The Russian population is 143.4 million people, Ukraine controlled territory population is 22-25 million people. However the numbers for manpower become smaller if we are looking for a male fighting population and those that dont have serious casualties.
Now if Ukraine is to win this war they have to inflict far greater losses for Russia then themselves but apparently that is far from the truth based on recorded data that we all got. According to the Ukrainian and Russian equipment loss website, Ukraine has lost far more equipment losses(can only imagine what the manpower losses are) then Russia and the entire dead body exchange from the beginning to the current phase of the war has never benefitted Ukraine statistically.
We are currently here where Ukraine has to begin building defense fortifications in Odessa, New security buffer zones that are not just the 4 regions of the original SMO operation goals and Ukraine having to now evacuate civilians that are closer to the northern russian border. You know the smaller Ukraine becomes the less strike oppurtunities they receive giving Russia more reconaisance to look in smaller areas then bigger areas to strike more of Ukraine's equipment in their entire country right?
So next the goal will be to completely demilitarize Ukraine, maybe establish a land bridge to Transnistria and have everything east of the Dniepr river as territory. Whatever is left of Ukraine and Moldova would both be too useless to use again as a proxy war on Russia. Russian population begins to drastically grow, Putin reaches his 1.5 million active duty goal with 2.3 million people involved that act as support. Rather if Ukraine or Moldova become NATO states doesnt bother Russia in fact they might encourage it because any war with NATO is involved with nukes. Then take most of their huge equipment/troops leftovers from this war and begin their incursions to the middle east and africa.
Only 2 countries present that have somewhat of a formidable military is Turkey and Israel. Turkey before and after sanctions is still one of NATO's biggest trading partners to Russia. Israel is a complicated thing to figure out because they have a huge eastern european population with a good chunk of that from Russia. Epstein leaked conversation with previous Israel PM talked about bringing in 1 million russians to be converted because the holy state was not white enough before. The eastern european jew population in Israel might enjoy Russia being closer to them because they see more leverage in having higher political hierarchy leverage in Israel.
Rather if Russia and Chinas Siberia pipeline finalizes sooner or later Europe will be stuck paying for more fuel and always paying for more equipment because loses for ukraine are still more severe then what they are trying to inflict on Russia and having Poland one of the biggest transfer routes of equipment to Ukraine start an investigation because of Tusk is also a bad sign. Eventually the US will no longer see a purpose in Europe and begin to have a bigger military presence in Latin America instead. The Iran war has proven the importance of logistics and having an even bigger Russia then before where logistics are cheaper for them to move their large army around might make the U.S. begin to slowly pull out of the middle east later as well. The US will also begin to start trade in the Bering strait with Russia and China soon and we already see some projects developing between the US and Russia for the Bering strait.
it is what it is.
Of course as one American said " Russians can be intelligent but never smart" . Hence you are answering the questions here that I didn't pose. The only growth of Russian population is among Muslims, no?
You are taking some big talk. Oh we will take this and that and there is danger for Russia.
Why didn't you attack Finland and Baltics ? They are practically on St Petersburg doorstep, no? What pipeline? China logically wants it all , why would they leave anything to you? As of loss of equipment, obviously I was saying in regards to the West end China, no?
Russia isn't able to produce a single piece of ground equivalent, air force is bit better and navy? What navy. Realistically, Vladivostok is in the same position as it was 1904.
And no matter what you might say about Europe, you are dying to be integral part of it for the last 300 years . Of course, no one in Europe ever wanted to be your serf , your extraordinary chauvinism practically entails you to think that you have something to offer civilization wise.
I mean even here , your appetite is extraordinary. Transistria , Moldavia etc? Yet even without war your life economy is smaller than Italy.
If someone looks at some figures, then someone can ask himself," What do you offer, what do you want" . You have always been priding yourself as being some moral alternative to someone, no?
I think that you can be only to the crowd which still talks about the vaccines.
On of best examples is Armenia. Pashanyan realised as he is very pragmatic and intelligent person that for all Armenian predicaments, you are to blame. People of Caucasus don't want you, they have a good reason for that.
What happened recently? I think so called a president of , I think Ossetia, basically and formally gave you his country?
Where is that love for fellow Orthodox? Basically you are making truly big shit throughout the place, on that pretext for the last 300 years????
Ok , you take half of Ukraine , then what? What will happened? A bit of Khazastan, because you are civilising power over there? Don't you talk like that? Istanbul?
1914 , you wanted all , Britain and USA made sure that you don't.
So I think as much as Ukraine loose , you loose even more, Who the F wants to be a fisherman in Kamchatka????
