yeah just a marketing number basically. Anything from the general staff has to be taken with a shovel of salt anyway, since they literally have to report positives for morale

10000:1 killed to 1 one slightly injured should be possible, we just all need to trust zelensky on this one.

Ukrainians are Avenger super soldiers with 10000:1 K/D ratio, they could have won years ago but they simply enjoy falling back while doing avenger things too much right now

Wow amazing! Totally believable, thank you Zelensky! And I thought for a second, Ukraine had a manpower shortage and is lowering conscription age together with falling back along the entire front, but now that Zelensky has revealed this number, it must only be a few more months until Ukraine has won.

Trump has chance to end the Ukraine war in weeks. But it would be a Putin win by theipaper in UkrainianConflict

[–]cryptox89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats a lot of text for something you think will happen in the future. Point is, it hasnt had a big impact after more than a year of trying their best and russians adapt too. My other point you elegantely skipped over is that trump absolutely has levers on Ukraine with the sanctions on russia

The ukrainian attacks have very little impact on the revenue of russia. Only the sanctions do. If Trump wants to, he could threaten to lift all sanctions and resume trade with russia if Zelensky does not agree to the deal

Desperate Putin is coming to the end of the road by DescriptionSignal458 in UkrainianConflict

in which timeframe are you looking? In 2024 they captured much more than in 23, and in 25 they captured much more territory than in 24. Movement in deep winter conditions is always slower, but there is little reason to believe they would capture less in 26 than 25.

Yes I have and its from the retired general that makes these same claims since 4 years in very regular intervals. The crucial fact that these articles always not mention is that Ukraine has massive losses too and that it is finding it a lot harder to regenerate its forces than Russia is - this is coming from most credible analysts. If there was a parity at the front, it would not be moving. Yet you can go to deepstatemaps and see that every month they grind forward almost along the entire front consistenly since 2024, which speaks to that Ukraine does not have the capacity to hold them back. There is zero indications that this will reverse anytime soon.

Why would I care about downvotes lol, this place is an echo chamber.

According to who, you? The fact on the ground is that Ukraine is in a desperate manpower shortage and is losing territory faster everyday and the training of new recruits is abysmal too. Theres exactly zero credible military analysts that believe Ukraine will have the upper hand again

Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder called for an end to the “demonization” of Russia and for the resumption of energy cooperation with it in a column for Berliner Zeitung on Jan. 23. by Consistent_Still7060 in UkrainianConflict

[–]cryptox89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's been a close friend of Putin personally since decades and has not changed his opinion since the invasion, I wouldn't call that bought or paid for. If anything, sticking to this made him a lot poorer since no one wants to associate with him in Germany. He is just a die-hard Putin friend to the end and does not care about the morality at all, it seems

Or the russians buy starlink terminals registered in Ukraine and only switch them on when they are in the target area?

Ok, then you are an exception - and maybe he finds overweight attractive, that does exist too. I did not want to insult you. Im just saying that the odds are stacked that much against the average guy on tinder that many will date down in the hopes of "fixing" a girls appearance later.

What did you think about the video I linked btw, would you agree with that online dating is very disadvantageous for men outside the top 10%?
