The West giving Ukraine the means to fight a long war is not a good thing at all for Russia. At the rate they are getting through equipment and vehicles, a longer war is not something they can win. They are able to keep up the current war effort thanks to their massive reserves of Soviet...
The fact that Russia is losing ships at all to a country that barely had a navy to begin with is symptomatic of how deeply embarrassing this war has been for the sick and old Russian Bear.
Even worse, remember that most of these lads are mobiks now. They are hapless conscripts, ripped from their homes, and sent to die in their tens of thousands for Putin’s ego.
Poor bastards.
Communism, not even once.
Culturally speaking I think the Russians themselves need about a hundred years to rediscover themselves. But in order to start that process, this last ghost of the Soviet Union must fall.
Three hundred thousand dead?
I’m hoping those number are wrong because if they aren’t that’s a lot of hapless sodding Mobiks thrown into the meat grinder.
Any sane country would have thrown the towel in by now.
Does anyone else note that Russia’s capabilities at butchery go through the roof when they get to target civilians instead of Ukrainian military personnel? Was there anything remotely military in nature about this target, or is this how the mighty Rodina gets its jollies?
Worthless cowards.
The Russians, soldier for soldier, are badly outmatched. I still feel sorry for those poor bastards toppling over like a sack of potatoes, or twitching as bullets smack into their flesh.
They were still people at the end of the day.
