Kim decides to send more cannon fodder to Ukraine

[luiza]

yes, most know that but Ukraine has a huge amount of resources and he's a greedy bastard
he also thinks he can return it all back to the USSR but those days are long gone
USSR was never a united states in a sense, never will be

They are highly amusing , if not wildly funny ,because sadly they are nonsense .

 

[JWBooth]

they are not in NATO but all the countries around them ARE, thus if they take it by force they are essentially trying to push there way into the EU
Ukraine is that roadblock that we and NATO are trying to avoid........

Russia cannot take Ukraine or Russia is an existential threat to roll across Europe. Which is it? I wish you Nazi sympathizers would settle on a narrative.

 

[gipper]

You must really get off by telling huge lies like that!

They don't have the talent to do so. Their conscripts do not want to fight and die for Mother Russia.

Lol. Again with the establishment narrative. So dumb.

 

[longly]

Is that why Europe bought record amounts of Russian LNG last year?

This is just dumb. The chances of Russia launching a land war against the US in Alaska are zero. Russia can’t conquer Ukraine so they are going to attack the world’s biggest super power…….

BTW there is no land connection between Russia and Alaska. The Bering Straight freezes in the winter but is typically not safe to even walk across due to currents and storms breaking up the ice. Somehow I doubt the Russian Army would make it across the 51 miles in the dead of winter and the US just not bomb the ice and put them in the water

Hasn't anyone ever told you to never say never? The Persian Empire seemed undefeatable—until Alexander the Great proved otherwise. And we’re not as strong as we might think. Our total combat force in the United States Army is around 250,000 soldiers. Russia and Ukraine have already lost more troops than that. If history repeats itself, our entire combat force could be wiped out. Then what? Where would the replacements come from?

I believe Putin would only act if he sensed weakness. And yes, we’ve had weak leadership before—not long ago. We're underprepared in the Arctic and nowhere near as capable as the Russians. By the time we get our act together, a war there could already be lost. National pride is a good thing, and jingoism has its moments, but neither provides real divisions of troops.

It’s wiser to see your enemy as a giant rather than underestimate them. If they turn out to be small, you've only spent money. But if they turn out to be massive and dangerous and you've underestimated them, the price is paid in lives. So my point is: be prepared for anything, and never assume you hold the upper hand. For a military leader, that mindset can be deadly.

You are aware that Russia has less than half the population of the US right? 145 mil vs 330 mil?

The US military currently has almost 1.3 million people on active duty and over 750k in the reserves. This doesn't count national guard troops which total about another 330k. So Im not sure where it is you are getting your numbers.

Add to this fact that other than nuclear weapons the Russians really don't have an ability to project power to the US. That's not the case with the US which can project power across the globe via our Navy and Airforce. Not to mention the 800+ bases we have all over the world. Not sure if you are aware but the US has a shit ton of bases in Europe right in Russia's backyard. Russia cant say the same about the US.

Again. Russia can't take Ukraine with whom they share an actual land border but are going to somehow invade and defeat the United States? Thinking that's absurd isn't national pride or jingoism it's just looking at the facts. Russia doesnt possess the ability to do so regardless of their abilities vis a vis the Arctic.

It's wiser to see your "enemy" as they are not some fictional boogie man you want them to be.

BTW there's zero reason for us to have an adversarial relationship with Russia to begin with.

nazi's don't exist anymore and last I checked russia is not trying to take over Germany so your point is invalid
who says russia cannot take it? they are doing their best to try

no shit they are a threat, that is why we and nato are trying to help Ukraine not fall

haha, look it up, exxon was set to drill for a huge deposit before russia starting attacking the area and they pulled out.
also been plenty of information there are some large mineral deposits there.

why don't you google it if you think it's nonsense.

why do you think putin WANTS the donbass area? freaking $$$$ and resources.

That's not the case w It is true that we the United States outnumber Russia about two to one but the Persians outnumber the Greeks of Alexander's time about 25 to one but still the Greek one WON 1

True, the United States outnumbers Russia roughly two to one. But consider this: Alexander the Great and the Greeks were outnumbered 25 to one by the Persians, and still, they defeated the Persian Empire.

The U.S. Army has a combined manpower of about 2 million. However, only around 10%—roughly 200,000—are combat troops. These individuals are the tip of the spear. They are the ones who truly make the difference. I believe Russia could potentially outnumber us on the front lines, despite having a smaller population. Why? Because they appear to prioritize quantity over quality. Their soldiers may not be well-fed, clothed, or rested, but as long as they are killing the enemy, support logistics are a secondary concern.

Regarding power projection, especially in Alaska—the true force would come from what could extend across the Bering Strait. Our overseas bases elsewhere might not factor in as significantly in that specific theater.

Russia's difficulty in taking Ukraine says more about the Ukrainians than it does about the Russians. Their will to suffer, to resist, has been extraordinary. Could Americans endure that level of hardship? Think back to Vietnam.

To be clear, I’m not suggesting Russia aims to defeat the United States outright. Rather, I suspect their interest could be limited to claiming a strategic portion of Alaska—something they could use as a future staging ground. And I suspect the same voices who say Ukraine isn’t worth it would also dismiss Alaska as not worth defending.

I don’t see Russia as a boogeyman. I see a capable and intelligent adversary who could surprise us. They’ve shown they’re tougher than we often give them credit for, judging by how many casualties they’re willing to absorb. The Ukrainians have matched that toughness, fortunately—but I’m not sure Americans would. So no, I don’t view the enemy as incompetent or laughable. Thinking of them in such simplistic or racist terms is dangerous for any military strategist. I've been around long enough to see what happens when we underestimate others.

The best course is to discourage Russia from entertaining any future military ventures. The more we degrade their capabilities now, the better our chances of avoiding conflict later.

Also 12 million artillery rounds have been supplied.

So. Korea sent 320,000 to fight in Vietnam for the USA. Normal for allys to help each other.

The cannon fodder are the Ukrainians. They’ve likely had over a million casualties.

all is very terrible!

 

[gipper]

all is very terrible!

Yes of course, and easily avoidable.

What does it say about our leaders who provoke a war that kills hundreds of thousands for nefarious reasons?

We’re lead by a bunch of psychopaths.

And yet Russia STILL can’t seal the deal.

They are winning obviously.

You probably believed the bs that Putin intends to conquer all of Europe. Yet you admit he can’t take Ukraine. Do you see the contradiction?
