    Those are the begining shipment, my not so well informed friend. They are to train on while the others get gathered up. I am sorry you are coping so hard but, no, 16 is not all that will be shipped.

    LOL! Given how they are in Poland I find that doubtful. Putin's propaganda is so laughable.

    Hard numbers are hard to find for both sides, but the consensus seems to be that Ukrainian casualties are something less than half the Russians. The difference is that all the Ukrainians want to fight, and none of the Russians do.
    Vlad is running out of men, ammunition and armored vehicles.

    Consensus of who ? .. you haven't managed to produce one source supporting your claim .. never mind a "concensus" nor would one be possible given " numbers are hard to find" Nothing like shooting your own foot in the same post

    Much easier to find for the Russian side as reported by the Western media - what does that tell you ? all kinds of reporting on "This many Russian's killed in such and such battle" Funny how they can find figures for Russia but not for Ukraine .. aye maytee :)

    Never claimed otherwise .. seems you are both uniformed and have a propensity make false accusations --- aka Strawman fallacy, because you can't deal with reality .. so got to make things up.

    Now given this hopeless behavoir who is the one having trouble coping ? with the fact that the battle is lost .. Russia will be keeping Crimea and Donbass region .. and feeding a generation of young Ukrainian boys into the meat grinder will not change this fact .. nor the fact that you are a cheerleader for the meatgrinder .. feed those teenage boys into the trenches rah rah cis boom bah :cheerleader::cheerleader: where life expectancy is hours .. seems a sad choice for one who has actually seen combat .. but then again .. many vets not seen much more than a desk and so having trouble coping :chainsaw::censored::eekeyes::cynic:

    We know that Zoomie .. there is a war going on .. people die .. and while you wish to "Wank" over all this death .. and cheerlead these teenage Ukrainian lads into the meatgrinder .. with glee.. The battle is already lost - your beloved Vlad will be keeping Crimea and the Donbass -- continuing to feed these green teens into the death machine not going to change that one iota ..

    Ummm....gifty....the "battle" for Mafiosi going forward is Western sanctions for the next 3 decades, and/or being China's bi*** for the next 50 yrs., it's a stark choice for Vladdie, neither scenario is good....choices will need to be made as to what the "lesser evil" is here.

    Donbas and Crim will sort itself out....the insurgency/guerilla war will take care of that, and should be the least of Dwarfstans concerns at the moment. Considering the Chinos have secretly laid claim to much of the Far East and RFs future is on awfully shaky ground at the moment....:).

    If it is a war of attrition Russia has better numbers.

    Not when they're losing 7 to 1, as they're doing in Bakhmut.

    The city is horseshoed rather than surrounded and rasputitsa is aiding the Ukrainians at the moment.

    So, cheerlead them all you like, they're losing but good.

    Not really. It's not really a war of attrition because Ukrainian tactics are not nearly so wasteful as those on the Russian side. Moreover, it's the Russians who are having trouble filling out their units. Ukrainians still have a backlog of volunteers waiting their turn to be inducted.

    This is true. That is why Biden needs to get his head out of his keyster and give Ukraine everything it needs so they can end the war quickly.

    If by some chance the Russians end up in possession of Bakhmut, the words of French Marshal Villars after Malplaquet (1714) would be appropriate for the Ukrainians to remember. "If God grants us the grace to lose such a battle again, Your Majesty can count on all of his enemies being destroyed."

    Hard to make sense out of this befuddled irrationality Zoomer "Western Sanctions for next 3 decades" ? Nobody with sensible understanding of the board would claim to be able to make such a prediction at all .. never mind do it with any certainty .. so is just pure fantasy .. but one that is highly unlikely given any sensible assessment of the board -- but thanks for sharing.

    . upload_2023-3-5_12-31-6.png
    On another note .. was learning about how those Azov Nazi's would train the young ones --- train them to hate and dehumanize their fellow slavs .. making it easier to persecute and kill their fellow citizens for speaking a slightly different language. Many deaths and acts of terror over the years .. carried out in the name of their Nazi Hero .. name escapes me at the moment .. who is that hero Zoomer ?

    Marginalize these poor Russian Speaking Ukrainians ... trample on them .. train the children to dehumanize these people calling them "Orcs" in typical Nazi brainwashing fashion.

    I have heard a few posters use this perjorative .. none so often as you though Zoomie .. where did you pick up this terminology from ...could it be ???
