    Ukraine’s making gains while Russia’s struggling, even resorting to bringing in North Korean soldiers. That just shows how desperate things are getting for them. If Ukraine keeps this up, no amount of imported troops is going to save Russia’s position.

      I think we’ll see more of this in the coming weeks due to the destruction of some of the main ammo storage locations.

      It will be a slow buckling… under the weight of everything combined… but it will take a long time still.

      But you already see Russia send out troops on motorcycle and golf carts as the number of armored fighting vehicles is getting to a point they don’t have one for each use case… but they still have plenty of bodies to throw at the problem.

      And in the mean time at home they are now thinking about how to replenish future generations…mandatory minimum family sizes will probably be attempted.

        These regimes will do anything but provide proper social economic conditions for family formation.

        And nobody can tell why nobody is having kids 🤡

          Except the US who understood long ago that by allowing immigrants in en masse and getting them to contribute to the economy you have let the burden of raising kids up to another country and once they are adults and can work/pay taxes you let them in…

          But they seem to have forgotten that lesson.

            I don’t how much issue with immigration outside of wage suppression and that’s what the regime is using it for.

            Note tripled number since covid…

            But even bigger issue here is that the government and the regime have zero incentive to create a country where people want to have kids. In fact they are actively work against american parents.

            We accept it too…

            People talk about abortion a lot but maternity leave never get this sort of attention.
