Many military experts on both sides of the conflict are predicting a complete collapse of the Coupkrainian military this year.

 

You can't be freaking serious!  Three years later and Russia still does not have Ukraine.  Vlad thought he would take Ukraine just like he took Crimea.  The truth is, it ain't working out well for him.  

Hey, he may eventually a little more of Ukraine.  But, at what cost?

• He is showing his enemies precisely where Russia is vulnerable. 
• He is demonstrating the latest and greatest Russia war technology - which doesn't add up to ****. 
• He has lost many irreplaceable soldiers and top commanders. 
• His military hardware, after being depleted as it has, isn't 2nd rate; isn't 3rd rate; isn't even 4th rate - maybe 5th rate. 
• Russia is now a country that even Israel could decimate, if it wanted to. And, Israel wouldn't likely spare the inhabitants of Moscow their lives like Americans would. Not that Israel has any real interest in doing this - it's just that it could.

After Vietnam, China could have launched into an all out war with Japan.  We were war weary and didn't have enough trained fighters left to protect Japan. Japan was still pretty much military-less since WWII.  There wouldn't have been much we or Japan could have done about it. I'm surprised the Chinese didn't try to do this - a real missed opportunity for them. With Japan gone, they would have controlled the entire Pacific. 

Now, all of the NATO wolves and sharks are salivating over the smell of fresh, Russian blood.  Putin has chummed the waters, and left Russia's innards exposed. Far more exposed than at any time in history. Big parts of Russia are up for grabs.  Well, that's how I see it. If I were Germany or Poland, I'd be carving up Putin's wounded lamb.

Putin is fighting an opponent armed and bankrolled by 30 countries. You cannot intelligently compare a military operation against a nation with the size and population and industrial capacity and military of Coupkraine to the destruction of a walled-in, open air prison that lacks manufacture, banking, NATO allies, land, etc. That's just stupid.

 

Oh, come on, Lebanon, Gaza, Syria and Yemen have all received billions of dollars in war-funding from other Muslim nations. It's not like 20-year old Gazans were doctors, engineers, and IT CEO's who earned billions of dollars making **** so they could buy tens of thousands of missiles. 

I think that if Israel was so inclined to carpet-bomb Moscow, it could right now and Russia would be hard pressed to stop it.  Now, it might nuke Israel into oblivion for doing this. Or, it might not be able to do so.  You have to ask yourself - could Russia carpet-bomb ANY NATION or major city right now, if it had to?  I don't think it could.  And, that is a seismic change in the military landscape of Asia and Europe.

The people feeding your ignorance on the war in Coupkraine claim boys can grow up to make and chestfeed babies.

They learned that in Georgia. The Georgians, though inevitably overwhelmed, gave Russia a real run. That war seemed a bonanza for US Intel, as they gauged the strength and competence of the Russian military.

But the Russians did a lessons learned from it, and they came out of that experience 10 times better for it. The pre-Coupkraine dry run in Georgia was a failure for the US deep state, because it was Russia who profited, and US Intelligence was lulled to underestimate Russia's military capacities.

It is beating NATO behind the mask. Your sources abuse you.

War is hell. Whoever convinced you soldiers and commanders are irreplaceable should be jailed.

He got rid of soviet era crap, replacing it with top tier equipment - including hypersonic missiles which laugh and wave on their way past patriots. Russia is outproducing the entire west's MICs. Get a clue.

That is a level one analysis of the situation on the ground. China was a starving nation of peasants without a mechanized military in the mid seventies. The only war they could fight was a war on their own soil.

Germany can't afford to fart. Neither can Poland. Putin has held all of NATO in check for three and a half years, while his economy grew and theirs was stagnant.

You run your head about how Putin wanted all of Coupkraine - which is quite stupid and incorrect. Russia did all it could to avoid this war. What you fail to notice is that the US/EU/NATO coalition FIRMLY believed that sanctions would destroy Russia's economy. Instead, it has continued to grow. Germany's is in stagnation/hidden decline, without cheap Russian gas. The rest of the EU is in similar straights. The US/EU relationship is fragmenting under the strain of losing this war. Russia was supposed to have failed YEARS ago. Russia - not Europes - was to be the spoils. Instead, we are having to feast on Europe, because Russia stood.

The entire world is moving away from the dollar like its hair is on fire. BRICS is out-trading the G7.

Your gloating is hollow and stupid and ironic.

Sigh.

Israel cannot attack IRAN without US assistance with midair refueling. You really talk a lot of stupid ****. You are deeply misinformed on most topics - Israel's capacities, particularly. You are well and truly propagandized. You've bought the Israeli hype. In truth, Israel as you perceive it is at the very end of its tether, and it's going to be denazified pretty damned soon.
