After World War II I can see why people are tempted to say that Russia has no breaking point. But that is ignoring that Russia reached a breaking point in World War I. Afghanistan would also be an argument for Russia can't fight a war forever.
The Russo Japanese war (1905) had the problem were Russia was fighting with an untrained navy and a cautious army. The army held there ground, but the failure of the navy is what lost that war.
Errr.....there was this country called Iraq,and apparently they had doomsday weapons, and so we killed 2 million of them,and we gained absolutely f*ck all.....oh yeah....and the doomsday weapons were never found. Learn some history ffs!!!!!!
The Russian "meatwave" attacks only became "successful" in Avdiivka AFTER Ukraine ran so low on ammunition that they were no longer able to defend their positions. Russia took the rubble pile formally known as Avdiivka due to the US withholding military aid for 5 months, NOT because of anything Russia did in particular. The proof for this is the failed Russian offensive in Kharkiv- Russia was able to advance while Ukraine still remained extremely short on ammo, but once the US supplies finally started reaching the front, Russia was immediately stopped and even pushed back.
Stop the lie. If Ukraine can't win with the supplies they have, they are WASTING IT by being reckless & just spraying & praying. They need to change their strategy to one that stays within their means. NO ONE has an unlimited supply of ammo, so their strategy & tactics need to reflect that.

Well, its 50-50 whether his successor is worse or better... Believe it or now, he is actually quite middle-of-the-road, compared to the extreme people around him....
To put things in perspective, the US lost about 2,500 troops in combat from 20 years in Afghanistan... When people talk about military "failures," remember there are levels to this.
Comparing US vc Taliban and Russia vc Ukraine (with almost infinite help) is useles. Also, maybe I'm misremembering, who won the Afghanistan thingy? Who left billions of dollars of materiel?
I'm from Russia, so I know very well that no one was taken on the streets. Many people went voluntarily simply because they're idiots. There was a draft of 300 thousand people, but there are no real punishments like going to prison for a long time if you do not come to the military enlistment office
@@Sol-En Article 328 of the Criminal code of The Russian Federation says otherwise. Fines, seized wages, prison or forced labor awaits those who do not answer Putins call.
Fun fact for any vatnik reading these comments: Russia lost the war all on their own day 3 before any NATO help arrived. How? Hostomel airport. You had the strongest elements of the Russian army, the VDV, in the airport in Kiev - all they had to do was hold that airport and get their planes to land there for reinforcements. They failed. No outside help had arrived yet as it was only day 3. It is arguable that Russia would have won outright had the VDV simply held the airport. But they didn't. Cope and seethe.
The battle for Hostomel is one for the historybooks, check Wikipedia.. UK had been working with the Ukranians since 2014 and they had a lot of tankkillers and manpads, so it is not like "NATO" help was totally absent. CIA warned Ukraine about what date the attack would happen. At Hostomel there were even armed civillians firing at the Russians. I agree the battle for Hostomel was a key moment. The Ukranians really showed what kind of resistance they would have in the rest of the war. No welcome roses for the occupants,
The German blitz into Russia (Soviet Union) initially stalled around Kyiv, sure they eventually got to the outskirts of Moscow but they lost the war right there in the fields of Ukraine, it just took them 2 years to finish losing. Russia didn't learn that lesson very well.
For Ukraine Germany was the very least of two evils. 200.000 newly freed Ukrainian men joined the coalition of the willing, to drive the war into Moscow, just like Finland and Germany had done in the north at Leningrad. It is unfathomable the Allies armed Russia and let them invade and keep countless countries.
The Germans never lost any significant battles until the Battle of Moscow. It was then a seesaw war until Stalingrad after which the Germans never won another significant battle.
Oh well, Germany recovered after much worse. Btw, I don't belive a word about loses on both sides. This is low intensity war, meant to be waged for years with low casualties in technics and manpower. Everybody with a salt in the head knows that, fanboys of either side can belive what they want.
