Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[N35t0r]

No I haven't. Ukraine was holding its own generally, until the Kursk offensive. That is what's ****ed them in the Donbas.

That doesn't line up with reality. Russian casualties (both in terms of men and in terms of materiel) have been rising steadily in terms of losses per captured km², so it's far more likely that the increased gains come at the expense of extra losses. Both this trend and Russian advances in the east started before the Kursk offensive, and there hasn't been a marked inflection point around that date, so the facts don't match your claims.

So if they carry on with dumbass tactics, yes they certainly risk a collapse in the relatively near future. Their army knows they're ****ing up, hence the increasing numbers of desertions - you don't want that to turn into a flood...

Do you have any actual data on Ukrainian desertions being up, and that being due to the Kursk offensive?

When you tell girls you've got 6 inches, do you actually mean you've only got 3 inches instead...!? 🤣🤣🤣

I don't, because first, that's crass. Second, it doesn't matter the size of your tool, but how you use it. And third, I'm not any sort of troglodyte still stuck using an antiquated measurement system.

Right. Which is why you've been predicting the imminent collapse of Ukrainian lines for almost a year already, are parroting Putin's talking points, and seem to believe that nobody in Russia has any agency whatsoever.

Oh, and half of what you say about Ukraine doesn't match with what actual Ukrainian refugees I've met say (including a couple who have become very close friends of ours).

That was only 6 months ago.

I think it's cuz them Ukrainians found out about this whole brother people scam.

I'm shocked by how anti-Russian my Ukrainian friends have become. Not only did they originally seem fine with Russia but I would never have thought them capable of such hostility in general. it's been painful to witness.

You're... shocked?

You saw the US' reaction to 9/11 and the hatred towards Arabs and Muslims in general that brought, and are shocked that something that has been essentially that for over three years, plus torture and execution of POWs, plus actual parts of Ukraine being occupied since before that has resulted in a similar reaction?

[Uncle Sparky]

While I haven't seen any polling, I suspect currently very few citizens of Gaza see Israel as an 'excellent friend'.
I would also guess that far fewer Canadians currently see the US as a 'trusted ally' compared to six months ago.

Unbelievable what constant bombardment can do to people.

It happens to all sorts of people, this falling through a rabbit hole of propaganda, eh?

Yes, you certainly have with the TDS stuff.

I would say that the opposite is true, given that I use neutral commentators for my information, and 'respectable' sites like ISW, because the maps don't lie...

Remember we were consistently and systematically lied to about Iraq, so why don't you think you're being lied to about what's happening in Ukraine...?

Those of us who were against the US invasion of Iraq after 9/11 immediately saw through the BS, while the majority of people on this forum were sucked in by the lies like a bunch of mind controlled sheep!

Some of you in this very thread, I might add... 🙄🤦

He seems to have gone down a weird rabbit hole on a Russian propaganda website.

Did Serb hack Moby's account?

[giblets]

MOBIUS must be falling on hard times if he's being paid by Putin to forum troll.

[MOBIUS]

Who says?

I would argue they were generally holding their own until the dumbass Kursk offensive.🤷

Yes, they've been fighting with one arm tied behind their back all this time. 🙄

I listed it as one of my reasons to justify my conspiracy theory that Zelenskyy is a Russian agent 🤣🤣🤣
