Russian is acquiring territory at a rate of
100 dead/km². Another50 million dead, and they'll control all of Ukraine.
There are more than 50 million Russians, so it's doable.
So smart.
Yet he forgets that Ukraine is about to mobilise their 18 years old. And that Russian captured in 2024 more than in 2023 and all their big gains happened the last 3 months.
Why look at those facts if it will make things look bad for Ukraine ? I mean Ukraine is going to win any moment they get the game changer… wait he ain't talking about Ukrainian victory, what happened ? 
Area taken really doesn't show the full picture. You could probably calculate that it would take something like 100 years for Russia to take the whole of Ukraine. However neither Russia or Ukraine can't keep this level of warfare up more than a few years at most. One of them will eventually collapse either from lack of manpower/equipment or due to economy.
Shut up stupid Redditor
This. One of them is going to give up because both are really, really struggling. Both are running out if people. Both are irritating their allies. Both are getting increasingly desperate.
Exactly
The difference is that Russia is running on volunteers while Ukraine is conscription. Most of those volunteers come from the most impoverished areas of Russia and even from foreign countries. Russia can keep the war going much longer than Ukraine
Shut up no truth Russian soldiers having low moral

Well, this ignores the fact that Russia is losing its position in the world (like in Syria) and that its economy is increasingly in trouble. It also misses the fact that the motivations are dramatically different. The Ukrainians are fighting for their very survival, they have very little incentive to surrender. The Russians are fighting for pride and money, which means they just want it all to wrap up quickly. The Ukrainians are far more committed to their fight than the Russians who are just there for a paycheck.
Exactly !
Ukrainian Journ*list Yuriy Butusov confirmed that 1,700 soldiers from 155th mechanized brigade "Anna Kyivska", which was trained in France and sent to Pokrovsk deserted before the first battle. He added that the brigade commander was dismissed immediately after the battle, and…

Ukrainian so motivated that after half year training in France they run away from their first battle. Not the second or third but first 
Majority of Ukrainian dislike Zelenskyy, don't want 18 year old mobilised are ready to give up the territory
Burgers cuts the nafo budget and all the "combat Russian misinformation" budget. Media starts painting digits that tell majority of European now want it all just end 
Ahmad Al Sharaa said in an interview with Saudi Arabian state-owned news outlet Al Arabiya this weekend. "We do not want Russia to leave Syria in the way that some wish."
Al Sharaa, still better known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammad Al Jolani (and other simply just as Jolani), is head of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which led the rebel coalition that deposed Assad.
"All of Syria's arms are of Russian origin, and many power plants are managed by Russian experts," Al Sharaa further told Al Arabiya, while also highlighting the "deep strategic interests" of what he described as the "second most powerful country in the world."
Was insisting to me that Russian run away from that base like almost a month ago. Except Ukraine and EU (that ain't even part of that Syrian party) ain't interested in Russian leaving Syria. Redditors are too stupid to understand Israel, US, Turkey and the new Syrian gov won't benefit from Russian leaving.

Since start of the war Russia conducted a semi mobilization for reserves
Meanwhile ukraine conducted six mobilization efforts in 2014 and 2015 Since the start of the war Ukraine have conducted countless mobilization and Ukraine has been snatching people from streets for year and half now
Antony blinken said in interview that Ukraine Basically has more equipment than troops at this point of time and they need to mobilize fast and also No increase in equipments will save them
Stupid Redditor making sense
With Trump as president, Ukraine will fall. It's a sad reality but we need to start admitting it.
This is smart Redditor, despite Ukraine last victory was on October 3rd 2022 so more than 50% of Biden presidency was without Ukrainian victories. So next years you will hear from them that Ukraine lost because of Trump 
Because if Biden had won then Ukrainian demographics would been fixed. Can you argue with it ? You can't because you ain't multiverse creature that can test it 
russia will collapse in 2025

Two things can be true at the same time.
— Andrew Perpetua (@AndrewPerpetua) December 10, 2024
Russia is advancing south of Pokrovsk, at huge sacrifice. Taking monstrous casualties and capturing a very small amount of land.
Ukrainian forces there are overwhelmingly outnumbered and feel hopeless as a result.
Both are true.
It actually isn’t a good result for Russia to shove a division into a fight with a few battalions and end up taking catastrophic casualties while capturing not much land. No matter how hopeless and overwhelmed the defenders feel.
— Andrew Perpetua (@AndrewPerpetua) December 10, 2024
I know a lot of people are currently obsessed with Russia’s advances in Ukraine, but I personally see these advances as largely a failure of the Russian military. They are dumping entire Divisions directly into combat and advancing a few km while sustaining absolutely…

Ukraine has two extremely toxic problems that should have been addressed a long time ago, but never were.
— Andrew Perpetua (@AndrewPerpetua) December 11, 2024
First, there is this pervasive idea that being mobilized into the military is basically a death sentence. Which is entirely untrue.
First, there is this pervasive idea that being mobilized into the military is basically a death sentence. Which is entirely untrue.
Ukraine literally didn't had any demobilisation the only way you get delisted from army in Ukraine is if you lose combat capability
Second, there is this idea that once mobilized, you can no longer contribute to the economy. This is asinine. Of course they can. There are many models of mobilization that allow people to keep their jobs and continue working while also being trained.

