The Struggle For Ukraine

[olgac]

oh thank You!
I think many men will now leave

Ukraine is "NO Country For Old Men", or young ones either
when I was a teenager, I chose to "run towards the fire" instead of away from it
first the IDF, then the US Army
after all that training and education
I went rogue
like in "Apocalypse Now"
"The horror"

malchicky in Russia/Ukraine need to start thinking by age 16, how to play this
a pre-emptive plan is necessary
university deferment
then focus on a "highly useful" knowledge and skillset
like native level English, Chinese fluency or Jet Engine Mechanic, or medical
to keep ya outta a ukrainian fox hole, you gotta be more useful to the system someplace else besides Ukraine
SLOVO!

hey Russki!
will you be alive after Zapad 25?
coming up NEXT WEEK!!!!

ya gotta understand, them Russians ain't very good at original thinking, new ideas, etc
probability sez that Russians will use a military exercise as cover for an offensive

After all, dem Russians did the same gosh darned thing  in 2022
which was also predictable and anticipated
Zelensky said that “Russia is preparing something new under the cover of exercises.”

Russia being Russia, I'd be TOTALLY surprised ONLY if this DIDN'T HAPPEN
soon, Russia will have 1,000 drone strikes against Ukrainian kindergardens, in order to stop the the spread of "Juvenile Fascism" aka Zelensky Jugund
it looks like there is a a reserve force of 100,000 russians ready to be activated in the east, when this happens
so it looks like Zapad is more of a diversion for Ukraine to send forces to and not as a direct new offensive
UNLESS the Belarus army joins up for the bonus money, with half to Lukashenko

On 25 November 1944 at 12.26 pm on a busy shopping Saturday, a German V2 rocket bomb made a direct hit on a crowded Woolworths store in London’s New Cross, of the victims, 33 were children
Today, on 9 September 2025, Ukrainian Sr citizens were deliberately targeted collecting their pensions, and were bombed by Putin killing 24 of them
Hitler, Putin, IT'S ALL THE SAME THING
Trump STILL has not issued a single new sanction on Russia, nor given ANY financial or military support since taking office nearly 8 months ago
now the media sez Trump "completely misread"  Putin and there was no reason for the Alaska summit
well...DUH...

[Grumpy]

Result of summit?

Only watched the first few minutes as it's an hour long and he seemed to be banging on a bit.

The general gist I got is that Russia's economy is getting into a bad state. That is to be expected as they have been pouring money into a war and getting no return back for that money, it's just lost money and huge amounts of it. That was never ultimately going to be a good thing for Russia's economy, huge financial losses are going to come home to roost at some point.

If the defence industry is now in trouble then that means the commercial industry has been gone through and now if the defence industry is badly effected it means that bad economics are now hitting what has become the core of Russian industry, the defence industry. That was always on the cards to eventually take place. I am just surprised that it is already hitting in there if it is so.

That is obviously good news for Ukraine, Russia's economy is only going to get worse the longer Russia carries on its war against Ukraine. If Russia starts falling apart and has a bad economy winning in Ukraine is going to become increasingly difficult for it. By Spring time next year I think Russia will be in really bad shape and it won't be at all effective as a force.

At the moment the Russians seem to be gearing up for one last desperate push to try and break through at Pokrovsk. They have accumulated about 150,000 troops and pretty much all the tanks they have left from their front lines. The Ukrainians have the answers to take out their remaining tanks. Ukraine is moving reinforcements forward at the same time. If Ukraine can defeat this last ditch attempt by the Russians then I think Ukraine will have it in the bag and the Russians will eventually throw in the towel and quit the fight.

Russia today feels like Germany in August 1918
exhausted, hungry
but just like that damned fool Kaiser said "March On"
Poot-tin is doin the same damned thang
although, he's come WAY DOWN in price, now it's just hand over 9,000 sq km to end the war
and get Trump a Nobel Prize

nobody EVER phuqueing learns
except for the Draft Dodgers

smart guys who are LUCKY
can end up being "Wize Guys" in the military
and pocket a LOT of money like I did
opportunities are infinite
