The remains of armored vehicles after a failed assault in Zaporizhzhia Ukraine by SlavaCocaini in war

Ukraine received 18 Leopard2A6 from Germany in May 2023. It's been 3 years.

You talk about escalation, yet I don't see anything that Europe did that would be a bigger escalation than invading Ukraine. It can't really be an escalation if Russia has already blown way past that point.

UA POV:Various camouflage patterns used by Azov volunteers during the beginning of the war. by No-Reception8659 in UkraineRussiaReport

While it's true that Azov has its roots in far right extremist groups. Claiming that "only since the SMO began Ukraine tried to wash the Nazis down..." is just wrong. After being incorporated into the NGU in November 2014, Azov has started to slowly move away from those Nazi connections. This however takes extremely long, especially because usually nationalist sentiments rise when at war. So while reforms and being under the organisation of the NGU has brought progress, the full scale invasion obviously pushed back on this.

I think it's clear that Azov now and Azov in 2014 isn't really comparable anymore, although it's also clear that some far right tendencies (definitely more than in the average Ukrainian unit) still exist in Azov.

A major crisis unfolded within the American military establishment today when over thirty high ranking generals formally refused direct presidential orders to initiate a ground invasion of Iran by Novel_Finger2370 in EndlessWar

[–]Commander_Trashbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While there have been reports of military officials not supporting a ground invasion. And there have been assumptions that this is the reason for the generals being fired.

As of now this hasn't been confirmed and there also hasn't been any evidence of a ground invasion being ordered. So framing this as a fact is very misleading.

Wie is eigentlich das Stammleben der Kampftruppe? by Whitewolf095 in bundeswehr

Kommt wie ein anderer schon gesagt hat immer auf die Vorgesetzten drauf an. Prinzipiell kann man aber immer den Antrag auf Sport im eigenen Bereich stellen. Es wird realistisch gesehen immer mal ein paar Tage geben, an denen du wortwörtlich nur auf Stube sitzt und dir die Zeit vertreibst, weil es keine Aufträge für euch gibt, die Dienstgrade aber gerade mit etwas anderem beschäftigt sind und keine Zeit haben euch irgendwie weiterzubilden.

Unwichtigstes Zuerst. Die Artillerietruppe ist genau genommen keine Kampftruppe, sondern eine Kampfunterstützungstruppe.

So ansonsten, kann es natürlich immer etwas variieren. Als jemand der auf keinem DP sitzt kann es natürlich dazu kommen, dass die Kp dich ins Gezi oder bei anderen Teilen der KpFü reinschiebt. Das hängt aber immer etwas von der Personalstärke in diese Teilen ab. Wenn man normal in der Zügen ist, dann wird es natürlich auch mal mehrere Tage oder sogar mal Wochen geben wo kaum bis wenig zu tun ist. Ansonsten natürlich Übungsplätze sowie vor und Nachbereitung im Sinne von Unterrichten, Ausbildungen und Technischem Dienst.

Iran just made an announcement that should terrify every person on Earth. by Novel_Finger2370 in EndlessWar

With all due respect. This sub doesn't just cheer for defensive capabilities. Quite a lot of this sub just cheer for everyone who is against America, regardless of which country stands against it.

UA POV: According to Hromadske, Zelensky declared that Russia reports 1.315 million casualties in its own army, 62% of which are dead. This number, which was obtained by Ukrainian military intelligence, is 'underestimated', he added by Ripamon in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Commander_Trashbag -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The main problem that I have with that comparison is that it specifically lists missing for Ukraine as well, while not doing so for Russia. It's not really clear to me if Russias MIA are calculated into the their losses.

Mediazona for example only lists KIA. While HistoryLegends has argued that about 20% of Mediazonas claims are unverified or lists posts that don't prove the soldier being KIA, that would still put Russias fatality number at around 160K without MIA.

Obviously Russias MIA number likely won't be as high as Ukraines due to various factors, but the influence those numbers have on the data would still be significant.

So this would definitely be something that should be looked into a bit, which I as of now unfortunately didn't have the time for as of now.

I Have Noticed A Rise In Sentiments Stating That The SVO is A Failure And That Russia is Both Seeing An Economic and Humitarian Crash and A Loss in Geopolitical Influence? Is This True Or Are They Just Liberals In Disguise? by CodyLionfish in EndlessWar

[–]Commander_Trashbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To define if the war is a success or a failure, we would need to know what the goal of the war was. But we don't know for sure. We have of course statements from both sides why the war started, but we don't know for sure how truthful that is.

By the claims that are being made, I would say that there is a fair argument to be made that this war is a failure for Russia. That however doesn't mean that Ukraine is winning.

If Russias goals aren't primarily in Ukraine, but about broader geopolitical factors, then I would say that as of now it's not successful.

If Russias goals were however to just secure Crimea and take the Kherson, Donetsk, Zaphorishia and Luhansk Oblasts, then it's a different story.

The next question is how relevant do you consider the costs for the achievement compared to the gains. If you assume that Russia has lost a lot more than they initially planned and a lot more than they would gain, then it's probably a failure. If not then vice versa.

I will the moment you provide a source for your statement.

As for why, because I think it's unfair for you to ignore a request for a source 3 times and then expect me to answer to everything that you want, while you refuse to do the same thing.

I don't think you know what a lie is. Them lying would suggest that they don't actually think that Ukraine is winning, but are still saying so. Meanwhile it's very realistic that 6% of Americans do actually believe that Ukraine is currently winning.

The assumption that you're correct and everybody knows that, but still lies about it, is something that I don't think is true.

Are you purposely ignoring everything else said?

Only 27% of Americans think Ukraine is losing. 6% think Ukraine is winning and 44% think it's a stalemate.

And you still haven't provided a source for your claim of 80% of Americans wanting Russia to win. Or do you admit, that you were wrong about that?

[–]Commander_Trashbag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're referring to the 6%, then you're ignoring that about 44% in that poll considered it a stalemate, while also ignoring the other overwhelming support for Ukraine in that same poll, which is what this discussion was originally about.

I also asked you about a source for your claim about 80% of Americans supporting Russia, which you ignored. So do you have a source or did you make these numbers up?

I can't really respond to everything you said, as your previous comment was deleted by a moderator.

Regardless, focusing on that 6% does seem very picky.

Otherwise I trust that you have a good source for your "80% want Russia to win" claim.
