From one of the very very very few eastern bloc analysts - who within an hour of prig’s tantrum — had sussed out that it was going to be a nothing burger

I am just a lowly poster on DCUM but I also told y’all it was a nothingburger

A nothingburger doesn't force Putin to raise local armies across the country. Silly comment.

"The creation of “specialized companies” to “ensure public safety” and defend Russia’s borders is now permitted thanks to new rules that the Kremlin discreetly approved last week.
Officials have not specified what responsibilities specifically will be assigned to mercenaries or why they are required in addition to Russia‘s territorial army and national guard.
However, the Russian president recently made a suggestion that he wants to alter the status of the numerous private military firms that operate in Russia but are not “legally existing.”"

The article was from a website focused on Africa. You know, the place Putin is trying to woo. They don't seem to think it's a nothingburger?

I bet a Russian deep cover agent in the US reading all of this would be super freaked out? I mean, in total fear of what would happen next and tanking up on vodka with a bucket. I hear that spies loyal to one regime don't do so well in the next? Something about can never tell where loyalties lie? Yeah. That would suck big-time.

The Russians have a significant air superiority. But they also have an advantage on the ground. Even the Ukrainians themselves admit that they fire 4,000 shells a day, while Russia fires 20,000.
The ratio of losses in equipment and personnel is 5 to 1 in favor of Russia. Zelensky's regime is severely hampered by its lack of human resources.

I don't think that the biggest disadvantage Ukraine faces is so much the amount of military equipment, which, by the way, is not always of high quality, because the West supplies Kiev with outdated equipment. Ukraine's greatest vulnerability is its people, or rather a lack of them. Its best fighters have long been dead.

Unless NATO directly step into the conflict, Ukraine's defeat is only a matter of time. The West's policy of prolonging the Ukrainian conflict is only leading to more casualties on both sides.

The sad thing is that US and Europe do not care, because their main goal is not the victory of Ukraine, but the weakening of Russia. They are willing to let Ukraine be destroyed to achieve that goal. I feel sorry for the poor Ukrainians. They have been misled by their corrupt leaders, who are using this war to enrich themselves.

Yeah. Straight-up Russian propaganda. I don't see the Ukrainians doing things like this:

"Russians had installed a crematorium on the premises of a former local children sanatorium, burning the bodies of their soldiers there."
https://news.yahoo.com/powerful-explosion-rocks-melitopol-near-082100085.html

“The problem with Russian bodies is really huge. It’s thousands of them. Before the war, the weather was cold, it was okay but now we have problems because Russians don’t want to take the bodies,” Andrusiv said. “I actually don’t know what we will do in the next weeks with their bodies.”
https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/23/europe/ukraine-war-russian-soldiers-deaths-cmd-intl/index.html

"the state-owned Ukrainian Railways, said in a statement on its website that it had provided Ukraine’s armed forces with 20 refrigerated cars for the removal of dead Russian soldiers from several areas, including Odesa. Just 72 hours later, Ukrzaliznytsia’s chairman posted a message on his personal Telegram channel saying that Russia never came to load them. “For the sake of ‘victorious’ propaganda, they are ready to deprive mothers of even the opportunity to bury the bodies,”

LOL you don't see it bc there are no news out of Ukraine, just press releases.

No, hun. It's Russia kicking out or assassinating the reporters. Go fish.

Let's not talk about press freedom in other countries after the U.S. has moved heaven and earth to bring down Julian Assange for breaking bogus laws passed by countries of which he is not a citizen. For the impardonable sin of making America look bad, the man is now staring at life in prison.

Wow. Seriously? Julian Assange? lol. Sorry, but the list of hundreds of murdered and assassinated journalists by Russia is more important than some washed up has-been (who will go to jail when he stops freeloading off of chumps..)

LOL if a genuine pencildick like Eliot Abrams can bounce around DC serving one admin after the other despite a criminal record...then depend upon it, a line intelligence agent will be just fine. Besides, regimes in Russia don't change as often as here.

You really come up with the most outlandish of theories. Cyprus cultural centers....deep cover agents...have you thought about writing Harlequin novels? You have the right style.

Really outdated information. Russia’s artillery advantage has evaporated. Their troops are largely made up up tired conscripts not being adequately supplied, trained, or rotated. They’re not risking their air assets. I struggle to find anything accurate in your analysis.

You are the only one who believes that Ukraine's offensive is going well and they are winning the fight.
Even the Ukrainian are admitting that their offensive is failing.
https://nypost.com/2023/08/01/ukrainian-troops-on-front-line-admit-russia-troops-tougher-than-expected-in-counteroffensive/
When they are whining like this, you can be certain that the situation is worst than what they are describing in this article.

Talk to me in two years. I think the War will be over by then. Russia can't sustain this trajectory. Even if tomorrow there is a Russian counteroffensive that instantly recaptures Kiev, how will they occupy the country? Keep everyone there for years? What about the Russian soldiers killed? What excuse will the Kremlin have when the dead kids don't phone home? At that point even the Kremlin can't hide the losses. Then what do you think will happen?

