if you have to source your war machines from DPRK… you might be losing
Russia is not loosing. This is just part of the 5D chess Putin is playing. Any minute he will make his master move and conquer Ukraine, destroy NATO and fingerbang your dad. Just wait. You’ll see.
Kyiv in 3 days!
Show me where Putin claimed he’d take Kyiv in 3 days.
Sure. The minute you show me where I said Putin claimed it.
Oh my bad, for some strange reason I had assumed you were talking about Putin in a comment chain devoted to talking about Putin.
Generally, if someone quotes someone else, they put it in quotation marks. Hence my never claiming Putin said it.
On the other hand, there was the three-day plan, which I am sure you will deny existing or say is a Western lie.

But then I’m guessing you’ll also say the invasion was justified for one reason or another.
Bruh, you literally just linked to a paragraph that makes the claim that the idea of a three-day conquest came purely out of American and Ukrainian speculation. This is exactly what I’m saying, save for that one Lukashenko quote.
I’m not going to get into the weeds with you about the invasion, but I am going to call you out for sheisty implied quotes. Any reasonable and adequately uninformed person would read your “three day war” comment in response to a comment chain about putin and assume you were talking about putin. You deserve to get called out for that. It’s misleading and disingenuous.
That’s the problem. This is an old school war. If Russia can keep moving the front lines the correct direction them nothing else matters. I don’t say this because I like Russia but because it shows how much more support we need to be giving Ukraine. The manpower difference is something like 4 to 1. The casualty ratio is something like 3 to 1 which is high but within Russian standards. If nothing changes Russia will win this in another few years.
There’s a lot of truth to that unfortunately. Historically, Russia has shown many times that any number of casualties is acceptable .
If all that they have to continue throwing at this war is casualties, Ukraine has already won. Russia may have plenty of meat left but they do not have equipment left. And no war, especially a modern one, is going to be won without equipment and vehicles. Ukraine has NATO support behind them and Russia has… North Korea, maybe China if they’re feeling charitable that day.
Official and recognized military taxonomists insist that a vehicle doesn’t count as a tank unless it’s classified manuals and specs have been leaked in the World of Tanks forums.
*Warthunder
I’m sure there is a difference between warthunder and world of tanks. Next time I’m flying DCS, I’ll ask around if anybody has kids that play them.
