The Russian people are not nearly so enamored with Putin as you claim. I have seen many Russians interviewed on the street. The older ones, that grew up under the Soviet Union love Putin and everything he does. But everyone else is very mixed on him, or afraid to speak, meaning they are not supportive, but fear saying so in public.
And yet the Russian army has been pushed back, and continues to be pushed back. Because it doesn't take a lot of soldiers to fire a missile. And Ukraine is not going to run out of missiles.
Ukraine will join NATO for sure, now, when the fighting stops. They will have to, to protect themselves from further Russian attack and incursion.
We will see.
didn't say everyone in Russia likes him .. but he is hugely popular .. more so than Biden .. that is for sure. Your inferred claim that Putin's Russia is anything like Stalin's Soviet Union .. is false nonsense propaganda gibberish that you ingested somewhere.
"Russian Army has been pushed back - Not going to run out of missiles" -- You have no conception of what is happening on the Battlefield
Ukrain has already run out of missiles -- you realize this doesn't mean they have NO Missiles right ? Good .. Javelins are gone .. no resupply in sight .. Patriot missiles are gone .. sorry .. we don't make them that fast. but this is an artillery war .. so why you talking missiles ? other than you havn't the faintest what you are talking about.. Ukraine has enough missiles to do terrorist strikes from time to time .. and don't cry like a baby to me about the word terrorism .. not my definition .. but the US /NATO definition. Russia on the other hand has many missiles .. and way more drones .. and control of the air space ..along the front line .... important in an artillery battle.
After the initial surge into Ukraine .. all the way to Keiv .. Russia then pulled back - in large part due to massive Ukrainian Strength at the time. They maintained control of the ethnic Russia Regions .. everyting on other side of the big river .. Dneiper .. a natural border .. and spent the winter building massive integrated layered defence .. aka - "The Meat Grinder" in which an estimated 3-400 Ukrainians have been turned into Sausage .. for as they approach the defensive line ..it buckles in to create a cauldron .. and then all the Ukraiians get slaughtered .. 5-1, 10-1 kill ratio's are common .. which makes sense because Russia hs 10 times the artillery .. and fires 10 times the number of Shells .. targeted in by Drones .. the video from the battlefield which you can go watch on a daily basis
This is not debated .. the western propaganda show admits the offensive has been a disaster .. that Ukraine is running out of ammo .. the fact that they are running out of bodies the western media still guilty of the sin of omission
The Press gangs running around Ukraine forcing teenagers and old men into service .. the the front line where life expectancy is measured in hours.
Ukraine is Done .. Putin previously was the one requesting negotiation .... and he warned negotiate now or things will get tougher .. and true to his word .. as he always is .. we now getting the big Middle finger .. Putin saying Ukraine gonna be lucky to keep any land .. never mind have something left to join Nato.
The counter offensive has been a massive failure .. failing to push Russia anywhere - you really have no idea what is happening on the battlefield but this is not the only Win for Putin-Russia .. Vlad is winning the more important war .. the one oblivious to - never thought of by the likes of the sheep .. and that is the economic war .. Putin a symbol of the Straw that broke the camel's back .. the economic hegemony of the world economic empire .
The west has gotten crushed by the Sanctions -- the EU more than the US. Trump was the first president in history to use the economic nuclear option .. threatening our allies and everyone else in the world to go along with his unilateral sanctions - or be locked out of the international system of payments .. the US dollar being the world reserve currency .. A "Privilege" bestowed upon us by the other nations of the world .. and the only thing keep us afloat at this stage in the game. The nations of the world came kicking and screaming but for the most part complied.
Unfortunately for Biden .. even though his sanctions were not unilateral in the West .. he pushed the Nuclear economic option button for the second time in history .. and it didn't work. China- India- Brazil - South America . the big middle finger .. Saudi Arabia now joined the BRICS .. agreeing to take other forms of payment .. killing the Petro-dollar .. and the rest of the Emirates .. and well .. we have lost the ME in general .. Even Nato Member Turkey does not do what we want ..
Russia's economy has gone into war mode .. putting out 200,000 shells per month and ramping up production ... of everything. US production is 32,000/month ... and we are not in war mode .. talk of doubling this by 2025 .. what a joke .. the rest of Nato is producing 4,000 shells per month for a grand total of 36,000 shells per month ..
"Western Sources" have Russia firing 20-40,000 shells per day ... Ukraine 2-3000 .. sans short periods of time when they get the odd shipment they ramp up to 5-6000..
In 3 months of this counter offensive .. Ukraine has not even dented the first line of defense .. never mind reach the Third line and break through and form a bridgehead .. which is what this offensive was suppose to do .. thus far a complete fail .. and now has puttered out .. relying on these sporadic terrorist attacks to keep the media headlines happy --- to which Russia then responds 10 fold .. so these terrorist attacks only hurting Ukraine.
