    Dramatic shift from “Russia’s military is weak.” “They are using tanks from WWII!” among other fables the West gathered to tell themselves.

    God forbid they lose a 31k pre-war population town where the tallest structure left is an unexploded bomb. Let’s give them another billion dollars and see how many Ukrainians it costs to capture the next ruin.

      What we do know is that casualty ratios are fairly consistent across a large number of wars, and this helps us use public source data effectively. We have very little hard data. But what data we do have suggests that Ukraine’s casualties are higher than Russia’s.

      oh okay it’s crap

      I feel sorry for the Ukrainians. They have been misled by the US on the sincerity of their support. No one saw Al-Aqsa Flood coming but the moment it happened I knew the US was going to abandon Ukraine.

      God and oil are higher priorities for the US than any other buzzword they claim to care about.

        The Middle East always manages to take the USA’s focus away from Eurasia.

        What’s your take then? They should continue throwing soldiers at a war they are clearly losing? What is that supposed to happen achieve apart from getting even more Ukrainians killed than already were?
