They do not fully control any of these claimed provinces.
Majority of the individual regions, are controlled by Russia and they are incrementally gaining ground and moving forwards, not backwards.
The way war winning is measured is by the losses inflicted upon the enemy, Ukraine has fielded three reconstituted armies, the first two were obliterated by Russia. The Ukrainians are losing 8-10 soldiers per one Russian soldier. That is a huge margin and by any count, that puts Russia in a commanding position.
Well Cherson capital for one…
Oh yeah, Kherson, the old scooter that every pro-Western yuppie brings up whenever they want to prove that Ukraine is winning. Well if Ukraine is winning so much, why has it not taken the whole of Kherson Region yet? What's stopping you from accomplishing this task?
Based on russian data. Effect sanctions will be felt in time.
So Moody, Fitch and Standard & Poors must have wrong then!! Good to know
The west demolished soviet union. Russia is a poorer/smaller remains of that.
You need to go back to university and study political science all over again. Because if you think the West defeated the Soviet Union on its own, then you're a bigger fool than I thought.
If the West did not have the support from the rest of the world, this was not possible no matter how hard you tried. The rest of the world believed that America was on the side of Good, seeing how it along with the Soviet Union, defeat Nazi Germany.
Today, the world has woken up to the lies, the wars, the plunder of other nations' wealth and the duplicitous attitude of the West. It took two world wars and 30 years of dominance reach the point the West stands today. And today the world is watching how there are alternatives to the West with the rise of Russia, China, Brazil, Iran, India and South Africa.
We scored better economically then russia?
Given your call sign "ZeGerman," Germans are reeling from the economic sanctions of Russia with all the protests going in Berlin, Frankfurt, Hanover and Dresden. Still think you are scoring better than Russia?
If you're living in the West, you would know that things are getting more and more expensive there. London has lost its status as the Financial Capital of the World, Housing Prices in London are set to fall by 10% as reported by British Media. In America the cost of fuel and food is continually rising, where more and more Americans are going to Food Banks set up Churches. Heck in Chicago, we see Americans lining up at Ramadan Iftar Camps for food as Muslims fast in the Holy Month of Ramadan.
But hey, if you still want to wear the cloak of superiority, then by all means go ahead. But it won't change the rapid sense of realization around the world that the West is collapsing and rightly deserves it due its naked aggression against weaker nations.
Russia lost half its armor.
Where is your evidence? Prove it!!?
America sent 31 abrams tanks from 6000 stock
Again, back tour claims with evidence.
What the **** are you talking about?
Russia is digging heavy into soviet stocks and wont even be a threat to poland soon.
Show me your evidence to prove your point? And watch your damn mouth. We are here to discuss, if you want to stoop to the of being an illiterate, then I will NOT respond to your posts.
Like the russian armata?
Russia is the only one constantly threathening with nukes. A sign of weakness
If today, China was supplying weapons to Mexico in order to fight rebels supported by America, I'm damn sure Washington will be threatening with nukes as well.
And its not a sign of weakness, its a BLUNT WARNING, and if the West does not take it seriously. Then the consequences of which lay squarely on the West's shoulders.
Wrong again.
Russia population and power is immensely concentrated to western russia. This makes it more vulnerable in nuclear exchange.
Sorry when was it that America deployed in "Active Combat Duty" hypersonic weapons?? ..... Errr ... has NOT to Date!!!!!
So basically your entire post is full of shit argumentation and lies….gtfo
You know its the go to line for each and every pro-Western motard, when they are given a reality check. So keep yapping bud, your arguments are predictable, the lies are exposed, the hypocrisy is for all to witness and it is GAME OVER for the West.
So keep flapping about, Mr. Keyboard Warrior. You're doing a great job!!!
