVs that Ukraine has lots of,that task becomes extra herculean.
So Russia's best bet is to keep on trying to push in the East because they know for all practical purposes Kursk is now Ukraine's,till they decide to voluntarily withdraw

grin More reason why Russia should colonize all the Eastern Europe countries all over again, including Germany.
All of them have forgotten how they ALL FAILED in WW2 fighting Russia along side the Nazis. They will learn again, the hard way. Meanwhile, the front in Donbas is expanding everyday and Russia is ever close to the Dniper river. Kiev is just a stone’s throw afterwards, while NATO is wasting TIME and resources in Kurst grin

For those always having an exaggerated opinion about Russia military strength, this is when you should know you are clawing at straw.

US warns Russia not to use low yield tactical nuclear weapon and US communicate exactly what they will do to Russia in response if Russia crosses the red line.

Russia says many times that their nuclear doctrine dictates the use of nuclear weapon if their sovereignty is under threat.

Now, Ukraine is threatening the sovereignty of Russia and according to Russia nuclear doctrine, Russia needs to use nuclear weapon against Ukraine.

But they won’t , they can’t, they dare not simply because of the fear of the United States cheesy cheesy grin
If Russia use nuclear weapons, America won't do jack. No body send Washington message

The bolded always deceive you.

How many of these nuclear weapons in Russia are functional ?. How many delivery mechanism does Russia have?

The United States has the highest delivery mechanisms for nuclear warhead than any nation, and when you combine the nukes of France, UK and US, it has outnumbered that of Russia.

Do you guys even understand the strength of the United States military. They have been honed to fight multiple wars at the same time in a devastating manner. They are the best military fighting force for a reason. Which other countries have bases scattered all over the world? Do you know the importance of military bases. Have you seen the United States doing military parades before?.

I feared when one US General states that "do NOT fear a weapon that you know, as you can build a defence against it. Fear a weapon that is unknown, which has not come into the mind of man". United States is a beast!.

But Russia took over well defended lines in muripol, bakhmut, adividika part of zaripoza, now whole of donbas. Despite it took Ukraine a decade to prepare fortifications.

You are empty head.

How many submarines do Russia has compared to the United States?

Russia has only 1,584 deployable nukes while US has 1,744 deployable nukes (these are nukes that could be launched immediately).

Do you think nukes are just like "akara" which you will grab and use. They involve a lot of overhead costs and with high corruption in Russia military, how many of their nukes could even be deployed.

America has the MOST delivery mechanisms in the world.

Let me give you a quote from an article, you can go and read the rest from the source:

"The destructive capabilities of US weapons range widely. The most powerful weapon—the B83 gravity bomb—is more than 80 times stronger than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The smallest weapon has an explosive yield of only 2 percent of that. Such “low-yield” weapons are specifically designed to be more usable, increasing the likelihood they may actually be used.


Fear the United States military!

Just tell me - what is stopping Putin from using nuclear weapon according to Russia's nuclear doctrine? No better time to launch nuclear weapon than now.

I will tell you what President Biden telegraphs to Putin if he uses, even tactical nuclear weapon :

"President Joe Biden has staked out the U.S. position on the issue, noting, “Any use of nuclear weapons in this conflict on any scale would be completely unacceptable to us as well as the rest of the world and would entail severe consequences.” This vagueness is intentional and consistent with a long-standing U.S. policy of “strategic ambiguity” aimed at giving U.S. policymakers flexibility in deciding how to respond to nuclear events."
