Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose

i have a script that runs in the background while i browse lemmy that automatically downvotes any post from a known tankie or tankie instance that appears on my screen, and upvotes literally everything else ahead of them.
it broke a while ago though. i should fix it

I like how this reminds me of picking in stellaris between genocide and biological assimilation.
-
Kharkiv and Kursk come to mind.
-
Kharkiv? That was in 2022, wasn't it? And the incursion into the Kursk province has been a better success than expected. What had you thought it would result with? It became the most important part of the front.for Ukraine. I'd say it is a great success, but how is it a counterattack? And how does that show that something big was promised but failed? What had been promised, to your knowledge?
-
I never said Ukraine would collapse, but they're not winning for the reasons I already mentioned
-
The economy, while struggling, is far from collapsing and popular support is almost a non issue. Russia is not drafting. Without a draft, most soldiers joining do so voluntarily, so there is not as much resistance. They have to pay a lot of money to make people sign up to go fight a war and the extra competition for labor (army vs factories) is increasing wages in many categories. The ones most unhappy about the situation are the oligarchs who have to pay for all of it. So unfortunately, betting on Russia somehow collapsing anytime soon is probably a loosing bet.
The more likely bottleneck for Russia is equipment and volunteers for the Army. Their Soviets stockpiles are starting to run low. And, if Russia runs out of people willing to sign up for money, they may be forced to either end to war or start drafting with all the issues that brings.
I base this mostly on Perun YT channel, that has many videos doing in depth analysis of various aspects of the war.

Russia has been slowly gaining territory back in Kursk.
In June 2024, Ukrainian forces began small-scale counterattacks in the Kharkiv region and recaptured a settlement. -
Ukraine is taking horrendous losses that we should be more concerned about. Stay focussed on Ukraine succeeding, not just Russia failing
-
At a minimum we can say that Russia has transitioned pretty well into a war economy. It is an economic transition that is going very nice for the working class. For a long time OSINT has shown nearly depleted reserves of equipment, but they have gone very light infantry. I think it is concerning they might eek out a pyrrhic victory. It is hard to say how much longer they can stretch what is left.

I'm talking about reality, better get used to it
-
hahahaaaaaaa still ibelieve your fantasy news?

-

No healthcare, sick days, massive homelesnzss and junkies.
The US is a shithole. -
yes kidnapped ukranian teens are so muck better trained.
-
cope and wishful thinking.
And propaganda mostly -
Lol what? Russia does not have air superiority. You need a functioning air force for that. They're to scared to fly anything and Moscow has been hit by Ukrainian drones.
Lol air superiority. Lol I say.
-
To be fair that's a proxy war between the US and the Arab world.
It was always going to end one way. People are mostly desensitized and the Oct events pushed the majority off the fence. Which was kinda the point. It's a rats nest and anyone trapped there is unfortunately walking dead trapped between the gears of globalism.
American voters had zero say in it.
-
And god I hope they keep going and keep winning.
