      just because russia's definition of an offensive is a mad dash into enemey territory with no control doesnt mean that other militaries would do the same. im not sure what you'd expect an ukrainian offensive to look like, but it certainly wouldnt mirror russian tactics

              I doubt it'll be a sweeping success like the North, but I imagine it'll still be faster than Russias artillery crawl. Russia is terminally reliant on trains for logistics, and they've demonstrated in inability to defend them. Any Ukie pushes will be preceded by months of chipping away rear echelon and support, then letting the front fall apart.

    Both sides are resting, except Ukraine is sending himars and drones to rack up kills. And Russia continues spamming arty at whatever is in range.
    Ukraine needs to see a significant collapse in equipment or ammo/fuel on the Russian side via himars destruction. And the fuel ammo equipment supply to Ukraine to at the minimum increase to 1 to 1 with Russian supply. Not until it's 1 to 1 will Ukraine advance on anything, it should be 4 or 10 to 1 like Russia had attacked with, but Ukraine will never reach that equipment level.

    If things become hopeless in Ukraine I assume Putin will order a retreat to Russia and annexation of Belarus and tell the Russian people they need to hunker down for the coming NATO invasion.

          He isn't. It's like Zeno's paradox of Achilles and the tortoise, when you get very close, but never actually reach the target (in our case, integration with Russia). Though it doesn't negate the fact that Putin might just do what the Soviets did prior to the war in Afghanistan.

            The guy's been fighting tooth and nail to avoid getting annexed for the last 20+ years ever since he dig himself into a hole by proposing integration into the Union State hoping to snatch the presidency of the entirety of Russia from Yeltsin only for Putin to come in and steal the cake. Luka is now backed up against the wall after the 2020 protests now, though and knows that he has to dance as Putin sees fit because he'd be hanging off a lamp post if it wasn't for him.
            Ironically enough a lot of Belarusians would prefer getting annexed to having the Bulbanator stay in charge.

            No, not after the war started. There are voices even that despite Luka being shitty and shit, he's the only force that keeps Belarus independent (or not annexed at least). Yes, he's bad, yes, he created that situation in the first place, but the alternative is so much worse that we'd better stand by him just this once.

              Neither Ukraine nor Ukrainians matter when it come to nuclear game.
              Basically the current nuclear powers have made an guarantee to frick up anyone who uses nukes offensively, so that the non-nuclear countries do not need to seek their own nuclear arsenals.
              If that promise gets broken without repercussions regardless of who does it or where, every single country will get their own nuclear arsenals. And nobody wants that.

                If a nuclear power isn't punished for nuking a non-nuclear power, that's how you get Saudi Arabia, Australia, Japan, South Korea, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, going nuclear as well, because then only having a nuke can stop another nuclear power.

            How many Russian soldiers are in Ukraine compared to Ukrainian ones? Combat troops, not support staff and cooks. It seems like Russia is not using many at all because they want to drag this war on and on and on for propaganda reasons to get the West out and make their people think that they're isolated and need to repolarize away from the West in general. Hence the longer war.

              We don't know how many "combat troops" there are exactly, considering that Russia loves to split up its armed forces into a lot of smaller, specialised portions (e.g. there are Railway Troops).
              We also don't know how accurate the official numbers are and what the casualties are.
              Based on (unreliable) numbers from mostly Russian sources, we can speculate on how many have "entered" Ukraine (including it's territorial waters and airspace) - at least 500k combatants, including mechanized infantry, tank crews, artillerymen, air pilots and sailors. This includes the combat elements of VDV (Airborne), Morskaya (Marines), conventional ground forces, Rosgvardia (National Guard equivalent), airfield guard units and some of the "frontline" elements from the Railway Troops, logistics troops tha need to go to the front, etc.
              Many more are safely away from the front but still take an active role in the war, e.g. everybody in Strategic Missile troops and most of the VVS (Airforce).

