The Struggle For Ukraine

[olgac]

oh thank You!
I think many men will now leave

[krimster2]

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!

[krimster2]

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

Here is a concept for you. Don't comment about it if you only watch the first
couple minutes.

It's looking like Pokrovsk is likely going to be Putler's last chance. Others are now coming over to what I have been saying for a long time that Russia's economy is likely to be to busted in 2026 and so the war is likely to end next year.

Looks like Putler is gearing up and has amassed 150,000 forces and many Armaments around Pokrovsk in one big last attempt to take the city before it's too late. Russian troop concentrations around that city are now massive. Ukraine has reinforced it's positions there and the upcoming battle when it begins is likely to be intense:

Seriously not my own website

If Ukraine can hold Pokrovsk in this likely last upcoming big battle then Winter will step in and it's all over for Putler.

Personally I am looking forward to such a scenario and seeing what goes down in Russia next year when their economy collapses and/or they are forced to give up the war and leave Ukraine

Could be a big revival time for the sex tourist in both Russia & Ukraine me thinks.

An interesting article on foreigners fighting for Russia and how they may be done over on what they hoped to get from getting involved in the conflict lol:

Indeed, the Huffman guy, still apparently alive as far as is known. The story sounds plausible but lies can do. No confirmation that he is really in the Russian Army and on the front line. If he is a lot of Russian troops are being thrown to the wolves around Pokrovsk at the moment. Its Putler's last chance at victory by conventional means in Ukraine before the Russian economy gives out next year.

If Putler's forces fail at Pokrovsk as is looking likely that they will do then the question remains whether Putler will be forced to chuck in the war next year or move to Nuclear Weapons or similar. Of recent Russian Jets have flown directly into Estonian airspace, if they were shit down it is probable that Putler would use that as a pretext to declare war on Estonia and hence NATO. My guess is that Putler has told Russian warplanes to go into Estonian airspace in the hope that they will shoot them down giving him the excuse he needs:

http://www.the-express.com/news/world-news/184570/how-survive-immediately-after-nuclear-bomb-hits-fears-world-war-3-grow

Putler throwing in the war due to the economy or his associates/government doing it on his behalf and likely moving against Putler for the failure in Ukraine isn't likely something Putler wants to move to. He instead might decide his chances are better by trying to lock Russia into a WWIII scenario as Russia will have so much to deal with then that it will probably be difficult to remove him from power. Whether Nukes will become a part of that scenario or if they will be used soon or similar we'll have to wait to see.

Apparently Trump changed his mind now and says Ukrain can win back all their territories

[Trenchcoat]

Krim's still stuck on Zippy mode

Apparently Ukraine might do some sort of manoeuvre in the Crimea direction according to social media soon. Maybe a D-day sort of thing. I don't think they need to do anything like that just sit tight. Now we're in October it looks like Pokrovsk will be safe to the Winter period. After Winter Russia may have a brief offensive in the Spring that likely won't have the resources to get anywhere. After that the Russian economy will be too busted to support any real offensive capabilities for Russia in Ukraine. Essentially it's just a waiting period

Some bad news for Ukraine though, apparently Russia had been able to adapt their cruise missiles etc to now be able to get passed the Patriot missile system. Ukraine and the West will have to do their best to look for an answer.

He was in time out for a while, I am pretty sure it's over.

Trump will give Putin a chance to end the war before sending Tomahawk cruise missiles to
Ukraine for deep strikes against Russia.

Putin will refuse.Russia has been attacking Ukraine with missiles that have similar range
and warhead size on a near daily basis for 1,326 days.

Putler is nearly out of time, the weather is turning in Eastern Ukraine:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/709717

Once we hit the cold weather of winter proper in Eastern Ukraine it's likely to be harder for Putler's army to mount a successful offensive. They are already running low on Armaments that curbs their ability to mount successful offensives a lot.

Through the Winter the Russians are going to have to be maintaining an Army on the Ukrainian Front with wages, supplies and equipment, etc. That will drain the Russian government financially further and with it their economy. Come Spring expect a last ditch offensive that will likely lack the sufficient Armaments necessary to make it effective.

From Spring to Summer Russia's economy will be on the slide with it's forces effectively bogged down in Ukraine with little to no ability to move forward due to insufficient Armaments and funding. It's then just a matter of time until the decision is made to throw in the towel and quit Ukraine. Who by remains to be seen. Next year could be an interesting one for the war in Ukraine and what happens in Russia.