Ukraine has shortened the training requirements and so did eu for Ukrainian
So this homo suggest that Ukraine that is short on men power and has hard time replacing loses will just for lol train some guy to send him back to his regular job ? 
This homo banned me but you can see he is genius. He believes that Ukraine has 6-12 months training and will do it 2 times Ukraine officially has 8 weeks training and in reality 2-3 and he talks about 100 weeks training
Then he finish of with this
Russian government: we have manpower problems

Russian military: we have manpower problems
Russian soldiers: we have manpower problems
People on twitter: RUSSIA HAS INFINITE MANPOWER AND WILL LAST FOREVER
And blocks comments because he wants to believe Russian having as much problems as Russian
I mean legendary frog brigade proved this point
Remember they haven't even really mobilized yet.

So back to the front lines
Russian forces have completed the capture of Kurakhove. pic.twitter.com/tYSzMlLmzD
— KalibratedMaps (@Kalibrated_Maps) December 31, 2024
Kurakhove has fully been captured so now Ukraine will lose whole lower half of Donetsk and fight will start in Dniper region
As one Redditor wrote in og post
Once prokovsk is taken there is only fields till Dnipro, so loosing the Donbas would lose Ukraine the war. Taking the Donbas is by far the hardest part. Just look at WW 2 mr super military genius
Donbas is the most defensible part of that whole region of Ukraine / Russia, as you said first the Germans had trouble going through it and then Soviets too when they were retaking land. The guy calling this advancement against 2014 super entrenched defensive lines insignificant just outed himself as knowing nothing about the war
Ukrainian mappers of course don't report it
Since admitting Kurakhove has fully Ben lost is admitting that black line territory will be soon lost and chances are for truth Sirsky is going to mobilise then as he did with deepstatemap
Many people have high hopes with Trump that he will come and end it all.
And I have a good news, he won't 
2025 will be year of legal battle. They talking about peace deal but what peace deal if nether Russia nor Ukraine are fighting each others ?
For a peace deal there must be a legal conflict and there just no conflict on paper. Russia wants that Ukraine side says that those 5 oblast are Russian territory. That something Ukraine side won't do since its defacto killing Ukraine, they of course don't have power to recapture it but they need cope that one day they will be able to do it. US offers no nato for Ukraine for 20 years. So every side wants to come out as victorious. But what West and Ukraine is offering Russia is just a draw and not fixing the reasons why Russia invaded. Why would Russia accept it after it survived all the giga western weapons. Aid for Ukraine is now around 500 billions that's inflation adjusted is 3 times more than lend lease to Soviet Union. And Biden created lend lease for Ukraine but never used it, you wonder why ? Because he was giving everything for free to Ukraine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine_Democracy_Defense_Lend-Lease_Act_of_2022
Lend lease was such pathos moment
So after all the epic pathos moment how Russia will be defeated by united west
The scary tanks and long range missiles, Ukrainian are on their back foot without any ability to regain balance, west is offering Russian a draw
So you see it's ether Ukraine recognise that those 5 oblast are Russian or the grind will go on
As I mentioned before Zelenskyy is dead if he recognises those 5 oblast as Russian and he already against elections since now even republicans ask it and he still says no
So don't worry bros Slavshit won't end in 2025
Have a good year, see you again around February, need to study, will have exams about how bad and evil Trump is. Had to listen like 2 hours about how Trump is facist but you can't call him facist

Russia is the fourth biggest economy on the basis of PPP ignoring EU and ASEAN.
Of course they can conduct a forever war against Ukraine.
Just as the collapse of the USSR was the suffering of the last generation of Russians, the Ukraine war is the suffering of the current generation of Russians.
Just like every single suffering of this generation event with Russia, this one also leaves them worse off for two decades.
Conclusion:
Russia's wins a loss.

For things such as conducting a war PPP is more relevant because it shows how long the internal market can support the populace even if it is sanctioned and shut off by the rest of the world.
In the case of Russia being the fourth largest economy means that they could survive for a decade or two non stop under current conditions before collapse. In the one decade scenario at worst becoming a middle income economy from an upper middle income economy. From 12,000 USD per capita too something more akin too 4,000 USD per capita. On a 10 year time scale that fall is so slow that the average Russian would keep fighting the war across the decade against Ukraine under the promise of a better life for Russians the moment the war is won.
