Need to lay off the vodka and stop watching "Mad Max" movies.

In practice, the US left NATO a month ago when Trump came to power. The US is not going to help the European countries if Russia were to attack. Europeans might as well be pragmatic and push the US out of NATO once and for all, so that only the countries that stick together are left.

EU should have taken him a little more seriously the first time around.

Trump has his own agenda he plays a double face game, Ukraine should do the same.
by the way this game is not new. in history the US and China played the same game against Viet Nam.

Ukraine should turn more to Europe.
the europeans have a more than 10 times higher Gdp than Russia, 10 times higher industrial capability.

there is a calculattion,
if Europe increases military spending by 250 billions euros a year, manpower by 50 brigades, then Europe don’t need the US. Ukraine and Europe can defend themselves. russian hooligans and rapists can come.

I ran some numbers several months ago based on published reports at that time. At the current rate of ramp-up, it would be 5-7 years before the EU was able to supply everything the Ukes need based on today's consumption rate plus replenish their own stocks to be able to fight for more than a month or two.

As I said on the other forum, this is a waiting game.

Small cheap drones equipped with thermal is a major danger to men at night.

Yes, the Russians are finding out the hard way.

Yes, the Russians are finding out the hard way.

Russians have like 10 times as many small cheap plastic drones than Ukrainians have. In addition, Russia has larger drones which shoot missiles which Ukraine don't have.

Irrelevant. 10X as many does not equate to 10X more effective.

The Ukes have put the fear into both the Russians and the Norks. They invented the battlefield tactical use of drones. Those $10 drones are taking out a lot of Russians and were taking out a lot of Norks. Not too many of those left.

Ukes have also upped their FO game as well. On par with or exceeding your Russian BFFs.

Russia must aim for this....

if Russia makes Ukraine a landlocked country, from a monetary perspective, the amount of natural resources present in the area gained would pay off this war within a decade.

it can happen quicker.

now here in Germany Olaf Scholz, the lame duck is out, Merz the conservative will take over the government. he will drive the economy, the military.

if the germans take the army seriously then thing will become interesting. Germany tax revenues are 2 trillions euros a year. spending annual 100 or 200 billion euros on military is not a problem. let see who goes bankrupt.

What if feels like to get hit by anti tank missile.

And again, they already stopped, it's not like they are still getting supplies from US in January and February and then Trump come up and say "I am going to stop supplying you if you don't go there and talk with the Russian. That would be a threat, not when you had not supplies the Ukrainian since May 2024, June 2024, July 2024, August 2024, September 2024, October 2024, November 2024, December 2024, January 2025, and February 2025. That is a lot less of a threat in this case.

As of January 2025 Ukraine most definitely was receiving aid from US.

Again, I am just saying you use something from the 90s in the west on how they mistreat Muslim and then at the same time you said the Russian didn't do it. Also, do you mean this??

Or This?

As I said, this is out of topic, maybe we should let this go?

Regarding the images you've shared of the presidents: you've got a foreign dignitary with Obama and a former military Uncle Tom with Biden wearing a suit - used as a tool get back at Trump. Both of those are highly political meetings designed to create a façade compare that with Putin's meeting.

That's not what I said. You keep conveniently ignoring the rest of the examples of CONTINUOUS wanton destruction and cherry pick the 500k Iraqi children. From that same list: nukes on Japan, napalm/agent orange in Vietnam, carpet bombing of Laos - I can add more non-Muslim examples if it makes you feel better. If you're uncomfortable addressing the long line of war crimes of the US and would like to cherry pick it would be better to leave it. Continuous.

My prediction? I don't know.

You're sure Russia won't reach Dnipro and Ukraine will be in NATO as it is today. Those are predictions. Just flush them out - will the 4 provinces Russia captured be in NATO as well? Will US guarantee article 5 to Ukraine? etc.

We can discuss for eternity the rest of the details but reality will play out only one way. IMO best to lay out predictions and see who was closer to the truth retrospectively.

You shouldn't be influenced by his predictions. I'll just show you one comment that shows how accurate he is in all his predictions:

The guy is a walking joke.
