Coffeesforclosers Posted October 9 Posted October 9 (edited) 2 hours ago, sherpa said: I'm guessing the "RuAF" is Air Force? Total casualties have been estimated at near one million total, and a few hundred thousand of those are dead, as of late June. Russian Armed Forces. There's a part of the OSINT world that likes RuAF vs. UAF. The same dudes refer to the Russian Air Force by its Cyrillic acronym, VKS, sorta snobby but I get it. Those total losses from February 2022 to June 2025 seem very plausible. 2 hours ago, sherpa said: Kind of ugly for what Putin called a "partial mobilization." Right? Looks like the chief advantage provided by mass in the Ukraine war isn't overwhelming local superiority, but operational tempo. So long as you don't mind making the grave diggers rich...but is there a more Russian way of war than that? Edited October 9 by Coffeesforclosers
Coffeesforclosers Posted October 10 Posted October 10 https://www.airandspaceforces.com/ukraines-f-16-force-innovation-impact-and-resolve-in-the-face-of-aggression/ Foreign supplied F-16s are flying about 80% of Ukraine's sorties at this point. They also claim that no Ukrainian air base or airfield has been put out of action since the war started. Which is believable because by any reasonable expectation, the Ukrainian Air Force should have been annihilated a long, long time ago.

Wolfgang Posted October 16 Posted October 16 The longer the Ukraine nonsense continues, the more profitable the rebuild will be... The more young men killed on both sides of the Russian border means greater future control of Ukraine... A win win for business...

It also creates a source of hot young white women not indoctrinated in socialist ideologies by American universities for Gen X and Z American men that are looking for a soul mate but are logically avoiding like The Plague, blue haired, ring nosed, and tattooed feminist nut job American women. Its a different version of the great replacement theory. Replacing woke maniacs with normal women absent any sense of entitlement or personality disorders. Edited October 16 by All_Pro_Bills 1 1

Hahhaa, yup, those chicks will be clamoring to hook up with all the fat, pasty MAGAs who supported Russia throughout their campaign by regurgitating Russian propaganda online and denouncing any American support of Ukraine under the guise of some weird peace capitulation to Russia.
Coffeesforclosers Posted October 17 Posted October 17 A little background information on why the Alaska Peace Summit failed. Shocker, Putin is a Eurasianist ideologue and treated Trump to a pompous history lecture while pissing all over his peace plan.

Coffeesforclosers Posted October 23 Posted October 23 Well, yes, Mr. President. This realization has taken you 9 months to figure out, and has cost the lives of somewhere around 130,000 Russians and Ukrainians who died while you flop around looking for a policy that works. Which would be easier if you hadn't masterfully broadcast your goal the campaign trail. Which ties a quick, lasting peace to you political legitimacy and ego. So you have to jump at any chance of success. And your opposition can dangle quick fix solutions in front of you, then bail on them last minute to play for time. Which you didn't just admit they'd succeeded in doing. Oh you masterful negotiator. I hope sanctions work for you though, it's not like you could have done this on January 21st, to gain some of the leverage you threw away. I guess we'll have to wait and see. 1

If Kamala won, is this war still going on? He tried a different approach. It hasn’t worked. So unless you think Harris would’ve stopped the war, what exactly are you complaining about? Same people would’ve died.. you’d just be making excuses about how what she’s doing is working.
B-Man Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Hmmm. Corruption in Ukraine ?? GAMBLING DISCOVERED IN RICK’S CAFÉ: Corruption Is Slowly Engulfing Zelensky and His Allies. Kyiv is keen to speed up EU accession talks and is preparing to bring top European leaders together to show force against those blocking the move. But the case of these opponents is growing stronger as more and more reports emerge about possible corruption within Volodymyr Zelensky’s administration. Justice Minister German Galushchenko was suspended from his post on Wednesday morning amid a corruption investigation into the country’s energy sector. This was just two days after anti-corruption agencies announced their probe into a “large-scale” corruption scheme in the country’s energy sector, which is said to have taken place while Galushchenko was energy minister. The investigation is linked to money laundering of as much as $100 million (€86.4 million) through an office in Kyiv. https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/ukraine-corruption-engulfing-zelensky-and-allies/ No word yet if the big guy got his ten percent, or when Zelensky, that paragon of democracy, will allow elections and open media again

B-Man Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Your Sunday morning Clarice: FTA: The best, most detailed description of the 28-point peace plan, what it contains, and how it was presented to Zelensky is in Jeff Childer’s substack. I summarize it, but urge you to read it all. After four years of sending a tsunami of U.S. money to Zelensky’s Ukraine, Trump, who ran on a promise to end this war, cut off the funds and reduced the weapons flow there. He tried working with Zelensky and Putin, but the U.S. team's best efforts were going nowhere. The U.S.-controlled anti-corruption agency NABU exposed what had long been of concern -- enormous government corruption. Zelensky's best friend and business partner, Timur Mindich, fled the country, leaving behind stacks of dollars and a gold-plated toilet. Politico said, “The agency has charged 71 current and former MPs with corruption, 42 of them during the period between 2022 and 2025. 31 of the charged MPs still sit in the Ukrainian parliament.” Andriy Yermak, his top aide, is under attack from Ukrainian lawmakers who demand he be fired. (Yermak appears to have found urgent affairs to attend to in Istanbul, to which he’s decamped.) Other ministers have also resigned or skedaddled out of the country, including the former defense minister, who reportedly came to the U.S., sought asylum, and offered his cooperation in the corruption scandal. The U.S. is demanding that Ukraine give up some land and arms. Apparently, because we required his presence there, Zelensky was forced to come to Istanbul, where he was presented with the plan, a plan that had no input from European leaders and was not leaked before it was handed over to Zelensky. While Zelensky and Yermak are considering the plan in Istanbul, top U.S. generals arrived back in Kyiv, also to ‘discuss peace.’ The Russians seem to like it, and Zelensky has not complained. In fact, he tweeted, 'only President Trump and the U.S. can make this war come to an end.' How many times before have we thought this is it? And then, somehow, Zelensky and his European buddies manage to scurry away through a crack nobody noticed? But this time, President Trump obviously orchestrated a massive strategy that the Z-man and the Euroweenies never saw coming. The carefully coordinated corruption scandal -- which nobody doubts happened -- is the political equivalent of a decapitation strike. This is ugly political hardball; the Mafia-like offer that can’t be refused, the horse head in the bedsheets. The only reason Zelensky wasn’t himself implicated in the corruption scandal -- a scandal that includes all his best buddies -- is that they need him to sign the paper. But if he won’t sign the paper, he’s useless. And what happens to useless people? It appears that Trump may be poised to resolve the most intractable, contentious, and difficult war on the planet since the last intractable, contentious, and difficult war that he resolved. Everyone keeps telling Trump to force Putin to take a deal. But how? Isn’t it much easier to negotiate a deal the Russians can live with, and then force Zelensky to take it? Maybe this time, we are finally in the endgame. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/11/carrots_and_sticks.html https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/slava-polycrisis-thursday-november?
