do any Russians explain how prolonging a war actually helps Russia rearm, sell oil and gas, get rid of sanctions, end the destruction of their military equipment, puts conscripts back into the work force, and ends the deaths of Russians?

or a long war only hurts the West now?
I suspect Russia has rationalized that the West (US) will bail after the next Congress is seated. There sure are a lot of isolationist Republican candidates talking that way
That simply isn't going to happen. The isolationist wackos may be yelling the loudest, but there is no way we are pulling out. We are getting an incredible return on our investment in Ukraine. So far, around $15 billion, no American lives lost, and a dictator being crippled. And in case you haven't figured it out yet, Russia, not the US, will determine how long this war lasts. As for Ukraine, they will fight to the last babushka and stray cat.
Agree totally, but I think we will hear this line of propaganda rev up from the Russian talking heads and last until early spring of next year, when they will find some new line of BS

Cat fight…



If your justification is "well the nazis did it" that seems like a bad position to defend.


Especially when the nazis weren't even in the top two murderous villains IN THEIR TIME - and the Russians were number one.

As for natural gas, heck yeah, we could be solving the European energy crisis, weaning the Far East off coal, and pouring the profits into alternative energy research, but our administration is more interested in crafting mandates than doing the hard work of business, trade, and science.
russian long war certainly includes destroying power in Ukraine.

ADA takes down cruise missile a 100M over plant. Not sure if that was target or not but looks like it was already hit.

NOT celebrating this, BTW. These people were placed in harm's way by the Russian government and their proxies either deliberately at worst or very carelessly at best. Never want to see non-combatants killed. Have to be better and not resort to behaving like so many others on the Russian side.

Not soft enough to get the hell out of Ukraine, though?

Either side is probably throwing out a lot of propaganda on this, but the assessment that Ukraine has continued defense of Bakhmut is obvious up to this point.

I didn't think that Ukraine was shelling inside Russia proper? Assumed that it was covert actors on the ground or HIMARS.

They are, but they're not allowed to use HIMARS or other Western-provided weapons to do so, I believe (unless that's changed). They're close enough to hit some targets in the Belgorod region without them.

Sucks for the Russian ethnic minorities. They're essentially part of an internal genocide right now.

why commit suicide BEFORE you go off to war?

it has been reported a few time that Russian conscripts are killing themselves before even being shipped to the front, which seems to be both ironic and paradoxical

could be the West and NATO will get some b@lls and actually start taking real actions to bring down the Iranian war machine and their ability to manufacture weapons, therefore stopping the flow to Russia before it can begin.

You've seen Full Metal Jacket. I suspect that a lot of these guys aren't mentally equipped to handle the stress and just snap. So many of the guys they're conscripting (based on reports and what we've seen) are probably either outright "challenged" or very close to it.

It is within 18 KM which I consider max for typical artillery. 6KM to border and 13KM to Vovchansk.
Looks like small petro chem plant. there are several in the neighborhood and a rail line within 100M of the fire.

the more logical reason is that they didn't want to goto war, were shot twice in the head, and then ruled death by suicide. The psych counseling for others was simply a question of choices; war or suicide!

I don't mind celebrating the deaths of lying propagandists serving our enemies and leading to the death and destruction of innocent civilians.

they made a deliberate choice to become the mouthpiece of Putin,

now they get the consequences. just as I would celebrate German propogandists working for Goebbels getting taken out.
