For every dollar spent on stingers and javelins it is destroying ten dollars in Russian equipment. US and western countries has some of the best design and logistics for weapons of any country on the planet. These portable weapons systems is only a small part of the overall amount of weapons in the US and EU arsenal. It would be embarrassing to think that a small regional war can deplete the arsenal of the US and allies. Given the copious billions that the US and allies spends and the billions of dollars in the stock piles of weapons that was manufactured for the last 20 years stored globally around the world it is inconceivable to run out. The Ukraine war is only been going on for the last two months and already the Russians already burned through the same amount of weapons and men that they did in 10 years of fighting in Afghanistan. The Russians are hurting not just due to military losses but also loss of advanced technology that the west supplies to make their smart weapons. Their drones are a joke of cobbled together consumer parts. So no I do not believe that industrial base of the US and allies will take long to catch up. Example is WWII when US and allies had zero tank production to full tank production in months not years to fight Germany. When US and allies have a goal and will, great thing will be accomplish when that goal is during war time to make many weapons. I feel sorry for the army on the receiving end which is Russian troops. The free enterprise system is much mote flexible and adaptable than central communist planned systems of government and industry. Good luck winning the Ukrainian war Putin.

So… War, famine, extermination of the population, destruction of industry and economy in Ukraine by the Russian Federation is a plan for Ukraine to join the European Union? Wicked sinners from Washington and Brussels are bloodshed in your hands. You will answer to GOD for everything… May the Lord God give you my torment in hell and Gehena fiery with the devil for the crimes of your political power in Ukraine. This is your policy of bribing corrupt officials and politicians of Ukraine with loans from international financial organizations pursuing the US policy of weakening Russia, committed a crime with one goal of laundering money in Ukraine and destroying the economic development of Ukraine and Russia… You have forced the political leadership of Russia to start a war for the geopolitical balance between NATO and the Russian Federation…. BE CURSED.

The Kremlin today announced that even Woman would take part in the Special Military operation. This statement confounded Ukrainian military leaders and common Ukrainian soldiers who were under the impression that Russian Woman made the first few waves of the attack. Units are requesting permission to stop being “gentlemanly” in their attacks on Russian forces. 😂

(Disclaimer: I certify the above comment to be motivated entirely by sarcasm and an inner desire to mock Russian soldiers, Russian tactics, Russian equipment, Russian politics, Russian fascism, Russian Aggression, Russian War Crimes, Russian Murders of the most helpless, Russian cowardice, The Gaul of Russians to even call themselves soldiers and the outright lack of curtesy they show by littering Ukrainian land with their corpses.
It is NOT meant to suggest woman would less of a threat. At this point, after seeing how Russian “soldiers” fight, I’m sure a determined group of woman would make quick work of them! Brave Ukrainian warriors who just happen to be woman, routinely reduce the Russia population!

One of the best things about all this is the rout of the Russian bots on social media. Go back and look at all the things they were saying. They are now reduced to claiming the West is evil, generally, recycling old slurs about Iraq and Vietnam, and claiming Putin is about to unleash his cunning plan, any minute now.
Here is a little something for them:
The Lies Russia Tells to Justify its War on Ukraine -New York Times ( google this)
Most Russia supporters who repeat them are sincerely deluded, authoritarian types who don’t care, or fools who want attention. But a small, but real amount of them are Russian propagandists, paid to spread these stories on social media. Here is a guess at what they will do when their cause collapses:
ODE TO A RUSSIAN BOT
(After Dunsany)
What will you bray when Putin’s gone
Hee-hawing Rusbot?
When Putin leaves you lying alone, with dead terminal, and microphone
Rusbot my boy?
How will the little jackal be fat,
Rusbot my liar,
When the bear is dead and his hide's a mat?
(And a nasty, mangy bear mat at that)
Rusbot my boy.
Alone with his fleas on every limb,
Lord Haw-haw Rusbot
He cares no more for them than the whim
Of the bear had ever bothered with him,
My poor lying boy.
You'll have to find another dictator,
Rusbot my liar,
Or write some plugs, and be the narrator
Of an ill-famed house down near the equator.
From some such place we'll hear of you later,
Rusbot my boy.

