Russia-Ukraine War - News, Discussions & Updates

The green are the areas Ukraine liberated during the Kharkiv and Kherson offensives in late 2022. And no, Ukraine is nowhere near 1M deaths. Latest estimates are 80K-100K dead. For Russia, 200K dead and 400K wounded.

Yes, “advancing” for only minimal tactical gains this year. The map doesn’t lie. All at the cost of 200K dead and wounded and thousands of pieces of equipment lost. That’s what you call a strategic defeat.

I would say atleast a million deaths and casualties in Ukraine, not to mention those scattered to the four winds

A generation has been lost in Ukraine and Ukraine may never recover and the combined western order couldn't stop Russia

Russia is on a war footing and will only seek more revenge and to strengthen itself

It has the support of the vast majority of the the world and especially the global south and the antics of the western order have become so hypocritical, so dangerous to the world, that balance is essential

We must all support Russia in this fight to take down Ukraine and the west
 
Aid for Ukraine is more than $100 Billion, as of September 2024 the total amount is closer to $490 Billion according to the Kiel Institute in Germany.

Yet is seems there no end to Nato sufferings.
Millions of Americans and Europeans will go without food, shelter and basic necessities again this winter.
 
Oil is a product, but it is quoted in the currency that prices it, so its price is determined by the purchasing power of the currency that is pricing it, just like any other product from a country that has a currency to trade in.

Do you think that inflation in the US is due to a lack of supply and demand in the US? No. It is because the currency is devaluing and the Fed is unable to curb inflation.

An economics lesson for you: if the currency loses value, the price of products increases - this is called inflation. If the currency appreciates, the price of products decreases - this is called deflation.

Oil, like any other product, is quoted in dollars, so its price is determined by the strength of the dollar. You can check the price of oil and cross-reference it with the variation of the dollar and you will see that this relationship can be seen even on a daily basis.

See the oil chart:

See the dollar chart:

2003-2008: dollar weakening - oil price rising
2008-2015: dollar stabilizing - oil price stabilizing
2015-2020: dollar appreciating - oil price weakening
You mix thing up. No, the oil price is not correlated to dollar purchasing power. If so the oil price must increase in line with dollar devaluation. But it’s not. You can check the russian urals crude oil price.
Man, Russia is in control at the moment

When the conflict broke out Russia made quick gains, and Ukraine without funds, weapons would have essentially collapsed within about a year

NATO or the western world stepped in and it became a brutal protracted war between the two entities but with Ukrainians doing the hard fighting

Fundamentally Russia can't give up, doesn't matter if it loses 1 million or ,10 million, that's because defeat if Russia would mean NATO on its door step and the end of Russia as a power

A victory, even a brutal victory against a multi state western alliance whatever the cost, leaves Russia in the ascendency and a powerful Eastern alliance emerges and the world changes



The Palestinian issues came up at the WORST time for Ukraine and the west, not only has it diverted over 100 billion in funds but massive weapon stocks.

At the same times the concept of international law and a rules based order has been hammered
And the west looks pathetic trying to use these rules to point fingers at Russia when Israel and the west is covered in blood

All this has consequences and Ukraine is now in permanent retreat across the board
It doesn't have the population to hold the front line and at best can slow the progress

The west has realized this and doesn't want to sink endless billions into the conflict and it knows the consequences the Ukrainian population is facing of a generation of Ukrainians being wiped out
Russia will give up, the question is just if Putin gives up? And if yes, under which conditions?

The US withdrew from Vietnam after 60,000 deaths and 300,000 wounded. The russians are more hardcore. The pain must be multiple times higher, should go into millions deaths and wounded for the Russians.
 
Why the russians store their tanks in open fields?
Ukraine doesn’t need to bomb them.
One year under sun, rain, wind those tanks begin to deteriorate.
What a waste of money.

Shit nonsense

the russians come to steal, murder, rape.. primary goal is land grab. Nothing with global south sympathy.

If Ukraine suffers one million casualties then Ukraine army would collapse and surrender long ago. But that’s not the case.
If taking the numbers of visually confirmed destroyed tanks, armor vehicles, trucks into the estimate, then the calculus is 1:4 in favor to Ukraine.

Russia casualties about 700,000 dead and wounded

Ukraine 175,000 casualties
Some put 400,000 Ukraine casualties that come from Russia terror bombings.

You probably need a lesson in history in WW II Soviet lost 20 million people yet she still fought and eventually outlasted the Wehrmacht and destroyed the third reich

You can’t read your own words.
That’s credit to the Soviet Union.
Not Russia
When Russia, it surrendered to Japan, surrendered to Germany.

Russia made up the bulk of Soviet Union It is the same thing. Past performance does not indicate future success. Why bring the Russo-Japan war it has no relation to Russia today. You keep bringing up bogus Russian casualties concocted by Western intelligence and spread by Western media that have no relation to reality. 70% of deaths in the Ukro-Russo war are caused by artillery and Russia has a 5 to 1 advantage in Artillery pieces and shells
