Ukrainian military fatalities is now an issue. Prior to this week, most Western military analysts bought in to the Ukrainian propaganda that Russia was bleeding troops, but Ukraine was doing fine. That dog is dead. A new friend, Stephen Bryen, just published a piece in the Asian Times that provides an honest, hard hitting assessment of the peril facing Ukraine. Stephen Bryen is a senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy and the Yorktown Institute. He served as a senior Defense Department official in the Reagan Administration. His article is titled, Ukrainian military casualties are big trouble for Biden:
Ukraine’s heavy casualties are a signal that Washington’s de facto war with Russia is in trouble. President Joe Biden has to change direction or face a national security crisis that could end his presidency.
Ukraine may look as if it were winning. The truth is the opposite because Ukraine is running out of manpower it cannot replace. It is losing by attrition on the battlefield and, with the Russians systematically destroying its infrastructure, millions of Ukrainians have fled abroad. It is unlikely the country could recover even if the war should end tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Russia’s manpower problems are less severe. Moscow has been replenishing its supply of front-line troops through an unpopular conscription program at home that has now been extended to the territories in Ukraine that it occupies.
Ukraine finds itself in a similar position that faced the Confederacy in 1864 during the American Civil War. The North towered over the South in terms of manpower. Even though U.S. General Ulysses Grant’s forces suffered more casualties than the Southern forces led by Robert E. Lee during 1864, the North could easily replace its losses. The South could not. By April 1865, the South exhausted its ability to provide new recruits and reinforce depleted battalions and was compelled by necessity to surrender.
A similar fate awaits Ukraine. But this is not a repeat of the last year of the U.S. Civil War, where Union troops made repeated assaults on the entrenched Confederates. Russia, in contrast to the U.S. Army under Grant, is not suffering massive casualties and has barely tapped into its military reserves. Ukraine, by contrast, is exhausting its human resources and no longer can provide essential military training within its geographic boundaries.
The photos and videos of Ukrainian casualties are populating the internet. The image below, as I understand it, is a U.S. designed cemetery for fallen Ukrainian soldiers. Each square can accommodate 105 graves. It appears there are 24 burial squares and a potential of 2,520 burial sites.
The following video was posted in July 2022.
Here we are four months later and the body count is still piling up.
Most Americans are still blinded by the anti-Russian propaganda and fail to understand that Russia’s ability to sustain its military operations is robust. My friend Stephen, for example, is still locked into a Soviet-era mentality when it comes to evaluating Russian capabilities. He writes:
Russia, as is by now well known, also has serious problems both in recruiting and training soldiers, and its ability to replace weapons. But Russia also has huge war stocks it acquired before the downfall of the Soviet Union, and it is now bringing some of them to bear in the Ukraine war.
The reality is the opposite. It is the United States that is struggling to fill recruitment goals. Russia’s mobilization was misrepresented in much of the Western press as forced enlistment of “conscripts.” The majority of the “new” recruits were experienced reservists. The claim that Russian commanders are providing inadequate training is a Western delusional fantasy. Here is a clip of training soldiers to shoot and move as a team:
https://t.me/mod_russia_en/5245
My friend Stephen also fails to appreciate that Russia’s defense industry is modern, efficient and working round the clock. The production of S-400 and S-500 air defense systems surpass anything created during the Soviet era. The same goes for Russia’s electronic warfare capabilities. And neither the United States nor NATO have any weapon system comparable to the hyper sonic missiles Russia is using to great effect on critical Ukrainian infrastructure and bases.

We have been lied to by not only douchebag biden but douchebag greg.
Ukraine has very little in the way of energy, food or water in advance of a predictably cold winter.
We have wasted 10’s of billions of dollars for absolutely nothing.
biden lost Afghanistan and now he is losing Ukraine.
The 10’s of billions of dollars would have been better spent securing our southern border.
Tyrant Zelensky to Ban Ukrainian Church After He Bans Media Outlets and Opposition Party

