Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

[Spitfire9]

Zelensky (a Israeli Ukrainian) is very succesfull in emptying Western taxpayers pockets.

I admire him.

But the Ukrainian people (not Zelenskys people) will curse him every day for exterminating millions of Ukrainians, especially the male population.

Sounds like you think it is the Ukrainian armed forces that have been exterminating people in Ukraine. Wake up. Reality is vey different to your dreams.

It is normal for Russia to have more Ukrainian bodies than Ukraine has Russian bodies, because the areas where the latest battles have been fought have come under Russia control. Even if there were 10 Russian dead for one Ukrainian, Russia would still be able to “collect” more Ukrainian bodies sinply because they are in control of the land where those people died.

So this exchange tells us nothing about the real rate of death on the frontlines.

Also, you are citing a Twitter account that calls Ukrainians the “Kiev Junta”, so the credibility of that information is zero.

Actually regardless of Scott's ridiculous reasoning, it is actually true that Zelensky's approval ratings hit rock-bottom. This is why Zelensky refuses to conduct new elections because he knows that he is losing it 100%

As for why the people hate him, it isnt because of exterminating Ukrainians directly but rather indirectly.....
1- The high echelons in Ukraine have become more bold to the point of publicly embezzeling state money

2- The high echelons in Kiev carry out club and night parties every day while other cities in Ukraine are being ravaged by the Russian orcs day and night

3- Electrical outage in Ukraine reached up to 16 hours per day in some cities which is just outright ridiculous while Winter is on the way..... ofcourse it is because of Russian strikes but Zelensky after 2-3 years of warfare and he still cant protect his own infrastructure

4- Zelensky have been promoting Ukraine's performance in the war while in reality Russia is slowly but surely getting closer to its goals while half of Ukrainians left the country and the other half nearly lost 10-20% of its male population

Zelensky promoted his victory if the allies helped him, sadly even with the help of the so-called allies, Ukraine wont win. It is just impossible for a failed state of 30 million citizens to defeat a nation of 140 million citizens that has its own advanced domestic military capabilities and tooooons of natural resources that pour billions of dollara into its state coffers every day

North Koreans (10,000) in the Russian Primorsk change into Russian military uniforms, receive ammunition and head to the Ukrainian front. Is this already World War III, or should we expect the arrival of the Iranians and Chinese?

Russian-Ukrainian War on Instagram: "Footage how North Korean soldiers receive Russian equipment. Recently received footage that is no more than 72 hours old. This is the Serheev training ground in the Far East of Russia."

Zelensky not holding elections during wartime isn't in-and-of-itself unusual, that's normal wartime stuff for any besieged country. Even the banning of other political parties - while not great - I feel you can justify in the short-term, anyone even remotely less "fuck you!" toward Russia.

But it's a matter of how long he can keep that up. When all hope's lost for the war (I wouldn't go as far as to say *all* hope is lost for them *yet*, but they're certainly approaching that), he's going to have to release his grip on power and go to the people for a mandate, should they want him continuing in the role.

The North Koreans...ehh, it's hard to say really. I wouldn't really fear them much man-for-man as far as troop badassery, these aren't their grandfather's generation with the practical combat experience, but...they could become a big problem as far as expendable cannon-fodder. If it's only 10 000 guys for now, not that big a deal, but yeah, if it expands to 5, 10 times that, Ukraine could be in some fuckity shit even more than they are now. Kim says "jump" and these guys are gonna jump, even if it's suicidal, for them refusing to advance is suicide too, whether it's Putin or Kim who executes them for it.

Wave attacks have been pretty effective against Ukraine, and having a whole new source of grunts for that could be pretty game-change-y, especially with Ukraine's manpower crisis and recent strategic blunders like Kursk. 10 000 NK guys isn't anything to panic about yet, but if it's just a foot in the door and many more are coming, yeah, eep.

Nk troops will most likely serve as Russian Asian troops. Even if NK soldiers are there they can disguise them.

They are being said to be 11000 .
