No, they’ve been saying it for coming on to 3 years now. Also running out if tanks, weapons, ammo, money, <fill in the gap with whatever you want >.

Putin lies about a "special operation" instead of a war and does not declare a general mobilization.

At the same time borders are open for leaving.

Off to Phuket and enjoy the sun.

 

Battle of Berlin 1945:

Russia 2.5 million soldiers, 6250 tanks, 7000 planes.

 

Just to give an idea about the proportions.

There's a lot of that about at the moment. A certain attack on a sovereign nation elsewhere going on without an declaration of war, but that's not by Russia so I guess that your opinion on such doesn't apply there.

Just as well that the Soviets were fighting Germany then, as had all those German troops been available in western Europe what chances do you give the Americans/ British of succeeding? IMO they'd never have got off the beaches.

South Korean soldiers were apparently formidable in Vietnam, and I expect no less of those from the north.

I suspect it's more about Kim wanting to blood his soldiers than making up for a shortage of Russians.

[Gweiloman]

Good thing that Ukrainian men of fighting age is queuing up to enlist

That's point of blooding troops never been in conflict. Did you not know that?

I suspect he's going to build up his army for a conflict with South Korea, and blooding them is invaluable to develop a fighting force. The South Koreans, on the other hand, haven't been in a real war since Vietnam.

Likely that any without a wife or kids will try to surrender / defect at the first opportunity. Only those with loved ones left behind would want to go back.

Ukraine has the capability to make its own ' dirty bomb '  Not quite the same but nasty anyway.

Ukraine have sufficient materials in country to make their own. 

 

If they cannot get Nato support and backing then their options are limited.

This may well push the EU into having Ukraine join Nato faster,  as they have been just dilly dally around this subject for years and good on Zelensky for pushing them. 

 

Or if the EU likes,   Ukraine might as well just pack up and leave and let Russia have all of Ukraine ...  then what do you think Russia will do after taking Ukraine ! ......    he'll go after more ground of course  !!

[Denim]

One thing is for sure and that is many of the Russian regions are sick of spilling their blood for Putin and Russia.

I imagine a few will be turning up in South Korea alive though.

The leaflets should have already been printed and loaded in the drones. "Desert, come over, and start a new life with your rich cousins".

In your earlier post, it was Ukraine will seek nuclear weapons, now you think Ukraine will make their own. Spinning, spinning, spinning. Ukraine is losing and will lose. Get used to it.