Nothing wrong with posting public articles from the Internet. You're free to post them too. Isn't that what DCUMS is all about? Armchair Quarterbacking in open discussion?

I'm just a Bystander, after all.

Your theory assumes Russia will keep incurring casualties without a corresponding trajectory on the Ukrainian side.

Putin never wanted to occupy the entire country. You have to look past bombastic statements and examine the actions. Read the latest Mearsheimer to understand.

I don't think so. Russia doesn't have good soldiers anymore. Both VDV and Spetznaz have been wiped out. Their military hardware losses are extreme - more than 2500 documented tank losses. Thousands more armored personal carriers. Artillery too. Despite their initial air advantage, they can't fly anymore. Both airplanes and helicopters. There are still a few Mi-24s and similar causing damage. But they're getting shot down every week.

None of this is replaceable.

There is zero chance that Russia will ever be able to comfortably occupy Ukraine.

This really is about how weak does Russia want to become?

This is awesome for the west. Russia is destroying itself. Long may it continue. Russia gets weaker every day. Strategically, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a beautiful gift to the rest of the world. All their good soldiers are already dead. Now it's just the convicts and untrained mobiks. It's a meat grinder. Russia is losing several thousand young men every week.

Go for it, Russia. It's pathetic, but it makes the world a simpler place.

LOL that's where you're wrong. The bad and the dumb are dead already. What's left is seasoned and competent. And don't forget: Ukraine's casualty rate is every bit as scary. Russia is taking casualties but they are giving casualties as well. Their military machine is churning out artillery just fine.

TLDR: if things were as bad as you say, Ukraine would have gotten all its land back by now. The battlefield speaks for itself.

The Russians have a significant air superiority. But they also have an advantage on the ground. Even the Ukrainians themselves admit that they fire 4,000 shells a day, while Russia fires 20,000.
The ratio of losses in equipment and personnel is 5 to 1 in favor of Russia. Zelensky's regime is severely hampered by its lack of human resources.

I don't think that the biggest disadvantage Ukraine faces is so much the amount of military equipment, which, by the way, is not always of high quality, because the West supplies Kiev with outdated equipment. Ukraine's greatest vulnerability is its people, or rather a lack of them. Its best fighters have long been dead.

Unless NATO directly step into the conflict, Ukraine's defeat is only a matter of time. The West's policy of prolonging the Ukrainian conflict is only leading to more casualties on both sides.

The sad thing is that US and Europe do not care, because their main goal is not the victory of Ukraine, but the weakening of Russia. They are willing to let Ukraine be destroyed to achieve that goal. I feel sorry for the poor Ukrainians. They have been misled by their corrupt leaders, who are using this war to enrich themselves.

I don't think so. Russia doesn't have good soldiers anymore. Both VDV and Spetznaz have been wiped out. Their military hardware losses are extreme - more than 2500 documented tank losses. Thousands more armored personal carriers. Artillery too. Despite their initial air advantage, they can't fly anymore. Both airplanes and helicopters. There are still a few Mi-24s and similar causing damage. But they're getting shot down every week.

None of this is replaceable.

There is zero chance that Russia will ever be able to comfortably occupy Ukraine.

This really is about how weak does Russia want to become?

This is awesome for the west. Russia is destroying itself. Long may it continue. Russia gets weaker every day. Strategically, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a beautiful gift to the rest of the world. All their good soldiers are already dead. Now it's just the convicts and untrained mobiks. It's a meat grinder. Russia is losing several thousand young men every week.

Go for it, Russia. It's pathetic, but it makes the world a simpler place.

You're saying that the Russia Spetsnaz are part of the dumb and the stupid? That checks out.

"Nearly half of Ukrainians held in detention centers in Kherson by Russian forces were subjected to widespread torture including sexual violence, according to a new report published Wednesday.

The report, compiled by the Mobile Justice Team, part of the UK, EU and US-sponsored Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group (ACA), and was set up by international human rights law firm and foundation, Global Rights Compliance, in April 2022, and is led by world-renowned British Barrister, Wayne Jordash KC. The team’s work is primarily funded by the EU.

Torture and sexual violence by Russian forces: At least 36 victims from the pool analyzed mentioned the use of electrocution during interrogations, often genital electrocution by Russian guards. Other victims mentioned threats of genital mutilation, and at least one victim was forced to witness the rape of another detainee by a foreign object covered in a condom."

Here's one thing in which Russian soldiers are actually seasoned and competent.

This is probably a warning to Zelensky: https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraines-plan-volodymyr-zelenskyy-dies-russia-war/
There are factions in NATO that would love to get rid of him, and pin it on Russia. He seems to have outlived his usefulness, and is about to find out just how the US treats "allies."
