When Russia is killing 7 Ukes for every Russian, you're right, with those kill ratios it is just matter of time. Only to make matters worse the West is running out of ammo and equipment to give. From bad to dire.

Russia should wrap it up in what? About three days?

Dude, you and I both know that RF was not in the business of killing and conquering Ukrainians. All Russia wanted was a buffer between them and NATO. All a 6 year old has to do is look at a map and realize the buffer Russia had when there was a Warsaw Pact vs after 1996. The US could have easily resolved this in the mid 1990s by not expanding eastward. Or even better, should have/could have accepted Russia into NATO when Putin first asked to join in 2000/2001.

Russia has less of a buffer now than when they invaded. Good job Putin.

So Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and soon to be Ukraine were all alpha moves, right?

I swear, you guys fall back on this Neville Chamberlain BS and use that as a template for every decision going forward when truthfully, you are (willfully) ignorant of the dynamics involved in the entire affair.

I see you've blocked out Russia's occupation of eastern Ukraine from 2014-2022.

Taking one (directly highly invested) side's info as gospel while talking out of the other side of the mouth about the other highly invested side being propaganda is as stupid as anything anyone does in this conflict. I'm not interested in digging around to provide "better" data. The reality is there isn't any data- it's all crap. Sharing it as anything more than something to raise eyebrows at is, again, stupid.

I do find the claim highly dubious that Russia has had 200k troop casualties, but that's just gut feeling.

You hurting them Jones. Don't do that.

RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE CAMPAIGN ASSESSMENT, APRIL 22, 2023
ISW%20LOGO%20FINAL%20ACRONYM%20%20%20NAME_ISW%20LOGO%20FINAL%20ACRONYM%20NAME%20CMYK_1172.png

Russian milbloggers have provided enough geolocated footage and textual reports to confirm that Ukrainian forces have established positions in east (left) bank Kherson Oblast as of April 22 though not at what scale or with what intentions. Geolocated footage published by a Russian milblogger on April 22 shows that Ukrainian forces have established positions on the Dnipro River bank north of Oleshky (7km southwest of Kherson City) and advanced up to the northern outskirts of the settlement on the E97 highway, as well as west of Dachi (10km south of Kherson City). This footage also indicates that Russian forces may not control islands in the Kinka and Chaika rivers less than half a kilometer north of the geolocated Ukrainian positions near the Antonivsky Bridge. Russian milbloggers claimed on April 20 and 22 that Ukrainian forces have maintained positions in east bank Kherson Oblast for weeks, established stable supply lines to these positions, and regularly conduct sorties in the area—all indicating a lack of Russian control over the area. Another milblogger’s battle map claimed that Russian forces do not control some Dnipro River delta islands southwest of Kherson City as of April 22, suggesting possible Ukrainian advances on these islands. Some milbloggers complained that the slow rate of Russian artillery fire due to the over-centralization of the Russian military command allowed Ukrainian forces to land on the east bank. Russian forces may be prioritizing maintaining defenses in urban areas such as Oleshky and Nova Kakhovka, leaving the islands in the Dnipro River delta unmanned. The extent and intent of these Ukrainian positions remain unclear, as does Ukraine’s ability and willingness to maintain sustained positions in this area. ISW is recoding territory on the east bank of the Dnipro River to Ukrainian-held only now because this is the first time ISW has observed reliable geolocated imagery of Ukrainian positions on the east bank along with multi-sourced Russian reports of an enduring Ukrainian presence there.

However, do not care about their decisions. Britain was, is and will be our eternal enemy. In any case, until their impudent and disgustingly damp island goes into the abyss of the sea from the wave created by the latest Russian weapons system.
