Volunteers will be used possibly in Mariopol attack soon. Civilians are not evacuated as yet but a smaller theater emulating Kiev can be replicated there with artillery strikes followed by volunteers flooding to take the city and take out azov battalion. There would be possibly no holding back for civilians trapped there as well.

Possible solutions can be brokering a safe exit with Un for civilians as well as anyone that give up heavy arms and no id check. Similar to safe exit routes used in Syria that Russian side might also accept. Otherwise civilians there will be trapped and it seems to be unwinnable for Ukraine military inside as well. Then use the soldiers elsewhere instead of attrition warfare against volunteers and continious bombing. That can be considered if Mariopol is not considered to be too strategic and also not defendable long term by Ukraine side depending on the arms inside.

Why do you think indirect involvement is not an act of aggression?

Someone is kidnapping your little sister, to hurt you indirectly, but indirectly it's not directly, since it's not you who is being kidnapped, so there's no reason for you to be angry and panic.

But you know, that logic is misleading.


I think between the end of the year or next year, you will see the result of Russia's action.

WW3 will be quick, very quick, just an hour.

You will know it's WW3 just an hour later, assuming you are still alive in the UK, and you know suddenly the conflict is ended.


I don't know whatever today is a fake peace or a fake danger.

But many say we are living in a fake peace while a huge huge huge danger that all humanity in the past has never seen before is actually the real reality.

Someone is blind and playing with big fire right now.

I don't think people in UK, Europe, USA, Russia, China, and the rest of the world want a war or any conflict.

But that is what we are being pushed by idiots.

Because it is not, anti-tank weapons and anti-air weapons are being used to protect cities from Russian aircraft and armour, they are useless if there is no Russian armour/aircraft to fire these on. So the solution is simple for Russians if they don't want to risk getting shot by these weapons they can stay away in Russia.

As far as doomsday is concerned its quite enjoyable watching the change in tone on this forum.
First it was the almighty bear claiming its rightful place, the brave Chechens moving in to help their savior Putin. Now it's about MAD and how Russia is using third or fourth Tier forces - and I am supposed to imagine how bad things would have been if they used their first tier forces.

Maybe Putin could have done us all a favour and used his top tier force in the first instance and this would have been over by now as most Russian fanboys keep on harping about it.

Yep the Russians are not a good conventional military at all.

If you look at the size of the military budget and the number of service personnel and equipment they have it makes total sense.

Remember around half their defence budget goes on nuclear weapons and delivery system and so there is no much left over for purchasing, training and operating costs in the conventional sector.

The other important point is the motivation is wildly different between the two sides - Ukrainians are fighting on their land while the Russians have been sent into someone else's.

They do lack an overall good military, yes there is no denying that they have some crack units which are renowned world over. Like we found in Falklands you cannot send SAS for every mission these crack units have their own mission profiles and they excel in them. Throw in a Para or RM or even a Guardsman and you have a different caliber of grunt- jack of all trades master of none.

And yes the motivation factor is with the Ukrainians and will remain so even if they loose all the cities. If anything they will become more bitter towards the occupation forces and Putin doesn't have time to take on an insurgency.

The VDV which are supposed to be "Russia's crème de la crème" are being humiliated left and right,I couldn't imagine the rest of the army.

Yes rumor's are that they have lost quite a few senior officers and many of their raids have gone pear shaped. Only think left now is for Russia to actually release information on their losses - which will probably never happen.

Not Photoshop, and there is no use of images unrelated to the news. A real video totally on the topic. But With Russian flag.

You should also notice that Oryx is heavily pro-Ukrainian,but like OSINT said,it's more or less ok. From what I've heard,the Russian tank losses were a bit above 100,not 173.

If you have to resort to taking Syrians from the SAA to fight for you in Ukraine...then your army has problems. The Syrians have manpower problems and he accepted to take them there?
