Russia Has Started Losing the War in Ukraine

The military tide may have turned against Putin.

I think the worst thing for Russia is Ukraine's home grown drone industry. You can make a shitton of drones for the cost of one HIMARS, and it stimulates Ukraine's economy to boot.

Bro they busted up Ukraine's fancy spy drone network last week. They were supposed to move after that but didn't, cuz they got no mojo. If you want to tell me Russian troops are motivated and only drones are holding them back, go ahead though.

To be fair,

CR

When you REALLY think about it, this war is not only getting better and better for Ukraine as time goes on, but it's actually becoming quite cheap for Ukraine to defend itself -- AND the expenses it's incurring to do so are actually stimulating it's economy. Meanwhile, Russia is getting rekt and falling further and further into ruin with every passing day.

... it's a little bit "odd" that Zelenskyieve would even consider holding peace negotiations with Putin at this point considering how well everything is trending for him, but I'm sure he has his reasons haha yeah haha. ;)

To be fair,

Well I would assume, given that when you REALLY think about it things are actually going pretty great for Ukraine right now on a bunch of different levels, that any peace proposal in which Zelenskieyve is required to cede any substantial amount of physical territory to Russia will be a non-starter. Why would a party negotiating from a position of relative strength which is only increasing with time ever agree to terms like that? It wouldn't make sense at all.

Do you agree?

It would cost the lives of many men who have already served multiple continuous tours. Not only would he be losing those bros, it would destroy morale in the lower ranks. It makes more sense for Russia to dig trenches and make Ukraine shoot off all their French and German missiles.

All of the major offensives have been horrific failures. They’re going to continue with the meat waves on motorcycles. They can inch forward and it gives the illusion of progress. I think the bigger factor is oil prices. If they’re this low for another 6-12 months Russia’s ability to sustain the war ends. Ironically trump’s tariff bullshit may have unintentionally buttfucked Putin.

His replacement is going to be a ballbreaker. Putin is the most pro-west guy in the Kremlin and he never served in the military.

To be fair,

The real tragedy isn't that Putler's late stage Alzheimer's Brain Cancer is finally catching up to him... it's that AFAIK Russia is entirely out of bullets at this point, so he won't even be able to shotgun himself and end the misery.

Putin already said they can do war for 20 years if they need to. He said told Ukrainian negotiators Russia spent at least that long defeating Sweden. People who laugh at that don't know what he's talking about.

"Its failure has been accompanied by enormous losses: an estimated 790,000 killed or injured since the beginning of the war (plus 48,000 missing), including more than 100,000 casualties this year alone. By the end of 2025, at this rate, Russia will have over a million casualties, and its strategic situation will not be any better than it was in 2022."

What an estimate

The coverage of this war is so frustrating.

This article is mostly true - but it doesn't really touch on Ukraine's position.

Isn't Ukraine basically out of men? Seems like that's a relevant counterpoint.
