In other words, "the Ukraine war will never end as long as I'm in charge" - Zelensky

Seems like a military coup is a likely possibility if things keep going the way they are.

i can't believe they haven't already killed him the way things are going

Translation, Zelensky will drag this war out until he runs out of people to throw in the meat grinder.

Russia will win this war, and the outcome is not in question. There is no logical benefit for Ukraine to continue dragging it out. The end result will be that Ukraine will lose more territory and create a greater humanitarian crisis. This entire war could've been averted if Ukraine accepted being neutral and renounced NATO ambitions.

Ukraine will not win this war. But neither will Russia.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

I don't see how they will not.

It's sad to think what Russia has done to the Crimean Tatars.

[–] imgprojts@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hopefully by the end of the year or earlier. Russia is basically running out of people.

[–] lisko@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's not a sheer numbers game but also the fact that the Russian army is so useless and ineffective, that superior numbers can't make up for the hopelessness and demoralization of being an incompetent soldier sent to die in a foreign land for the ambitions of one corrupt and incompetent ruler, in a war that you don't really want to participate in. When one Ukrainian fighter equals ten or more Russian soldiers the odds aren't exactly in Russia's favor. Many have already deserted the battlefield and many more will.

[–] gun@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago

If one Ukrainian soldier equals ten, then with the 1 million forces that Ukraine has with billions of dollars of weapons from NATO, Russia would need 10 million troops on the front just to hold them back.

Instead we see Russia making steady advances with only ~150k troops committed. Use some sense before you share your thoughts.

okay and also how the fuck is ukraine somehow full of infinite trained fighters and russia is full of like 30 people with sticks. Lets go to liberal imagination land lol

[–] imgprojts@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

From what I understand, people in russia are noticing that no one is coming back or coming back without legs or arms or dead. Obviously the same in Ukraine. However russian soldiers don't see their country unfairly attacked so they don't have the drive to enlist other than the corrupt government forcing them in clearly evil ways like just going to your house and literally taking you. On the other hand, you got the Ukraninans who, on the very first days of the war would make and use Molotov cocktails. They see an asshole country destroying theirs and their way of life. So they got everything to lose. That's why they come back. Plus men of fighting age are not allowed to leave. Most of the world see how russia's asshole guy, little pipiputin is killing innocent people. As you might understand, most of the world has most of the people who live in the world, and they got something to lose. The world has their future to lose if russia starts WW3 or if they start using nukes. This is why russia is loosing soldiers and Ukraine keeps getting more and better trained ones.

At least that's what I understand. It might be that the world wants to become a slave to cancer baldy pipiputin. There are people like that. Would you like to be a servant of a guy dying from cancer who is killing kids?

[–] Catradora_Stalinism@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Putin has cancer?
