Putin Has Staked Russia’s Resources on Victory in Ukraine. Can the West Match Him?Kremlin leader seeks to turn advantage in manpower and munitions into battlefield progress, while Western will and assistance for Kyiv waverBy Marcus WalkerNov. 27, 2023 5:30 am ETKYIV, Ukraine—As Russia’s war against Ukraine approaches its third year, Moscow holds the advantage on the military, political and economic fronts.Russia has far more men to replenish its battered army than the Ukrainians, who are running short of well-trained infantry. President Vladimir Putin is militarizing the Russian economy, using strong oil revenues to pay for rising weapons production. Meanwhile, political paralysis in the U.S. and Europe is threatening the supply of arms and money that Ukrainian survival depends on.

"We have no doubt that if Vladimir Putin is successful in Ukraine, he won't stop.. We can either stop Russia in Ukraine by continuing our military and economic support, or we can face a challenging situation where Vladimir Putin and Russia are able to overrun Ukraine and then threaten NATO allies…“ Hakeem #Jeffries, US House Minority Leader and Leader of the House Democratic Caucus, told CBS News.Mr. Jeffries believes that:💡Putin seeks to recreate the Soviet Union and thus will threaten NATO allies, Putin will not stop at Ukraine alone;💡there is a growing pro-Putin faction in the #Republican Party who do not want to support Ukraine and they believe that Russia is not an enemy of the US;💡the Ukrainian military held off Russian forces for over two years and it is a strategic #success by any definition: those who want to convince the American people that the Ukrainian effort has failed are contributing to Putin's #propaganda because the facts say otherwise.

Russian weapons superior to NATO counterparts, Putin says"Our defense industry demonstrates a very good both pace and quality of work," the Russian leader underscoredFebruary 2/ Russian President Vladimir Putin is satisfied with domestic weapons, which surpass NATO samples."Our defense industry demonstrates a very good both pace and quality of work," Putin said at a meeting with participants in the Everything for Victory! forum.In his opinion, "if we compare modern NATO armaments, the armaments of the last period of the Soviet era, in some respects are inferior, but not always.""And if you take our newest armaments, they are clearly superior to everything. This is an obvious fact," Putin pointed out.He specified that he was referring to "missile equipment, armored vehicles, and everything that is used on the battlefield."#business #finance #financialservices

UKRAINE ATTACKS ON CRIMEA USING BRITISH MISSILESWhat would happen if Cuba attacked US base at Guatanamo Bay?Or, if Spain attacked British fleet in Gibraltar?Break up of the Soviet Union, dissolution of the Warsaw pact, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria etc joining NATO.......NATO has overwhelming superiority over Russian Federation conventional forces but Putin drew a line in the sand- Ukraine must remain neutral and not become a threat to Russia.Western leaders who do not have the interests of the people or Ukraine wanted war not peace.There may be hell to pay for the Ukrainian attacks on Crimea, in Ukraine and in UK. And for what..?Putin should have followed President Truman's and President Kennedy's example. An agreement could have been reached without a war.https://lnkd.in/eJXnsnG4

Ukraine keeps inflicting massive casualties on russian troops trying to advance, as putin needs results before the russian elections in March. The russian tactic is the same as we have seen over the past months, they use artillery, then send in armoured columns and infantry, when these are defeated the russians do the same again, artillery and send in armoured columns and infantry, when these are defeated artillery and.....If this is russias new tactic, then a russian attack on a NATO country will be a vast disaster for russia, as NATO can and will create air superiority and this will allow A-10s and other NATO ground attack aircrafts to destroy the russian columns... Ukraine would be able to do the same if they were given enough Air Defence and aircrafts/helicopters.The picture below is from Novomykhajlivka where russia tried the above tactics 25 times yesterday. russia take huge casualties and put their faith on that the Ukrainian defenders will run out of ammunition. So putin and his generals rely on Trump/Mike Johnson to keep the US from sending weapons... the Rupublican Party is russias best chance, let that sink in....Yesterday russia lost: 1060 soldiers, 14 armoured vehicles, 14 tanks, 20 artillery systems and 2 aircrafts.- Remember the above will no longer be available for a russian attack on any other European country.#Ukraine #stoprussia #NATO #EU #slavaukraini #Zelensky #politics #ussenate #uscongress #war
