Posts: 657Misrepresentation between total forces and actual forces used?
Gonzalo Lira gave the number of Russian troops assigned to the invasion. You gave the total number of Russian troops available. Many of the Russian troops are posted on the Chinese or other borders and are not available for use in Ukraine since they are protecting distant regions. I googled and found this number of troops from a neutral website link posted below which roughly agrees with the number of Russian troops that Gonzalo Lira said were being used. Since Ukraine doesn't have to defend its border with Poland, it has freed up Ukie troops but still has not stopped Russia from taking the Donbass region. Seems to me Gonzalo Lira is correct!
Also, why are you still posting here? Shouldn't you be at the Ukrainian Embassy as was suggested a few days ago, taking the Ukie military oath for the International Legion and preparing to take your place in the trenches on the Eastern Front near the Donbass?
I suspect the biggest battle will be to get the chickenhawks, keyboard commandos and call of duty Rambos from their mommies basement and get them enlisted in the Ukie Legion! The Ukies should be able to draft a brigade of chickenhawks off of ISG posters that drool for war but refuse to leave their Xbox game consoles and head out to the Ukrainian trenches where they demand the rest of us be sent! LOL.
How many troops has Russia sent into invasion of Ukraine?
Estimates of the total number of Russian forces involved in the invasion of Ukraine vary but around 150,000 troops are thought to be deployed in total.

You also forgot to tally the unofficial and official assistance of the US Army as shown in the original attached photo entering Ukraine! The power of US Diversity and Gay Pride will defeat Russian Masculinity and the Patriarchy! LOL!

LOL In case no one has noticed the Ruskies have a penchant for silly conspiracy theories just like the MAGAs, and the stance is always that of victimization while acting as the aggressor. That better explains Trump's role as Russo suck up while some of his followers have taken the same cue, shameful and unAmerican.

Occasionally, maybe you could write a post about a girl or getting laid. I spent Saturday in MTY and now I am CDMX, having a great trip. You are probably slumming somewhere in Colombia, chasing fat chicks.

" That isn't an option for them nor do they want it, irrespective of Zelensky. It's also not an option for the West to look the other way at this aggression against a democratic partner.
You are delusional in that your analysis is way overly simplistic with use of the black and white thinking fallacy. There are other possible outcomes besides a complete Russian defeat and surrender or else Ukraine should bend over and grab their ankles.

There's unlikely to be any clear cut winner and loser as in one side unconditionally surrenders. Even if Russia managed to occupy Ukraine there would still be armed resistance. Occupying territory is one thing. Holding it is another. Russia isn't going to use nukes as that's suicide. Even if only tactical nukes they'd lose the few friends they have left in the world. So with that hardly at risk and NATO weapons and greater motivation among the Ukrainians in play, it's a pretty fair fight. Russian casualties and humiliation have been high, and it would be much worse if our weapons support wasn't restrained and delayed. Your prediction of Ukrainian demise within one week proved not only laughable, but the Ruskies lost key battles running from Kyiv and Kharkiv. Make a video game of that. Currently the Ukrainians are staging counter offensives in the South. The outcome will likely come at the negotiating table where Ukraine will be in a much better position than your bend over and grab their ankles, throw their identity, culture, women, and children to the wolves suggestion. While Russia has already lost the war with the failures of their key objectives, embarrassments on the battlefield, weighty economic sanctions, and worldwide pariah status.

From the Western perspective, we've done what we had to do, sent the message that if one wants to change borders in Europe with aggression then there will be consequences. The appeasement you suggest of course invites more aggression. Thankfully that's how our politicians and most Americans see it. If that troubles you then you are free to surrender the freedoms you are enjoying and move to totalitarian Russia, say something they don't like, get caught with a joint and spend 15 years in Siberia. But instead you'll just hang out in the US all day posting in Stupid Shit in Kyiv. None of your predictions have panned out so far so we'll see how it goes. That or tell us all about everything you heard and saw in the Ukraine when we know you've never been. Wink.
P.S. Gas prices dropping, 50+ days and running.

Posts: 657More support for your statement below from Gonzalo Lira:
"For those new to this blog and unfamiliar with TTG, TTG is a retired US Army Special Forces officer of Lithuanian heritage. He no longer thinks rationally about war. His hatred of all things Russian cloud his judgment. He asserts that I am drinking Moscow's kool-aid because I point out the obvious–Russia is winning and will defeat Ukraine completely and decisively. TTG insists that the arrival of HIMARS and M777's are game changers and, wait for it, the Ukrainians will mount the ultimate offensive and push the Russians back to Moscow. Normally, I would not want to waste time to engage such nonsense but in this case I think it is warranted.
. . The fact that Ukraine had a three to one advantage and were embedded in defensive positions should have led to the defeat of the Russians. One of the traditional military doctrines is that an army fighting a foe who is on the defense must have at least a three to one advantage if they have any hope of prevailing in the fight. Well guess what–Russia has turned that doctrine on its head. We now have a case study (on-going) of the first time that an inferior force (in terms of numbers) is steadily defeating an entrenched, fortified enemy with three times the numbers. There is not one area in Ukraine where the Ukraine army has pushed the Russians out of territory they have occupied and held it against Russian counter attacks. Not one. The Russian feint towards Kiev in early March does not count. Western propaganda insists this was a tremendous Ukrainian victory. But Russia used that operation to fix Ukrainian forces around Kiev so that the Russian, Donetsk and Luhansk forces could mass for the offensive to retake the Donbas. And that is exactly what the Special Military Operation has been doing over the last five months.
The only "offense" we are seeing from Ukraine is the shelling of civilians in the Donbas. This does highlight one shortcoming of the Russian SMO–the lack of effective, comprehensive counter battery fire. It is worth noting that the areas being targeted by Ukraine are in the Western part of the Donbas occupied by Russia and its allied Republics (I. E. , Donetsk and Luhansk). Killing a few civilians in cities in the Donbas with indiscriminate shelling–while horrific for the families who loose loved ones–does not win the war for Ukraine. In fact, it reinforces its image as a lawless violator of human rights. Still, it is up to Russia to put in place the necessary intelligence platforms required to quickly identify the source of the fires and destroy them. Ukrainian artillery and HIMMARS will not stop Russia's allied offensive and force a retreat. Neither will it force a stalemate. Russia has defacto air supremacy and has intact tank battalions and a plethora of artillery and missiles that it continues to rain down on Ukrainian forces. . . ".