                Russia had massive reserves. They are burning through them super fast to keep everything afloat. Once reserves run out in a year or two max it's fricking Venezuela time.

                Did it make that big of a difference?

                Russia would have lost ww2 in 4 months if it wasn't for the USA literally running their entire war economy, for free. What a waste too, we didn't need those fricks to beat hitler but FDR is a cuck who burns in hell for selling out to socialism and extending the depression for 7 years. Frick that cripple c**t, I'd go back in time just to kill him and make sure ike leads the entire war.

                This is an interesting theory. What makes you think that made the difference in WW2 when it seems like all of the stuff the USSR used was Soviet?

                >Weird. How did the USSR beat Nazi Germany but modern Russia can't beat Ukraine?
                The west backed Russia during WW2
                The west is currently backing Ukraine
                I think you should be able to figure out the rest

                This is correct, Russia is being defeated largely by Ukraine on its own, all the west is doing at this point is supplying ammunition and intelligence
                Imagine therefore how fricked the soviets would have been had they received so little support against the Germans

                Why though? I don't get why if the USA hated the USSR so much.

                >In a confidential interview with the wartime correspondent Konstantin Simonov, the Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov is quoted as saying:
                >Today [1963] some say the Allies didn't really help us ... But listen, one cannot deny that the Americans shipped over to us material without which we could not have equipped our armies held in reserve or been able to continue the war

                >Nikita Khrushchev, future premier of the USSR, admitted in his memoirs that Lend-Lease was vital: “Just imagine how we would have advanced from Stalingrad to Berlin without [American transport]. Our losses would have been colossal because we would have had no manoeuvrability...Without [US food supplies] we wouldn’t have been able to feed our army. We had lost our most fertile lands — the Ukraine and the northern Caucasus.”
                >Khrushchev went further and admitted: “Several times I heard Stalin acknowledge [Lend-Lease] within the small circle of people around him. He said that...if we had had to deal with Germany one-to-one we would not have been able to cope because we lost so much of our country.”
                >Perhaps the last word should be left to Marshal Georgy Zhukov, who masterminded the Red Army victories. He admitted, in a bugged conversation in 1963, that without Lend-Lease the USSR “could not have continued the war”.

                he probably isn't asking in good faith, but here's more info:
                >Such assessments, however, are contradicted by the opinions of Soviet war participants. Most famously, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin raised a toast to the Lend-Lease program at the November 1943 Tehran conference with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt.
                >"I want to tell you what, from the Russian point of view, the president and the United States have done for victory in this war," Stalin said. "The most important things in this war are the machines.... The United States is a country of machines. Without the machines we received through Lend-Lease, we would have lost the war."
                >Nikita Khrushchev offered the same opinion.
                >"If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war," he wrote in his memoirs. "One-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially, and Stalin never, I think, left any written traces of his opinion, but I can say that he expressed this view several times in conversations with me."

                I accept that surrender, too.

                Your source was 10 years old at the start of WW2 and made his comments in 2015 when the Russian state (which he is a part of in his capacity as a politician) had long since down played the contribution of others to the eventual victory in WW2.

                So you'll support the secret whispers argument over the raw numbers one even though they both come from politicians? Very facts-based and cool.

                >It says in Wikipedia the soviets produced 100 brazilion tanks and trucks

                it's dishonest to compared percentages, the lend-lease program was essential because it gave time for a semi rural shithole like the soviet union to panic industrialize and built factories from scratch to the far east.
                Obviously once the soviet production capabilities went into overdrive, the numbers were insignificant, but what about before?

                >Obviously once the soviet production capabilities went into overdrive, the numbers were insignificant, but what about before?
                Finally we are getting somewhere. The USSR never had the chance to even do anything with the 3-5% of resources from the allies outside of localized relief because the Germans had already lost the war at that point (they didn't know it yet) as they failed to reach all of their objectives in the first year. There's no way Stalin's forces could have lost WW2 when Hitler was leading the opposition. Probably anyone else could have done a better job than him.

