Conventional wisdom says that in a protracted war of attrition between Russia and Ukraine, Russia would win. Still doesn’t make it right.

Russia may “win” in Ukraine but it has already suffered a catostophic strategic defeat that it cannot reverse. This war has demonstrated to the world that Russia’s conventional military is not the fierce juggernaut that was once so feared. NATO now realizes that Russia could never sustain successful offensive operations against it. The geopolitical ramifications are immense. China now knows that the Russian FarEastern/Pacific underpopulated rich territories and Siberian cannot be defended. China has always coveted those lands. Without the nuclear deterent, which is a very risky defense, Russia would be much smaller.

I was hoping you’d post a picture of yourself. You look more intelligent than your posts would suggest.

LOL, sure that's why Finland and Sweden are joining NATO.

LOL, Finland and Sweden have to cough up their PKK terrorists [who are part of their governments] to the tender mercies of Erdogan before Turkiye will release the approval for that.

Just like the Vietnam proxy war against Russia/China.

Keep pounding the Uke. The more you kill now, is less NATO will have to deal with.

25,000 Russian soldiers would be happy, if they were still alive.

“Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Kyrlo Budnov said his defence forces had withdrawn “to advantageous positions in order to gain tactical superiority” after the Russians razed the city to the ground.

Nina Bondar, who was evacuated from Lysychansk, said: “The city doesn’t exist any more. It has practically been wiped off the face of the Earth.”


Really? Excellent ariel video of Lysychansk that clearly gives the lie to Ukraine’s claim.

Aerial view of #Lisichansk.
It’s reported that the city suffered only minor damage as there wasn’t much street fighting
