UK is a mess. Over run with foreigners. Keir is begging Trump for deals.

I very much doubt any British Prime-minister will need more from the US other than their already mutual working practices in major sectors.

Won't happen if you look at Ukraine's resilience with a bit of luck Trump will be out of power or one of those kids might get an accurate shot and save the world!!
To any Secret Service on here that was a flippant comment and not serious in any way, I am from the UK and we have very strict WOKE laws on Social media

Out of power? Ukraine is losing 7% of their land and 350k people per year. I'm glad you're willing to sacrifice 28% more of their land and 1.4M more soldiers to stick it to Putin. How tough do you feel on your couch right now General?

Here's what you Euro's don't get. The US doesn't need you at all. Russia could take over all of Europe and it wouldn't matter at all to the US.

The main problem with your statement is Russian people do not want to fight half of them are defecting to Phuket!
As for your estimation on deaths on the Ukrainian side please see below
I don't think Ukraine are doing too bad if you look at the stats and bad luck to anyone that lives in Phuket and has to put up with the Russian defectors.
Ukraine are a hundred times more committed to retaining their country than Russian citizens other than Putin want to take it from them, that makes more of a difference than Tanks, Planes, Bombs or Guns.
The only thing Russia are succeeding at is killing more Ukrainian civilians than Ukraine do Top Work!!!
Russia has lost around 90,000 to 140,000 soldiers with 500,000 to 700,000 wounded since the war's start.
Ukraine has suffered over 65,000 military deaths, 380,000 wounded, and around 12,500 civilian fatalities.

If as you always claim, Russia is winning, why would Russia agree to giving the US part of it?

They're winning but losing tons of men. They can drag this out but it's still a massive loss of Russian lives. You bloodthirsty Zelensky supporters don't understand this. For you on your comfy couch, it's 'Till The Last Ukrainian!

No, I'm sorry but you need to turn off Maddow and NPR. Both sides have lost 1M+ soldiers. Ukraine has lost 20% of it's land. You need to educate yourself before injecting your wrong opinions.

You know what? I think you lefties are right. I think Trump needs to prove he's not a Putin puppet. I think he should immediately drop all 6k nukes on Russia. Actually he should drop all of them directly on Putins house and make sure they kill his satantic spawn as well. Can't let his kids grow up, they might become more Putlers! There's no other choice comrades! We must demand Trump nuke Russia immediately. If it ends the world, that's OK WE WILL BE HEROES! WE STOPPED PUTLER!!!

Condoning what? I think it's bad Russia invaded. I think the US should stay out of it, that's all. There's no winning solution for Ukraine. I think Europe should be ponying up far more money if they're so worried about Putler because they're considerably closer to him than the US is.

Hahaha I just saw your previous post definitely not a Russian AI bot.  Directing all the nukes at them might be a bit extreme but would definitely resolve the problem as long as we don't get fallout in Thailand 🤣

Oh yes it would. Europe makes many of the high-end processors at the cutting edge of AI. The Large Hadron Collider is located near Geneva.

 

If you had a CAT scan for any cancers or other ailments, the odds are pretty good the scanner was made in Europe, most notably by Siemens and Philips.

 

America embracing isolationism is nothing new. However, Chinese advances such as DeepSeek and in nuclear fusion illustrate taking that path leads to irrelevance.

 

IMO Trump's policies are going to put the US into deep recession, and he will probably take the rest of the world with him.

 

Not that he will care, empathy is not in the skill set of sociopaths.

 

Run that past me again, didn't Trump say he would end the war in Ukraine in a day?

The numbers are misunderstood. The gargantuan losses quoted are killed and wounded (plus MIA, probably dead). The uncertainty is the ratio of wounded to killed, and that largely depends on the standards of medical care. Domestically, both sides' healthcare systems are in a mess. Russia used to have a pretty decent private healthcare system, accessed by a majority of the population, because the public hospitals were so dire. That's completely collapsed now, as the Russian government prioritises supplies for the state sector; before the war, 90% of medicines were imported (and similar for medical equipment), mainly from German and American suppliers. Medical supplies are not sanctioned, so officially not blocked, but the costs have rocketed, and major suppliers have pulled out because of the increased cost of warehousing. The Russian government has tried to get the domestic industry to step in, but have failed. They have plugged things to an extent by importing 3rd tier Chinese products (the things China normally exports to developing countries) and Indian products (virtually all low grade)

 

At the same time, the government has been stripping hospitals of Emergency Room staff, to form brigades at the front, which is another signal that they don't have enough military doctors.

 

Ukraine isn't much better; its hospitals have been bombed, but it has received a lot of donated supplies and volunteer medics. Plus, seriously wounded solders have been evacuated to 3rd countries, like the US, Germany, for treatment and rehab.

 

Statistics from the Western coalition wars don't apply; the troops received excellent care, and there were remarkable cases of men surviving truly horrendous injuries. The biggest cause of death among US troops in Afghanistan wasn't bombs or bullets but sepsis; delays in evacuating from the front line.

 

The assumption is the survival rate is much worse in Ukraine-Russia. The Western countries will have an idea for Ukraine, and would be confident if the soldier can get to a hospital, they will survive. Russia is probably worse.

 

Ukraine isn't losing 350,000 per year. That's a fair estimate for the number of killed and wounded since 2022. US killed:wounded in WW2 was about 1:10. In recent wars, 1:17. Ukraine's data suggests 5:1 or their military. The IISS estimates for Russia about 170,000 Russians dead, 611,000 wounded, with about 40% potentially recoverable to some level of fitness.

They haven't lost a million soldiers. Russian dead is about 170,000, Ukrainian dead are about 100,000. You misunderstand the estimated numbers that are being reported. The rest are wounded. About 30% of Russian wounded are returned to duty, About 50% for Ukraine. Russia's healthcare system is being degraded as more of the state budget is put into war fighting. Ukraine continues to receive help supplementing its healthcare system.
