sorry to clarify, my view is that territories gained / lost is a by product, it was not the reason for the war in the first place. russia had objectives. those objectives were not "we will take x amount of land". russia had security concerns and until those concerns are resolved no amount of land gained / lost can be considered a metric, indeed, its not a metric.

its like being in a race, a 100m sprint, and you also get to bang the cheerleader if you win. whether you bang the cheerleader or not may be a by product of the race, but winning the medal is the metric. i.e. no Nato.


What an embarrassing and slightly creepy choice of simile.

We are somewhere in the middle of the race while every runner tries to bang the cheerleader (Europe?) as if it was the main goal.

hopefully we are near the end, but you may be right, this war could go on for years yet.

Sensation! North Korean chewed through his veins (likely inguinal ones, editor's note) to avoid capture, say various Ukrainian telegram channels, providing no video or photo evidence as usual.

Day 1,041 of the 3 day special military totally not a war operation.

After another year of fighting the Russian military have occupied approximately 3,300 square kilometres of territory; At the cost of literally thousands of Russian lives and billions of dollars spent.
To put that in perspective 3,300km2 is about half the size of Ottawa city metro.

Massive, massive cope comrade :thumbsup:

Russia is holding over 100K square kilometers of Ukrainian territory (let's round it down) or close to 20% of Ukraine I believe.

Ukraine is holding less than 500 square kilometers of Russian territory I believe (rounded up, lol), I don't know what percentage of Russia that translates to but I guess something like 0.0017353% of Russia.

You win another medal comrade for posting the most dishonest take ever posted in this entire topic :thumbsup:

7% of Russian held territory is Crimea and previously held parts of Luhansk and the Donbas.
So after 3 years of war, hundreds of thousands dead, ruble in freefall, more NATO than ever, the Kiev government not removed, Russian economy overheating, inflation among the highest in the world; Its safe to say the person claiming 13% of Ukraines destroyed, heavily mined and within artillery range territory was somehow worth the cost, is the person who is coping.

As your were.

Russian territory invaded and occupied, generals assassinated a mere stones throw from the Kremlin, paramilitaries threatening to march on Moscow, around a million skilled workers fleeing a mobilisation, North Koreans being slaughtered trying to retake Kursk.

Putin is the gift that keeps on giving for the civilised world.

Are these North Koreans here in the room? Is there a mobilization going on in Russia or the majority of skilled workers are back, is the situation same in Ukraine, do they dodge or flee, or both, how many millions? What happened to these paramilitaries, are they still on a march? Do you approve Ukraine's Al-Quaeda connections and their shared methods on terrorist attacks?