@@davidrichards7900 Unless of course jimmyallen8516 is merely trying to say that the Russian People (average citizens) didn't start this, and it was a corrupt government (Putin and higher ups) that started this. In which case s/he should have been more clear.
And according to every conversation that I have heard from Russian POWs, not one soldier can say what his friends are doing for. Their usual response is “I don’t know about politics.” What? You’re out there dying and killing mostly innocent civilians, but you don’t care to pay attention to POLITICS?? WTF is wrong with these people? Insanity reigns!!! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦👍
The social contract is the the citizens stay out of politics and the oligarchs keep things stable. Yes, it's stupid, but it's been the social construct in Russia for centuries.
The culture and values in Russia are very different to the west. In Russia, life is cheap and always has been cheap . Your typical Russian won’t mind or ask questions about heavy losses of life as long as they themselves are not being conscripted.
@@moscuadelendaest People have been saying the same bs about them for thousands of years. Same with the Germans, but they're magically different now. It's racist garbage
In the late 1990’s media companies around the world tried to hide the extreme shame of Russia, because it was just too much depravity. Russian trains restocked meat from morgues. With a culture like that, guess what their ”soldiers” are eating.
@@spookysquirtle It wouldn't really change the numbers that much anyway. Not enough to make russian losses anywhere reasonable for its perceived capabilities.
As global tensions continue to rise, it's a good time to explore strategies for hedging our investments and reducing exposure to potential market volatility
Given the uncertainty, one could incorporate safe-haven assets. Going long on U.S. defense stocks could be a solid option, considering the geopolitical landscape.
I agree. Defense stocks do well in times of geopolitical instability, as long as there's no financial fraud. Defense ETFs help spread risk by investing in different companies in the sector.
While defense stocks and ETFs are smart choices, don’t forget about the historical role of gold during uncertain times. Its value tends to rise as a hedge against geopolitical risks. How about allocating a portion of the prtfolio to gold?
As I near retirement, I value gold for its consistent store of value. In addition to conventional assets, my fin advsr, Glen Howard Chester, investigates alternative investments such as digital assets, as he would say. Despite initial doubts, I entered the crypto mrket at the $30,000 support level before various developments, resulting in a 250% increase from my initial $100,000 invstment. It is worth considering altcoins for further diversification.
Their losses here are a drop in the bucket on the scale of their population. They have over 20 million men of military age. Their losses so far could collapse their military, but it's not going to lead to demographic collapse. They would need to lose millions of soldiers for that to be a concern.
The thing hardly anyone seems to point out is: taking cities when lines are stretched too thin is nearly impossible. Russia may be nearing this within the next few weeks to months
All very interesting, but you have also missed specifying one VERY important failing with the Russian forces: Most modern Western troops are well-trained to operate pretty autonomously i.e. they're given the mission details but a lot of the decisions made on the ground are made by the units themselves in real time. This makes them highly effective and able to adapt to changing circumstances as they arise. Russian forces, however, have a culture of NOT being trained or operated this way, but instead having more senior offices 'micro-managing' them... telling them where to go, what to shoot at etc. at almost every stage and level ! Often this means that the units just don't know what they should be doing... waiting around.... being massively inefficient. All while waiting to be told what to do. Of course this renders them vulnerable to the alternatively trained and experienced forces e.g. of Ukraine: This is, I understand the major issue that western armies had to 'train out' of the Ukrainian troops when they first started helping them out after Crimea was illegally annexed in 2014. Why ? Well before that they'd been used to Russian military culture up until we started helping them train in the last 10+ years. The results have been spectacularly good for the Ukrainians, but disastrous for the Russians. One additional result/impact has been the high number of senior Russian officers that have been picked off by the Ukrainians whenever they get identified close to the front.... which feeds into the general vicious circle of Russian ineptitude... and casualties.
The hierarchy of the military is so sharp that there are no capable leaders on the front lines, so nobody to say ‘okay men, let’s go’. As individuals, they have had an autocratic government for a long time, they don’t have that kind of independent thinking. The ‘meatgrinder’ only works when you have both of those conditions in place.
