In the end I can see Putin and his generals slowly exhausting Ukraines army. They will continue to mobilise men, using them as canon fodder, along side the Wagner Group, Chechen fighters, etc. He will keep on pouring enlisted men into the fight until they start making strategic gains in parts of the East and in other parts of the country. Putin won’t give in.

Burgeoning volunteer movement has taken on increasingly prominent role in supplying Russian forces fighting in Ukraine.

You think the Ukrainians will?

Why would they need martial law are they worried about a revolution?

The reaction to the mobilisation of 250k as cannon fodder wasn't good. I think the reaction to the mobilisation of another 500k of meat products would be even worse. So probably the need for martial law.

Have the Russians ever moved on from WW1 tactics I wonder?

i saw a video of the russians attacking some trenches , they had to come down what looked like a ravine towards the trenches , no cover ,just walked towards the ukrainians ,they didn't last long

Struggling to see why NATO would intervene unless Lukashenko is removed and replaced by a pro western leader and there is resistance in Belarus along the lines of what happened early doors in Ukraine.

Does Russia have the capability to open a second front in Belarus? Would insurrection in Belarus force the abandonment of their "special operation", at least temporarily?

Interesting if it happens

They already have a democratically elected new leader but she was ousted by that porn tashed gimp.

Of course not. But in the end numerical numbers will start to make a difference. Like everyone I want Ukraine to win the war, but with both sides taking massive losses on the battlefield, Putin and Russia have the numerical soldier numbers to outlast Ukraine. We all know Putin won’t stop. He will continue to meat grind Ukraines army, never mind Russias army, until one way or another he get’s what he wants or he claims some sort of victory.

Not if you can't fund your war and your population back home start to see reality. A Ukrainian soldier is worth 10x a russian malnourished dog. Boots on the ground are worthless if badly supplied and poorly led.

It’s not just about numbers, though, and their numerical advantage hasn’t helped them since the spring. Why is sending a load more of conscripts going to suddenly change the direction of travel. It’s also about weaponry and motivation, as well as numbers, both of which Ukraine has a palpable advantage in.

Russia cannot and will not win this war.
