The problem for Ruzzia is not military. Its economy. Any tinpot dictator in some desert shithole can get a couple thousand tanks together and look scary.

Russian troops are firmly in control of the battlefield situation and are steadily pushing back Ukrainian forces, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has said. Speaking at the meeting with top Russian commanders on Monday, the minister announced that Moscow had liberated the villages of Pervomayskoe and Novomikhailovka, west and southwest of the Russian city of Donetsk, as well as the settlement of Bogdanovka not far from Artyomovsk, known in Ukraine as Bakhmut. The latter strategic city was captured by Russia last year after months of bitter fighting. He added that the control zone was also being expanded in Berdychi and Georgievka, north and west of Donetsk. ”Our high combat potential allows us to constantly strike the enemy and prevent him from holding the defense line,” Shoigu noted, estimating Kiev’s losses at half-a-million troops since the start of the conflict. - RT

The Americans aren’t in this to help Ukraine,they want to weaken Russia using the lives of the Ukrainian soldiers fighting them. Unfortunately they have miscalculated as the Russians will come out of this stronger. Russia has escalatory dominance right up to tactical nuclear weapons which they will used if forced, America knows this and their game of bluff has failed.

The reason for Russian protection is as Ukrainian President he is doing the best job to destroy Ukraine.

Is it insubordination to retreat from an impossible situation? Should soldiers lose their lives, and the territory, or retreat and live to fight another day? I object to the narrative that these soldiers are insubordinate because they refuse pointless suicide missions. I saw a video from a retreating soldier saying they have so many killed and wounded they are no longer capable of defense and will try to retreat at night. It’s ‘Ukraine supporters’ who talk sh*t on twitter for these guys saving their own lives. It’s absolutely disgusting.

The West continues to make fatal mistakes one after another as if they lost the ability to learn. Europe blindly followed order to crawl onto Russia's door step and caused an unnecessary war. Then they went along with their master's sanctions that backfired badly onto themselves. And each and every European political leader kept mum about the destruction of their energy lifeline that had kept their economies humming in the past 7 decades, perhaps under intense fear of offending the master or perhaps all of them had become victims of blackmail by U.S. intelligence apparatus for their past misdeeds. They kept forking out gigantic amount of money to buy sky-high energy from across the Atlantic in the form of frozen gas -- so much so that nearly all their industries had to move out of Europe and went somewhere else in order to survive, hollowing out their own economies in the process. When Europe followed the U.S. in rejecting Russia as part of the European community, China extended a helping hand. After the imposition of atomic-like sanctions on Russia, the U.S. and its cohorts have been left high and dry when China took over the Russia market worth billions of dollars of cars, trucks, smartphones, computers and peripherals, washers, dryers, fridges, air-conditioners, ovens, cooktops, television sets, sound system, toasters, juicers and everything else in-between, including high tech chips and precision CNC machining equipment, not to mention basic consumer goods like shoes and clothing and Christmas trees and decorations. Now, the West cries foul and "warns" China against closer cooperation with the Russian Federation. How pathetic is that? All the people on the Earth should wish Antony Blinken a successful mission to China, one more time.

[@JosephBisio]

" Europe blindly followed order to crawl onto Russia's door step and caused an unnecessary war." Putin had quite a bit to do with the start of this stupid war in both 2014 and 2022 and its continuance into 2024.....In fact his actions have been the "motor" for the conflict. Ukraine and the West have been mainly in reactive mode compared to Putin.