@@Finesser-94 plenty of both Ukrainians and Russians avoiding conscription at all costs. If all the would-be conscripts were guaranted some safe heaven refugee stay by third parties I bet the conflict would have puttered out by now, limited only to the contract/mercenaries at least on the Russian side you can see how there's a shortage to keep up the occupation.
… if true, and I mean IF because they are relying upon foreign governments for the ‘stats’. Russia has so many soldiers and at the bottom of that pile they are willing to attrition is the Largest Nuclear Stockpile in the whole world… I pray for the world this is wrong, it appears to be an attempt to bolster morale on the Ukraine side because they are running out of military % wise a lot faster. Like you said no winner and the whole world may lose yet.
I think there was too much focus on manpower. Russia can keep mobilizing men for years. The real problem is that the old stocks of soviet era tanks. APCs, artillery systems and other heavy equipment is slowly running out, and the new production can´t cope with the daily losses on the battlefield. My assumption is that Russia is kaputt, finito in the summer of 2025. If not before. You can´t fight a modern war with only light infantry and no heavy equipment, it doesn´t matter how many these infanterists are.
@@ingemarsjoo4542add to that the increasing losses of such pieces of equipment by the hands of unmanned drones, the sheer negative cost effectiveness of it too
@@CarViewsGR I,m aware they are buying artillery ammunition from North Korea and drones from Iran. They also buy some electronic components from China, which they don´t produce themselves and are vital in their rockets and planes. But that is not enough, compared to the western military aid to Ukraine. The stocks of old equipments from the soviet era is running out. If I was a russian soldier I would be alarmed to se antique tanks arrive at the front, in some cases produced already when Stalin was still alive! (he died in 1953). Estimations from Oryx, who has monitored the bases where old equipment is stored, suggest that with present tempo there are no old tanks and APCs left at all in 24 months, maybe even in 18 months, since much of this old crap stored outside, without shelter, not even the simplest kind of roof, probably is beyond repair. Oryx uses satellite photos. There are some new production of T-90 tanks, but since the tank factories in Omsk and Niznyj Tagil have been heavely underfinanced since the fall of the Soviet Union 1991, and the present factories consequently are mere shadows of what they were in the 1980-ies, it´s not probable they can produce more than four a day. Inte the best case. Compare that with the production of T-34 at the end of WWII, when USSR made 2000 a month! Russias only hope is that Trump win the presidential election and stop all military aid to Ukraine. USSR was an industrial superpower, in todays Russia large parts of the heavy machinery industry is scrapped, and the country has instead prioritized oil- and gasproduction.
Actually Pootin was advised that UA would fall in 10-14days once Kiev,UA Government fell and that the UA People would welcome their Russian "Liberators".
I mean, even I that I am no expert in Ukraine, knew they would fight to the death for their country judging by what happened in Maidan.... but the dvmb russians believed they would welcome them.
@flipw3605 we like to hear the delusion of you people that think ukraine ever had a fighting chance this war is really over ukraine needs to just surrender and take their losses they are dying for no reason at this point do some real research bro
1,000 young, fit men losing their lives; losing their place in the development of their country. Young men who will never marry, never have children - and for what purpose? For the vanity of *_one man!_* And that one man is learning that when you pick a fight with somebody and land a few good punches, with the intention of crushing his opponent with the first few punches - but damn it! The opponent is not crushed. He has got up, and has started to punch back - and it's hurting! This isn't how it was supposed to happen! But outside of the Kremlin, on the battle-field, it didn't seem that the Russian soldiers who were sent to Ukraine really wanted a fight - at first, they were friendly, not seeing the Ukranians as enemies - so I feel sorry for those guys, for the others who are still facing possible death from day to day, and for their families. And for the Ukranian soldiers, who are fighting because they were attacked, this whole thing is a massive injustice.
Most of RU guys not fit, many not even young. Lots of alcohol and drug users, probably incapable of having or keeping a GIRLFRIEND, much less having a wife or family, which requires a steady income. Remember most of these guys were there to pay off debts! They were broke and judging from photos and videos, in poor health. But maybe some would have children. These are young men who shouldn’t be there and should NOT have to die. Well, there’s always the Russian Revolution, fight back!. They ARE the military, after all.
