Which is likely what Russia will have to do with Ukraine eventually. And America did those 20 years with something around 600k less casualties and many thousands less individual large expense equipment losses.

Yes. There’s a lot of speculation as to why he resigned now.

Some say that is because he and the Prime Minister did not get along. But both deny this. It is also said that the Prime Minister gladly took all the credit for the Foreign Minister's work in getting Sweden into NATO. It is also said that he chose to resign because he was overrun by other parties in matters concerning Sweden's relationship with Israel. For example, Sweden's decision to pause support for UNRWA. Primarily by the Sweden Democrats, who are not even in the government. But the decision to pause support for UNRWA was made several months ago, and support for UNRWA has also started again a couple of months ago. So I don't know if this is the trigger for his departure. There are probably several factors at play. For example, the fact that the two other small parties in the government as well as the Sweden Democrats (who are not even in the government) interferes too much in his work. He may feel that he gets no respect, that he is constantly being run over and that others lack confidence in him.

But yes, it is remarkable that he is resigning after only two years in the post. And that he announces this just a few days before the Riksdag opens so that the government has very little time to find a replacement. Maybe this is his way of giving back, of getting revenge. They pooped on him, but now he gets the last word and poops on them before he leaves. lol

I never really liked him. I have found him to be a stealth racist and overly pro-Israel. But if it is true that he is resigning because he thinks that the Sweden Democrats (the Zionist lobby) are interfering too much in his work, then I will probably have to reevaluate my view of Tobias a little bit. He earns respect. Although in such cases I would have preferred if he had chosen to stay and use his power to annoy and screw the Zionists as much as possible.

Ukraine can't hold out 5 years, let alone 20. Ukraine is right on Russia's border, and Russia is able to commit far more resources than we could to Afghanistan clear on the other side of the planet.

Not to mention that Russia is a lot more violent and ruthless than we are. Russians don't have hippies to deal with.

Remember how when the US was caught waterboarding Iraqi prisoners and forcing them to participate in humiliating photos, it was a major international incident that was widely known, made the news for months on end, and seriously marred the US' public image?

Meanwhile, Russia just straight up murders people and no one cares. In fact, only political junkies like us are likely to learn it at all, and we certainly won't be talking about it in a week's time.

The West has forgotten how to wage war. The US could spend $3 trillion on its military every year, doesn't even matter. We will never win another one as long as we continue to self-own ourselves with needless restrictions that destroy our ability to be *effective.*

Russia has very little reason to push them out of Russia at the moment, as the current situation is more advantageous. To get pushed out at the moment Ukraine would need to find some way of using that area to do some level of damage. But anything they move up into that area is just an easy target.

Russia isn't going for territory, but rather to degrade Ukraine forces first and then take land as a result.

From Russia, explains why they are in no hurry:

Ukraine has lost around 11,400 troops since it launched an incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region last month, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said on Monday.

The Russian military has also destroyed over 1,000 units of Ukrainian military hardware, including 89 tanks, 42 infantry fighting vehicles, 74 armored personnel carriers, 635 armored combat vehicles, 371 cars, 85 artillery pieces, and 24 multiple rocket launchers, seven of which were US-made HIMARS systems, the ministry said in a daily update.

In the course of the last 24 hours alone, Ukraine has lost up to 240 servicemen and 13 units of hardware, the ministry estimated.

During the past day, Russian ground forces, supported by artillery and aviation, have repelled three Ukrainian attacks near the settlements of Mikhailovka, Cherkasskaya Konopelka and Desyatoye Octyabrya, the statement read.

Kiev’s troops also tried to advance towards the villages of Malaya Loknya, Korenevo, Kremyanoye and Martynovka, but were pushed back, it added.

Never interrupt an enemy making a mistake would be the logic. 11k sounds like a lot. But 30 days and 75% being wounded gives what, 100 dead a day? 635 MATV/Humvee type vehicles seems a lot, but that too is only 20 a day.

In sum, there is a reason Kursk was lightly defended. Not a great area to attack into.

Apparently Rostov-on-Don, Voronezh, Yelets, the M4 highway, and pretty much anything south of Moscow are also not "great areas to attack," given how easily a certain mercenary group was able to advance through them recently.

