Russia has lost over 880000 troops and over half of its military hardware / equipment and have only 17% of Ukraine land mass so based on those fig Russia simply does not have enough troops and military hardware to take over Ukraine and it will cost even more to hold it !!
Between Assad losing Syria, NATO adding Finland and Sweden, Russia losing tens of thousands of soldiers to a war it wasn't prepared for and thousands of prime skilled workers to emigration, and Russian money is being poured into a fruitless slaughterfest of dead Russians; ending up as fertulrzer on the battlefield and feeding the crows and ravens in east Ukraine ...I don't know how anyone can say Russia is truly "winning" right now even if they do get some more land in Ukraine..
Yes Russia is taking potato fields and a tiny worthless village in east Ukraine, yes if you can see this fruitless slaughterfest that is costing the lives of 1500++ Russian soldiers bleeding out and dying every a day as wining the war then yes you maybe right you got some potato fields and a tiny worthless village BRAVO !! (and then claiming some sort of victory is correct )
However in the meantime , Ukraine is targeting deep into Russian proper ; Ukraine is hitting every day Russian vital economic centers of the Russian economy ; Ukraine is flying its drones with impunity hitting Russias oil refinery, Russias gas and petroleum installations, Russia railways infrastructure, Russias military industrial complex, and Ukraine has been extremely effective with this type of attacks ; and Russias "air defense" attempts to stop Ukraine in attacking their infrastructure that is vital for the functioning of Russia society and its economy has proven impossible for Moscow ...
(ON A SIDE NOTE : A FACT THAT GETS OVERLOOKED IS : Ukraine army and defense is much stronger better equipment and bigger (more trained active soldiers ) now (it has become bigger not smaller over time) its better organized and has more experience more weapons more diverse weaponry more high tech weaponry now than it was back in 2013 and even back in 2022 why stronger not weaker !!
Unlike Russia it has become less equipped and has lower quality human resource
Maybe you can explain to me how a country that can not take east Ukraine for 2 years and lost its black sea navy to a country without a navy ; a country that needs to beg and kissassssss to North Korea for weapons to survive a country that can even defend its own territories in Kursk Oblast a county that is pushing in untrained men into combat because it has no more well trained soldiers left a county that is using Chinese electric golf-carts and Chinese mopeds to attack with because they so low on proper military equipment ! a country that now is so low on combat soldiers that its striping its Murmansk navy personal and forcing sailors to take up infantry fighting roles in a land army .. A country that os low of spare parts for its air force a country that has en economy that is so bad no international banks not even Chinese banks wants to touch them !!!
NOTE : Also Putin is scraping the bottom of the bucket recruiting from African countries and china and North Korea ; Putin is begging North Korea for help and Venezuela for help ALSO LETS NOT FORGET Ukraine has pushed the Russian Army all the why over the river in the south and even made a foothold on the east side of the river !! Ukraine has liberated more territory since the full scale invasion over 2 years ago than Russia has taken (is the outskirts of KYIV under Russian control like it was 2 years ago ?)
Putin is losing 1200 soldiers a DAY if you haven't even taken all cities and villages in the Donbas how can you claim to be a victor hahaahaha
HOW IS THAT COUNTRY (RUSSIA ) GOING TO WIN !!
Maybe if you explain it, I can understand how.
I SAY Russia has humiliated themselves right from the start of this stupidity all the way back in 2014 and Kremlin and Putin has continuously humiliated himself and Russia ever since.
The fact the Kremlin remain in this war, even when they know they cant win, and are willing to destroy themselves just proves how totally clueless they are....adding to their humiliation so Russia is already humiliated and broken .
FACT Russia is already in a worse place than they were before invading their small neighbor, and Russia did this to themselves, the result of their stupidity is that now they have more NATO borders after Finland and Sweden moved towards joining NATO , Putin and Russia is now laughingstock of a military world , and most of their biggest customers of oil and gas are canceling their orders.
I will be amazed if Russia hasn't broken up into smaller states within the next decade or so, this is real end of nations stuff that Putins ego and vanity so-stupidly has thrown Russia into; time will show this as complete idiocy from Putin.
I serious cannot envision Russia humiliating itself any more than it has already done , but that said , Putins ego is a massive chunk of half-witted, simple, ill-considered , unwise shortsighted buffoonery and NOT the wise geo-political chess player some include Putins own ego likes to say and Putin likes to think he is ..