Imagine your government cares so little that they're barely training you and then sending you to die in a war that was optional for Russia in the first place. I understand when this happened during WW2, when nations were running out of actual soldiers, but this is actually evil.
"Kill-bots? A trifle! You see, Kill-bots have a built-in kill quota. Knowing their weakness, i simply sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their kill quotas and shut down." ---Captain Zap Brannigan, "Futurama".
What are you talking about? In last 3 months Ukraine has fired more missiles at Russia then Russia did the last 3 years. Ukraine is firing 1000s of Natos best weapons endless missile barrages. Natos entire armory and weapon stockpile is being spammed at Russia. Ukraine fired 11,000 missiles recently, Russia had less then 5,000 at the start of the war. It's literally 50 country's throwing everything including the kitchen sink, all that's left is f-35s now.
Except with a functioning, modern government and military, and an educated populous. That means NATO doesn’t have to actually go in and fight, they can support from behind. And when it’s over, Ukraine will be able to function with support, unlike Afghanistan.
If Russia succeeds in this conflict the real question is at what cost? Will they have any remaining ability to stand up to a more major power such as NATO, or China? They already have prompted several countries in Europe to join NATO making it stronger all the while Russia continues to get weaker and weaker.
We’ve definitely seen a sunk-cost fallacy for a while now. The war has lasted so long Putin cannot and will not pull out, even if the cost of taking Ukraine has already far exceeded any of the benefits
That's not how Economy works dude If the Govenrment Is struck, the people Will get struck. If the people get struck, the Government will get struck. Economy Is a cycle of cash and services. You do your job as some Service, get cash for it and then use the money in another Service that you pay for and get someone their payment. Russian Govenrment has taxes like every country. DO NOT, end up with Versailles treaty 2.0
What keeps men joining the military anywhere is either money or patriotism. In both cases, there has to be the hope that at some point the conflict will end and they can return alive to whatever rewards may be provided. If that possibility is reduced to near zero nothing will get men to volunteer.
There is videos of people in small town russia scared that ukraine is attacking their homeland and they don't know why. And Russia's recruitment is largely from these areas. They honestly probably think they are fighting in defence. Atleast a large amount of the population. There's a video of an older woman saying something like why won't they leave us alone. It's mental
They also use conscription, which means you don't have a choice once chosen for service. It should have led to a massive uprising from the populace already, but they apparently learned how to avoid it from happening... so far.
The Russian command pays bonuses for people that are at the front ,but they don't admit these people are at the front ,and when they die they don't get the bonuses.
You don't mention the devastating economic collapse russia is in and the tech difference in jet, tanks and weapons as well as drones and body armor their veteran army have let alone the rest.
@@graemepeters5717 Issue is Russia doesn’t have the production capacity or materials to make significant amounts of its most modern equipment. Take the T-14 and SU57 for example, last time I checked the amount of those things was somewhere under 20. That isn’t good for what is essentially on par with advanced western vehicles
Your thumbnail of this video wins the “Best Visual for Russian Strategy” award. Save it and similar for after the war to show it to the Russian people. To those who are left.

@@Ronin____5000 Those tactics only worked in the end due to Russia getting help from all sides in various ways. Russia's virtually alone in this with only China trying to exploit their stupidity and they're up in part against the people that enabled their survival in WW2...Russia can't win this, war is won these days based mostly on money and they're poor as shit. There are US STATES, single STATES that earn more GDP per year than Russia, they are incredibly, incredibly weak. Ukraine will only receive MORE support should Russia achieve any kind of further advancement in the war as a form of righteous retaliation, they are doomed.
