Wow so there's actually dissent and difference of opinion on Russian media, I don't see that much in western media.

Pretty strong/traitorous words coming out of Russia.
Their people know. Something has to give.

Russia invaded with a 1:3 force ratio against.
They seized 20% of the country
They drained troops from that area to reinforce the Donbas and Crimean land bridge.
You know, the objectives of their operation.
Most western accounts say the area was thinly held and the Russians withdrew in good order.
Ukraine, bankrupt, must now help all the civilians in this devastated area for the upcoming winter, and defend it.
Theyve used up their operational reserve.
Hows the southern counteroffensive going btw?

Would the Russians rather have held that area? Sure, why not. Is this some epochal defeat? Nah.

As i mentioned above, look at mansteins counter offensive in 43 in, wait for it... Kharkov... how did it work out for Jerry? This 2022 version was pure americana, they love the ww2 wehrmacht btw, but i dont think they understand the russian way of war at all.

The whole nature of war has changed since the Afghanistan era. Global communications and interdependencies, drones and gps guided weapons down to howitzer shells use satellite coordinates, surveillance, and intelligence. There is no hiding and we get a play-by-play of all the action and see everything going on. The war was a stupid idea and the Russians underestimated Ukraine and the effectiveness of new technologies. The picture could have been quite different without foreign aid. Russia may even loose Crimea as high level occupiers are selling and leaving.
The US will continue to send arms until it is over.

I fully expect Vlady to use a nuclear weapon in the Ukraine. On a day when the wind is from the east.

It's a dream come true for arms manufacturers. I bet the 2022 Future Force Capabilities Conference and Exhibition will be exciting this year.

Join NDIA at the annual Future Force Capabilities Conference and Exhibition, scheduled for September 19 - 22 in Austin, TX hosted by the Armaments, Robotics, Munitions Technology Divisions and the Global Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) community. This event will convene a variety of attendees to foster creative interdisciplinary conversation and collaboration.

But you know what's funny? 100,000 people are being slaughtered, but the funniest thing ever - Zelensky
will be speaking at this conference in Austin.

Maybe he wants him so he can talk about how (in)effective Russian-made weapons are against NATO's weaponry?

The Russian main Battle tank T-72/80 is basically a complete failure in the Ukrainian war.

Haha the US will keep sending weapons till its over, too funny! Try googling "European smelter shutdowns" or "Russian share of global aluminum production" or "Russian share of global titanium production" or "NATO weapons stockpiles".

Shoot, why not google "concentration of derivatives trading amongst major US banks" and ponder how its all gonna shake out.

Do they talk about all that on CNN or Russian Media Monitor? No?

At an American warmonger conference promoting warmonger stuff that the sheeple end up paying $trillions for?

Or do you mean Putin speaking - TO AMERICA - and telling them to shove their ideas - dreams - of expanding eastward?

He needs guns, and cash.

The US has sent 800,000 155mm arty rounds to Ukraine, super duper.

They make 14,000 a month so thats about 5 years production just blew up.

Ukies fire 6,000 a day...

Did you see on Russian Media Monitor that Canada has asked South Korea to help replenish our stockpiles? Cause we sent ours to Ukraine? No, weird.

So now we are gonna build new factories to make more things to go boom.

For those keeping track of such things... Russia has fired a forth Kinzhal (hyper-sonic-ish) missile since the start of hostilities with Ukraine. This one reportedly injured 6 firefighters in *checks notes* Stavropol, Russia.

oopsy... :138:
