    That is a very sobering assessment of the precarious situation Ukraine finds itself in. They have done an amazing job militarily in this David vs. Goliath situation, but when David is out of stones and you keep sending Goliaths shit usually doesn't go too well. I have been happy to see Russia exposed for the bumbling inept dolts that they apparently are, but I sort of always knew that Putin would never let this go, and population and military capacity would one day catch up to Ukraine. This is Alamo shit. The Texans fought valiantly but at some point the ammo ran low and 4000 vs. 200 just gets overwhelming.
    Russia is a slow moving, inefficient giant blob, like always. The blob doesn’t care about losses and will eventually get its shit together, like always.

    PGOS expected them to move like seal team 6 into Kiev and then the English Channel in a few months if we didn’t intervene.
    Check the facts.

    Everyone expected them to take over most of Ukraine. Then likely Moldova, Khazakstan, Georgia, etc.
    Who is everyone?

    Are the Russians engaged in a war with Moldvoa, Khazakstan or Georgia at this time?

    At the start of the war, there was no one - mainstream, underground, on twitter, etc. who thought Russia was not going to have a successful Special Military Operation, comrade.

    Even your boy Biden was telling him to GTFO out of Kyiv on the next jet.
    And about the other republics?


    Russia has been harassing damn near everyone that is a neighbor and former Republic since Putin came to power. They invaded Georgia in 2008. They invaded Ukraine. They had plans to invade Moldova after Ukraine (as revealed by Lukashenko) and had plans (leaked) to then oust Lukashenko and de facto take over Belarus.

    But yeah, its really going out on a limb to suggest they wouldn't do the same thing in the Stans, Georgia, Armenia, and other former USSR footprints....

    Are they not part of NATO like Ukraine too?

    2 million, my ass. 800k is the best estimate, tops. 200k dead, 200-300k casualties.

    Best estimate is 200-250k active fighters left for the Ukes.

    My Sources: Hedges, Macgregor, Ritter, Hersh, you know, actual military brass and journalists.

    Your Sources? CNN, obviously.

    Don't hurt yourself, greenhorn.

    Post the articles/videos/whatever that state 75% of the Ukranian army is destroyed.

    If that were the case, Russia should have no problem taking over Bahkmut while thousands of Ukranian soldiers get trained on better gear in Europe and the US, right?

    But then again, you still think Russia is going to essentially take over all of Ukraine. So you're not exactly living in what we like to call -- reality.

    Florida governor joins Donald Trump in expressing reservations about American involvement in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine


    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a likely 2024 Republican presidential candidate, said Monday evening the U.S. shouldn’t necessarily help defend Ukraine against Russia’s invasion and instead focus its resources on issues closer to home.

    “While the U.S. has many vital national interests—securing our borders, addressing the crisis of readiness within our military, achieving energy security and independence, and checking the economic, cultural, and military power of the Chinese Communist Party—becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them,” Mr. DeSantis said in a statement broadcast on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” on Fox News.

    The statement was in response to a questionnaire Mr. Carlson’s show sent to all major prospective GOP presidential candidates.

    “We cannot prioritize intervention in an escalating foreign war over the defense of our own homeland, especially as tens of thousands of Americans are dying every year from narcotics smuggled across our open border and our weapons arsenals critical for our own security are rapidly being depleted,” Mr. DeSantis said.

    “Of course 2024 MAGA Republicans Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis would use Tucker Carlson’s platform to announce they’d rather side with Vladimir Putin than Ukraine and democracy,’’ said [@Mellodawg], spokesman for the Democratic National Committee. “This is just the latest example of how the race for the MAGA base means 2024 Republicans will take exceedingly extreme positions, even if it undermines our allies and democracy.”

    The governor’s statement is an expansion of remarks he made on “Fox & Friends” last month when he argued current U.S. policy in relation to Ukraine has been “effectively a blank check.”

    Mr. DeSantis’ statement places him in a position similar to one taken by former President Donald Trump, who called the war “disastrous” during a campaign appearance Monday evening in Davenport, Iowa, and said if re-elected he would work to rapidly negotiate an end.

    Both men have taken positions in contrast to strong support for Ukraine offered by other declared and prospective GOP presidential candidates, including former Vice President Mike Pence, former United Nations ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina.
