You have not disproven the stuff I have posted; hence, the reposting when necessary.
Disprove the 5 to 1 losses Ukraine suffered in their PR stunt Kherson offensive(s).
Maybe disprove the report from a Ukrainian General:
‘Ukrainian general estimates Kiev’s losses at hundreds of thousands since Feb’

Ty for the weird comment.
Please get back to me when you return to Earth.
Strangle their logistics and you strangle their army. In WW2 we did it in Europe with tactical air-power, wrecking the French railroads before the invasion. Looks like Ukraine may accomplish the same thing with guided artillery and drones.
No matter what, Russia’s army has been exposed as a paper tiger. Decades of corruption at every level have hollowed it out. All Putin’s got left, strategically, is trying to strangle Europe’s fuel supplies, and it’s looking like even that is going to fail.
Excuse me I guess you get off on Ukrainian deaths that’s on you.
But if they suffer 10 times the casualties to reclaim their country what exactly is your ridiculous point?
I now know that when the day comes to fight and die for America, many of you “(not) conservatives” will cry “It’s too hard and too many any of us will die! We surrender!”
The Ukrainians don’t give a crap about your tissues pal. It’s their country and they’re fighting for it.
This is not about ‘getting off’ on anything.
Numbers are that, numbers.
If you feel those numbers are touching wrongly, perhaps change the channel, ignore the thread, move along.
William, again, you want a tissue?
AND Ukrainian soldiers morale is through the roof vs Russian conscripts.
Russian conscripts.
Okie dokie.
You do realize that the Ukrainians have largely been fighting Russian Ukrainian militia in the south and southeast Ukraine?
And the Russian forces that have actually been used are far from conscripts unless of course, you consider paratroopers BTG’s as ‘conscripts;.
“The bulk of the fighting from the Russian side is being handled by the militias from the Donbas. Russia has committed only a small fraction of its troops.”
‘Sorting out Ukrainian and Russian Red Herrings’

...paratroopers and BTGs as conscripts....
How much of the Russian invasion is composed of elite troops like the paratroopers? LPR and DPR troops are clearly conscripts. The rest of the Russian army is unmotivated soldiers from the poorest parts of Russia.
Andrei Pozdeyev (far right) and four other conscripts were put before the media in Kyiv on March 14 to embarrass the Kremlin, which had repeatedly denied conscripts were taking part in the war.
You don’t read nor comprehend what you read very well do you?
Most of the fighting has been done by Russian Ukrainian irregulars and militia...only a small fraction of Russian ground forces have been used other than Russian massed artillery.
That one goes right over Willies head. 😂
Amen. FR posters - some old, some new and never seen before - came out of the rotted woodwork to wish nothing but death and destruction on normal Ukranians.
Disgusting.
Where was your voice at when the ZelenskyyIdiot Regime was shelling the Russian Ukrainian citizens in the Donbass etc regions in the south, southeast Ukraine for 8 years?
Disgusting, indeed.
Educate yourself?

Ever beard of the Vietnam War? The countless times it take Afghanistan ending up an utter failure? What was the kill ratio there?
In the end it didn’t matter did it?
I did not bother mentioning Vietnam, etc., simply restricted it to Speedy’s Afghanistan mention.
80% of Russia's combat forces are in Ukraine. The rest of the Russian military is support, not combat forces.
According to analysts, some 200,000 Russian and separatist troops are currently engaged in the fighting, which is a good portion of the total force. "Eighty percent of the Russian army is already in Ukraine

Without Putin's interference in Ukraine, setting up fake 'republics', with his 'little green men' in Donbas there would be no subsequent shooting/war.
You know those claims and assertions can be countered yes?
Example:
US bogus projecting and numbers put Russian forces at 75%.
Regardless, still does not change what I posted and linked, most of the fighting has been done by Russian Ukrainian irregulars and militia and only a small fraction, other than massed Russian artillery, has been utilized.
The only interference in Ukraine was the rigged elections and that was by the US. The ‘fake republics’ you refer to are regions that asked for the Russians to intervene to stop the years of Ukrainian atrocities, shelling, etc. against the Russian Ukrainian citizens in the south and southeast Ukraine region(s).
