I never tried a moose (dunno, I just can't kill a God's creature that tries to make friends and is so open to humans), but tried a deer. Couldn't say they are tasty. Prefer beef.

Russians haven't been "hurling soldiers" at anything. When they do, and take losses, what do you see? A complete meltdown on the Russian side of the commentariat and endless streams of jizz from the Ukrainian side, like we recently saw in Pavlovka. Conversely, Those sorts of losses are so normal for the Ukrainian side that it barely gets any sort of notification.

Russians are just doing what they always do: bomb until the enemy line is depleted, then move in. Danger? Withdraw while bombing the enemy.

And that's the critical factor, even more-so than the artillery disadvantage - faced with strong enemy advances Russians withdraw, Ukrainians cling. Today it was a big one with Kherson, before that it was Lyman.


Earlier I said "perhaps" 10:1, now I'm saying "minimum" 5:1. Things have changed, the Russians are more on the offensive now and, unlike some here, I am open to the idea that things can get worse for the side I'm cheering on.

And so are you, it seems, since you've switched from saying a lopsided Russian advantage is delusional or ridiculous or whatever particular word to a mere "unlikely". Glad you're coming around.


Moose is good, elk is the true king of game meat.

The whole narrative will be written in the books of star trek school on mars in the year 2145 calling this war a strategic chess play russia lead. Just wait and see. Although I hate war on both sides of this conflict but the old generals in Russia sure know how to make war. The U.S is not the only country who has the know how.

Jesus, Russians have no chance against these guys. Only nuclear threats.




Russian units undergoing training in the area of ​​the city of Baranovichi, Brest region, were issued obsolete weapons and property – metal helmets of the Second World War model and means of protection from the period of the 60-70 years of the last century. In addition, a large part of small arms, namely AK-74 assault rifles, are in non-working condition due to poor storage conditions.
According to detailed information, the Russian occupiers are taking away looted property and stolen cars from the city of Severodonetsk, Luhansk region. Looting takes place under cover and accompanied by representatives of the occupation’s so-called state security agencies.

Moose have flat antlers, elk have pointy ones.

I don't spend a lot of time perusing the commentariat, nor do I care to seek some middle ground here on "what the casualties are." A lot of people are dead, and it's Russia's fault.

I agree. If they had have been much more brutal early on, a lot of lives would have been saved. Should've opened with a cruise missile directly into the Rada.

*should've stayed in their own country*

They tried, but you know this. Or at least are aware of what I'm gonna say about Minsk and such.