Contrary to the Russian bots here, NATO expected Ukraine to lose. Not wanted, expected.
A day after Putin launched his invasion, General Sir James Everard, a former cavalry officer and ex-Nato Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe said that he fully expected Putin to have the war finished within 21 days; he anticipated that many of Ukraine’s valiant defenders would be destroyed in a rapid shock and awe firestorm. But the lightning dash has turned into a war of attrition with Russia turning to mediaeval tactics, as seen with the destruction of Mariupol.
Russia’s leader has combined a major strategic miscalculation with tactical stupidity on a scale unprecedented in recent times. Four weeks after the launch of his special military operation, his generals have failed to achieve any of their planned objectives. Advances on all fronts have stalled and no decisive battles have been won. There have even been reports (currently unverified) of Russian units being encircled by Ukrainian forces near Kyiv.
There is a useful military adage often used by generals in times of war: no plan survives contact with the enemy. Vladimir Putin’s plan, it now appears, didn’t even survive contact with his own troops.
He has arrested his intelligence chief, FSB.
Stalin would have shot him.
Along with these dumb-ass generals of his.
Tell the Russian bots: this is not a cunning plan by Putin. Unless his plan is to put the enemy off guard by appearing to be totally stupid, then run a double bluff by actually being totally stupid.
This is a monumental FUBB.
This is legend.

lel TLDR comparing Russian casualties with USA and a third world country. Of course the casualties would be lower cuz they have fewer ammunition.

I don’t think it is a stalemate when Ukraine cities are burning, population is leaving and civilians are dying. It’s like blood leaking out of the heart, a slow death is more likely than stalemate. It is like crypto HODL, but it never recovers.

When the ground has dried out, it could be a different story. The Russians have their forces in place and will be able to spread out.
There can be no winners in this conflict. It just needs to stop, and the warring parties got round a table. The Russian demands were not unreasonable: no EU, no NATO and a redrawing of Stalin's borders, which also include bits of Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The Russian mistake was to step up the war. This is not a conflict outsiders should take a sides over.

Relatively little ?
150,000 km2 is the size of Italy . How tf is that small ? . It took NATO to capture Iraq with 570,000 troops and 37 days to which was around 120,000 .

Consider:
If Putin thinks his invasion isn't working, he'll just nuke Kyiv. And warn the world beforehand, daring them to shoot back.
"As America did to Japan, Russia will do to Ukraine. Break morale to save lives." – An obvious lie, but a photogenic one.

South Osetia is not a country! It's Russian-backed separatists in Georgia, just like LNR/DNR. You got you map wrong by incorporating whole Georgian territory minus Abkhazia (Also russian-backed separatists). You have huge audience and wrong information contributes to Russian propaganda. I love your content, but this mistake hits hard. Slava Ukraine.

only thing which hurts my ears is everyone saying "keev" not "kyiv". try pronouncing 9 in japanese (kyu) first, then go to "kyev", then finally to "kyiv". there is a "y" sound in there (ya, ye, yi, yo, yu)

Imagine developing a massive disinformation campaign. Now imagine starting to believe your own disinformation. Now imagine starting a war based on those (basically wrong) beliefs. Whatever happens after all this, Putin loses.
@Ragnarok540
February 27, 2024 at 7:39 am
It seems Putin really was thinking "maybe they won't shoot back". Now this is going to take years and thousands of deaths, seems like mostly in the invading side.

It really shows how differently Russia views logistics and supply in war, compared to the West.
At least I can speak for the Finnish army, which is originally trained and founded on German army principles. We have doctrine where the soldiers who are part of the logistics and supply, are also trained and equipped fighters. Even though their role is not to be the spearhead, they have been just as well trained for combat to fight off ambushes. We have trained front line cooks that prepare a warm meal for soldiers every day, whenever possible. These guys get trained in the same fighting skills as the normal infantry, but their specialized role is to also know how to cook and use the field kitchen. It was really nice when camping out at an exercise dug in to practice defending a position, to get a warm sausage or pea soup, or meatballs and potatoes.
Surviving on MRE packs for a couple of weeks is fine on a recon task, or in an especially hot situation where there is no time to stay still long enough to cook. But it really starts to chew through morale if you never get a properly cooked warm meal for months.
The truck drivers we have, are also trained to react in ambush situations, to call for backup and retreat, even to fire back. And they often work with APCs for escort.
Russian forces seem to lack all of this. They have MRE packs that expired years ago. No field kitchens. Supply trucks are not escorted, and the drivers react poorly to being engaged.
