Putin warns the USA - Ukraine may cease to exist

Ukraine has already lost close to 400,000 men and now they want to recruit that many again ? What will change ?
This slaughter has to stop !
They claim that Russia has high losses too.
It's BS. Russia has always had 10 times the artillery ammo and their men stay away from the front lines.


Ukraine's Spy Chief: "Not Even Conceivable" That We Can Win Without 400,000 New Soldiers

BY TYLER DURDEN
TUESDAY, JAN 23, 2024
"The shortage [of manpower] is palpable," Ukraine’s military top spy chief, Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov, told Financial Times in a new interview, describing the most pressing situation facing the country after nearly two years of war.
He warned that "it is not even conceivable to think that we can do without mobilization" — which reflects the consensus of the military's leadership, and strongly points to staggering losses by the Ukrainian side, though an official running casualty count has never been revealed. Russia has also likely suffered immense losses, but can tap into much greater manpower and artillery, which is also allegedly being supplied from such nefarious actors as North Korea.

As part of its report, FT has reviewed that Zelensky recently revealed that his army chiefs requested him "to mobilize about 400,000 to 500,000 new soldiers to replace those killed or wounded, and to rest those involved in the most intense fighting."

This was predictable. Now we have to correct it somehow ??
Outsourcing Manufacturing : America Cannot Fight WW3
You read the dumbest shit
 
From the most agenda driven people.

He's retired. Why is he posting anything?

Don't sit on the internet posting shit from other people when you can't differentiate for yourself.

Macgregor doesn't want Ukraine to win. He wants to be right in his assessment. He doesn't want the US spending money to stop Russia from taking whatever it is they want to take. Theres a bunch of things driving him.

“We have been here since Aug. 2, 2023. It is now Jan. 20, 2024. In these almost seven months, we have not had a single day off, not a single rotation. Since Aug. 2, we have been under constant shelling ... There are a lot of enemy drones in the sky… Many of our brothers in arms left Krynky among the 300 wounded, and those who were less lucky – among the 200 killed in action. Many of the wounded die while being evacuated.”

Fatigue among Russian troops near Krynky is "growing every day," they claim.

"However, our command does not rotate people, does not let us go on well-deserved leave, does not even provide us with winter uniforms. We buy generators with our own money. Food and gasoline are delivered in minimal quantities. Because of this, we have to go to the store, 7.5 kilometers from our location. The road to the store is exposed to fire. Some of us are killed along the way.

Meanwhile, British intelligence writes that the Russians are unable to drive out the Ukrainian military from the east bank, despite their numerical superiority.

Despite what you or McGregor say, we know these things are happening because if Russia was superior like you're lead to believe, they wouldn't be having such a hard time. They arent walking all over anyone.

They are trying to take and also increase their war machine...won't happen because we are involved strengthening our war machine.

What's the best way to increase our military industrial complex? Not supplying our own military, that's very profitable, wars in Iraq/Afghanistan were great for making money etc. But supplying OTHER militaries is even better...Russia thought it could run away with the war and make money hand over fist...but of course we had to step in...

Russia would be already defeated with out arms from North Korea. So much for being a powerhouse.
 
He's also WRONG with America being weak...was America weak when he was in? Did he lead Americans to a weaker country?

If America was weak we wouldn't be handling Ukraine AND Israel amongst still having bases in Iraq and Afghanistan AND over 180 other countries.

You don't thunk America gets paid billions for having bases in other countries do you?

We have the most advanced crap and we are weak. Ha. We have the largest military with the most equipment and we are weak? Haha. This is rich.

Could we be better? Sure. Always room for improvement.

Love the test results on the new laser weapons. Star wars is coming sooner than you think. That's factual though, not like Russias garbage over hyped, exaggerated Kinzhal missiles.

Doug Macgregor was Trump's advisor near the end of his term.
And you choose to denigrate his opinion and believe the Biden Administration ?
You really lack discernment on who to trust.

Idc if McGregor personally wiped trumps ass. I don't believe the Biden administration. I believe what I read and what I hear from Ukrainians and others.
I've been through war, I've spent 4 years of my life deployed.

