Now I know you don’t have a TV

The Javelin had been the most successful weapon in the warfare. Do you know how many Russian tanks it took out?

Can’t you see Russia was only able to parade ONE military tank in its last parade. The Javelin already fried the rest
Russia has been preparing for f22 f35 attacks

I wonder how f16 will do maybe Ukraine will be getting nukes too

What if OBJ had refused to handover Bakassi to Cameroon and both countries had gone to war? Would spending billions of dollars be justified bahkmut is strafighting a senseless war out of ego?

You really think Russia has achieved a victory? But at what cost? Russia has far more pressing needs than to expend resources on a completely pointless war. The war is basically an ego trip. Its foreign reserves has been frozen, and in the event of any "victory"(this may simply means the handover of Russian speaking parts of Ukraine to Russia), it would pay huge reparations running into hundreds of billions of dollars. A lot of the sanctions would still remain in place affecting the economy of Russia

Many former USSR countries have per capita income twice that of Russia, such as the Baltic states. Russia has so much scientist that it should be a top 10 in commercial technology but is instead heavily dependent on the export of commodities to survive.

The invasion was never justified. The West would have backed off from allowing Ukraine join NATO and the EU if Putin demanded so as they wouldn't like to lose massive business opportunities in Russia. He thought this was still 2014 but did not realise that this time, the West was waiting for him in the event of an invasion. The Bakhmut win would easily have cost Russia tens of billions of dollars.

About Taiwan, China's economy seems to be experiencing a downturn. Any invasion would seriously damage its economy, whether it comes out victorious or not. I do not support Biden's hard-line posture in regards to Russia or Taiwan, but the truth has to be said.

A Taiwanese invasion would jeopardize world manufacturing. You have microchips manufactured in Taiwan in electrical components in homes, offices, or factories. It is the world's global leader. The world economy might as well come to a halt. I am sure my computer has Taiwan manufactured chips.

don't stress yourself bahkmut is a strategic place connecting to main cities

And correction it was taken by Wagner, in matter of days real Russian soldiers will move in and the main war starts don't get deceived the war is far from being over , Ukraine will be totally gone by then

Ask your self why has Kiev not been reduced to ashes?

You're right!

Chechen soldiers won Mariupol for Russia
Wagner won Bahkmut for Russia...

Russia army is actually reserved waiting for NATO to join the war before unleashing hell on them.

I use to laugh when I hear the western media saying Russia has lost so many soldiers!
they don't know Russia troops are just in sitting waiting for NATO

I think Ukrainian soldiers purposely held on to the city just to ensure a lot of Russian soldiers are killed because Bakhmut isn't that important

Isn't Bakhmut a Ukraine territory anymore?

I actually decided to check the map of Russian controlled areas in Ukraine and discovered that Russia forces are quite close to Kiev.

Anyway, any victory will be pyrrhic. Russia has sunk too much money into the war, lost so many troops and it would keep its economy in limbo for decades to come.

Putin's determination to win would be the primary reason for any success, just like Stalin during the second world war. The readiness to sacrifice everything for a victory, including lives would win it the day.

Soldiers die in war, my friend. That is why it is called battle. It is not where kids play in sand.

Bakhmut is insignificant and of no strategic gain to Russia. But they needed the win to PEPPER the west. This isnt just a win. It is more like flushing 'Billions of dollar' invested by US, UK and the rest of war-mongers, down the toilet.

This is not just the slippers wearing, Ak-47 wielding untrained fighters US bullied in Afghanistan. We are talking Ukrainian army, the second most trained army in the world, armed with weapons, military intelligence, secret fighters from almost 24 countries. Guess what, they lost to a single Mercenary troop.

Money wasted and Confidence level reduced to -0.344.

The “world’s second strongest army” took over 7 months to capture one town, at terrible cost, only succeeding by blasting it to rubble. Ukrainian counter attacks on the flanks ensured Defenders escaped encirclement.

I thought I would see Russian apologists here sober after this debacle, only to come here and see the usual suspects celebrating how Russia’s ‘winter offensive’ gave such limited gains for so many casualties

Utterly shameless.

