Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

While this change did result in producing incremental gains, the cost was exorbitant. On Aug. 29, the BBC reported that new leaked reports suggested Ukrainian battle deaths exploded since the offensive started. Whereas Ukraine was reported to have lost 17,500 troops in the first year of the war, it is presently assessed to have lost a breathtakingly high 50,000 additional deaths, for a total of 70,000 dead and 120,000 wounded.

.. Unfortunate to continue this war. ...

Oh, I agree.

Wholeheartedly.

So... how do we get Pres Putin to stop his unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country?

yeah.

One thing, when I read the article, that I wondered...

Why did the oneironaut alias decide to post this article.

I mean it shows how the small, under-powered Ukraine has stood up to the super-power Russia, and is doing OK.

That seems to be quite foreign for the oneironaut alias, which has seemed to be a Russian cheerleader of late.

Could it be that the oneironaut alias had not a clue of what it posted?

Based upon prior posts of that alias, such an outcome would not surprise me.

Once mouthpieces of Koch funded, neocon 'think tanks' start saying the war is lost, only the dumbest of the dumb would advocate sending more money and weapons.

The Ukrainians are willing to fight for their country.

Everyone has doubts about you.

You MAGAs bitched when Obama withdrew from Iraq (which Bush negotiated).

You bitched when Biden withdrew from Afghanistan (which Trump negotiated).

But when the Ukrainians want to stay in a war for the oldest of reasons, to fight a foreign invader, you also bitch.

I'd say you were hypocrites if that had any chance in Hell of bothering you.

You can't read, or maybe comprehend, or perhaps you're a gaslighter ...

Its failing to stand up....


It is unclear at this point whether Ukraine has enough striking power remaining in its offensive forces to reach, much less penetrate, Russia's second main line"beyond which is a third main line followed by a fortress-defense at Tokmak, which is still 75 road kilometers from the Azov coast. Given these realities, the best Ukraine can likely do for the rest of the year is to hold what they have and prevent the possibility of losing more territory to a potential Russian counteroffensive this fall.

US should alter its policies.


The United States, however, would be wise to adjust its policies to reflect the reality of Ukraine's slim chances against Russia's fortified lines. Washington has spent nearly $113 billion over the course of this war, provided Ukraine with an astounding volume of modern arms and ammunition, and delivered an impressive array of training and intelligence support. After almost a year of preparation, it hardly dented the Russian lines.

If it was going well why change the policies?

Putin is waiting for NATO to get involved, he knows he can't commit everything with NATO in the wings.

Notice Poland is dropping out of supplying Ukraine, why? its a losing cause, best prepare.

I dunno about wet brains, but certainly smooth brains would be an appropriate description.
