Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose
-
Uh yeah. China is literally building islands to expand it's ability to access resources. The Russian Far East is also very resource rich. That's a pretty big incentive right there.
-
That’s good to know because it indicates they are less reliant on the US than one might assume. They’re doing 85% of the killing with their own tools.
-
Russia isn't a super power. And the reason countries don't poke each other outside of cultural ones is fear of retaliation. If the military is gone then what retaliation is there?
-
LOL
Almost no cannon fodder to send, the massive amount of arms and equipment they started with but now they're starting to win? -
Whaaaat? you don't believe they fight with shovels?
-
I’ll write a strongly worded letter to Pete Hegseth on their behalf.
-
Marco Rubio is in Trump's administration. Nothing that comes from there should be assumed true.
They are not running out of Ukrainians. They will have enough of them for another 1300 years with this pace of losses. Also the Russia isn't running out of Russians for several centuries at this pace.
What is happening, however, is that the Russia is losing soldiers faster than it can recruit new ones.

He has a lot of videos like that. One of them is him in a room full of cadets. He goes through all the drone innovations that the Russian and Ukrainians have made in the past year and passes around a (disarmed) working €321 drone.
Then he points out that Austria still has the same expensive drone they had years ago and tells the cadets they should be a bit stressed about that.

Hahaahaha

Go buy a tesla

This is not a special military operation. It involves the citizens of both nations directly involved.
The War in Afghanistan.
The War in Iraq.
The War in Gaza.The War in Ukraine. Started by Russia after their puppet government was ousted in Ukraine.
-
You are talking about Russia right?
-
It's also possible they will stop the zapp Brannigan tactics and dig in to wait for the west to lose interest.
-
I've already stated my preferences.
-
Fuck no, i won't buy that nazi shit

*facet, lol, but I wouldn't put it past him!
Let that dink in!

First, Rubio is parroting a wildly accepted fact. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/articles/2024/05/16/7455980/
They've run out of youthful soliders and are drafting older men now.
Second, I'd imagine the pace of losses would accelerate once Ukraine started drafting the elderly and children, but it won't come to that. Also a lot of Ukrainians have already left to dodge the draft.
Lastly, why are we even piddling about troop numbers? They seem insignificant given the larger problems Ukraine is facing. Let's circle back to my original points.
The main, possibly only, glimmer of hope in the article was "assets in and outside Russia had strong evidence that Russian arms production during 2025 has flatlined and is likely to contract, because of parts and labor shortages," and Russia is drafting 100,000 fewer men than last year. That seems well short of "starting to win," unfortunately. Ukraine also appears to be losing 1/3 of their military support if what Zelensky said in the article is true.
Russia is fighting a war of choice but is continuing on with callous disregard for it's own troops. Their arms production is slowing down but so are their drafting efforts. North Korea is providing artillary shells and rockets. Ukraine is losing 1/3 of its military support and its army is aging. Unless they figure out how to fight in a new way that restores their ability to maneuver, then all they can hope for is a negotiated settlement.
-
Not true. Ukraine is the one with the manpower shortage.
-
And I am, I'm just equally anti Russia.
-
True, but air defense is also critical. If Russia gets total air supremacy that changes a lot.