This was the outcome the Ukrainians always expected, but it played out in the best possible way for them. A costly meat grinder for the Russian army that tied down much of their offensive force in one front and prevented them from making gains elsewhere while Ukraine used the winter to marshal their forces for their counter offensive

Nigerian putinists are not very bright at all
Thank you for acknowledging the bolded. Russia is fighting against more than 30 different nations and they are still standing firm. It should be noted that despite all these western and NATO support against the Russians, no foreign soldier has been able to step foot in their homeland, truly they are the world strongest army thank you once again for recognizing that fact.

Bakhmut went down, just like Mariupol city. The hardest and brutal way possible, so bloody that it only exist in horror movies.

Zelensky, aided by the western media propaganda were covering up the daily loses there just like Mariupol. They never admitted to the ongoing slaughter of the Ukranian forces daily. Instead they covered it up for cheap chestbeating in the media. They kept sending the soldiers to their death.

Bllions of dollar worth of military equipment, aid, assistance from US, UK and other war-mongers ,flushed down the drain. Even the medicore overhyped Patrotiic-missile system couldn't save anyone. No wonder US backed-Ta!wan President stated it clearly yesterday, that they will never go to war with Ch!na no matter what. Everybody is finally seeing the reality in Ukraine. If US succeed in pushing anyone to war with its neighbour. They are on their own.

Another fascinating thing is that Zelensky is currently on world tour presently, from Arab nation to G7 Nations; begging for more weapons. More billions of dollar to waste, more lives of innocent soldiers to sacrifice just to please his puppeteer.


This isnt just a win for Russia. It is a win for world peace.



Hello, Mujahadin wanna-be.

you dont know how to calculate war losses so let me teach you. FYI, Bakhmut is not fully in Russian control. prigozhin wants out so he will say whatever.
but back to the loss calculation. How many Russian assets were lost in the campaign? what is the return on that investment for them?
you are your fellow fanatics just sit around your lantern-lit room with no running water and spew dust.

How is the invasion of a nation that has not threatened anyone towards world peace? Is this what they teach in your mosque?

Are you really this daft that your fanatism is blinding your logical reasoning?

Creeper:


More reason why you need to study it because it’s a near-peer war that’s indirectly a peer because a lot of NATO regular forces and Special Forces are actually in Ukraine - unlike the Giant vs Ant war the world has been subjected to in the last 4 decades.

This war provides an insight into what will likely happen when super powers collide (since neither side would’ve air superiority), how they will shape battlefield in real time, how they adapt tactics in real time, how useful drones are for reconnaissance, the importance of artillery, intelligence gathering, modern EW, battle of special forces, etc.

You can’t weaken a military when it’s not depleted. Conversely, since last year, Russian forces are actually more experienced and hardened than NATO forces because they have first hand experience in a real war - not the shenanigans against cow herders.
The 8diot u are explaining all these too has no brain, he can comprehend all these.

Until Zelensky finishes Ukraine, then He would know that after the war, Ukraine have both lost properties and lives. He might be bargaining for donation to rebuild ukraine but this war is unnecessary. Zelensky is as ass licking disaster. Weakest president so far.

I don't think they will have that strong mind .

If they had won bakhmut, then their morale will be very high , that was what the media was waiting for bit it failded miserably .

Russia used 7 months to capture bakhmut. The Ukrainians have been holding their own against them for fifteen months now. And they have more superior fire power than ever. Their morale may be weakened , but only for a bit.

I should study this war, that it took Russia eight or more months to capture a remote village or town in Ukraine. That's if they have actually captured it.
See, Russia army is very disappointing. At this rate, it will take them 10000 yrs to capture all of Ukraine.
Truth be told, Russia has been weakened militarily. It can't be regarded as major power except for it nuclear weapons. Even ISIS did take this long to capture villages in Syria and Iraq before they were beaten back.
stop capping. Even US can never win any war against anyone without their nukes. RUSSIA decimated the best Army in history in WW2. Tell me who US have cut down to size in a similar manner?

Meanwhile this is the latest news on Bakhmut

This same story was in the original post, if you read everything.

Were you really expecting them to come out and say a city fell to the enemies?
