The top commander of the Ukrainian armed forces has admitted that the situation along the eastern front with Russia has “significantly worsened” amid a renewed push from Moscow’s forces.

Ukrainian commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi — who took over the top post in February following the ousting of Valerii Zaluzhnyi after calling the war a “stalemate” — wrote on Telegram on Saturday that his forces are struggling to cope with escalating assaults being waged by Russia, which he claimed have intensified amid improving weather conditions and the recent “election” in Russia which cemented Vladimir Putin’s hold on power for at least another six years.

Don't worry. Steiner will start his attack and the ghost of Kiev will make a comeback. (S)

but everything will be alright if they get more money

[Darksheare]

They were said to be advancing on all fronts, Russia is incompetent and dumb yet still an unstoppable threat without sucker US money.
It’s shrodinger’s menace.

[mass55th]

Endless stream of sob stories. When is the book and movie coming out?

[BipolarBob]

Lies. All lies. Zelensky has Russia right where he wants them. First he’ll bomb Russia with bales of US money. It’ll be enough to pay off all of their college student loans Biden calculated. This will confuse the Russians into thinking they have already won the war and go back to business as usual. Brilliant! Biden and Zelensky, what a team.

[Da Coyote]

Sorry, but as much as I’d like Ukraine to win, it’s not going to happen. However, if we insist on helping with any actual boots on the ground, I insist on a draft - of ONLY woke turds - so we can let them experience in a very personal way the types of countries that they love to kiss the Obamaholes of. They can be trained by woke folks (e/g., not real military quality), be issued iPads, iPhones, and game consoles loaded with military sim games. Ah, watching them die will be soooo theraputic.

and the recent “election” in Russia

Is that anything like the "elections" in the United States?

Ukraine’s Top General Says Situation on Eastern Front ‘Significantly Worsened’

Well, Ukraine is still top dog in piano playing and dancing in heels.

[tlozo]

You do know, they are asking for weapons?

Destroying our enemies military without one US injury or death is a worthwhile goal and an important warning to China. US spent 5% of its military budget(Donating mostly older weapons) to destroy half of Russia’s military capability with the help of Ukraine

[Darksheare]

We already emptied our reserve.
We don’t have it to give away and producing more takes time.

[Vlad0]

Wow, that's some concentrated bullcrap right there, Tlozo!

Let's state each fallacy clearly:

• The Russians aren't "our enemies". A faction of the USA Deep State, the so-called "Foreign Policy Blob" hates Russia because their Jewish ancestors were treated badly there, and wants revenge. That's most of the NeoCons. Others want a chance for a second pillage of Russia like the one that happened in the 1990s - the horribly designed privitaization that made a few people tremendously wealthy.

  Most Americans have no special animus for Russia or Russians. This is really an inside-the-beltway elite cause, not an organic American one.

• Destroying Russia "without one US injury" -- is a fantasy. We are way way beyond that. The USA has suffered serious injury and continues to. We've lost a lot of weapons, and not just obsolete ones (155mm howitzers are not an obsolete weapon, and the shells are not obsolete ammunition).
  • We've lost prestige in the world.

  • We've lost control of financial institutions that we've maintained to our advantage for decades, like SWIFT.

  • We've forced de-industrialization of our closest allies in Europe, especially Germany. A weak Germnay isn't a "win" unless you are a psychopathic Neocon.

  • We've lost control of Allies. The BRICs has surged during the conflict, in part because the retarded and heavy-handed "sanction packages" of the Biden/Blinken/Yellin trioka of morons has made other nuetral nations recoil in horror at the USA using the dollar as a weapon.

  • So, de-dollarization is now a thing. The loss of reserve status for the US dollar can't be swept under the rug. It's a huge loss for the USA, and it has picked up lots of momentum due to this war.

  • Speaking of the dollar: it's worth less. Because of inlfation, which is exacerbated by the profilgate spending on Ukraine. We already knew that we were in an ugly deficit situation before we decided to bankroll the Zelenskyy caper. Ever dollar spent on Ukraine is - by defintion - a borrowed deficit dollar we pay interest on.
  • Killing peole is inherently a very bad thing. If not always totally immoral, it's certainly something to be avoided if possible. The idea that Ukrainian lives are so cheap that we can feel good about them being spent to win some nebulous geo-political goal is repugnant.

• We haven't made incremental progress on "destroying Russia". Russia is objectively doing quite well.
  • An American general has said the current Russian military is about 20% bigger than the one they had at the start of the war in 2022.

  • Russia's military manufacturing has ramped up significantly because of the war. They are now manufacturing more weapons than the USA and NATO combined.

  • In effect Ukraine has a been a great "training camp" for the Heavyweight contender, Russia. He's put on muscle, lost fat, and boosted his cardio. He's sharped his skills, and he's improved his footwork.

  • This idea that Russia has lost 1/2 of it's military equipment is a fantasy worthy of Denys the Menys (of UMCRevMom@aol.com fame). See the previous point: Russia has a lot of manufacturing capability. They have the sort of manufacturing capability we used to have, until our elites sold it all off and shipped manufacturing to China and Mexico.

  • Russia Can Build 100 Tanks a Month, Retains Capacity to Replace Losses: Intel

    Meanwhile, a lot of our weapons have been shown to be delicate and ineffective. In time learning that is good, but the USA's lack of manufacturing means we can't easily and quickly produce upgraded designs.

    Artillery is breaking in Ukraine. It’s becoming a problem for the Pentagon.

  So I'm sorry Tlozo, but your lazy analysis (one that's been used for a lot of other useless military adventures) "We kill them over there so we don't have to kill them over here" is nonsense.

  No one who is paying attention to what is really going on is going to accept that lame propaganda claim any longer, my FRiend. If you want to make a case for the continuation of the wretched slow-motion military and economic disaster in Ukraine you can try, but if you expect anyone to take it (or you) seriously, you are going to have to do a lot better than the warmed over NeoCon crap you've offered up here.

[BenLurkin]

Russia has never, is not now, and will never be our friend.

And there is plenty of reasons to not like them. Face it — the people of Belarus, Russia, and the Ukraine are basically the same crappy people.

[bravo whiskey]

The top commander of the Wehrmacht has admitted that the situation along the eastern front with Russia has “significantly worsened” amid a renewed push from Moscow’s forces. 1944.

[Mount Athos]

Wow we still have sober people here

[Gaffer]

I’ve long held that the best trained armies in the world were the ones actively fighting a war. For a long period, the US had the edge with Iraq and Afghanistan but Biden’s abandonment of Afghanistan ended that cycle.

As it is now, Russia is - while learning some very painful lessons. It still has resources (manufacturing and economic) to rearm and rebuild. However, UKR is learning more and won’t be able to do anything with it after Biden and the ROW desert him this November. They won’t have the money, manpower or resources to recover when this is over without some Marshall Plan on steroids (which I for one am against.) We need our own Marshall Plan in the US - for us.

[Lumper20]

Biden and family have given Ukraine many billions of OURS.
Biden is the biggest piece of trash along with Bozo.

[Lumper20]

Biden will do anything. He has trashed our USA. Fire the entire Biden family and lock them up. Better to hang them at
