RE: The title: {Putin wants to slice up Kazakhstan now that he’s lost Ukraine war}

How did they come up with this conclusion? The war is still being fought even a I write this.

Putins 3 day drags on to over 160 days. Yet according to his toadies on FR Ukraine’s military is collapsing and for some strange reason the all powerful Russian army is not advancing and is stalemated. Kinda strange.

An example of how pathetic the Ukrainian defense is:

https://twitter.com/ChuckPfarrer/status/1555303032765702151?s=20&t=Wx3YEzkBKDGybnx9QuZ_Rg

TEXTBOOK AMBUSH: UKR Signals Intelligence identified a meeting of Russian field commanders, and laid an ambush on their return. Note that the Anti-Tank Guided missile was sighted on the approach to a turn, when the lead vehicle slowed to make the curve, they fired.

6 Russian commanders and 5 regular soldiers were on their way back from a meeting at a command and control center.

The Ukrainians had prepared an ambush.

All 11 are reported to be dead.

[Kazakhstan has significantly boosted its defence spending while seeking to strengthen ties with China and Nato nations]


The amusing thing about this, as John Derbyshire pointed out many years ago, is that after contentious discussions with China over territorial disputes decades ago, Nursultan Nazarbayev moved the nation’s capital from Almaty 800 road miles away to Astana (now Nursultan) - hundreds of miles away from both the Chinese and Russian borders. Frankly, if Ukraine retains its independence at the conclusion of this special military operation, its leader would be well-advised to move its capital far away from the Belarusian and Russian borders, much as Bonn, a small town in Germany, served as the West German capital for decades, and remains a united Germany’s second capital. A dictatorship needs to keep its capital near its biggest troop concentrations, as coup insurance. A democracy doesn’t.

Your addition to the title is delusional, Russia hasn’t lost the UKraine war by a long shot. Right now I would say if they are winning on all fronts.

lol...How exactly has Putin and Russia lost the war in Ukraine?

You're nuts. The Russians will control everything east of the Napier river and the entire Black Sea coastline by the time this is over...at minimum. The ONLY thing that could prevent that is unconditional Ukrainian surrender.

Ukraine headed toward being a rump, landlocked state.

People like you don't live in the real world.

Feel free to write Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst, at his website, Sonar 21, and explain to him how Russia is losing the war:

https://sonar21.com/contact/

From Johnson:

When you consider the fact that Ukraine’s armed forces outnumbered the Russians who invaded by a factor of 3 to 1, then you have to ask–exactly what “advantage” does the outnumbered Russian army enjoy? The answer is simple–Russia has air supremacy, superior intelligence and electronic warfare capabilities. It is targeting Ukrainian forward command centers and destroying senior brigade and regimental commanders. This strategy decapitates the chain of command on the frontlines and subjects the troops crouching in trenches and bunkers to seemingly unrelenting barrages of missiles and artillery shells. The result is simple–it demoralizes the troops.

###

Russia’s attack in the Donetsk Republic, which is being led on the ground by the militias from Donetsk and Luhansk, has intensified over the last two weeks. Ukraine’s casualties have doubled. The Russians are killing around 1000 a day. For readers in the United States this means that Ukraine has suffered more KIA in one week than the United States forces in Iraq lost during the entire conflict in Iraq (2003-2014). The Ukrainian army cannot sustain such losses and remain combat effective.

Something tells me that the horribly oppressive Communist Russia is in complete shock at losing this war. Perhaps we should lighten up on those sanctions a bit?

Russia losing, lol.

Gee, Kazakstan is increasing military spending, it couldn’t be because we tried to overthrow their government earlier this year? Could it?
