How is Putin’s “3 day war” (sorry; “special military operation” lol), coming along? |
Indeed. |
Is it inevitable yet? |
Pretty good given you guys keep repeating this talking point every time a new city falls. But being real, Russia did defeat Ukraine in 3 days, then NATO tagged in and we're on slow-burn to WW3. Nobody wants that except a small cabal of, let's call them neocons for now, who also seem to have their hands full with other crisis. So this is their last shot at some global conflagration that they've been dreaming about. |
By "new city falling" you mean some collection of 3 farmers houses. Russia still controls less than 20% of Ukraine, and it has been at a staggering cost of almost 100 Russian casualties per square kilometer. And you sound stupid pretending like Russia is directly fighting NATO in Ukraine. That's straight up Kremlin propaganda. Take a hike. |
So Ukraine stole the plans for Russia’s newest nuclear submarine.
“ Kyiv announced it has stolen combat instructions and technical diagrams off the Knyaz Pozharsky, threatening the Kremlin’s strategic position in the region Ukraine claims to have pulled off a major hacking operation, obtaining classified data on a new Russian nuclear submarine and revealing potential vulnerabilities as Moscow intensifies its military presence in the Arctic. Beginning service in late July, the Knyaz Pozharsky is a state-of-the-art nuclear submarine — a key element of Moscow’s nuclear triad. It is permanently based in Gadzhiyevo, Murmansk Oblast, and part of Russia’s Northern Fleet. The hack potentially exposes the limitations of not only this submarine but the entire Borei class fleet, which underpins Russia’s strategic position in the Arctic.“ https://www.thetimes.com/world/russia-ukraine-war/article/ukraine-hacks-russian-submarine-as-moscow-expands-arctic-presence-2tmwc8dn5 Wonder if Russia will be able to build this sub? They are running out of money. |
except when the US president sells out its allies US AND RUSSIA PLAN TRUCE DEAL TO CEMENT PUTIN'S GAINS IN UKRAINE -- BLOOMBERG NEWS |
DP Putin can not stop this war. If the war stops Putin has serious problems. Oh and there will be no truce. Ukraine and the EU are the main players. The US has become a bystander in this conflict. |
Ukraine getting bufu’d |
Zelensky is a sorry A*S clown. |
Now Trump will hand deliver Alaska to Putin.
|
Sure dude. Trump is meeting with Putin one on one. Trump is going to give away the store while Putin has his way with him. Trump will then thank Putin. |
Why would Europe and Ukraine agree to this? |
Duh, because of this July 2025 poll of Ukrainians:
https://news.gallup.com/poll/693203/ukrainian-support-war-effort-collapses.aspx “Most Ukrainians now favor ending the war with Russia through negotiations, as support for fighting until victory has dropped sharply since the early days of the conflict. Although their hopes for joining NATO and the European Union have faded and approval of U.S. leadership has plummeted, Ukrainians still see the EU, U.K. and U.S. as key to ending the war. Yet, most doubt that will happen anytime soon. More than three years into the war, Ukrainians’ support for continuing to fight until victory has hit a new low. In Gallup’s most recent poll of Ukraine — conducted in early July — 69% say they favor a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible, compared with 24% who support continuing to fight until victory. This marks a nearly complete reversal from public opinion in 2022, when 73% favored Ukraine fighting until victory and 22% preferred that Ukraine seek a negotiated end as soon as possible.“ What happened to anti-war Dems? |
Europe doesn't really have the capability to support Ukraine. Some are bumping up defense spending to 5 percent of GDP now, but it's a little late. The reality is that Europeans and Canada have been parasitical countries for decades, simply relying on the US. And now they have the most significant war since WWII and Donald Trump to deal with with. And they are completely unprepared. Europe is saying the right things now - and some countries, like Poland, the Baltics, and the Nordics have been on top of things. But good lord, western European countries have been pathetic for so many decades that it's going to be difficult to ramp them up for a major threat. But they do seem committed to supporting Ukraine - in their easygoing, no hurry, comfortable way. If you are ever dependent on Canada, or Spain, or Belgium, or Italy, just surrender and get it done with. Absolutely pathetic countries. But some countries are stepping up, like Germany, Netherlands and France - and the Nordic countries and Eastern Europe. But the war in Ukraine is a very high intensity war. And NATO doctrine doesn't accommodate long wars. There isn't enough ammo out there to support three years of war. And then add the changing nature of warfare - drones - and it's clear the lazy West isn't prepared for this. At all. Ukraine will have to make its choice. But this war does highlight how inadequate the US and the West are in near peer conflict. The US has air power now, and long may it continue. But it is a grim battlefield today. Unsurvivable for soldiers on the ground. And Russian men have a very bizarre willingness to die. They are riding motorcycles now on their assaults over open land - and getting destroyed by drones, mines, and dialed-in artillery. The whole thing is sad and awful. |