Honestly, it just seems like most of Russia in general is not considered a great area to attack. I guess there is value in being valueless :)

To be fair, we gave it a good shot. Breaking Russia is by far the easiest way to contain China. Worth a go. But to get all prissy when it does not work out is just poor sportsmanship. It was a gamble, it could have worked. It did not.

Same goes for Russia really. It tried to bully Ukraine into concessions during a quick war. It could have worked. Ukraine opted for a long war (which it always could given Ukraine having strategic depth) instead. Russia gambled and it did not pay off. Its only move is to keep on raising the stakes until Ukraine eventually folds. The concession gambit would have been great for Russia. Aw well, win some, lose some.

And Russia is down a statistically significant percentage of its young adult male population to death, wounds, and the type of spicy nostalgia that prevents you from being a productive member of society, cementing what was already going to be a brutal demographic drop-off that could well result in the terminal decline of the country as even a regional power.

All so that Putin could draw maps of Russia owning Donetsk and Luhansk.

It really is worth re-emphasizing how significant Russia's demographic problems are

http://com...Pyramid.svg#mw-jump-to-license

Russia's prime military-age male population now consists of that generation of people born in the post-Soviet era. It's *half* of the population that was born in the years preceding the collapse of the union.

This is the generation that's increasingly going to feel the full strain of supporting an aging population that *significantly* outnumbers them. This is the group that could least afford additional losses due to excess deaths or out-migration.

So what does Putin do? He funnels them into the meat-grinder that is the Ukrainian war.

This is going to be Putin (and Yeltin's) ultimate failure by the way.

In order to be a irredentist ruler, you need to have both the population and economy to sustain your expansionist aims.

Putin took care of the latter by turning Russia into a massive petrostate. He never sufficiently addressed the population angle though. Dude should have gone full natalist from Day 1 in office, offering people the moon if only they would have children.

Instead, alcoholism and brain drain is the story of post-communist Russia. He may yet enjoy the ruins of eastern Ukraine, but long term Russia is fucked. Enjoy Chinese Siberia, NATO entrenched in Eastern Europe, and a population base facing a massive demographic cliff.

My guess is that Putin thinks that all of those problems will only become acute after his death, so he doesn't care as long as he gets to say during his lifetime that he restored Soviet rule over the Russified portions of Ukraine. And good for him. But bad for Russia.

”And yeah, Ukraine is kind of fucked population-wise too.”


No they are not. When they have joined the EU, Brussels will transfer hundred of thousands, up to a million or more immigrants to re-populate Ukraine. Ukraine needs men and Italy, Greece, Germany and France etc will be happy to let their north African and Middle-Eastern immigrants move to Ukraine where they can get a job. The immigrants will also be happy to marry an Ukrainian woman and have children, I think. But many immigrants are gay – they fled from their home countries because they can not have gay sex there legally. Anyhow, those who are gay will prefer to marry an Ukrainian boy. Which they will be able to do once Ukraine is a member of the EU because in the EU we share democratic values and respect HBTQ-laws, human rights and multiculture etc. Ukraine will be a modern Western liberal democracy. So its a win for everyone.

Russia's demographic outlook is better than it was before the conflict. Significantly better. Mediazona and the BBC have done an excess death study for Russia given that it was only able to document 62k killed so far. Excess deaths military aged men (18-55) clock in at 110k. Median age is 38. 40% of identified deaths are felons incidentally. You are simply making the wrong argument.

One thing Russia is doing is easing criteria for emigration from the West and is pushing an anti woke message. Tired of your children growing up in a metoo environment? Move to Russia! Perhaps something some of you should consider if the elections do not go your way.

I think I know the grand strategy with kursk now.

Ukraine planned to use its internal defence line (meaning shorter lines of communications than Russia) and superior IRS to:

Push into Kursk (check)
Force Russia to move troops from donbas (x)
Use available forces to hold line in donbas (x)
Close enclave isolate by river (x)
Move in regular formations to lock Russia (check)
Withdraw maneuver formations (partial check)
Use maneuver formations to push in donbas (...)

With the added bonus of massacring trucks heading in to kursk with massed Himars and other MRSLs. Problem is Russia did not rotate troops out of donbas and line did not hold in donbas. Making it unlikely a quick rotation into donbas can do anything other than stabilize the frontline.