Militarily Russia and China are similar. Both militaries have massive corruption at the top, siphoning money for the military into the pockets of its leaders. Both have inferior equipment; Russia has ancient equipment with some new equipment; China has poorly engineered equipment that has not been field tested. In the Korean War, China used the meat grinder technique. The only war they fought since then was with Vietnam where they got their butt kicked. Russia has more experience, but they don't seem to learn and adapt from their mistakes. Demographically, both Russia and China are doomed. Their populations are aging and not being replaced. It is estimated in ten years that China will lose about 400 to 600 million people. Russia faces a similar prospect. Both countries could break up into several smaller countries by that time.
Good leaders have allies and trade agreements, friends they can TRUST, countries they can depend on. Good leaders are not hiding in their bunkers worrying about their neighbors encroachment or attacking their neighbors to steal their territory.
Putin also has a coalition, which includes Iran, North Korea, China (which is playing coy, but is a likely mastermind behind the whole thing and also the largest supplier of the materiel). More importantly, these allies are actually committed to the cause while the Ukrainian allies don't really want "their side" to win (or so it seems). Most allies push Ukraine towards a negotiated settlement at the expense of giving up its occupied territories (and then some). The only thing that stops it from being actually implemented is the unwillingness of Russian regime to do so. Kremlin wants the whole Ukraine, and then the rest of Eastern Europe, and they believe that it's totally achievable for them, given enough time.
The regional recruitment issue serves some purposes beyond simple racial prejudice. Drawing from poorer regions also makes it cheaper to attract the recruits. He is avoiding losses among his imperial core where it would matter more politically and economically. And possibly the best benefit to him is that he is drawing down fighting age/fitness male population from the areas he might have to worry about rising up against him if things keep going poorly. As evil dictator moves go it is quite the good one.
Any country doesn’t care about lives when it comes to winning a war. Training IS the most importance to winning. Better trained solders not only win wars and survival of one’s solders. Troops don’t fight for their country they fight for their fellow brother of war. They fight to survive and use their training to bring each others home. That’s why I believe in being thankful and they deserve more from their country. I thank every solder I come across. They get my respect.
Putin can keep going for a while still. However,.. morale will not improve going forward. Quality of soldiers will not improve going forward. Equipment and supplies will not improve going forward. On the Ukrainian side, morale will not deteriorate significantly provided the West keep supply up and restrictions on targets are lifted. Quality of soldiers will hold a higher standard as a result of superior morale and improved supplies. To sum up, the key is more and better supplies, and not forcing Ukrainian Generals to fight with one hand tied behind their back. Slava Ukraini!

Fun fact for any vatnik reading these comments: Russia lost the war all on their own day 3 before any NATO help arrived. How? Hostomel airport.
You had the strongest elements of the Russian army, the VDV, in the airport in Kiev - all they had to do was hold that airport and get their planes to land there for reinforcements. They failed. No outside help had arrived yet as it was only day 3. It is arguable that Russia would have won outright had the VDV simply held the airport. But they didn't.
Cope and seethe.
Russia has already lost, but Ukraine can still win or lose.
The battle for Hostomel is one for the historybooks, check Wikipedia.. UK had been working with the Ukranians since 2014 and they had a lot of tankkillers and manpads, so it is not like "NATO" help was totally absent. CIA warned Ukraine about what date the attack would happen. At Hostomel there were even armed civillians firing at the Russians.
I agree the battle for Hostomel was a key moment. The Ukranians really showed what kind of resistance they would have in the rest of the war. No welcome roses for the occupants,

They didn't want to hold territory in the west.
The German blitz into Russia (Soviet Union) initially stalled around Kyiv, sure they eventually got to the outskirts of Moscow but they lost the war right there in the fields of Ukraine, it just took them 2 years to finish losing. Russia didn't learn that lesson very well.
And I bet Germany’s armored vehicle tires didn’t blow out b/c they were Made in China!
For Ukraine Germany was the very least of two evils. 200.000 newly freed Ukrainian men joined the coalition of the willing, to drive the war into Moscow, just like Finland and Germany had done in the north at Leningrad. It is unfathomable the Allies armed Russia and let them invade and keep countless countries.

As global tensions continue to rise, it's a good time to explore strategies for hedging our investments and reducing exposure to potential market volatility
Given the uncertainty, one could incorporate safe-haven assets. Going long on U.S. defense stocks could be a solid option, considering the geopolitical landscape.