I mean look at Putins strategies so far: recruiting two new Nato members, selling oil at a discount to 3 world countries and giving free tanks and equipment to Ukrainian army because of those tanks running out of fuel and ammunition. YES THE Master strategist Putin. Who’s lost much more than 30% of his armor, who sacrificed innumerable Russian lives in a failed attempt to take Kyiv and Snake Island, who pushed Finland and Sweden into joining NATO, who sunk the flagship of his Navy… yesssss all going according to plan.HAHA !!
TO SUM UP : NATO never had to defend against superior forces I think it is rich for NATO trying to tell Ukraine how to fight a war against Russia, when Ukraine has just a bit more experience actually fighting Russia.Ukrainians should be training British Troops on the latest techniques of war. NATO now actually needs Ukraine to join NATO because no other NATO army knows how to fight with drones. NATO military doctrines are out of date. I fear that increased military spending will be billions on a useless aircraft carrier rather than making millions of FPV assault drones NATO needs Ukraine to show them how to fight a high tech drone war of 2025 +++

ON A SIDE NOTE : Even Igor Gerkin (aka ; Igor Strelkov) has no illusions about Russia is loosing her wrote this article take a look ..
Speculations on what would be good not to come true (for the coming year 2025)
So, the situation for the Russian Federation is characterized negatively: by the end of the third year of the FULL OUT INVASION, none of the tasks declared earlier as “goals of the NWO” has been fulfilled or is close to fulfillment:
1) The “Zelensky regime” has not been overthrown, but is holding on tighter than in 2022. “Under the war” the ‘derusification’ of Ukraine continued at an accelerated pace, the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate was reformed, Nazi propaganda ‘brainwashed’ the population, hatred of Russia not only did not decrease, but increased manifold.
2) No “demilitarization of Ukraine” was achieved. On the contrary, - in front of our front there is a huge (several hundred thousand) group, armed hardly better than before the beginning of SWO, well organized, experienced, resistant and (despite the fatigue from the war) not showing any signs of soon disintegration. Part of this group is fighting on the territory of the “old regions” of the Russian Federation - in the Kursk region, from where our troops have failed to dislodge the enemy for more than 4 months. The AFU is increasing missile and drone attacks on the deep rear of our troops, reaching up to the Volga and beyond, hitting industrial and infrastructural facilities on an increasing scale from month to month.
3) The territories of the “new regions” (except for the Luhansk People's Republic) have not been liberated from the enemy: the enemy continues to firmly hold the capital and the right-bank part of the Kherson region, the capital and a significant part of the Zaporizhzhya region, and significant territories of the DNR. Our successes in Kharkiv region are insignificant and have not gone beyond the purely tactical. There is no chance that all “constitutional” territories of the Russian Federation can be liberated militarily in the near future.
To summarize - the NWO - in the form in which it started - has failed (has not achieved its objectives).
At one time one general, looking at the field of an already lost battle, said to Napoleon: “The battle is lost, but we still have time to win a second one.” (this was at the Battle of Marengo, which ended with the defeat of the seemingly victorious Austrian army). The point is that General Desaix brought reserves with him and they completely changed the course of the battle.
Do we and the enemy have reserves?
In the first case - the answer is ambiguous. Theoretically, yes. There are, and very significant. We still do not have a country at war, only the army is at war. There has been no mobilization of the armed forces and industry (the rear, the entire economy, etc.), except for individual (non-complex) measures of a “one-off” nature. As a result, we still have a significant mobilization potential, which, theoretically, could be used.
But “in practice” - we have a completely opposite and depressing picture: the army, which did not receive timely and sufficient means for a decisive victory, is exhausted and exsanguinated. Its forces are still enough to hold the front and even in some places (“turtle step”) to move forward with difficulty, winning purely tactical (but very “expensive”) successes. But the prospects for a strategic victory - to defeat the opposing forces of the enemy and force him (at least!) to sign a peace “on our terms” are more than doubtful. Simply put, our troops can “stall for time in the hope of chance” for quite a long time, but they cannot win. In its current form, at least.
Will general mobilization help us now (I emphasize!)? - I find it difficult to answer this question unequivocally. On the one hand, Napoleon (as in the battle of Marengo) would have been able to skillfully use all the reserves that came up. On the other hand, we somehow do not have “Napoleons”.