The US and European intelligence communities estimate that Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has resulted in the deaths of around 100,000 Russians, and around 100,000 Ukrainians.
Putin has a lot of blood on his hands. His soul is soaked with it, and the head of the Russian Orthodox Church has ENCOURAGED it.
The Russians have abandoned the bodies of their own dead as they fled—just like they abandoned their military equipment. Their rotting corpses are no more imaginary than their abandoned artillery and blown-up tanks.
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church officially broke away from the Russian Orthodox Church, but some officials within it harbor strong allegiance to the Russian church and Patriarch Kirill, who strongly supports Putin and his bloody invasion of Ukraine.
F*ck Putin and his pimps—who are particularly worthy of the contempt of the righteous if they disguise themselves as godly men.
The bible is quite specific about men laying with men, I and the Orthodox church refer to a higher source. The High Bishop has made his statement.
Kirill on March 6 depicted the war in spiritual terms.
“We have entered into a struggle that has not a physical, but a metaphysical significance,” he said.
He contended that some of the Donbas separatists were suffering for their “fundamental rejection of the so-called values that are offered today by those who claim world power.”
He claimed that this unnamed world power is posing a “test for the loyalty” of countries by demanding they hold gay pride parades to join a global club of nations with its own ideas of freedom and “excess consumption.”
Zelensky is an evil little puppet that as long as his coffers swell couldnt care less how many die.
Zelenskyy isn’t the guy who has murdered pregnant women and Ukrainian children in their clearly marked shelters. He isn’t the guy who targeted schools, children’s hospitals, and nursing homes. His troops aren’t the rapists, looters, and torturers of civilians. Zelenskyy isn’t the one who’s systematically destroying a nation’s electrical infrastructure, hoping to bring about mass civilian deaths by freezing and starvation.
By the way, Donnie Boy—you’re as a big douche bag as your pappy, and your penis is probably even smaller.
Yes Zelenskyy does all those things and worse, they intentionally place troops and weapons in and around civiliains its a tactic learned from palestine terrorists. You fall for this shit.
How evil were allied forces bombing German cities its war.
Zelenskyy and Biden do have one major thing in common, however.
They were both illegally installed.
And by the way, greg…since you missed this back in your Episcopal School.
“All is fair in love and war.”
Putin is fighting a war, and winning it…at that.

As long as Russia has an 18% unemployment rate, there will be plenty of males willing to become soldiers as long as they get paid.
Russia’s age demographics look bad, but ours looked just as bad before joe started pumi=ping illegals in to replace young workers.
Since Russia doesn’t want just anybody moving in they look for Russian populated areas to poach, like Ukraine.
Drone attacks on Russian air bases — far from the front lines in the Ukraine war — could be viewed by Moscow as the most glaring force protection failure since the invasion of Ukraine was launched in late February, the British Ministry of Defense said.
–
“The causes of the explosions have not been confirmed. However, if Russia assesses the incidents were deliberate attacks, it will probably consider them as some of the most strategically significant failures of force protection since its invasion of Ukraine,” the British defense ministry said Tuesday, adding that “the Russian chain of command will probably seek to identify and impose severe sanctions on Russian officers deemed responsible for allowing the incident.”
Maybe they should seek to identify and impose severe sanctions on the idiot who launched Russia’s “Special Military Operation”.
Two air bases in Russia were attacked on Monday in incidents that were followed by a drone strike on Tuesday at an oil facility near an airfield in Kursk — located on the border with Ukraine. Monday’s drone strikes occurred at Engels-2 air base in Saratov, roughly 315 miles from Ukrainian territory, and the Dyagilevo air base in Ryazan, approximately 285 miles from Ukrainian territory and roughly 130 miles from Moscow. The airbases house Russian strategic bombers…
Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged Wednesday that his “special military operation” in Ukraine is taking longer than expected but hailed the seizure of his neighbor’s territory as a major achievement and said his country’s nuclear weapons are deterring escalation of the conflict.
–
“Of course, it could be a lengthy process,” Putin said of the more than 9-month-old war that began with Russia’s invasion Feb. 24 and has displaced millions from their homes, and killed and wounded tens of thousands. Despite its length, he showed no signs of letting up, vowing to “consistently fight for our interests” and to “protect ourselves using all means available.” He reiterated his claim that he had no choice but to send in troops, saying that for years, the West’s response to Russia security demands were “only spit in the face.”
–
Speaking in a televised meeting in Russia with members of his Human Rights Council, Putin described the land gains as “a significant result for Russia,” noting that the Sea of Azov “has become Russia’s internal sea.” In one of his frequent historic references to a Russian leader he admires, he added that “Peter the Great fought to get access” to that body of water…
“Longer than expected” doesn’t mean Russia is losing.
Our corrupt government along with the UK’s caused this war, and it’s destroying Europe.
We need peace now, and internally those who are responsibly for money laundering and death in Ukraine — Biden, Pelosi, any candidate who took FTX money — needs to be investigated, charged, and jailed as required by law.
Putin is going to lose because the West can’t afford to let him win. Europe and America will continue to back Ukraine until Putin is removed from power by those who prop up his regime. His military has failed spectacularly on the battlefield. Limited attacks against military targets deep inside Russia’s national borders are intended to drive that point home.
Post-conflict, Ukraine will become a NATO member and be reconstructed with European aid, because Ukraine’s offshore energy resources and agricultural production will be important to Europe’s future. Europe prefers such a mutually beneficial partnership with Ukraine to domination by Putin’s Russia. Ukraine’s refugees will flood back into their homeland.
Russia’s Vladimir Putin and his cronies already have a plan in place to flee the country once things go sideways, a former aide to the Russian president has claimed.\
–
Abbas Gallyamov, a former speechwriter for Putin, made the astounding claim on Telegram early Wednesday, citing an unnamed source that he said had “insider” information on the whole affair.
–
The evacuation plan, according to Gallyamov, got underway back in the spring, when it was unofficially dubbed “Noah’s Ark.
–
“As the name implies, it’s about a search for new land to go to in case it becomes completely uncomfortable in the homeland. The leader’s entourage has not ruled out that he will lose the war, be stripped of power, and have to urgently evacuate somewhere,” Gallyamov wrote.
–
Putin’s inner circle first considered a plan to evacuate to China, Gallyamov said, but later thought better of it, fearing the chances of “cooperation” from the Chinese were slim, especially since they despise “losers.” Now, he said, the focus has shifted to either Argentina or Venezuela, with Putin ally Igor Sechin currently overseeing an evacuation plan for the latter country…
Thirty minutes after Putin used a nuke, Moscow could be incinerated. Russians know that. Consequently, using a nuke in Ukraine would bring an immediate end to Putin. There would be a coup in the Kremlin to avoid cataclysmic retaliation.
Nobody wants to play nuclear Russian roulette because it’s totally insane. There are no empty chambers in the revolver.
Putin might as well put a bullet through his own head as use a tactical nuke. He might not give a damn, but his regime is propped up by people who do. Too difficult to follow?
This war ends when Putin’s miscalculations bring about his own personal downfall.

