Russian Ukrainian War

[Boiled_AnDa]

So far the US has shown no real sign of wanting to defeat Russia's invasion of Ukraine

SO, US fighting Russia from the shadow , you want to say?

On serious note, Russia is a resource producer not a consumer, neither its 16th century that EU can anymore steal others' resources like East India Co. could steal 45+ Trillion $ worth from Bharata by deploying divide and rule and deception on the tip of musket, and it's still surviving on that loot's dividend.
And for cracking Russian economy, that dream seems to be far far fetched. At least till it has direct trade continuing with China and India and BRICS keeps expanding. West can't even scoure Titanium if Russia denies its export ( That's why the race is going on to get own hand on Ukrainian mine instead)


Sadly, except the Long range missiles, nothing much game changerS left to surprise Russia..And, Can't say for NAFO, but, US won't set foot physically for direct combat on ukrainian soil, that's for sure.

Things may change in the next month. Once the US election is out of the way, Biden no longer needs to be acutely sensitive to public opinion where his Ukraine policies are concerned, so may take steps to increase support for Ukraine until his term ends. If Trump wins and cuts US support, I think that Ukraine will be forced to negotiate from a very poor position unless the EU can greatly increase its support, and very quickly. The question is: how? Has it raised arms production enough to be able to supply Ukraine with enough to hold the territory it still has?

Putin does not care how much his territorial ambition damages Russia (or Ukraine, obviously). He will continue until Russia's economy cracks - which could be years away. There is no good outcome for Ukraine on the horizon: either continuing destruction or accepting the annexation of much of the country.

So far the US has shown no real sign of wanting to defeat Russia's invasion of Ukraine. However, if Harris wins next month and gets serious about the US defeating Russia in this war of arms and sanctions, I know which side should win in a contest between a $25 trillion economy and a $2 trillion economy,

I am sorry but beyond releasing some funds to Ukraine ( which means more funds to US military companies under guise of Ukraine funding) , there isnt much Biden can do.

Ukraine currently has manpower problems and are failing to survive sustained pressure at any points along the frontlines, re-deploying and manuevering instead of holding ground.

Ie, if Biden gives Ukies a shit ton of equipment between election and january, it has a huge risk of becoming tactical blunder, as those weapons are under huge risk of falling into russian hands and being reverse engineered by the Russians and the Chinese

And 2 months is too short a period for Biden to engage the 'nuclear' option and put US boots on the ground.

Without US support, the only """"negotiation"""" Ukraine will do with Russia is the same as the South Vietnam regime did with the NVA or the ANA Govt of Afghanistan did with the Taliban

They want their Ukranian lemmings to keel enough Russians to cause either a regime change in the near or far future in Russia, so that they can exploit Rooskies natural resources and plant US bases on the Chinese border, aside from Central Asia access which also has minerals too.

It is the reason they don't let the Ukranians go all out vs Russkie from the get-go, they were kept on life support from the start, Russia is the prize and it has to have little wear and tear for Gora usage

This article came out after 18 months of fighting. It's an objective opinion, but a pro Ukrainians source non the less. It shows KIA and wounded averaging 350 a day. Since Ukraine was the one on the offense in Kursk they will have way more causalities than average. Kursk was just one front, but the numbers of 300 killed/wounded is a very reasonable estimate.

'Dying by the dozens every day' - Ukraine losses climb​

29 August 2023
The figures remain classified. But US officials, quoted by the New York Times, recently put the number at 70,000 dead and as many as 120,000 injured. It is a staggering figure, from an armed forces estimated at only half a million strong. The UN has recorded 9,177 civilian deaths to date.

Now drones are hanging in the sky 24/7 (you can't pee in peace), so any vehicle is visible. Here are the results from photos/videos from the day before yesterday. You can see the proportionality of losses yourself. Sometimes they are compared, but rarely.

All your articles/videos with analyses are broken by the map. 42 km from Avdiivka to Selidovo. This is the largest salient, although even some of our experts, at the beginning of this year, predicted battles near Kramatorsk.

Australia is giving us 49 M1A1s. Although these tanks are just to plug holes in the defense. I am more interested in the project of our designers: on the Leo-1 chassis + a turret like the Yatagan tank and a Ukrainian 6TD diesel engine.
It turns out that we only need the chassis and this does not tie us to the A5 version. A lot of Leo-1s were built.

Russian army training to defeat sea drones. This video is unique in that a real Ukrainian sea drone MAGURA V5 is used as a target. In the video, Russian servicemen practice the skills of defeating a sea drone using FPV drones. It is unknown how the Russian army received a working Ukrainian sea drone MAGURA V5. The drone is presumably equipped with a Starlink satellite Internet system.

An episode of a battle in the Kursk region of Russia, which is currently unexplained. In the video, an unknown armored personnel carrier, similar to the BTR-82A, drove out to meet two tanks. After which, the tank fired point-blank at the armored personnel carrier, as a result of which the APC's turret was torn off. In the video, you can see that the APC crew left the combat vehicle, one of the soldiers calmly walked past the tank, the rest went in the other direction, but the second tank tried to hit them. The video does not show any insignia on the equipment, and it is also impossible to determine who the soldiers are. Perhaps one of the sides fired at their own equipment.

Zelensky's victory plan is for Ukraine to join NATO. Joe Biden already said that's not going to happen as long as the war is still going on. So I guess Zelensky is planning on calling Putin and asking him to stop the war so Ukraine can join NATO. Sounds like a great idea. Do you think Putin will fall for Jedi master Zelensky's mind trick?
The Kremlin said he needs to sober up. I agree with them.

Does 'day 52' mentioned refer to day 52 of the invasion? Does the video date from spring 2022? I would not be surprised if Zelensky is prescribed drugs to keep him functioning while working long hours or to reduce the effects of stress.

Yes, and also they tried delete it but they didn't do it in time, someone copied it just in time. I really don't know why it didn't go viral.

This guy is a fucking moron. He just basically guaranteed that Russia will not hesitate to stop taking over Ukraine. Russia has to win this conflict at all costs otherwise Russia will face serious breakup. This plan is a non-starter.

Russia has a plan if and when NATO gets directly involved. It is called the nuclear option. At that point Russia has basically nothing to lose.

I will not justify Zelensky's plan (although he is not the author). In its current form, it looks more like a declaration. You need to know the technical sub-clauses, but they are secret.
As for NATO, at the first stage, an invitation is enough for Putler to see that the direction is inevitable. Russian citizens are scared of NATO, just like the interview of a former officer of the GDR army about his feelings when he transferred to the FRG army: "- At first I was very afraid, because we were taught all our lives that NATO is an aggressive bloc."
But the Kremlin's opinion on this decision will definitely not be asked.
Moscow makes a public appearance that for it this war is like a slight runny nose, but for some reason invites North Korean cannon fodder.

>tfw they let Ukraine join NATO
>but Ukraine can't invoke Article 5 since it was already at war before joining NATO
OR
> but Ukraine has to CEASE-FIRE with Russia which means defacto giving up on reclaiming occupied territories Donbass, Crimea, Zaphorizhia and Kherson


Either way Zelesnky must get on a plane to Washintong DC, lots of patriotic Ukies will be gunning for his ass then

 

[Akim]

Western partners have a "FRG/GDR" option, where they accept part of Ukraine into NATO and we commit not to return the occupied territories by force. Firstly, Ukrainian society is against it and secondly, they forgot to ask Putin for consent. He is sure that he is winning. I don't see it, but let him be mistaken.
The whole issue is in the amount of weapons. I am in favor of taking a loan from oil-producing countries and any manufacturer will sell us weapons for real money.
Thanks to the US for their support, but the procedure is very long. We need weapons TODAY AND NOW, not in a year and with restrictions, because Putin is selling fear.

Continuation of the battle with an unknown APC and two tanks in the Kursk region of Russia. The situation has become clearer, in short, the APC was indeed Russian, and the tanks were Ukrainian. A shot from the second Ukrainian tank finally destroyed the APC. The APC crew left the combat vehicle, as was shown earlier. The Ukrainian tank was subsequently destroyed, how is not reported, most likely by drones, the fate of the tank crew is also unknown. The second tank left the scene of the battle, there is no further information about it.