Both the country, the army and the population are already very tired of the three-year bloody and not very successful, to put it mildly, military campaign. The industry acutely feels the shortage of technical resources, and the stock of military equipment is apparently close to exhaustion (“thanks” to the “Syrian adventure”, “sales” for free/on credit from Rosoboronexport, “gifts” to “our African friends”, etc., etc.). I am not sure (I have no information, but I have my doubts): can the Ministry of Defense now arm, clothe, educate, train, organize, feed, form into units and formations, and then put into combat at least half a million more fighters? And for a strategic victory over “Ukraine” alone (I emphasize!) we need no less (and as if not one and a half or two times more), and these half a million should be “put to the front” not by “bringing water in glasses”, but at once or (in the extreme case) in two or three steps.
In addition to the “technical points” there is a second question: how will the country/people feel about this very general mobilization now - after “three years of bloody drudgery”? Instead of the long-awaited large reserves for the front, won't we get “fuel” for a revolt of the mobilized? Similar to what happened in Petrograd in February 1917? And there are prerequisites for this, as there are (I am more than sure of it) and forces in the so-called “elite” ready to initiate such a revolt, the discontent of the “liberal-western” part of which is hardly a secret for the country's leadership and special services. It seems that I am not alone in thinking of such negative options.... Perhaps they are taken into account in determining the “course for the earliest possible peaceful settlement”, which has already been openly proclaimed (just today I heard it performed by the patriarch): “Peace, you say? - Well, as we know. “A bad peace is better than a good war.”
But will Moscow expect this very “thin peace”? - I personally doubt it... And to demonstrate the validity of my doubts, I am going to characterize the situation (according to my estimates, of course) in the camp of the enemy. And I state: while waging an all-out war, the AFU has reserves. They have them both now and in the near future. According to various (reaching me) data, from 150 to 300 thousand newly mobilized soldiers are undergoing combat training in the EU countries. Plus, a part of the military is being trained in the so-called “Ukraine” itself. Let's subtract (for a fair account) 100 thousand deserters, “evaders”, etc. - and still we will get another 200 thousand enemy soldiers at the front by the spring of 2025. Let's assume that half of them will go to re-staff the broken and shattered units and formations. But even 100 thousand soldiers is, in fact, 3-4 full-fledged corps (or two armies). Which the enemy is preparing (receiving equipment from the U.S. and Europe, which are the “inviolable rear” of the AFU) not for a “truce”, but, of course, for his new offensive. And until it “burns” these (as well as newly created) reserves in a new attempt to break through our front, the so-called “Ukraine” will not agree to any truce. Even if it is suddenly “cut off” supplies of arms and equipment from the U.S. (supplies from Britain, France and Germany will continue this year with a 99% probability).
That is - in the next 4-6 months there will be no truce for sure, and the further depends solely on how successfully and efficiently our Armed Forces will repel another “onslaught” of a strong, experienced and well-armed enemy. I would like to believe that the “attack” will be as successful as it was in the summer of 2023, but even when it becomes a fact from an assumption, the question of “what to do next?” will remain on the agenda. - will remain on the agenda. Since there is only one “Ukraine” fighting against us today, and who might join it tomorrow is an uncertain question. But there are “candidates” - “limited participation” of NATO troops - already discussed and even put on the agenda at the highest level in the EU countries. Romania's participation in the liquidation of the unfortunate Transnistria is very likely, and after the events in Syria, it is even awkward to discuss the “reliability of a Turkish friend”....
In order for vultures to be afraid of “flying to the corpse of their prey”, it is necessary to be able to show that we are “still very much alive”. And this again requires real successes on the front. And they will not be achieved if large and well-trained (and also manageable!) reserves are not prepared.
“Our song is good - start again...”. Perhaps these words can be put in the title of this letter. If it reaches you, of course.

So you're telling me that JD Vance gave a fiery speech thrashing entire Europe over the lack of democracy and freedom of speech two days after the White House revoked the Associated Press’ accreditation for failing to obey and use “Gulf of America” in their reporting?
JD Vance is actually right -- Russia is not the biggest threat to Europe.
What's even bigger as a threat is irresponsible and infantile demagogues like JD himself, running for quick and easy-peasy solutions to matters of war and peace.
Lets see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
Ukraine should just give Putin what he want Vance says its just a small part of Ukraine his says so whats the problem we need pace !!!
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