I agree. Defense stocks do well in times of geopolitical instability, as long as there's no financial fraud. Defense ETFs help spread risk by investing in different companies in the sector.
While defense stocks and ETFs are smart choices, don’t forget about the historical role of gold during uncertain times. Its value tends to rise as a hedge against geopolitical risks. How about allocating a portion of the prtfolio to gold?
As I near retirement, I value gold for its consistent store of value. In addition to conventional assets, my fin advsr, Glen Howard Chester, investigates alternative investments such as digital assets, as he would say. Despite initial doubts, I entered the crypto mrket at the $30,000 support level before various developments, resulting in a 250% increase from my initial $100,000 invstment. It is worth considering altcoins for further diversification.
Interesting suggestion, what are the risks involved in incorporating crypto into ones prtfolio?

They were facing demographic collapse already, before putting more of their breeding age men in a deadly situation.
they still have women, that's all that's needed. Russia will become an "Alpha Male" paradise after a few more years.
Their losses here are a drop in the bucket on the scale of their population. They have over 20 million men of military age. Their losses so far could collapse their military, but it's not going to lead to demographic collapse. They would need to lose millions of soldiers for that to be a concern.
The thing hardly anyone seems to point out is: taking cities when lines are stretched too thin is nearly impossible. Russia may be nearing this within the next few weeks to months
Are you in the military?
Yes. They have been for the last 2 years.
Trying to keep the cities will be their downfall.

They have been losing 1,200 a day for the last 6 months. Hasn't stopped them yet. They have lots more minorities and prisoners.
All very interesting, but you have also missed specifying one VERY important failing with the Russian forces: Most modern Western troops are well-trained to operate pretty autonomously i.e. they're given the mission details but a lot of the decisions made on the ground are made by the units themselves in real time. This makes them highly effective and able to adapt to changing circumstances as they arise. Russian forces, however, have a culture of NOT being trained or operated this way, but instead having more senior offices 'micro-managing' them... telling them where to go, what to shoot at etc. at almost every stage and level ! Often this means that the units just don't know what they should be doing... waiting around.... being massively inefficient. All while waiting to be told what to do. Of course this renders them vulnerable to the alternatively trained and experienced forces e.g. of Ukraine: This is, I understand the major issue that western armies had to 'train out' of the Ukrainian troops when they first started helping them out after Crimea was illegally annexed in 2014. Why ? Well before that they'd been used to Russian military culture up until we started helping them train in the last 10+ years. The results have been spectacularly good for the Ukrainians, but disastrous for the Russians. One additional result/impact has been the high number of senior Russian officers that have been picked off by the Ukrainians whenever they get identified close to the front.... which feeds into the general vicious circle of Russian ineptitude... and casualties.
exactly this
and all that they still the biggest land and weapons dealers of all
The US is and always will be by far.
The entire russian Military should revolt & just stop fighting. They're losing so many young men! Just quit & go home.
The hierarchy of the military is so sharp that there are no capable leaders on the front lines, so nobody to say ‘okay men, let’s go’. As individuals, they have had an autocratic government for a long time, they don’t have that kind of independent thinking. The ‘meatgrinder’ only works when you have both of those conditions in place.

I think there was too much focus on manpower. Russia can keep mobilizing men for years. The real problem is that the old stocks of soviet era tanks.

