Sec of State Blinken: Russian military the second strongest in Ukraine, a case study in failure

[jhungary]

250k casualties seems so out of proportion.. realistically, i wouldve called out 10,000 soldiers.. Where did you get this number ???

250k casualty is low end, estimation goes up to 500k casualty (That's killed, wounded and missing) in some report.

They wouldn't ask for 300,000 men if they only had 10,000 casualty and surely, they would have made progress with those 300,000 men if they had not suffered extreme casualty.

A friend of mine who did this said he tracked a Russian progress thru the rank from being a conscript back in April 2022 and now a Captain rank (or similar rank in NATO) last months thru their VK profile, that's 11 ranks jump in 13 months. That would indicate how seriously casualty number and the need to fill the rank up in Russia

Mind you, the lowest estimate for Ukrainian casualty is not any better they are now at between 180k - 200k casualty

So he is telling us that a strongest military in Ukraine with support from all of Nato lost a city to Dima The Convict who was fighting with shovels!!??

Why are you asking? To my knowlegde this is Russia invading Ukraine. Iraq and the US is not taking part in the fighting. Never the less, the US could have bombed Fallujah like the Russians do in Ukraine with ease. Comparing the US fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan with the war in Ukraine is ridiculous. The US invaded and controlled both countries within a short period of time. If they were acting like russians both countries would have been ethinically cleansed and exist as vasal states of the US now.

ah I see its off topic when you do a comparison when you get owned

very good hypocrisy

You are just beating a strawman.
You only cheer for Russia because you dislike Ukraines allies. Now its obvious to the world that the russian army is inept, but you anti western trolls keep pretending insignificant frontline corrections are major strategic wins for Russia.

proof of the podding is in the eating

after 18 months Russia still controls 20% of Ukraine, end of story

whatever Ukraine says or West says means nothing

I wonder if he meant the first strongest army in Ukraine is PMC Wagner !

They started with 10% of Ukraine. After 18 months they are at 20% of Ukraine.

Russia has 3 times more population than Ukraine and much better military industrial base
Russians are fighting hard to avoid a defeat/humiliation on their own border

57 of the Worlds Strongest Nations on one side and Russia on the other side alone

Romania and Poland have poured over 600 different weapons into Ukraine from over 156 different nations yes even Pakistan sent weapons

Israel is home the US artillery reserve for the 155 mm rounds over 400,000 are stored there

even they have been shipped to Ukraine

the showdown was in Bakhmut and Russian won

Russian has single handed out produced the rest of the World combined, they out stripped everyone by a factor of 10:1, this is how they fight and this is how Russia always fights

if the West sends 1 Russians sends 100, if West send 10 Russia sends a 1,000

learn from Napoleon and Nazi, Russian can not be defeated and never has, its called history

are you paid in rubels? ?
