    youre absolutely right. There’s a lot of BS, but there’s also competition among sources to be sort of correct.

    Both sides are going to lie, but one side’s numbers are easier to verify.

    Ukrainians are fighting for their nation's freedom from pootinist oppression, while Russian soldiers are fighting under the orders of a criminal who is forcing them to kill their ethnic brothers. :(

    Who's is more motivated? What do you think?

    I know. That’s why the US lost in Afghanistan, but at least we can say we killed more of them then they did us.

    fewer than 3000 Americans died in 20 years. More Russians than that are already worm food

    Nope, for many reasons. First of all: US soldiers never fought for criminals who hate democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. :)

    the similarity is the Afghans fighting stubbornly against an invading force.

    Point is, the Russians are being humiliated and dying in an unfavorable ratio.

    Spoken like someone with no combat experience.

    The age of a weapon is irrelevant. All that matters is that it works and it functions the same whether it's 1 day old or 20 years old.

    The M16 and M1911 I had were Vietnam-era but they worked just fine 20 years later.

    The Nike-Hercules ADA system was 30 years old and worked fine.

    Good for you. The internet is full of propaganda, especially now.

    No, there's only competition for bait-click and ad revenues.

    If you feel a little pity for these creatures, it's good, because you're human!
    But remember your morning 24.02.2022 and all these 3 days. Remember for our soldiers, for the fact that our men are not with us now !!!!
    For the killed women, children, our soldiers !!! For the fact that yesterday we were alone and everyone had the idea that this is the end.
    About the sirens in your cities when this bastard flew and fired at everyone.
    Don't forget this people, only death to enemies !!!

    Afghans fought against the Taliban but unfortunately lose. No similarity between Comrade Pootin and his attack on Ukraine. :(

    If our news sources are writing that four Russians are dying for every Ukrainian one, then you can be assured that the ratio is four Ukrainians to every Russian.

    Let's hope that the Ukrainian dead are neo nazis like the National Guard, Right Sector, Azov, Aider, etc. although it's doubtful. In the meantime there are Russians in Lvov looking for Zalensky's bunker. Kind of reminds me of WWII.

    In the meantime guns were handed to the citizens of Kiev to shoot Russians and they're turning them on the shopkeepers and grabbing whatever they can.

    One thing's for sure, the world won't be the same after this. Also, I don't know how the American dollar can survive. The more Washington bullies with sanctions, the more nations bypass the America dollar by using their own currency.

    So deluded. So sadly deluded.

    Cry for your brothers, they're the ones that are dying. Maybe they should have stayed in Galicia, and not tried to grab the Russian lands.

    Your English is starting to slip there, comrade. I won't point out exactly where, though. Not going to help you, except by giving you another little dose of reality:

    Ukraine vows to punish Russia for war crimes in military tribunal after targeting of civilians
    From CNN's Mia Alberti and Olena Mankovska.

    Ukranian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has accused Russia of war crimes after targeting civilian targets and said Moscow will have to face a "military tribunal."

    During a Saturday news conference, Shmyhal said Russia shelled kindergartens, residential blocks and "buses with children."

    For these crimes, the Russian command will surely see military tribunal. The enemy will surely be punished for killing Ukrainian children. Ukraine will not forgive them for this," Shmyhal said.
    The prime minister said Russia was deliberately attacking civilian infrastructure because it is "failing" in its offensive.

    "The Russian government doesn't understand they are not fighting only with the government. In fact, they are fighting against the entire Ukranian people," he said.

    Russia said its forces are only targeting military installations and are not striking residential areas.

    After a Saturday government meeting, Shmyhal announced Ukraine is temporarily closing its borders with Belarus and Russia except for Ukranian citizens abroad, whom he urged to join the fight.

    "Please do come back and do prove you are on the side of the light. And I'm addressing all civilized countries: On whose side are you on?" Shmyhal asked. "Are you on the side of the killers of children, or are you on the side of the great European people who are defending their country and they're defending their freedom from the aggression?"​

    So true! The sword is thousands of years old but will kill someone as surely today as it would a thousand years ago.

    The mightiest sword of all is the will to fight and the determination to win, no matter the cost. This:

    [​IMG]

    This Putin and his demoralized army of young, inexperienced conscripts can never take from Ukraine.

    We might compare it to the American war for independence. Our ancestors were no doubt out-gunned by the British Empire's forces, but with the will to fight and the determination to win (and with a little help from our friends, such as France), no number of well-trained soldiers or high-tech weapons could defeat us.

    I am not a Putin fan nor do I think that Trump belonged one day in the Oval but, if this OP is true, I would be pleased but seriously surprised.

    Invaders, unless they have a massive power advantage will nearly always be at a disadvantage. In this case you have an almost demoralised group who don’t want to be there fighting a determined and pissed off people

    Even if the casualty rate was as you say it would probably not be enough to change the outcome. The Russian military has not performed as expected, and the resistance is much more intense than expected. How many reliable allies does Russia have left?