Above is based on Russia pushing out of a pocket isolated by the seym river. You know, the once Ukraine has been playing whackamole with himars versus pontoon bridges. Seems like Russia used amphibious capability to surge the pocket, then break out on a wide front including a separate solid push from the North skirting the river.

If map lines are true, then the kursk incursion has lost the last of its potential. hence the autopsy above.

I realize that a significant number of Americans cannot read above grade 5 levels, so lets recap:

jergul: Ukraine had a decent plan.
Sammy: waah Russian propaganda.

The logic to attacking into Kursk was based on Russia poorly rotating many troops into the area and for Ukraine to use massed Himars type missiles to decimate the reenforcements from Donbas and keep the river Seym blocked. After that, push for space, eliminate the Russian pocket south of the Seym, then rotate out maneuver brigades to take advantage of a weakened front in Donbas to make advances and firmly stabilize the frontline.

It was not a bad plan given the hand Ukraine had to play with. The explanation covers oddities we have seen.

It did not work. Russia snuck elements of a marine brigade across the Seym and used that as southern pincer pushing east south of the river snog with elements of a para brigade forming the northern pincer pushing south, then east north of the same river. They were facing the 103 territorial brigade after pushing aside some ukrainian mechanized forces, so it was easy overmatch using operational suprise gained by surging marines across a river and into a forested pocket.

Not really hard to understand frankly.

Ukraines western front in Kursk has collapsed. Ukrainian troops are encircled. In the eastern Kursk front, Ukrainians are panicking and has started to run away.

Man, those FAP’s (18:25—19:05) must be devastating for Ukraine.

Oh you are so clever! But you see this is actually healthy, to actually stand a chance to win a war, you neeed the will and the means. If you want to see what happens when people only have the will and no the means, see Hamas, vice versa see Afghanistan.

The unraveling of your "thought" processes is, interesting let's say. The retarded things that people like you utter. People who have been listening to Dave Smith and John Mearsheimer.

There is this little know fact about Mearsheimer who all the morons like the cite. Back in the 90's he wrote an essay arguing against the de-nuclearization of Ukraine, saying that the only credible deterrent against a Russian attempt to reconsquer Ukraine is nuclear weapons. LOL :)

http://www...krainian-Nuclear-Deterrent.pdf

He basically makes the case that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is inevitable. Whatever made Measheimer change his mind from that to waaaa it's the west's fault, is between him and the Russian handlers.

Well, Zelenskyj has a Victory Plan. The plan is to join Nato and when Ukraine has joined Nato then Russia will stop its attacks and withdraw all its people from Ukraine and surrender. Zelensky/Nato can then arrest Putin and then Russia will pay reperations. A pretty solid plan.

Poland has come out and said that the reason why Russia hasn’t used nukes yet is because they will be condemned if they do:



Polish President Andrzej Duda said on Wednesday that the global community would not forgive Russia should it be the first to employ nuclear weapons, in response to the Russian President Vladimir Putin's warning of nuclear retaliation in the event of a significant assault on Russia.

"If we analyse the situation rationally and without fear, we must express this clearly: Putin has been repeating the contents of the Russian nuclear doctrine for many years," said Duda. "And both Vladimir Putin and his military leaders are fully aware that whoever utilises a nuclear weapon first will be condemned. This awareness is the reason they have not yet resorted to such measures."

The least thing Russia wants is to receive condemnations.

I think the reason they have not used them is because they know there is a real risk many of their nukes not longer work. That would be terrible for their deterrence.

They won't use them because all their neighbors would be forced arm themselves with nukes if they do.

I think they have not used them because there has been no need to use them yet. The Russian shovels are sufficiently good.

If they use them they become global pariahs, admit to the world and their people that their conventional military couldn't defeat Ukraine and risk retaliation from western Europe and possibly the united states.

They gain nothing from using nukes. It's better to keep at a protracted war until Ukraine and Russia can come to a truce.

Never mind the many things that do not matter because Ukraine has strategic depth.

Russia is up to 5000 guided aerial bombs a month. I think it is time to save what can be saved. No amount of heroism can change that and costs inflicted on Russia are shifting to live fire training.

How gud do you really want it to git?
