4 months to go, lads, until shit turns cold again, all the fun fun fun grinds to a halt, and morons start banging on about eurogays freezing to death (although they never do).
What are you predictions for the Ukraine battlefield come the end of October?
I am willing to eat ramen all these nights and use public transport if that means returning Ukraine back to 2014 borders, just in case I am investing renewable energy funds so Russia doesnt have a future.
Frick Putin, frick ziggers.
you count nuclear as renewable energy right?
I wouldn't count it as renewable, but it is clean energy.
Depends on the type and/or country, and yes, this means not giving a cent to anyone buying as much as a unprocessed uranium to Russia or involving them through third parties, I know that trick.
Nuclear energy is somewhat renewable if you can recycle or reuse spent rods. I remember reading about certain Nuclear Reactors being able to use spent rods.
If you burn all the coal and realise there's still a little coal left in there I wouldn't count that as renewable
public transport is the luxury
Trenches freeze over and ground becomes too hard to dig mines out
No zaporizhia reservoir means the dniper might just freeze over and become easily crossable too
>No zaporizhia reservoir means the dniper might just freeze over and become easily crossable too
That would be fricking grand.
It's not the cold that stops the fighting. Last winter was too warm to freeze the ground, which caused it to be impractical for major offensive operations.
>eurogays freezing to death
I fricking wish, it's currently +35C daily here.

Ukraine makes one more major coup like kharkiv last year, but barely any progress elsewhere. Western powers promise F16, more artillery shells, longe range missiles and abrams, which will totally be a gamechanger (for real this time guys!). Next year ukraine may make some real gains (entire donbass or crimea) or not, but either way it will sue for peace at the resultant occupation borders in late 2024, which russia will accept.
But you know, I know kind of little about everything, so don't mind me.
>but either way it will sue for peace at the resultant occupation borders in late 2024
I read this and think this may be b8 but it may be actually a zigger. Its skilfully done. Just deluded and deranged enough but not too hysterical
Oh I'm terribly sorry I don't believe in the historical inevitability of overwhelming ukrainian victory. Clearly I'm a russian shill trying to demoralize american gun nuts who couldn't find ukraine on a map before 2022.
Ever seen a car or truck tip over a cliff edge? The way it slides slowly until its center of gravity passes the edge, then suddenly accelerates and falls in almost an instant? The same happens on battlefields.

Hot water bottles and lidl special offers. Its tough going especially the Christmas food special offers. I don't know if I can make it this year.
Tokmak falls by late august/september
Total artillery death continues until russian artillery crews become an endangered species
Russia will announce another winter offensive, but sadly won't do anything funny this time
Russian logistics will continue deteriorating
Rouble hits 110:1 vs USD
New trench lines start construction early in winter
ATACMS announced at some point
I live in Alberta. This war was a financial godsend for our economy. Oil prices up. Gas prices up. Wheat prices up. Basically everything my province produces has become in demand. The longer sanctions on Russia last, the more oil, gas, wheat, fertilizer, etc.. can be exported from Alberta due to Russian sanctions. I think Ukraine is going too fast and should slow down and kill more Russians more methodically. We should send them more weapons to kill more Rusians. The war and sanctions should never 3nd. TZD.
I could see top-right occurring if Donald does the needful in 2025 and kills all Ukraine aid on Day 1 (which I'm not convinced he'd do even if he got in, but as far as hypotheticals go it's more plausible than the three million Chinese soldiers). Most likely we got middle-right followed by a frozen conflict, with the Ukrainians hoping to retake Crimea when Russia just collapses into bankruptcy and warlordism.
I would say Novorossiya (with Kherson liberated by Ukraine), Liberated LDPR, Day 1 Borders, and Back to 2014 are the most plausible outcomes to the war. Best outcome would be Back to 2014, but in reality it would be Liberated LDPR or Novorossiya.
I predict one of the two upper right outcomes by winter
I doubt that Melitopol will be in Russian hands past August
there's just one scenario missing from your image