                >he totally whispered to me and his inner circle
                Khrushchev, who fought against the Nazis in Kiev and was appointed by Stalin to be the main link between him and the military, said so
                You are being intentionally bad faith
                Khrushchev's memoirs are a trustworthy source. Zhukov is trustworthy in these matters as well. Stalinist revisionism and 1990s politicians aren't.

                >The Short History Of The Great Patriotic War, also from 1948, acknowledged the Lend-Lease shipments, but concluded: "Overall this assistance was not significant enough to in any way exert a decisive influence over the course of the Great Patriotic War."

                Literally yes, lmao. There was a brief period where it looked like we might all be able to get along post war, but then the USSR decided to go all iron curtain authoritarian instead of liberalising in peacetime, so we got the cold war.

                Are you 14? You're typing like you've never read a book on cold war history.

                I don't know why you would be claiming there were thoughts the USSR would become liberal. What would be interesting is hearing WHY if the Allies went to war over Poland, WHY did they not go for the USSR when they invaded Poland alongside Germany. They just attacked Germany.

                The USSR wasn't modern-day Russia.

                There were thoughts to do so when Winter War happened. Allies just decided to wait a bit and it paid off - in less than 2 years Germany itself attacked the USSR.

                Dude, frick off you are being obstinate.

                Weeks, A. L. (2004). Russia's Life-saver: Lend-lease Aid to the USSR in World War II. Lexington Books.

                Kucherenko, O. (2021). Lend-Lease in war and Russian memory. In The Memory of the Second World War in Soviet and Post-Soviet Russia (pp. 155-179). Routledge.

                Nikolai Ryzhkov, the last head of the government of the Soviet Union, wrote in 2015 that "it can be confidently stated that [Lend-Lease assistance] did not play a decisive role in the Great Victory."

                Such assessments, however, are contradicted by the opinions of Soviet war participants. Most famously, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin raised a toast to the Lend-Lease program at the November 1943 Tehran conference with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt.

                "I want to tell you what, from the Russian point of view, the president and the United States have done for victory in this war," Stalin said. "The most important things in this war are the machines.... The United States is a country of machines. Without the machines we received through Lend-Lease, we would have lost the war."

                Nikita Khrushchev offered the same opinion.

                "If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war," he wrote in his memoirs. "One-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially, and Stalin never, I think, left any written traces of his opinion, but I can say that he expressed this view several times in conversations with me."

                Maybe actually give a source then and not a blogpost that says the lend-lease was no big deal. It's in your very link. Yet I am supposed to think that these whispers about it being the best thing ever for the USSR is the true historical perspective? Get out of here with that wikipedia-tier source linking.

                >"In a hypothetical battle one-on-one between the U.S.S.R and Germany, without the help of Lend-Lease and without the diversion of significant forces of the Luftwaffe and the German Navy and the diversion of more than one-quarter of its land forces in the fight against Britain and the United States, Stalin could hardly have beaten Hitler," Sokolov wrote in an essay for RFE/RL's Russian Service.

                >In 1963, KGB monitoring recorded Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov saying: "People say that the allies didn't help us. But it cannot be denied that the Americans sent us materiel without which we could not have formed our reserves or continued the war. The Americans provided vital explosives and gunpowder. And how much steel! Could we really have set up the production of our tanks without American steel? And now they are saying that we had plenty of everything on our own."

We had lost our most fertile lands — the Ukraine and the northern Caucasus.”

                I think the problem is that Russia really seems to have not planned at all for the possibility of them failing to take Kyiv in 3 days or failing to achieve any real objectives in the first month. Putin/Russia was huffing so much of their own domestic propaganda they couldn't possible see it happening. Now they are stuck with at best a pyrrhic victory just to try and save what little face they can at this point. I could see Russia dragging it out for a few years until they can spin some extremely minor success as a win and then leave in a hurry. I doubt Russia will have the ability to hold onto any of the small gains they have made long term. They would have the be in Ukraine perpetually for that to happen.

