This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

"The T55, T62, T64, T72 and T-80 tanks are now all in service in Ukraine, with Russia recommissioning its antiques having exhausted its stocks of the "modern" tank."
"M/s Alpo
– a tug boat built in the USA in 1943 for the Normandy landings. After surviving there undamaged, the tug came to Finland to carry out post-war mine clearance in the Gulf of Finland. In 1952, the tug moved to Oulu and worked as a harbour tug in Toppilansalmi."https://www.dday-alpo.com/ms-alpo
I have previously wondered in this thread when in the hell Russia would start running out of tanks. Hopefully, they are finally there.
And the 4th straight day with over 1,000 casualties-hope even Russia cannot sustain this for long.
I've given up on the casualties. Their Orwellian state controls messaging and protests so harshly they will never run out of young men to kill. I think the only way it stops is if they don't have equipment to use and weapons to fire.
Russia breached global chemical weapons ban in Ukraine war, US says
WASHINGTON, May 1 (Reuters) - The United States on Wednesday accused Russia of violating the international chemical weapons ban by deploying the choking agent chloropicrin against Ukrainian troops and using riot control agents "as a method of warfare" in Ukraine.
"The use of such chemicals is not an isolated incident and is probably driven by Russian forces' desire to dislodge Ukrainian forces from fortified positions and achieve tactical gains on the battlefield," the State Department said in a statement.

That's going to make Margie's three toe curl in anger!
“They shoot horses, don’t they?” I wonder about traitors.
There needs to be a game changer for Ukraine to to get Russia to retreat. What that is, I don't know. But the slow slog of things isn't going to work. IMHO
Air superiority would be a skrong start.
An edited version that is more cinematic.

This analysis disregards that Ukrainians are dying by the thousands. Do you think Ukraine will come out on top of a war of attrition with Russia?
What they are losing must be retaken, and we’ve witnessed the difficulty of that.
So I ask you again, do you think six months from now the Ukrainians will be in a better position?
Holy crap-talk about moving the goal posts. It is amazing how over the top pro Russia you are and have been for years. And shameful honestly since you are a US citizen. I am sorry you are so butt hurt that Russia is losing (in many ways has already lost) and the west and US have doubled down on their support of Ukraine to continue Russia’s slow dive into military and economic oblivion. And yes, it has come at a cost to the small country with a military not previously even ranked in top 30 that Russia invaded with what was thought to have been the second greatest military in world in a war of Russian aggression and terror.
I haven’t moved any goalposts.
I asked you a question several pages ago that you keep avoiding:
So I ask you again, do you think six months from now the Ukrainians will be in a better position?
She is straight up Q. The transformation is complete. She has been marginalized by Johnson, and the standard right leaning press, but my fear is that only emboldens her, and makes her even louder. Biden should deport her to Russia where she'll be happier and fit in better.
I am not sure. It is fair to assume that Putin has an inexhaustible supply of peasants to burn through, but mass movement has started in the hinterlands in Russia before. It has not been purely the elites of St. Petersburg and Moscow in the vanguard. Media controls are easy, but I wonder how overarching the control will be in regional capitals and small cities? The war is bleeding resources. The post later on yesterday about the continued uprisings in Georgia are big trouble for Putin. Kazakhstan peeling away is big trouble for Putin. Cracks are there, how wide they get, and how can the West nudge them into widening is the question.
Yes. Without a doubt. You already can see a momentum shift. Only thing left now for Putler is to throw everything he has at getting Trump elected and hope funding from US goes away the day Trump is inaugurated. But even then, I think the rest of NATO is on board seeing it through and Russia will continue to spiral downward. As always, you continue to ignore what this massive folly has cost Russia.
Hopefully, but I think that is a resource (other than humans) allocation issue. The resource issue could be decisive. Rounding up meat for the grinder will not be, imho.
This last round of aid will hopefully be massive enough to get Ukraine through it even if Trump takes office.
