NATO just recently stated all Ukraine has to do is ask for NATO troops and they will get them. The question is when do they ask? This is going to get even uglier.
Russia on the brink as Vladimir Putin's men slaughtered during worst day of the war so far
Russia lost a staggering 1,740 troops in a single day, the highest tally of casualties for Moscow since the start of the invasion in 2022, according to Ukraine.
In the previous 24 hours, Ukraine also claimed Russia had lost 30 tanks and 42 armoured vehicles.
Unfortunately the Russians can’t do a war of maneuver at this point, and end this quickly. We saw some of that early in the war, but their main force is a military made up of conscripts to win a war of attrition. So that is what they are doing.
The 6th disintegration is scheduled for the 27th.
This is day 887 of something to be over 800 days ago.
Day 31 still no follow up Iranian attack to the initial probing “fake” attack.
Week 3 still no nukes that were expected maybe three weeks ago.
Day 1078 of the imminent Chinese takeover of Taiwan-the
CCP needs a reminder!
Some say such futility is from years of practice?
It’s over.
Gonna be ugly.
Those reserves are actual members from other units in the line of contact in the East and South. The commander of all AFU forces announced yesterday that he has no RESERVES NOW, and they must canabalize other combat formations for people to haul munitions north, medics, civilian vehicles, mules and on foot.
Lavrov reported to the Duma today for reappointment and they asked him about he diplomicy on Ukraine, and he said the Western leaders have cut all diplomatic ties and they prefer a battlefield solution to the situaiton. Lavrov went on to say that Russia is going to give NATO a battlefield solution that may disingrate NATO.
NATO on the otherhand has stated that they must become a worldwide military organization with members in Korea, the PI, Thailand, Japan, etc., and that NATO will begin to move to the Pacific theater of operations since they have achieved their goals in Ukraine.
Sounds like Ukraine is settled. Russia will continue to wipe out the AFU as they surge into the active kill zones away from the vast areas of Ukraine - Russia is in no mood to put up with NATO troops on ground, or EU boots, and will happily kill all of them. Thus the Pacific Pivot of NATO. Westward expansion if complete.
Saying NATO is a defensive organization is like saying Ukraine is a democracy.
How many Russian men does Putin plan to sacrifice per square mile near Kharkiv?
At some point about a year or so ago Ukraine was able to dislodge Russian forces from the area.
I suspect Ukraine extracted too many troops from the area and the Russians came back.
