You're generally a waste of time when it come to certain issues.
Within first 72 hours - Russia was all over Ukraine including KIEV.
Ukrainian held on with almost nothing - but sheer courage - for first four months.
HiMARs changed the story in summer - and Russia was kicked out many cities.
HIMARS assisted Ukraine reclaim half their territories that Russia had grabbed...taking back big cities like Khersons and others.
Russia kept on "tactical retreats" until the start of winter.
Ukraine knowing it was going to be muddy and snowy have re-focused into training and acquiring more western weapons.
DESPERATE Russia in moronic decision has been wasting weapons fighting for small cities of no significant all winter.
The have made very small gains since summer
In fact they might not even take Bakhmut - they might have to do with little salt city - of 10K people.
Now we head into spring and summers...proper fighting resumes.
Russia is DONE KAPUT FINISHED.
In Summer when HIMMARS was kicking them - you were busy crying NUCLEAR NUCLEAR
Now you're at best hoping for CHINA to bring their weapons.
Now spring and summer is coming - Ukraine are now even more prepared - with tanks, himars and the works.
Russia with their rickety ineffective tools will further xpose themselves for the joke it is.
This another 1989 capitulation.
Western nations cannot run out of ammunition
- they havent even started to make them yet. They have huge industrial capacity - Germany alone can produce enough to sink Russia
As always you prove alot of talking but hot air , know nothing but ujuaji is all you have .
Russia has not gone all guns snd bombs . If has only used 20% of its Military might. Hasnt even sent its full military force not has it even fully mobilized.
The reason Putin went to Ukraine is especially the same reason you are using to say Ukraine surprised you. Russia had the intelligence Ukraine Military had been upgraded and trained to wedge a war with NovoRussia and were preparing to do that by May . Donbass would have long gone if Putin didnt ambush them .
Which 50% of the land has been reclaimed ? Can you show evidence .As far as the data shows this year its Russia liberating more land . Name the cities you claim Ukraine has reclaimed .
Ukraine will now join EU and NATO . With this I end my engagement with you on this topic .
You live in your own CNN world .
You live in your own world.
Russia went all guns and bombs a year ago - seized territory - claiming Ukraine joining EU/NATO bla de bla
Special operation- became a long drawn war.
Everyone from RUssia to US to me - expected Russia to overrun Ukraine and take it like it's been doing to other eastern nations.
Nobody expect a dramatic fightback from the great warriors of Ukraine.
Ukraine has reclaimed 50% of that territory.
Ukraine has done it without major NATo weapons - it's now they will get a few tanks.
Even Himars they got was downgraded.
Now the status of today
1) Ukraine has reclaimed many cities
2) Ukraine has held tight through the winter - as they prepare for spring/summer assault.
3) Ukraine will now join EU and NATO.
4) EU has totally disconnected from Russia oil and gas - and their economies are turning the corner.
5) Russia is under heavy sanctions and it's economy weaken.
6) Russia is now a military joke - I dont see anybody ordering weapons from Russia.
Which bring us to China and India - the only friends Russia has.
US has predictably warned both to stay away from Russia - and you can bet they will.
Putin has committed a big blunder here.
You are absolutely right that U..S. And Western Nations throught NATO are fighting Russia in Ukraine.
However you are absolutely wrong claiming its a show of Military might .
Russia has proven the so called NATO is a giant on paper . As we speak they have run out ammunition while Russia is still raining ammunition , so afraid that they are they begging China and threatening them at the same time if they decide to supply ammunition to Russia.
This crisis has just shown the under belly of NATO. Sanctions have not worked nor has Military aid and support . They thought Russia by now it would be in its knees . Far from it . As we speak on ground its only Russia which is winning . But you will see brainwashed individuals like RVpundit and Sema singing praises of how NATO is a giant .
I didnt give them much thought initially; but I have grown to really admire them
wewe pundit...we told you that no one today can defeat the US either militarily or economically. Ukraine is not acting on it's own. If it was, russia would have destroyed. THis is US military and economic might coming into play. You are the one who needs to see a shrink because you keep under-estimating the power of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
