Until folks on Russian soil that ain’t happening they not winning the war its really a stalemate at this point.
But the problem is as big as Russia is its alot of land thats uninhabited kinda like Canada so troop reinforcement is an issue their literally arming dudes from 16-60 alot of which come from far stretches of very poor villages in the middle of nowhere.
They give them a few weeks of training put them on a truck and send them to the frontline unprepared with equipment and rations from the 80s.
And outdated Russian Equipment as well as lax production restrictions is a huge problem, Russias whole mo is cutting corners on production to push out things quick, and it shows blatantly in their tank design.
They have tank barrels that are uneven and warp after prolonged exposure to heat so their not efficient in a long campaign like this, all the shells are right underneath the tank crew so one missle in the right spot (which is why guided missles have been so deadly) and its pretty much a death trap.
And they haven’t really innovated in decades because their plan of attack for centuries has been to just throw as many soldiers as possible at an opponent and overwhelm them, well now the whole world sees with updated technology that 1940s style is no longer effective.
To think people really thought Russia was this big bad boogeyman and could go against the US is laughable now we would destroy half their army just by using drones and stealth fighters since their anti air capabilities is lacking as well.

The Ukraine is getting they ass wiped out and losing city by cities… why would Russia use nukes?
Why did you quote me just to ignore my question?at this point it's all just speculation based off of what has happened in some previous conflicts.

I put forth a hypothetical situation. Who would you believe if the told you this was true?

I actually work with a gang load of Russians, one of which is a Vietnamese girl who grew up there and is fluent in the culture and language. One of the people actually works remote and lives right in the middle of the tundra and takes ice baths.
I probably got a much more realistic view and connection to the people of Russia than most people here.
Many of those people will say the exact opposite as what you're saying tbh.
You can also follow somebody like Pvlace from 808 Mafia and he'll tell you straight up some things he really misses when he goes back to Europe from America (a big one is the food). So I can't even imagine what Russia is like in that regard.

You misunderstood what I said so I’ll try again in a simpler way:
If you go to a poor country in Africa, say Nigeria, and tell them they’ll have a better quality of life in Russia and you give them a Russian visa, they’ll go.
The ads are not meant for Western consumption. Poor, educated people in the Global South will go ANYWHERE where they can escape their conditions.
Racist America, ethno-fascist Russia, China - anywhere!

That makes sense. My argument is, I think for poor folks from other countries is if they can make the trip they'd fare much better in America than Russia and China.
Everyone's situation is different, but if you're applying to any of those countries and if you really can't make it in your own country, then the best bet would be to try and hold out for U.S citizenship approval. It may be a shytty nation, but it's the best chance immigrants have right now.
I still say if you can tough it out in your country, that may be the best bet because once the U.S starts taxing you then you're officially caught in the crappy rat race/system and they got your ass past retirement.

if a nation came forth with physical proof of weapons meant for Ukraine being used on their soil, i would give that credence.

You shoot one nuke you better be prepared to shoot several more cause that return ticket is coming your way
And once you shoot first any countries that you would have been your traditional allies gonna throw you to the wolves too
So you shoot that nuke...nukes coming back your way....political and trade isolation....they will cut your off both maritime and air wise....food shortage for your people.....you are literally out in the cold...
Who is stepping up to get in the way of international retaliation if Putin loses his mind and uses that card?

There's not one politician that's interested in preserving the United States as a whole. Neither Democrat or Republican. The whole state has been sold out and we're in the phase of terminal, soon to be, rapid decline. If people weren't so caught up in chasing these agendas these scam artists create and foist upon us then there might be a chance but not now.
We did war games scenarios involving just a CONVENTIONAL war between the US and China and we lost in 2015 and then again in 2018, in front of the goddamn Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. At that point, there was some panic but we can't even replicate hypersonic missile technology that China and Russia has which makes our aircraft carrier groups exposed as fukk..nevermind that Russia is supposedly working on NEXT GENERATION hypersonic missile technology RIGHT NOW and we're not even on the board yet.
People on here getting excited about the HIMARS bullshyt doing work..yeah, it's a competent system but people fail to realize that Russia hasn't even rolled out ALL of their new generation weapons tech to the field (and folks in command KNOW THIS!!) nor marshaled their most competent artillery, armor and naval units to bear.. that's mainly because they don't want to outright destroy Ukraine since they see the population as kin. All the media has talked about is the hypersonic missiles and the new SARMAT nuke, which is fukking terrifying in itself.
There's too much going on all at once.. planetary, socially, economically, culturally, etc, etc..everything is going out of wack to a high degree damn all at once. If you pay attention and just really focus, you can feel something is majorly off with the world. It's a strong tension, like something is getting to break to the bad globally very soon.
What if that nation was russia/china/north korea/iran?
Russia has suffered an estimated 75,000 casualties in Ukraine invasion, U.S. officials say

LONDON — More than 75,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or injured since the Kremlin launched its brutal war on Ukraine on Feb. 24, according to U.S. intelligence.
Speaking to CNN, Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin said the estimate was revealed during a classified briefing with officials from the Biden administration. “We were briefed that over 75,000 Russians have either been killed or wounded [in Ukraine], which is huge. ... Over 80% of their land forces are bogged down, and they’re tired,” she said.
That roughly correlates to the number of casualties estimated by CIA Director William Burns on July 20. “I think the latest estimates from the U.S. intelligence community would be, you know, something in the vicinity of 15,000 killed and maybe three times that wounded, so a quite significant set of losses,” Burns said at the Aspen Security Forum.
He went on to say that Ukrainian soldiers had “suffered as well,” but “probably a little less than” enemy forces. More recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s senior adviser said military casualties were between 100 and 200 per day.
Ahead of Russia’s invasion, President Biden said Russia had amassed around 150,000 troops, while British Prime Minister Boris Johnson claimed that 200,000 were stationed on Ukraine’s borders. No figure has been disclosed by Russia’s Defense Ministry.
In a briefing on Monday, the U.K.’s Ministry of Defense said the number of Russian soldiers who had died in the first three months of the invasion in Ukraine were comparable to the Soviet Union’s losses during its decade-long conflict in Afghanistan.
“A combination of poor low-level tactics, limited air cover, a lack of flexibility, and a command approach which is prepared to reinforce failure and repeat mistakes has led to this high casualty rate, which continues to rise in the Donbas offensive,” the department said.
Keeping relatively quiet on the number of casualties its military has suffered, Russia announced on March 25 that it had counted 1,351 deaths. No public statements have been made since.
