Anyone here who thinks Rosgvardia are elite Russian troops is downright ignorant. They aren't even conventional troops, which proves they aren't sending their best troops in Phase 1. Yes they've used some VDV (the only credible point you have but VDV role has been minor), Rosgvardia, and Chechen...
Western (US, UK) intel early in the war reported Russia's invading force for Ukraine was mostly made up of junior conscripts, paramilitary, Kadyrov's Chechen troops, and some military regulars.

I told you to check your basic facts but obviously that was too much to ask lay folks like you. You claimed Russia spends at least half of its $60bn military budget on supporting its nuclear forces, the fact is nobody publicly knows the actual amount they spend as that is classified information...
"At least half goes on their massive nuclear force". No, you really don't know what you're talking about. Your basic facts are wrong.
And secondly, Putin did not declare "war" on Ukraine he declared a special military operation. One is a subset of the other. If this was a full out war for...
You've got to wise up, where have you been the past month? Russia is using a force mostly made up of paramilitary, Chechen forces, conscripts, and some army regulars for a total of 130k vs Ukraine's 200k and has only lightly used its air and naval power. They are fighting this war with their C...
I doubt Iranians are behind this, as in, they aren't the mastermind. Iran has no interest firing over on Pakistani territory. However, def needs to be investigated and action taken against those involved.
If the report of several PTI ministers may vote against IK is true then it is looking bad for IK in terms of votes. He will have to win those 12-24 folks back and maintain army backing to complete his final year of his first term as PM.
Does Ukraine have the right to join NATO? Yes. Does Russia have the right to protect its national security? Yes.
Both conditions are true and not mutually exclusive events. Why don't you and the pro-Ukraine/NATO people don't understand this? Virtually everything comes with inherent consequences.
The number I quoted is from 2 days ago. What 90% are you referring to? If its the info below then this 90% figure has nothing to do what number of Russian forces intact...
Yeah and the Pentagon is concluding something different.

Not looking good for NATO's sacrificial lamb.
The missile appears to have been intercepted or malfunctioned on its own and crashed landed. It definitely did not crash reaching its target if it had any set target. Either it was guided and was intercepted, it was not guided and intercepted, or it malfunctioned and crash landed on its side...
The Ukrainian Twitter army would have you believing they were having a miraculous victory overcoming Russia but ground reality is far different. On top of that the western media is pushing that narrative and banning outlets that publish anything contrary.
March 10 update, virtually all land east of Dneiper river is under Russian control. Kyiv and Kharkiv will be captured soon. Negotiations will then start and Ukraine will formally accept Crimea and eastern Ukraine states as independent republics among other agreements. Russia has also captured...
