Sorry Putinbots you may temporarily distract the weak minded by referring back to past events but the pictures of dead and dying women and children arrive daily and wont be so easily dismissed.Destroying buildings but VERY careful to limit civilian casualties.
I still think the Russians are running this war with kid gloves. They could target the urban areas' electricity and water supplies and bring real pain to civilians inside.
"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 Russia you would see them utilize the full force of their air force, navy, and army.
I think you and some of the retired western laymen who hang out the forum need to read more into the situation and stop just reading western sources. Let me guess you probably think Ukraine is winning...
This is the lamest excuse I have heard for a war going badly ever.
We sent our B team as the A team is being held back for better opponents.

Destroyed buildings can be rebuilt easily with Western money.
The civilian death toll after more than a month is still under 1000.
Ground war are NEVER pretty, and it does not really matter how much technological advance, when you are in build up area, all those technological advancement goes out of the window, and it's about sheer will for who wanted it most to win.In every war, there come a point where the irrelevancy of a technology and/or technical aspect of the war trespassed the point of no return.
For example, the VKS is effectively irrelevant. Am not saying the VKS cannot continue to drop bombs, but the issue is whether its continuation is enough to affect the outcome.
It seems, perhaps early, that the outcome of the war rests on the brutality of individual battles, whether it is soldiers against soldiers or tanks against tanks. I have no problems declaring airpower irrelevant if/when the progress demands it, and right now, airpower, specifically the fixed wing variety, is irrelevant. There is no longer the need for finesse of strategies or creative use of historical precedents. It is now which side can inflict the most pain in the most blunt methods. The irrelevancy of a technology and/or technical aspect of a war does not mean a guarantee of a loss to any side. It just mean the war has gradually moved to a less sophisticated phase.
according to RT news?
according to UN 1119 killed civiias...BUT according to UN the real number is much higher, that are only the civilians the UN can confirm... in many areas are no UN inspectors able to count civilian victims. Specialy in the areas with intense figthing
Well, why is this a big surprise??That is a load of crap "muh the best Russian army is at home,they aren't using their whole force and most modern equipments,they send conscripts". Their armed forces are trash,simple as it is.
Those VDV,Spetsnaz,Rosgvardia,Chechens etc. are considered as "Russia's elite troops" and yet they performed soo poorly,wouldn't imagine the rest. Sheer incompetence and corruption gets you this result.
I would say they lost 1000 civilian alone in Mariupol.......Let alone the entire country.........according to RT news?

the best part is that the russian looses outnumber the ukraine military and civilian by ligthyears... the incompetent Russian Army gets badly *** kicked...Sadly thousands of civilians have already died and they may even outnumber the Ukrainian military deaths as Russia has resorted to launching a war of attrition by bombing and shelling Ukrainian villages, towns and cities.
Brings some perspective on the trivialities in our lives that stress us all from time to time.

7 Generals lost in Action in one months shows the incompetense of this shit russian Army
The Russian playbook is "Escalate to Deescalate" which mean they will pump more effort into a losing operation in order to seek a better ground when they negotiate. They will not backdown and sue for peace, they will simply keep escalating the whole thing until it reach a point where you feel uncomfortable, so you will agree in their favor at peace talk.
That is why they keep putting stuff in this war, there are no perspective for Russian to win this war (Not since day 14 actually), they are simply escalating it because they think they will come out ahead if they double down on a failure.
As for why the Russian perform so badly in this war? Well, I can write an entire article on this alone, but the TLDR version is, a combination of ineptness, intelligence failure and corruption.
I am sure that Ukrainians are getting intelligence from Nato in order to be able to target these Generals with ease.
Although they are brave and competent, they seem to know exactly what the Russians are going to do and at what time - informatio that only Nato can provide them with.
There is a huge risk for Ukrainians in killing all these high ranking Russians officers and commanders. Maybe the people that come to take their place will actually be COMPETENT this time.![]()
