Never quit thinking positive
Yep that’s all one can do right now i’m afraid, what’s more worrying is that it is all in the hands of politicians and that is s__t scary
Just thinking about it i wouldn’t mind living in Australia right now
im to old to give a s__t m8 im happy where i am lol
Good point Virgil, much in the same boat as you pal.
As they always say, “What will be will be”
2 Himars missiles hit the Russian base in occupied Makiivka - where there were 600 recruits, brought before being sent to the front. Fixed next to an ammunition dump. Not a single one escaped, there is nothing left there, everything is completely pulverized. It is confirmed by all the Russian Telegram channels that are now desperate.
Images from there:

Virgil I agree 100% as much as I don’t want to agree but it looks like things will get worse before getting better in Ukraine.
As for Kim Jong-un, the little crazy fat fucker could do something yes even though he knows the meaning of M.A.D. But I personally see the likelihood of a tactical nuke being used quicker in Ukraine than one against South Korea.
I have followed the events in Ukraine very, very closely since 2008 (let alone Crimea’s annexation in 2014) and I have said right from the start, DO NOT underestimate how serious this could get both inside and outside Russia. There is so much potential for serious escalation. Unlike Kim Jong-un, Putin’s madness is more inner that outward. He could be looking at this as Russia’s last stand and will stop at nothing to make his twisted point. In reality I think he has triggered the downfall of an empire. How Russia will ever get back to pre-war status I don’t know.
@John78 Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the video and I had no problem looking at dead invaders. More people in Russia need to see what awaits them if they decide to join a failing army. I predict another draft soon and Russia will close its borders to young men. Although not directly involved in the war Belarus will probably do the same. I did say ‘Directly’ meaning no troops but they are still in deep behind it all.
You are very welcome. The numbers are kind of like this:
Russia lost over 100,000 soldiers in 2022. In 2023, at the pace of the last months (after “mobilization”) - the losses will be at least 200,000. so 300,000 in total to which are added the wounded and/or deeply traumatized who will not recover (about 3 to 1)
We are talking about 1.2-1.5 million military casualties on the Russian side until the end of 2023. And the war will continue in 2024…
Russia has about 70 million men, of which probably a maximum of half can fight at all (the rest are c___dren and old people). So losses of 3-4% of all adult men in less than two years. In the republics where the most soldiers are brought from - it will mean more than 10%.
It’s something unimaginable, but the madness will continue. From the latest news, it seems that Putin will accelerate the mobilization, will send even more to the front, so these estimated losses are probably too small. Because they won’t actually have weapons anymore, but they will be sent wave after wave to die, without equipment, without ammunition, without training.
It is shocking and terrible what one man is doing. I agree 100% on another mobilization, if not a large one but likely a few more similar to what we have seen already. Putin has already stated, losing 500k men to get the job done is fine with him. Imagine that for a moment, 500,000 dead Russian soldiers to make a point and he can still s___p at night?!! Fair enough he can mobilize a lot more men but getting enough weapons and supplies to them is huge let alone getting logistics right which is an even bigger challenge and one which has proven to be disastrous thus far.
A lot of people are saying this year will be a turning point and will see the war end. I am nowhere near as confident because although 2023 will be eventful (at times) with gains and losses for both sides I think it will easily drag on well into 2024 if not 25. I hope I’m wrong but I doubt it. I think Ukraine will eventually get to Crimea but not this year as many are saying. There is a long way to go between Kherson and Crimea and the Russians are very well dug in. It might not look like it on a map but lets remember just how big Ukraine is… like Elon’s dick lol. The Russians know what is coming and they have already had plenty of time to prepare for it. I think Crimea will be hard to take but I also think it will ‘Eventually’ fall ‘That’ will be a massive turning point. A definitive moment.
Nice to see the Wagner group bodies pile up. They are actually terrorists and as he rightly said in the video, let the black ‘Trash’ bags pile up!! HIMARS haven’t been used to the same extent lately mainly because of the arrival of winter and more Ukrainian ground offensives right now but Ukraine has been taking delivery at the same rate. In other words the momentum of HIMARS rockets being delivered has never changed and more unit trucks / full systems have and will continue to arrive. Jeez I bet they have a lot of HIMAR ammo already stockpiled for 2023. How the fuck does Putin think he can win this? That is the one thing I really have no idea about.
Yes I watched this earlier today / yesterday. Let me make the understatement of 2023 already… Putin is not in the right frame of mind and to make it even more extreme I’ll add to that and say… something isn’t right.
Seriously, he was soooooo mislead with false information mainly down to so much corruption he didn’t know about. I don’t want to sound like a broken record but I bet heads have rolled we will either never know about or very much later. Like I said before, I bet there has been more than ‘‘Raised Voices’’ in the Kremlin
These Wagner fighters are terrorists and not even soldiers. They should be annihilated with all measures available…
Best way to eliminate them before they can even enter the battlefield.
Hopefully prigozhin will fall from a window soon
