uncomfortable for me? I'm not the one living paycheck to paycheck off Russian and Chinese propaganda lol
year old article.
let's see today.

again, trafficking for soldiers. still no comment? bad look imo.

"Retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Mark Arnold, by contrast, isn’t the least bit surprised at the slow pace of the advance — and he’s blaming the Americans, not the Ukrainians....
...June 23, at the very start of the counteroffensive, he emailed me: “I remain very skeptical that a decisive battle will occur this year that makes a material effect toward Ukrainian victory. That can happen next summer when the majority of maneuver equipment arrives from NATO into Ukraine.”
So this guy seems to think once equipped it is GG? And since we only are pumping more equipment that way, it really just continues the way it has for Russia. Pound for pound Ukraine has done more to Russia, yes Russia has more soldiers and a larger population or GPD.
Yet when we look at the actual situation. Russia has failed to take anything significant, they estimated a win by now. Why no win?
Now an entrenched populace, being further armed and personally fueled to fight faces kidnapped Cubans, Russian criminals and force conscripts.
Which is why Russia is losing because simply put as we Americans say, you can lead a horse to water but ya can't make him drink.

Weird, out of all the territory Russia held, Ukraine has reclaimed 54% of it. WOW that is more than half golly, in less than half the time too gee whiz.
And now they're being equipped with only more weapons?? And Russia is pleading to Iran and North Korea and China for weapons? Hm.. thought Russia had a bigger arsenal.
