Russian invasion of Ukraine

[YUPPIE]

Headlines are raging about how Putin can say he hasn't lost anything in this war.

He hasn't, really.

- People's lives mean nothing to him, so he couldn't care less about how many of his soldiers and generals die out there. That's mainly what people cite as his big loss. As we see in-state, he's also STILL regularly killing his own citizens and cronies, so even in terms of pragmatism he doesn't feel like he's losing out on his population to murder with such impunity/regularly. Not to mention the fact he's recently kidnapped untold amounts of Ukraine children/lost people to brainwash them into becoming Russians.

- Logistics in military equipment and tech? Besides the fact he has nukes as a last resort to prevent anyone from ever cornering him for real, have any of you paid attention to how much Putin is bolstering his alliances with Iran and China lately? They both finance his war machine, the former even selling him drones recently. He's also confident as fuck his leverage over the EU with gas cutoff is going to pay off in Winter. With the way Germany is going, they will probably cave when the worst comes to pass - despite all the bluster. Even India said they're going all in on supporting Russia.

- Putin has an untold amount of wealth we still don't even know the full scope of. He's infected every nation in the world with prospects of money and affluence, even in the US, to sow anarchy.

Did he also lose any nukes ? (sorry i couldnt resist)

I talked to some guy yesterday (yes russan) in online game and he said he is ready to leave this country. So Putin will have a huge brain drain in future and older population that will not have any social support.
I can see that in future they will use politics to invite younger generation to live in russa (maybe give them a free pass from crimes and other stuff)
But as it stands right now, they will go maybe 2-3 generations of tech behind for sure due to trade and no special items needed to build high tech stuff.
There is a good chance we will see revolution happening in next 10 years when people will get more and more oppresed. This mean that Us will send weapons there to fight infidels and other non-sense.

He's been against the "Special military operation." since the start, he uses his words carefully though as to not get himself or his family a case of special tea with a 6th-story window view.

Well he is more of a russan apologist for crimes against humanity. Talks a lot and does nothing. He is heavly self-cenzoring himself and you can see that.

One of the russan traveling youtubers that left that country a while ago has a totaly different tone and he shits on his country a lot.

Its quite easy to spot a difference.

Those are all probabilities for when Putin dies, though. He doesn’t think he will die for 30 more years at least.

I mean if they were willing to get people in to balance their demographics, much of central Asia is looking for a job and would grab the opportunity. But I very much doubt the Russians would accept such immigration.

Ok..so, following the offensive in the Kharkiv region...the Ukrainians are literally overrunning the russian positions aren't they? Latest I see is them being in Kapitolovka and Oskil:

Oh, and they reportedly captured a russian arsenal in Balakliia:

Paraphrasing the Finns during the Winter War? "We are only a small country, where will we bury all the Soviet soldiers?" (small is relative, I feel Finland is huge, but I'm Dutch and that country is 11 times smaller than Finland)

I still remember the Ukrainian babushka handing out (I believe) sunflower or daisy seed to the invaders when this all started.
Keep them in your pocket, when they bury you, you'll grow us beautiful flowers.

Keep fluffing Putin, he has lost everything with this.

the thing is: Why is he so smug and unflappable now, then? Dictators usually fall apart at the seam when they fall into the self-titled trap, but this guy thinks he will still absolutely come out on top.

Putin said Russia lost nothing. Even the most hardcore vatniks probably would feel uneasy with that statement.

All in all it's a ridiculous statement full of copium and damage control mode. Can Russia mitigate and survive all the sanctions and limitation - it can, it's a huge country that can't be ignored or truly isolated, rich in resources and it has a history of coping with worse. But the costs are severe and it will take Russia many years to adjust and compensate - if it will even be able to.

And it is very likely that in order to get themselves out of the hole they will have to do same thing they did in Afghanistan in 80s, cut their losses and call it quits. Contrary to what some think - Russia can't really afford unchecked loss of life and there is only so much Putin can force people to swallow, before he gets his ass on fire.

The "credit" people give him will eventually run on empty and so called "special operation" will overstay its popular welcome sooner or later, especially if bodies keep piling up.

Putin said Russia lost nothing.

No I know what I wrote. I just wouldn’t put it past Putin to think he is Russia itself and all that holds it together when he said that.

He isn't. Otherwise he wouldn't be killing or firing his generals that keep losing battles in Ukraine.

Ukranian forces expecting to recapture Liman tomorrow. Russian lines are well and truly broken by this advance. Reports coming in that the Ukranian forces cannot recapture ground fast enough to keep up with the speed of the Russian retreat.

Russia reportedly pulled troops out of Lyman to defend Izyum so Ukraine said fine, we'll take that too so we can encircle Izyum from the north and south.

There are meant to be around 10000 Russians in Izyum but almost all are rear echelon support troops with very little combat ability.
