But I was told that Ukraine is winning and Russia is in tatters.

    This came through on my news feed today with the headline "Is this the turning point? War in Ukraine"

    Here's the turning point:

    If you can't spot it, it's that tiny blue area in the zaporizhzhia oblast, on the border of the red area.

    What weapons can they be given that are going to fix their manpower issue. Clones? Robots? Weapons don't do much without people to use them, and trained in how to use them properly.

    I suppose a few more teenagers will be old enough to be conscripted by 2025.

    Ukraine is pressuring EU countries who accepted Ukrainian refugees to repatriate Ukrainian men of military age for conscription.

    They're scraping the barrel now and I don't see how they can stave off military collapse even if the EU countries agree.

    Also a breach of international refugee law (being a type of refoulement) but of course what's a violation of international law or two if it's plucky wholesome Ukraine doing it?

    Ukraine is in a tough spot. Normally this situation would hasten your defeat and force you to negotiate a peace (and I'm not sure they'll get their refugees back to conscript). But the Zelensky regime can't sign peace, NATO won't allow it. They have to fight until NATO says stop, and they have no idea when that'll come. Honestly we've been saying "to the last Ukrainian" for a while but it might even go beyond that, if you can imagine it. To the last parcel of Ukrainian land maybe. It's not in their hands at all.

    I can only hope Zelensky and his entire cabinet get what they rightfully deserve at the end of this instead of fucking off to Hawaii where they get to live cozy lives paid by the CIA.

    The wine cave warriors can't hide their bloodlust forever. They want slaughter and conquest on their screens to clink glasses to.

    Huge chance that the west starts deporting refugees back to Ukraine to fight.

    The financers of the war must magically improve production tenfold and then maybe, just maybe, Ukraine might have a chance.

    Either that or they'll decree war economy for us who live 2000 kilometres away from Ukraine.

    That assumes Moscow's weapons production also remains constant.
