War in Ukraine

As of now 300k Russians are mired in theatre in Ukraine. That doesn’t include the dead obviously, those who rotated out or deserted or were shot while deserting.

Sad not sad!​

 

Ukrainians almost out of ammo but have killed almost all of Wagner. Only three Wagner survive but have managed to encircle Bakhmut.

 

This thread is so weird. One side advocating for US ground and air forces in direct contact and the other side says 6000 Russians KIA so far and 60k in theatre. I honestly can’t tell if eveyone is just trolling each other

 

There’s only 2 obvious trolls here

 

You do know what casualty means, don't you?

 

Incorrect!

 

If the claim is 200K casualties, then that might be accurate or even understated. But casualties includes not only KIA but also combat injuries, missing, and captured.

 

Maybe you’re engaging in some hyperbole, but I don’t recall anyone in this thread urging the introduction of NATO ground troops. I count myself among those arguing in the strongest terms for increasing military pressure on Russia to end this thing Russia has inflicted on Ukraine. But even I have not suggested intervention on the ground. Mainly, it wouldn’t be necessary. With NATO air and maritime support, the Ukrainians could achieve military victory with their ground forces alone. Secondarily, every other form of pressure should be tried first before it comes down to intervention at sea and in the air.

 

If by “NATO air and maritime support” he means aircraft and ships, they would be quickly annihilated.

 

I agree 2 for sure but a couple of others are MAGA parrots that are quasi Putin.

 

Whatever happened to the anti war left ?

Whatever the case, we may be on the verge of WWIII. Or worse. But at least we got rid of Trump!

 

Even Russia’s de facto allies in India laughed uproariously when Russia tried to characterize its unprovoked, dastardly invasion of Ukraine as being “launched against them.”

Crowd erupts in laughter at Russia's top diplomat after he claimed the Ukraine war 'was launched against us'

 

That's gold, Jerry! Gold!

In tweet form for the lazy:

 

Yeah India isn’t doing anything for Russia but buy their discounted oil.

 

Wagner head Prigozhin appealing to Zelensky to allow his child and elderly soldiers to leave Bakhmut with promises that Wagner wouldn’t fire upon them.

 

If you listen carefully to the full statement you can also hear some one yelling "come on."

 

This is on Zelensky. He wasted tens of thousands of lives and to what end ?

 

Giving them diplomatic support in the UN by failing to condemn them is not nothing. India knows right from wrong. They are supporting wrong for purely self interested reasons. I expect that out of a totalitarian state like China, not out of an emerging free-market republic like India. The way India is behaving is a national shame, and we are correct to shame them.