They also buy some electronic components from China, which they don´t produce themselves and are vital in their rockets and planes. But that is not enough, compared to the western military aid to Ukraine. The stocks of old equipments from the soviet era is running out. If I was a russian soldier I would be alarmed to se antique tanks arrive at the front, in some cases produced already when Stalin was still alive! (he died in 1953). Estimations from Oryx, who has monitored the bases where old equipment is stored, suggest that with present tempo there are no old tanks and APCs left at all in 24 months, maybe even in 18 months, since much of this old crap stored outside, without shelter, not even the simplest kind of roof, probably is beyond repair. Oryx uses satellite photos. There are some new production of T-90 tanks, but since the tank factories in Omsk and Niznyj Tagil have been heavely underfinanced since the fall of the Soviet Union 1991, and the present factories consequently are mere shadows of what they were in the 1980-ies, it´s not probable they can produce more than four a day. Inte the best case. Compare that with the production of T-34 at the end of WWII, when USSR made 2000 a month! Russias only hope is that Trump win the presidential election and stop all military aid to Ukraine. USSR was an industrial superpower, in todays Russia large parts of the heavy machinery industry is scrapped, and the country has instead prioritized oil- and gasproduction.

Ukraine will only receive MORE support should Russia achieve any kind of further advancement in the war as a form of righteous retaliation, they are doomed.
Of course, we believe. With so fact check... wait, what fact check?🤣
Morale is nothing that can be ordered. No amount of punishment will change that.
Militarily Russia and China are similar. Both militaries have massive corruption at the top, siphoning money for the military into the pockets of its leaders. Both have inferior equipment; Russia has ancient equipment with some new equipment; China has poorly engineered equipment that has not been field tested. In the Korean War, China used the meat grinder technique. The only war they fought since then was with Vietnam where they got their butt kicked. Russia has more experience, but they don't seem to learn and adapt from their mistakes. Demographically, both Russia and China are doomed. Their populations are aging and not being replaced. It is estimated in ten years that China will lose about 400 to 600 million people. Russia faces a similar prospect. Both countries could break up into several smaller countries by that time.
this is absolutely delusional!
Putin is the modern day equivalent of General Haig in terms of strategy. But Haig had a huge coalition. Putin is doomed.
Good leaders have allies and trade agreements, friends they can TRUST, countries they can depend on.
Good leaders are not hiding in their bunkers worrying about their neighbors encroachment or attacking their neighbors to steal their territory.
Putin also has a coalition, which includes Iran, North Korea, China (which is playing coy, but is a likely mastermind behind the whole thing and also the largest supplier of the materiel).
More importantly, these allies are actually committed to the cause while the Ukrainian allies don't really want "their side" to win (or so it seems). Most allies push Ukraine towards a negotiated settlement at the expense of giving up its occupied territories (and then some). The only thing that stops it from being actually implemented is the unwillingness of Russian regime to do so. Kremlin wants the whole Ukraine, and then the rest of Eastern Europe, and they believe that it's totally achievable for them, given enough time.
The regional recruitment issue serves some purposes beyond simple racial prejudice. Drawing from poorer regions also makes it cheaper to attract the recruits. He is avoiding losses among his imperial core where it would matter more politically and economically. And possibly the best benefit to him is that he is drawing down fighting age/fitness male population from the areas he might have to worry about rising up against him if things keep going poorly. As evil dictator moves go it is quite the good one.
@@Ifyoucanreadthisgooglebroke nah there were better dictators this recruitment of minorities is sadly not new
Any country doesn’t care about lives when it comes to winning a war. Training IS the most importance to winning. Better trained solders not only win wars and survival of one’s solders. Troops don’t fight for their country they fight for their fellow brother of war. They fight to survive and use their training to bring each others home. That’s why I believe in being thankful and they deserve more from their country. I thank every solder I come across. They get my respect.
Putin can keep going for a while still. However,.. morale will not improve going forward. Quality of soldiers will not improve going forward. Equipment and supplies will not improve going forward. On the Ukrainian side, morale will not deteriorate significantly provided the West keep supply up and restrictions on targets are lifted. Quality of soldiers will hold a higher standard as a result of superior morale and improved supplies. To sum up, the key is more and better supplies, and not forcing Ukrainian Generals to fight with one hand tied behind their back. Slava Ukraini!
SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦
Прям Слава КПСС ёпта.🤣
@@Avatar555555Shut up Russia, Putin don't even want to stop invading
It is a wrong narrative - Russia is loosing so badly that it is breaking up to a cluster of distraught smaller nations.
I've already explained to somebody that Ukraine has already won the war.
