We're coming up on Month 5 of the fabled four week Ukrainian offensive that was to have pushed the Russians back to Moscow by August. The Ukranians are estimated to have taken more than a quarter of a million casualties, are almost totally out of armored vehicles and are largely down to attacking in waves like zombies by drugging their conscripted soldiers with methamphetamine. We've even seen the most blatant attempt at a CIA color revolution in our lifetimes in the form of the hastily aborted Wagner rebellion, and the company has since largely been absorbed into the Russian Ministry of Defense. And we've finally started seeing fatigue set in within the US political system as the normally cowardly cuckolds of the Republican party are now suggesting that pouring a third of the defense budget into the most corrupt country on earth might have been a bad idea.
Thus I ask, how do you think the conflict will be resolved?
One small caveat, since I haven't seen this mentioned much on the site. The Russians officially consider the United States a belligerent in the war, and won't accept negotiations brokered by the US government. Turns out lend lease isn't a trick that works twice.
They are willing to officially admit to 400,000 dead Ukraine soldiers, but it's likely closer to 500,000. After they get a few more 10's of billions they'll admit a new number. It's not even like the Russians are supermen, it's just the area the Ukrainians are assaulting is minefield and lowground. Any time 2-3 Ukrainians group up, they get picked-up by drone or satellite and auto-artilleried. If you're lucky it's just perma hearing loss and some scars, but it seems it's more likely limb loss and/or death. The Russian artillery outranges the NATO stuff (older gen) by 30-40% and they have air superiority.
The whole fucking thing is retarded anyhow. The region the Russians are squatting on voted to leave Ukraine years ago. So it's not even a true 'We gotta save them!" kinda thing. As, they don't even want to be Ukrainian, especially after the Azov killed 14,000 of them since 2014.
And there is a greater shadow conflict in play. It's two different groups of globalist oligarchs trying to quagmire and waste each other's resources and attention. But, at the end of the day they'd join forces to shit on regular people if it came down to it. The choices the two different groups offer you are: Be a welfare drone in a multicultural NPC farm (the West), or be a low-skill laborer in a robber barony (the East).
