Changing sentiments of Ukrainian citizens

a reply to: RickyD

Most of the good soldiers and conscriptable men have already died or are so wounded they cant fight...

Should be a cakewalk for Russia now then surely?

I may choose not to hold my breath.

Legally yes there are exemptions...but recruiters have been given an inpossibke task to replace the losses they have sustained...so they will literally "take" anyone they can.

Every day I watch geo located reports from the front lines...every day for almost a month now has been nothing but ukraine losing territory. Also thise gains are getting bigger and bigger by the week. I will go out on a limb and say in my own opinion ukraine well be completely overrun in less than 6 months.

What with all the HIMARS launchers Russia has destroyed...

a reply to: BedevereTheWise

Pretty sure they have destroyed some...along with a few patriot batteries

People have been predicting Ukraines imminent defeat since the beginning. Yet here we are almost 2 years on.

You know this, how?

For someone who doesn't care about Ukraine or Russia you sure seem to have a downer on Ukraine.

The video you posted used the term 'special needs' not 'disabled' so we need specifics.

english.nv.ua...

However, I can't argue the fact that they will take special needs persons who can function well in certain positions. It's just common sense to me considering their desperation for troops.

Can you tell me who is going to fight this war next year? Most of the fighting age males are either dead or so wounded they cant fight. Something I pointed out almost 2 years ago...russia just has more people...flat out. If they kill similar numbers each russia will always win. Now in reality Russia is killing more of them than it loses but those numbers are hard to get concrete values for with each side lying to benefit themselves.

That dude is obviously handicapped...in a trench...on the front...with a stick...and he himself says his commanders said to get a weapon off a russian in battle. They fact he seems to believe and trust that goes to show his mental handicap

Men aged 18-60 years without certain exemptions were/are not allowed to leave the country, so men are turning 25 years old every day. Never-ending supply of troops on the way?

Who knows the actual situation, could PTSD play a role? We just don't know.

Wars are rarely decided by population and most of the evidence is Russia is losing more troops and equipment.

You constantly make anti Ukraine claims based on your say so.

I choose to take them with a pinch of salt.

a reply to: quintessentone

No...that is not PTSD and if you really believe that I can't really debate this with you as that's would mean you are denying reality. Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub can tell that guy has no business in the front or in uniform. He has a F&#*ing stick and its not even unironically...

a reply to: BedevereTheWise

Then you have done no actual looking into this past western media which lies just as hard as russian media. Why not give a browse through geo located reports...they tell a different story.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

I haven't posted in a ukraine thread on months actually...not sure what or who you have me confused for but you seem confused.

What you never take with a pinch of salt is reports that confirm your bias...and it shows and makes you look like a silly ignorant sycophant.

At the end of the day I follow this war out of military and current events curiosity...no matter what happens or who wins as long as WWIII doesnt actually happen...I could careless which s#&%%y side wins a s#&%%y war. I am just not gonna rah rah one side because my country backed them...when I dont agree with what my own country has done and is doing.

It's one soldier's experience or mental degradation, which you choose to make it a global issue well it's not conducive of the whole picture and I never said he should be or should not be at the front - it's not anyone's call but his commanding officer. Why they put him in uniform well we just don't have that information, now do we? Neither do we have any information as to his mental health before the front and during the front experiences.

Same here, I just follow current events which includes the war in Ukraine and have an opinion, nothing more on my side either. I do take exception when people post one example of something they think is going on on a wider scale, without proof.
