stagnant and dying by the great military genius bilensky
if russia continues in this way (2 months of static war in kursk to gain 400 square miles, which ukraine conquered in less than 3 days), it will not only lose its status as a “superpower”, but will even lose its status as a regional power. the world is watching and laughing.
putin is only lucky that it was not actually a deliberate attack, just a test of russian defenses. if the attack was not led by 20.000 ukrainians, but by 200.000 poles, for example, they would stop them somewhere near moscow with such organization and morale.
currently those “ukrainians” that “conquered kursk in 3 days” (lol) are dying like lemmings. the one at the front dies, the next comes in.
i wonder how long they can sustain their “glorious push”.
yes, they are dying at a ratio of 1:5 to russia because the russians were so kind to give them enough time to strengthen their positions, destroy russian supply routes and lay defensive obstacles, such as minefields. and every general know that offensive losses are 3-5 time higher then defensive ones.
oh, definitely. every time the americans launched one of their three-division assaults on japanese-held islands, they lost 300-500% what the japanese did. same with the germans in poland in 1939. so you’re saying that the ukrainians lost 3-5 times what the russians did when the ukrainains attacked in kursk?
silly sot, go smoke more pot… your fantasies are a’dwindlin’
yesterday it was up to 23,000 pushers pushing up daisies. that’s a lot of push.
when it hits 25k tomorrow, an angel will get its wings.
when one looks back at the achievements of the polish miltary in the last hundred years, one can’t help but nod in agreement with you. it’s not like the russians would respond to 200 000 men differently than they have to the 20 000 in kursk. the russians should have definitely pulled more troops to kursk in the manner that the us and ukretardish had hoped.
it was a massive attach by nato’s best troops that only went a few miles if it were 200000 poles they would be still glowing in the dark along with most of poland
yes indeed. had it been a deliberate attack, zelensky would be sitting in the kremlin by now.
bwaaaahaaaahaaahaahaahaa
who precisely is laughing? the german autoworkers?
wiat ’til trump’s 200% tariffs hit those nutspinners.
gay jewboy wishful thinking
lol
you want me to tell you the truth? i won’t.
biletsky will always have his adolf coochie doll to sleep with and assuage his failures.
like lemmings. like sheep to the slaughter.
true eurotard flathead nazis, those “ukrainians” are. or more like orcrainians. mixed with poles and baltic tards.
in fact, for every ukrainian invader eliminated in kursk, there were 4 russian soldiers and one russian civilian killed you lemming. and now russia is busy destroying its own villages, cities and infrastructure with heavy howitzers, tanks and aerial bombs, while ukraine can enjoy blocking no less than 40,000 russians trying (unsuccessfully) to overcome ukraine trenches and dugouts and minefields.
did arestovich give you these figures while you were spooning in post-coital bliss?
these farm areas do not have many cities and infrastructure. btw are you aware that the frontline is steadily moving towards the border and it will be situated in ukraine at a later stage🚀🚀🚀
sure buddy
is amerikunt saxon impersonating me again? why are u amerikunts so stupid insecure feminized?
wish those ukros would invade my pooper!
i will invade your pooper honey!
heheheh
stupo and jens rented me to taliban for 20 years–now i need diapers
what was the point of that last video? to show us how ukrainians are able to drive around russia unimpeded?
unimpeded… they were being watched by the drone moron.
is it up to 25,000 yet? the day’s still young. maybe i’ll check back later.
