  1. I’d say Musk is more of a risk than Trump, who seems to be wallowing in the throes Dementia, not that I imagine Musk would be any better of a politician or strategist.

  2. Sure would like to know what that Trump Meme Coin is at….

  3. Let’s be honest.

    Russia is only losing the war until Ukraine runs out of ammo.

    Ukraine will run out of ammo without US support (thanks EU)

  4. Serious question. How is Russia losing the war? I hope they do, I would just like to know more about the situation.

  5. I think the way things were going Russia definitely were losing.

    However without US weapons and intelligence things are very much unclear and difficult for Ukraine. The EU will be able to step in and fill some of what the US provided but not all and not right away.

  6. Is it just me, or has Russia been “losing the war” for the past three years?

    That’s not to denigrate the courage or valour of Ukraine’s fighters, but it seems like every other month there’s an article on Russia’s impending collapse, which never seems to come. Truth is, Russia can probably keep going for as long as Putin remains in power.

  7. Gifted Read:

    Excerpt:

    Smaller powers can, through the intelligent application of attrition, succeed in advancing their own goals. This is particularly true if, like Ukraine, they can exploit technological change and get the most from outside support and allies. Vietnam was outgunned by the United States, as the American colonies were once outgunned by the British empire. Iranian forces outnumbered those of Iraq during a long and brutal war in the 1980s, and lost nonetheless.

  8. Basically another article claiming that Ukraine will win next year if they get more military equipment for free.

    But that’s exactly what’s not going to happen under Trump. I don’t think there’s an equivalent to Himars and ground based AA systems are very expensive. Hopefully the F16 and mirage can be used to shoot down more missiles in the future.

  9. What happens if someone prank call the White House and pretend it’s Putin?

  10. They arnt losing lol!!!! They’re the Russian war machine

  11. Not losing the war but economicly and socially they are getting crushed. The narrative needs to be no peace until Putin is removed

  12. What do you consider winning the war for Ukraine? And what do you consider losing the war for Russia?

    It is easy to sit back and say either side is winning or losing, but if you don’t set out the parameters of what winning and losing actually looks like, stories of winning or losing are meaningless.

    Ukraine has already lowered the age of their draft to 25 because of a shortage of soldiers.

  13. Isn’t this obvious?

    Russia is throwing all out to expose all their agents, including Trump.
