Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[I AM MOBIUS]

5th year now

You guys clearly don't understand what a war of attrition is. Putin is in no hurry.

He probably reckons he's doing ok, considering he's fighting the entire might of NATO fighting to the last Ukrainian.

Repeating Kremlin's propaganda lines ad nauseum doesn't help Russia, Serb

[The Mad Monk]

Brezhnev’s great-grandson joined Russia’s ‘special military operation’ to ‘see Nazis.’ Now he’s a Ukrainian POW who says the Nazi threat is a myth.

The adopted great-grandson of Soviet General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, Anton Milaev, took part in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and was taken prisoner in the spring of 2026. On July 6, the “Khochu Zhit” (“I Want to Live”) project — which Ukrainian authorities use to encourage Russian soldiers to surrender — published an interview with him.

Milaev, 45, is the biological grandson of Soviet circus performer Yevgeny Milaev, who was the first husband of Galina Brezhneva, the Soviet general secretary’s daughter. The Telegram channel Baza, which has ties to Russia’s security services, had reported as early as June 18 that Milaev had been taken prisoner; it also claimed, citing his mother, that Galina Brezhneva had raised her grandson “like her own.” In his interview with “Khochu Zhit,” Milaev said he had long “run away” from his family connection to the Soviet general secretary and had always preferred “to be an ordinary person.”

Milaev said he spent 19 years in the United States starting in the 1990s, working numerous low-skilled jobs before returning to Russia in the mid-2010s because he had “gotten tired of living there [in the U.S.] and working for the Masons.” He also spoke positively about the Soviet Union, saying that in Soviet times “there was a country, and now there’s chaos.”

In recent years, Milaev had been living in Moscow and working as a truck driver. He went to war in 2025 for the money — he needed to pay off a debt of one million rubles. He signed his contract in Kostroma and received a payment of 1.4 million rubles. He said he had planned to work as a driver at the front as well, but ended up in an assault unit.

Milaev had no prior military background. His training at a unit in the occupied Luhansk region lasted only three weeks, and he was taken prisoner after roughly two months at the front.

He said he had previously “wanted to see Nazis” in Ukraine and learned the stories about them were false only after he reached the front. “I think that to change your mind about this war, everyone needs to be here,” he said.

Leonid Brezhnev was a native of Dnipropetrovsk (now Dnipro). He served throughout World War II, beginning it with the rank of reserve regimental commissar and ending it as a major general. Serving as a political officer, the future Soviet general secretary took part in liberating many cities in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic from the Nazis — Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Lviv, Mukachevo, and Uzhhorod.

It's a pro-Ukraine account, you f*ckwit 🤪

[BeBMan]

I was talking about you, not some account, you pathetic POS.

[I AM MOBIUS]

No, you were talking about Serb, you literally said Serb. You German 😅

You're a whole country of f*ckwits - Ukraine f*cked your economy and yet you're still supporting them. 😁

Though, to be fair it was your stupid Green Party that got you in your mess in the first place. 🤷

Germany: the country where its Green Party wants to destroy thousand
year old villages so it can burn the lignite underneath! 🤪🤪🤪

Moby, Serb --- same asshattery

Also, Russia is winning, given that it is essentially fighting the combined alliance of NATO.

Still gaining ground, still attriting the **** out of Ukraine's armed forces, still dismantling the country piece by piece.

If Ukraine wants to hasten its own demise, it can keep pulling off the stunts which cause Russia to escalate its retaliation... 🙄

****ing sad really, being the US, Europe and NATO's plaything - you just get a ruined country at the end of the day, when they could have simply been neutral... 🤷🙄

That's a funny claim, given there's zero NATO soldiers in Ukraine, and zero NATO aircraft over Ukraine.

Russia is also gaining less territory year over year, to the point that since March, it is net losing land in Ukraine.

Your blaming Ukraine of Russia's attacks on civilians is outright disgusting, but par for the course for you.

If you believe all that, you're a ****ing lunatic who probably believed all the propaganda about Iraq in 2003 😅

And what the **** are you smoking with that last sentence...? 🙄

I literally don't recognise what you're talking about? 🤷

Do you understand why laughably tiny "tripwire" deployments of a few dozen troops are made to allied countries like the US and other NATO deployments to the Baltics? It's not because they will militarily make a difference. No. it's to underline the credibility of the allied response by literally deploying assets to the threatened ally. By the same token, deploying *any* amount of NATO troops to Ukraine would carry huge escalation implications in the reverse way. There is no way that NATO is deploying formations to Ukraine because there is nothing they could accomplish that would be worth the escalation that the deployment would accomplish. If NATO deploys to a vast conflict like the Ukraine war it will be open and transparent.

it strikes me as very odd and rather dissapointing that some people accuse mobius of getting money from putin. we know mobius for 20 odd years, and his political stances (to whom to a very large degree I also espouse, same with cockney or PH, and with some I 100% disagree) so to think that somehow he fell on hard times and had to put forth putin propaganda to buy a loaf of bread is a bit silly to be honest.

as for bebro the zen master of poly, the man that is an unmovable power of lol-ness even at the face of vast adversity and plenty of empty vodka bottles on the other side, to say that mobius is a POS ios such a break of character it is also sad and dissapointing. he could just say, hey i disagree

In case you didn't notice, Moby insults people all the time when he doesn't like what they post, esp. when they're not agreeing with him.

The tone he sets is the tone he gets.

As for his background, I don't know and don't care. If he posts stuff that is virtually identically to main Kremlin talking points it doesn't matter if he's dumb enough to believe it or if he's spreading it in on purpose.
