  2. UA could lose up to 200 000 soldiers during the Russian special operation. Russia is winning. They do not put the whole mass of combat power with infantry and tanks there. They have gathered their artillery and so they are doing well. Russia has a lot of combat power, much more then the Ukrainians. The Ukrainians will never have enought fighting power to drive the Russians out of Ukraine. The whole point of Russia going into UA was to eliminate it as a threat to Russia and to the RU-speaking Ukrainians that were tormented by the elensky regime in Kiev from 2014. They are accomplishing that.

  3. I hope the combat medics made it out of Donbas before it was taken over by Russia. That female speaks English well!! She would be better off in a Western military.

  6. This is not good! This is really bad! The only good thing is the Angels wont go to Hell! All the Angels will go back to Heaven but will come back confused again! Too bad some did not serve the real God! I feel sorry for the medics and Gods Angels. Maybe the Leaders are blind! They must be blind! They need therapeutic spa treatments! The brain needs a break! The mind is the brain and so they are probably not thinking right! They need spa treatments and aromatherapy and because muscle tissue if tight, can make any thing wrong! They need healers to help these! Maybe a Commander should make that happen plus some Reiki!!
