Your infrastructure is destroyed, you are out of heat and power. Your airspace is closed. Winter is coming. Your allies in the west are getting tired of supporting you. You have already lost a large percentage of your fighting age males. Yeah. Sounds like a totally guaranteed win! [/quote] Riiiiight I’m sure this is all going according to plan for russia lol Russian casualties are massive. Their equipment is a joke. Their soldiers are ineffective. Their economy is tiny. The world for the most part is United against them. Soon the people of russia will rise up against putin. Putin will be dead soon. [/quote] :GOM-wishcrap7: Feckless shill? Dumbass flagwaver? Idiot NeoCon? No matter, West and US are on last legs. It is so fun watching it play out. Russia, with an eeconomy the size of Italy, is kicking ass. Russia has missles that West cannot defend against. Russia has manufacturing capacity to grind down NATO. [/quote] Their economy is much smaller but that's measured in US dollars. Russian weapon systems are much cheaper while being almost as effective, in some cases even surpassing their western equivalent. 5000$ drones are destroying equipment worth millions. Totally unsustainable. [/quote] Russia has only used one hypersonic missle, fired in March when it destroyed a NATO mercenary barracks in far Western Ukraine. The drones and cruise missles are destroying what NATO sends to their lackeys. Yes, it is unsustainable for NATO. BUT, they have painted themselves into a corner. [/quote]

Vladimir Putin is 'fighting for his life' and fears he could be killed if Russia suffers further heavy setbacks after the liberation of Kherson, a senior Ukrainian intelligence figure has claimed.
Oleksiy Arestovich, an adviser to Volodymyr Zelensky's chief of staff, said the shock capture of the Russian-held territory has dramatically raised fears in the Kremlin that Ukraine will win the war.
He said, according to The Times: '[Putin] is very afraid because there is no forgiveness in Russia for tsars who lose wars.
'He is fighting for his life now. If he loses the war, at least in the minds of the Russians, it means the end. The end of him as a political figure. And possibly in the physical sense.'
Kherson's huge importance to the Kremlin - both because of its link to Russian-annexed Crimea and Ukraine's Odessa port to the west - made it an embarrassing loss to Putin when he ordered his troops to retreat last week.
He added: 'This has forced even people who are very loyal to Putin to doubt that they can win this war.'