I keep saying this and it keeps flying over your head. To me, It's not about Trump or Biden. It's about country capabilities and what war is like. I don't post opinions on a retired tank commander just because he aligns with what you think is correct.

You love Russia, hate America. I get that. I love America and understand that I would rather have America be at the top of the food chain instead of anyone else on this beautiful globe run by idiotic humans. Is America perfect? Hell no, but I'd rather be an American than any other dweeb.

Is Russia winning? If losing almost half a million men and billions in equipment is winning to you...you're smart enough to understand that...or having attacks inside the borders of Russia...losing weapons manufacturing plants, oil, having runways strafed...that's not winning.

It isn't Americans using Ukraines men. It's Russia trying to conquer a peaceful neighbor to which America is trying to help.

If America doesn't help, Ukraine loses its country, Russia becomes more powerful and they take their next step...

I mean you don't have to be super smart to understand all this...

Just crawl out the asshole you're stuck in and start thinking for yourself.
 
Pretty much backs up what I've been saying.

You really believe that don't you. It doesn't back up anything you've been saying. You've been saying Ukraine will run out of ammo any day now last year.

The other countries in Europe are signing contracts to support Ukraine for years to come. The US is signing contracts to supply (sell) those weapons. Cha ching.

We didn't run OUT of money, we aren't going to keep GIVING them money.

The screws are going to be getting tighter now that the US is going to be MAKING money, and it's industrial complex is getting larger.

They just sign a billion dollar contract for 222,000 55 rounds. Tanks, fighters are all going to come. And more Russians, and more Russians, and more Russians...and when this successful campaign is over, (Like the Cold war) Russia will be a mess, population M to F ratio all fct up, civilians hating the Russia government...Russia will fall again.

You've got Ukraine making deals with Blackrock for large scale business projects and you think Ukraine is going to fall? The more contracts, military, deals are made with Ukraine the more it will be harder for Russia to succeed.
 
59 Ukraine POW soldiers died in a plane crash in Russia, you can bet that was no accident.

Speculation. I think Ukraine wanted to take out yet another Russian plane...nobody communicated correctly and Ukraine was successful yet again. Rhey just didn't know the prisoners were in there.
Russian equipment us starting to dwindle. They even have websites that get updated daily showing their losses. Funny cause even Russia is counting their own shit.

Sweden is gearing up for war though.

Seems like a huge waste of time and money for Sweden to gear up for war when Nazihunter Russia means to be peaceful ans stay in their own lane.

How many people did Russia lose in ww2?
 
Putin said in the interview that if America stops shipments to Ukraine, this will be over in a matter of weeks.
It will still take Russia months to secure the coastal areas of Ukraine. They will not stop until whatever portion of Ukraine
they don't want (western), will be land-locked and a poor rump state not capable of ever threatening them again.


From the New York Times :

Ukrainian troops are exhausted and suffer from a lack of weapons and ammunition, especially with regard to air defense systems.
According to unnamed US officials interviewed by the outlet, Kiev only has enough air defense assets to last until March, unless it receives new shipments.

This is far from certain, as the US – Ukraine’s main backer – is locked in congressional gridlock over President Joe Biden’s request to approve a $118 billion security bill,
$60 billion of which is earmarked for Kiev.

Many Republicans have been reluctant to support the measure, claiming it does too little to improve security on the border with Mexico.

Western officials believe that without US aid, “a cascading collapse along the front is a real possibility” in 2024, the article says.

‘No way in hell’ Russia will lose Ukraine conflict – Musk​

1707832031716.png

There is “no way in hell” that Russia will suffer defeat in its conflict with Ukraine, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said.

Musk, one of the world’s richest men, made the comment on Monday during a discussion about a Senate bill aimed at providing additional US aid
to Kiev on X Spaces – part of his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter).

He was joined by a number of other people opposed to further funding for Ukraine, including Republican lawmakers Ron Johnson, JD Vance
and Mike Lee, former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and entrepreneur David Sacks.

”This spending doesn’t help Ukraine. Prolonging the war doesn’t help Ukraine,” the Tesla and SpaceX chief said, as quoted by Bloomberg.
