But I was told that Ukraine is winning and Russia is in tatters.
Don’t trust your lying memory, Jack
You know, weirdly enough. Back in my idiot libertarian years, I didn’t see the world of :1984: as a representation of “Stalinist Russia” or something. But of neoliberal US and UK… Huh, :1984: was instrumental in me becoming a :red-team:. lol
Despite the crowing about Stalinism, 1984 was absolutely moreso based on the state of the UK at the time. Orwell wrote about how his letters were opened by UK intelligence before getting them, how he felt obligated to write propaganda for the BBC to support the war effort a direct analogue to Winston, democracy was at the time effectively suspended in the UK, and the ‘ministries’ mentioned are direct references to the UK ministries. So you were surely right.
Orwell was a colonial cop, then a BBC propagandist, and anticommunist snitch. He never visited the USSR. Writers are advised “write what you know” because they’ll end up doing so anyway, no matter how hard they try to do otherwise.
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.
Inifinitely prolong the suffering. Nice job, very humane
Moscow by Christmas?
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.
I’m so tired that I thought that I was looking at a map of Vietnam.
The Ukrainian military is within 150km of reaching Ho Chi Minh City 😳
Would be funny if the Ukrainian military just showed up in the South China Sea like that
Lmao, they should’ve made the reclaimed teritorries red for visibility but nooooooo that’s the evil team color! We can’t use that! The good guys are historically blue and so are we! Lmao.
I’ll forever be a
Why are you pretending to be Polish if you don’t know what the Red Army is?
Why do you think they don’t know what the Red Army is?
Every Polish person that is not vehemently anti-communist must not be a Polish person! It simply cannot be possible that a Polish person be communist!
Except that I, Patyk34, lemat_87, PolandIsAStateOfMind, Gosplan from Hexbear exist and are quite visible. Like Polish people are quite a visible minority here, especially since I’m pretty loud about where I’m from.
Every Polish person that is not vehemently anti-communist must not be a Polish person!
This is exactly what i read in literally every single private message from an angry polish redditors XD
Wypierdalaj tępy chuju, możesz mnie pocałować w dupę xD
you don’t get it…once they hit that checkpoint, the red map will turn blue, and that basically means a checkmate for ukraine.
They will use the wunderwaffe

how? generally how? By freezing the conflict? - Nope russia will not allow it
By ramping up production of military supplies? - Nope the west cannot provide the same support annually to ukraine, several US officials confirmed this, and say the support will dwindle in 2024.
On the other hand, Russia has organized their army, assimilated militias/paramilitary groups, upped military production significantly, and is waiting until the offensive dies down so it can bombard ukraine over the winter.
There looks to be russian offensive somewhere in 2024, so no, ukraine won’t win by 2025, by the looks of it, they’ll lose in 2024.
That assumes Moscow’s weapons production also remains constant.
And Ukraine also managing to “produce” increasing number of new soldiers.
