"Paratroopers of the Ukrainian 25th Airborne Brigade shot down a Su-25 and hit another Su-30 which they said was down. 25th Brigade operates in northern Donetsk and leads attacks around Lyman"
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

"September 10: Soldiers #Ukraine fire rocket launchers at reportedly a Russian BMP-3 tracked armored infantry fighting vehicle and then go to finish it off and commandeer a Russian truck. "
Putin has gone full Hitler. Issued "No retreat, no surrender" orders. Mobilization is only supported by 10% of populace. He likely will not survive to see Chrustmas.
If security service support wanes, he is toast. Dunno if the Army officer corps has the stones or the means to stop this slaughter.
How many times must these bastards display this struggle truly is between good and evil?
This is so effing sad. JFC Putin is a monster.
Yet no one in that country will kill him.
I got an expensive bottle of bubbly when it happens yo!
My one concern is that it will be like removing Saddam when what filled the void was even worse.
It's wishful thinking, at some point you're going to need to acknowledge that the Russian people support him and would rather take Ukraine than face that it can't. Who stole the military equipment? Putin's opponents. Who won't fight for Russia? Spoiled entitled tech workers in the cities. Etc. Etc.
He's going to have to die of natural causes, or Russia's going to have to lose militarily and be partitioned before there is no Putin. He exists because the Russian people have delusions of grandeur. He's a symptom, not the illness.

Precisely my point. Well said, thus my hatred of Russians.
Nah, Crimea needs returned.
It’s funny, I am 48 and grew up in the wheelhouse of the Cold War hating “commies”, especially after what Drago did to Apollo Creed. Then the wall came down and I was really excited for the east to join the west. And stayed excited. Then Russia started doing Russian things in Syria, and Ukraine (pre 2022). The had me concerned but still hopeful they loved western things too much to eschew the west. But now here we are and the repulsive ugliness of their government and military is just horrible. Lots of the people now throwing a fit about mobilization were at best tolerant of the invasion previously, but many cheered it on viewing Ukrainians as insects. I really do hate Russia now for real reasons. It is going to take a LONG time for them to dig out from this on the world stage…
Will the companies that stayed finally find their morality?
Much better video.
As Ukrainian president, how many lives would you put on it?
1,000?
10,000?
100,000?
1,000,000?
More?
It’s a terrible calculus to have to face.
It's like they are recruiting in front of Kinnick before a night game.
As many as it takes. There is no going back now. Putin shall be given no way out except to leave Ukraine territory or face the destruction of his military and economy.
I know you want Putin to survive this but as has been said, he screwed up Majorly and there is now no good option for him.
How many deaths would Americans be willing to take to repel an invader to the United States? As many as it takes!
Exactly right. 92% of Ukrainians want to fight until all land is free. This is their Revolutionary War/War of 1812. How long would America fight for Florida, or New England? There is no escape for Russia. Putin will not survive this.