Russia will not nuke its own land, the strikes into Russian territory are Biden and WEF provocation. we know why. Ukraine is a baby nation has a long history of being Russian territory.
“The attacks are repeatable. We have no limitation on distance and soon we will be able to reach all targets inside Russia — including in Siberia,” said a Ukrainian government defense adviser who spoke on condition of anonymity. “In Ukraine, we know how hard it is to defend against these kinds of air attacks. Soon Russia will also have no safe zones.”
So Putin should stop with the kid gloves and go after the soft targets of Ukrainian cities Bomb Zelenskyys home, officies and fake television studios to rubble. He has lost the protection of the church.
Trying to hit military targets as they hide in hospitals and schools areas heavy with innocent civililians that the Nazis wrap to poles and rape and carve nazi symbols into womens bodies. While on narcotics.
The hospitals and schools Putin is bombarding are in Ukraine. The Ukrainians are defending their own towns and cities. What do you not understand about this?
I’d give them cluster munitions in an instant. Putin has been using them against civilian Ukrainian targets for months.
Time magazine says Zelinsky is “person of the year.”
Makes sense from the WEF standpoint.
WEF members are all-in on killing people.
Zelinsky has been leading that charge, killing more people than even abortionists in the USA.
WEF has really warped values and seen by their mouthpiece’s choice as “person of the year.” Russia-Ukraine war: US general estimates 200,000 military casualties.Add in 40,000 civilians died after being caught up in Russia’s war in Ukraine, Milley, who serves as US President Joe Biden’s most senior military adviser, suggested.

Finally some good news
The Russian numbers are a lie
Putin is winning and biden is losing yet again
There is no path to victory for Ukraine
No more money to this boondoggle. Enough has been wasted.
The Russians have abandoned the bodies of their own dead as they fled—just like they abandoned their military equipment. Their rotting corpses are no more imaginary than their abandoned artillery and blown-up tanks.
Putin has a lot of blood on his hands. His soul is soaked with it, and the head of the Russian Orthodox Church has ENCOURAGED it.
What has that to do with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church?
The Church survived the USSR This queer wont be its downfall.
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church officially broke away from the Russian Orthodox Church, but some officials within it harbor strong allegiance to the Russian church and Patriarch Kirill, who strongly supports Putin and his bloody invasion of Ukraine.
F*ck Putin and his pimps—who are particularly worthy of the contempt of the righteous if they disguise themselves as godly men.
By the way, your bigotry is showing.

Dictators have to have a plan, after all.
Are you going to have a room open for him in Europe?
It’s all “victory” until Putin uses a nuke and Ukraine/EU surrenders IMMEDIATELY.
Thirty minutes after Putin used a nuke, Moscow could be incinerated. Russians know that. Consequently, using a nuke in Ukraine would bring an immediate end to Putin. There would be a coup in the Kremlin to avoid cataclysmic retaliation.
Nobody wants to play nuclear Russian roulette because it’s totally insane. There are no empty chambers in the revolver.
“Thirty minutes after Putin used a nuke, Moscow could be incinerated.”
Uh huh. And Washington would be incinerated about 5 minutes BEFORE that.
And yet that’s precisely what the Biden regime is doing.
There’s no reason Putin wouldn’t use a tactical nuke, and no justification for America starting global nuclear war over it.
NONE.
As I said, all of this propaganda about how Russia is “losing” ends when Putin uses a tactical nuke.
Putin might as well put a bullet through his own head as use a tactical nuke. He might not give a damn, but his regime is propped up by people who do. Too difficult to follow?
This war ends when Putin’s miscalculations bring about his own personal downfall.
