Ukraine will not be allowed to be part of nato.
All they had to do was let the eastern regions secede.. Now the whole of Ukraine will secede

Russia's meat grinder soldiers - 50,000 confirmed dead
7 hours ago
By Olga Ivshina, Becky Dale & Kirstie Brewer, BBC Russian
Russia's military death toll in Ukraine has now passed the 50,000 mark, the BBC can confirm.
In the second 12 months on the front line - as Moscow pushed its so-called meat grinder strategy - we found the body count was nearly 25% higher than in the first year.
BBC Russian, independent media group Mediazona and volunteers have been counting deaths since February 2022.
New graves in cemeteries helped provide the names of many soldiers.
Our teams also combed through open-source information from official reports, newspapers and social media.
More than 27,300 Russian soldiers died in the second year of combat - according to our findings - a reflection of how territorial gains have come at a huge human cost.
Russia has declined to comment.
The term meat grinder has been used to describe the way Moscow sends waves of soldiers forward relentlessly to try to wear down Ukrainian forces and expose their locations to Russian artillery.
The overall death toll - of more than 50,000 - is eight times higher than the only official public acknowledgement of fatality numbers ever given by Moscow in September 2022.
The actual number of Russian deaths is likely to be much higher.
Our analysis does not include the deaths of militia in Russian-occupied Donetsk and Luhansk - in eastern Ukraine. If they were added, the death toll on the Russian side would be even higher.
Ukraine, meanwhile, rarely comments on the scale of its battlefield fatalities. In February, President Volodymyr Zelensky said 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed - but estimates, based on US intelligence, suggest greater losses.

50k dead versus 30k Ukrainians...... Something about this meat grinder narrative doesn't really add up does it.
Not saying they haven't done it, but it's probably way over blown.
Invading armies typically occur 3 to 1 deaths versus defending armies. Ukraine is unfortunately losing a lot of men.
Hence why they've now lowered the conscription age.
They're running out of men and ammunition.
Feels like we all underestimated Russia.

Huh? Typical wounded vs KIA is about 3 to 1.
Iraq War:
Coalition forces (~400,000)
Total dead: 27,163
Iraqi Armed Forces and Sunni Insurgents (~470,000)
Total dead: 71,544

Anecdotal fallacy.
That was not a peer advisory, Iraq's forces paled in comparison to the US.
Generally most military doctrines state the need for a 3 to 1 ratio for an invading army versus defending army.
It stands to reason logically that invading armies will suffer more losses.. especially russian invading armies that don't value human life.

And Ukraine lost 3t SU-25 jets to cluster bombs yesterday or so.
Russia is building up equipment and arms faster than Ukraine is being supplied by the best, they also have have a growing army whereas Ukraine is struggling to find men.
I think we all know what's inevitable, yet for some reason, people like you have been falling hook line and sinker for western propaganda.

Ukraine attacked Dzhankoi Air Base in Crimea.
The weapons used could have been kamikaze drones or ATACMS cluster missiles.
Ukraine also said its forces took out multiple S-400 launchers during the attack.

They were not peer advisories and you know that, the US army was vastly superior

You really think Ukraine and Russia were peer adversaries? This is what they looked like in Feb 2022.
Ukraine was a threat. Its actual war against an actual army.Dizzy28 wrote:sMASH wrote:Carpet bombing an area tends to do that. America was way out of eveybody league technologically in those times.

Civilian casualties have been kept to a minimum.
America just invaded other countries citing WMD's. And admitted the wmd was fake.
That time, 'rules based order' was the moral to impose.
20 years later, u get to see it only applies to enemies and not to themselves.
Its order based rules, and the subjugate countries are upsetting the 'order'