        What's your point?

        Combat troops usually amount to less than 10% of the total number that are "in theater" or nearby in a supporting role.

        I am aware. So how many does each side have?

        [...]

        lol cute dance I guess.

        >It's boring

        Sure thing. Russia's fricking up and it's kino

        Just a random tank rolling on fire? What happened to it? lol

        We don't know how many "combat troops" there are exactly, considering that Russia loves to split up its armed forces into a lot of smaller, specialised portions (e.g. there are Railway Troops).
        We also don't know how accurate the official numbers are and what the casualties are.
        Based on (unreliable) numbers from mostly Russian sources, we can speculate on how many have "entered" Ukraine (including it's territorial waters and airspace) - at least 500k combatants, including mechanized infantry, tank crews, artillerymen, air pilots and sailors. This includes the combat elements of VDV (Airborne), Morskaya (Marines), conventional ground forces, Rosgvardia (National Guard equivalent), airfield guard units and some of the "frontline" elements from the Railway Troops, logistics troops tha need to go to the front, etc.
        Many more are safely away from the front but still take an active role in the war, e.g. everybody in Strategic Missile troops and most of the VVS (Airforce).

        Ok, so then what are the combat ratios of each army? 3:1? 10:1? What?

          We know even less about Ukraine's numbers than Russia's. Purely by the official size of their reserves it's something like 1-2 in favor of Russia (assuming that most of the navy and a lot of the garrison troops cannot be sent to Ukraine for obvious reasons).

        People are citing Soviet sources to prove lend-lease worked, yet I have just as many saying it was basically marginal at best between 3-5% of the USSR's production with numbers to back it up. All the lend-lease shills are saying "ooo, Stalin didn't leave any notes about it, but he totally whispered to me and his inner circle that this is what won us the war" is a nothingburger.

                Wdym "under the USSR"? The whole central Europe was under the USSR in that case.

                USSR abused Poland just as bad as Germany, but the entire reason the allies went to war was to protect its sovereignty and dignity from molestation. So they just declare war on Germany? Imagine being Poland and still trusting the West.

                The entire reason was to stop Hitler, no more and no less. Allies didn't like the Soviets at all, but they couldn't afford another full-scale war against a newborn superpower, especially after nukes were invented, which doesn't mean they didn't consider that option (operation "Unthinkable" and like the whole Cold War stuff)

                A newborn superpower they let happen during WW2 with their aid. What a load of shit. Allies should have just DW'd Germany and have at them rather than jack it like they're saving poor Poland.

          it's dishonest to compared percentages, the lend-lease program was essential because it gave time for a semi rural shithole like the soviet union to panic industrialize and built factories from scratch to the far east.

      [...]
      >Obviously once the soviet production capabilities went into overdrive, the numbers were insignificant, but what about before?
      Finally we are getting somewhere. The USSR never had the chance to even do anything with the 3-5% of resources from the allies outside of localized relief because the Germans had already lost the war at that point (they didn't know it yet) as they failed to reach all of their objectives in the first year. There's no way Stalin's forces could have lost WW2 when Hitler was leading the opposition. Probably anyone else could have done a better job than him.

      [...]

        No, all the stuff they put in their propaganda reels was Soviet. They made use of a frickload of US and British planes and tanks, up to ~30%. But the real help was that all their logistics was built on the back of US and British trains and trucks, most of their food was being grown in the US and Canada and don't even get me started on shit like boots.

        USSR purposely made out post war that they did it all on their own, but records of candid conversations and the delivery paperwork says otherwise

        So the USSR gets support from a nation that hates it and wanted it to fall to the Whites in the Civil War, but then the Cold War breaks out and they just go back to subverting one another? Wow, very based USA.
