    Russia has lost 87% of its deployed troops by recent estimates, so fortunately it’s increasingly looking like the only way Russia can “win” is by saving face and removing their troops from occupied Ukrainian territories, including Crimea.

      If you seriously believe that 87% of russian troops have been lost you need to take a long hard look at why you think that’s true. Like think about it, if theyve lost that many troops then why haven’t the battle lines shifted in any meaningful way basically all year ? Why is there no outrage and overflowing graveyards, or increased mobilization in Russia if thats the case ?

      Seriously like whatever side of the conflict you’re on aside, if you want any intellectual credibility you gotta think about that one

        Deployed troops, not troop reserves. The estimates are fairly accurate and have been fact checked by multiple intelligence groups. There’s burn pits for the bodies of dead Russians, don’t exactly need a graveyard when they go up in smoke.

      This is dangerous Russian propaganda because according to the Ukrainian ministry of defense they actually lost over 100%

      They also destroyed over 100% of tanks and artillery, the videos of Russian tanks advancing is actually Kremlin dezinformatsiya AI generated fakes

        Thank you for recognizing dangerous Russian propaganda and the fact that Ukaine does not have full access to their soverign land to make fully accurate assessments. If the aggressor wee to leave occupied territory, then I believe these numbers would come down a bit, however it’s clear Russia has lost considerably fighting this “special operation” in another countries soverign territory.

        And they’ll keep receiving said money because the majority of the United Nations believes Russia is the aggressor. Allowing an aggressor to overtake soverign land is a big no-no to the UN.

          Which is why Israel was stopped from annexing East Jerusalem and the West Bank right? It also explains why the US was not allowed to invade and occupy Syria.

            While this may be a desired goal of Netanyahus government, his support by Israelis is dwindling. Let’s not forget Hamas’s desired goals too. In the future, hopefully a more progressive Israeli government echos the United States policy more closely for a 2 state solution.

                    I’m not sure what a comm is, I’m just commenting on a thread that appears in my “Hot” list. That sounds distasteful and warmongering. I don’t think violence or death threats should ever be supported. Hopefully humanity can learn from this disgusting statement. A defensive pact, which NATO is, does not apply aggression towards sovereign nations.

      Russia clearly won, but even if your interjection is plausible. Not if we (Arabs) succeed in dragging the US into another losing war in the Middle East. They are already abandoning Ukraine for Israel. Just imagine if we managed to get troops in Yemen. The US is exercising restraint with Yemen for a reason, already spread too thin and just came out of two losing wars, and we will keep triggering it until it bites.

        Not really, the US has been pumping the breaks on Israeli aid because of the indiscriminate bombings in Gaza. The US believes the civilians in Gaza have a right to their territory as a 2 state solution is desired.

          The US is bankrolling the genocide and vetoed the ceasefire. Who are you lying to? The US and its interests are a fair and legitimate targets because of its involvement and complicity in the genocide.

            As a defensive partner it makes sense to continue to provide aid and arms to Israel for defensive purposes, which includes the removal of a condemned terrorist organization as the acting government of the Gaza strip. This does not reduce or remove the US effort to provide aid and humanitarian support to the citizens of Gaza. A 2 state solution remains the policy of the United States, even if this is a foil with both Hamas and the Netantahu government.

              defensive purposes

              You wouldn’t say this if it was Russia bombing Ukrainians. I’m gonna blame this on racism against Arabs. No other reason to describe the murder of 18,000 civilians and the bombing of schools and hospitals as defensive.

              condemned terrorist organization

              Citation needed.

              According to Wikipedia the countries that consider it as terrorist are only than 13% of the world’s population. That doesn’t seem like much condemnation when 87% of the world aren’t on board.

                Russia has been and is currently bombing Ukrainians on sovereign land. Pretty easy to learn this tidbit of information.

                  And the Palestinians are bombed where? in the skies? they are being bombed on their own land that was stolen from them, and in the refugee camps they are forced to live in. Internally displaced on their own land.

              I want you to consider this comment and compare it to your previous comment above. You said that the US is reducing spending on Israel because of Israel’s brutal actions. Then when it was pointed out to you that they in fact were doing the opposite, your response was not to then say “wow, that’s really shitty of them” but instead to try and justify their actions to yourself.

              Have you no brain? No heart? No soul? No spine? Is this really the person you want to be? Someone licking the boot of the dickhead politicians in Washington so much that you’ll abandon any and all morals to do so? It’s ok to be mad at your government when they do shitty things, even if they are “your team.”
