A good post full of relevant talking points. Its quite clear that the Ukrainians have suffered unimaginable losses, many orders of magnitude higher than anything the Russians have suffered. My estimate of 155k dead is on the low side - it could be as high as 400k. For this Zelenski and Biden should go down as war criminals.Quite a profound statemt alongside Lavrov's at the UN, 'it'll be determined on the battlefield'. The Ukraine offensive has ground to a standstill and that's why there are calls for the building of 'defences, similar to the Russians' in an attempt to halt a Russian counter offensive.
The Ukrainian military are short on personnel and military equipment. They have been 'demilitarised' and can only 'keep going' with western supplied weapons.
Since the Russian military intervened directly into the Ukraine civil war, the westerm military 'experts' have spun the yarn that the Russian military are 'useless'. They've done that with the Russian casualty figures and destroyed weaponry. The latest being that the Russians have lost '250,000 soldiers and 750,000 injured, wounded or maimed'. The only semblance of accuracy for those figures are they are Ukraine losses. The Ukraine have done this right from the start when they've talked about losses on the battlefield, showing their own as Russian. You only have to see pictures of Ukraine graveyards to see the colossal scale of their losses. They are packed and new graveyards are required all the time. But the perceived military 'wisdom' is the Russians 'can't fight have low morale and are uselessly led'. Duly put forward by Ukraine propagandists fascist like Anton Gerashenko, who co-founded Myrotvorets which has a hit list of 'enemies of Ukraine' and includes people like Kissinger and hundreds of children. Who infamously said, 'collaborators are not protect by law and are being hunted down by our security services and being eliminated, shot like pigs'. That's the type of fascists some people love to quote. No doubt, UK institutes, which work closely with the UK government, will always do their paid duty and publicise the UK governments line, even if it is quoting Nazi's.
I suppose some will claim the Trudeau balloney excuse, 'I didn't know'. Of course some knew, seeing the government have prominent Canadians, of Ukraine heritage, in government. There's loads of monuments celebrating Ukraine WW2 'heroes' scattered around Canada. Even to Hunka's Waffen regiment. It's about time Canada denazified it's country.
I fully expect the Nazi Gerashchenko, to roundly condemn the celebration of Nazis in Canada and to produce pictures of Karydov"s state funeral and that of the Commander of Russia"s Black Sea Fleet.
However, propaganda may play a part in winning wars (debateable of course) but what happens on the battlefield is what counts on the end and the Ukraine military are shot to pieces. There only hope to survive as some sort of nation is to negotiate a peace deal. This is if the US Empire allows them to. A defeat for the IS Empire in Ukraine will propel the anti colonial, anti imperialist world wide moment forward, as it did in the 1970s after the Vietnam debacle and defeat. A semblance of this movement is the situation in Africa where French imperialism is being kicked out and there's pressure on the US to remove its hundreds of military bases.

Care to share how you arrived at 155k - 400k, given that just a couple of days ago, no one had a clue. What new information has come to light? And why does your analysis have a margin of error of quarter a million peopleA good post full of relevant talking points.

Two things……….I’m not running around in circles just so someone can then move the goalposts after I’ve answered, sorry.
I made my estimates earlier based on number of amputee soldiers which according to Ukrainian estimates is around 25k (likely under reported for obvious reasons)Care to share how you arrived at 155k - 400k, given that just a couple of days ago, no one had a clue.

Kev is deffo the runt of the Azul brothers.You’re desperately obsessed with how many dead Ukrainians Russians have killed and its weird to not blame the people killing them. Its actually really creepy and I hope you dont live next door to me.
more made up waffleI made my estimates earlier based on number of amputee soldiers which according to Ukrainian estimates is around 25k (likely under reported for obvious reasons)
You can see the post I made about it if you look.
Speaking as an outsider Kev, what are you’re thoughts on the human race?I made my estimates earlier based on number of amputee soldiers which according to Ukrainian estimates is around 25k (likely under reported for obvious reasons)

Ok so you’ve moved away from a negotiated settlement as a realistic possibility ?I don't think that; I'm answering you when you ask what Russia's Volodin sees as their terms.
