el famoso "close to 100% interception rate of Himars" while Russians are getting himarsed on a daily basis.
Putin has made Russia far far weaker and showed its military is nothing to fear. While getting his own people bogged down in a war he cannot win. While the west and NATO get stronger. Just keep supporting and supplying whatever those brave Ukrainians soldiers whatever they need. And after this fast track their NATO and EU membership. Russia have already lost. Finland and Sweden. Welcome to NATO. Putin is dumb
Well what did those mobiks think?
Their role is not to sleep. Their role is to be cannon fodder for Putin.
Another success in Putins 4d chess game.
Well in hindsight.
Putin expected a repeat of Crimea invasion. A quick victory. With a well planned/timed gas shortage which would have (large parts of) EU fall back in line.
Most analysts and other countries also gave little chances for ukraine holding out longer then a month. Underestimating ukraine and overestimating russia.
It was very risky, and longterm (pricey occupation, ongoing conflict west ukraine, west pushback) damaging…but not that stupid considering Putin was also surrounded by yes-men.
This war can only end in one way, Russia defeated militarily by the Ukrainians. Putin cannot agree to a peace agreement because he knows the result would be that he jumps from some high building. The West must therefore expedite the flow of modern weapons to Ukraine to end the conflict as soon as possible.
Yeah, though with all the “fighting Nato” propaganda he might get away with a “small victory”. He still needs to have something to show for.
Annexing the 4 provinces pushed him even more into a corner though.
Ukraine on other hand wants them back to pre 2021, or even pre 2014 lines.
So the war will continue on unfortunately.

That’s ugly.
Look at the destruction. hardly anyone survived.
With more western weapons pouring in Russia casualties will hit the roof.

you can trade in any currency you want. no one will stop you The problem is that people that have stuff to sell, they all way Dollars or Euro.
yeah, they will invest in western countries,
europe is on its knees, the children all over europe cant even make a snow man because there is no snow. Some are saying because of the warm temperatues its the worst winter ever.What’s happening to Putin’s great plan freezing Europa to death? Seems not working well.
The weather is too hot, thanks to global warming. electricity spot price 1.3 cent per kWh. Down 99 percent from the peak.
Also, natural gas, retail gasoline on downward trend, so cheap as before the war, Germany gas storage 100 percent full.
Strompreise im freien Fall – nur noch 1,3 Cent am Spotmarkt
Die Strompreise stürzen gewaltig ab. Am Spotmarkt ging es seit Mitte Dezember von 44,5 Cent je kWh auf 1,3 Cent nach unten.www.agrarheute.com

No way Finland and Sweden are getting into NATO. If they do, Turkey loses its leverage over them. NATO is just a low hanging fruit for them to do Turkey's bidding.
The war continues until Ukraine runs so low on men they cannot draft anymore to keep on fighting. Or Zelensky gets voted out of office in 2024 election and the next president signs peace treaty with Russia.

Warm is good. Cold is bad. Cold can freeze people to death. China is warm. China is suitable for agriculture and civilization because of warm.

If Russian MoD admits at least +60 casualties be sure the real death toll is much more higher.
Russian invaders getting himarsed by US weapons is the greatest payback for all the misery and destruction they brought to Ukraine.

My Prediction on the Ukrainian War in 2023
1.) Russia is going to try for another offensive most likely between March to June. Most likely direction is North thru Belarus to Kyiv (If Belarussian play balls with Russian) if not then Russia would most likely try to retake Lyman in the North East.
2.) Ukraine will focus on the current condition setting and attack Svatove and most likely open up another front in Zaporizhzhia
3.) High Chance for Russia to lose Kreminna and Svatove before Summer.
4.) Medium to Low chance Russia will lose Melitopol or Mariupol by Summer
5.) Medium to Low chance for Russia to be successful on the Spring Offensive
6.) Bakhmut direction will largely remain unchanged.
7.) NATO will increase weapon transfer to Ukraine.
