Putin will lose another 1.5 million Russian soldiers says head of British army

“No matter how the war ends, he feels Russia will be desperate to seek retribution, to carry out some sort of revenge on all those nations that have helped Ukraine.”

General Sir Roly Walker warns that we must prepare “for an eventuality that could see Russia waging war against the West”, reports Larisa Brown.

The Times Radio tells us constantly that Russia is losing badly, losing enormous numbers of men, have no tanks left and we can expect Putin to be overthrown anytime soon.
Now we are being told are military chiefs are telling us to get ready as we are next to be attacked and we must be prepared for the conquering Russian hordes.
Does anyone else see the problem with this contradiction?

I always have to laugh when people claim to know what Putin is thinking. This isnt journalism its make believe.

So in the way Russia is using Iranian and North Korean weapons inside Ukraine. How is that different to using nato weapons in Russia?

[Unknown]

I simply can’t believe we’ve been in this for TWO AND A HALF years, and we still don’t have raised an Army worth of its name…

Times Radio!! One of the funniest channels on YT! Keep the comedy coming!!

Ukraine: "You just need to Belive", "We Are Winning!!"

[markelder]

Just remember, when a Russian soldier is killed, its not just the loss of him and whatever job he did in civilian life. You are losing the children and grandchildren he might have had. Russia’s population was already declining at serious levels, even before they lost 500, 000 troops in Ukraine. The loss of of another 1.5M men and their subsequent descendants will be long term catastrophic for Russia’s economy and population.

The enemies are already inside the gate.

Times Radio sounds like the Ministry of Truth 😂

Russia army has crumbled. So hilarious.

[BrianFoster-jifp]

I fail to understand what the threat is. Russia might invade England? This whole conversation is absurd.

[angusabbott]

let’s not start worrying about what Putin will do once defeated, the “ and make sure the sanctions are NEVER lifted

[clivewarner]

Why would China join Russia et al. in a war against the West? Their economy depends on the West. It is a pragmatic country. And I think they can already see that it is not so easy to make war, these days.

A number of concerns I have. The attention of America has been distracted first by Biden's poor performance in the debate with Trump, then Trump's terrible assassination attempt, then, Biden's standing down in the race, and finally VP Harris' rising star. I'm in Kramatorsk, Ukraine. I've been here five days so far. I've been to Kharkiv and Kupiansk. I've been to Odesa and of course, L'viv and Kyiv. While all of this is going on in America, which is so important, because we American must get this election right. However, whether President Biden, VP Harris, and the Joint Chief of Staff, along with Secs Blinken and Austin, and of course, the American people are focusing enough on what is going on here in Ukraine is concerning to me. It is close to two and a half years since putin started this illegal war. It seems that putin and russia are in a terrible position. However, the war has been tough on Ukrainians too. Whether it is dealing with the power outages in Odesa, Kyiv, Kharkiv and other places or the struggle to stay alive, whether soldier or civilian. Glide bombs even large that the first ones russian aimed at Ukrainian cities are taking a toll. The cities are large. There are so many buildings. The buildings are large. Russia cannot take Ukraine. The country is too large and the cities too formidable. Yet, Ukraine needs a couple things further as the F-16s are about to arrive. First, Ukraine needs to attack further inside russia, not just 100 miles in areas where russia is building up forces to further invade and occupy villages and cities of Ukraine. Secondly, Americans please you need to help Ukraine foundations and volunteer organizations that find supplies to deliver to soldiers, civilians and children. The individual soldier needs more help than what the government gives them as far as military pay, which is more per day, when they fight in battle zones. Foundations that provide assistance for on the ground organizations to supply medication, diapers and food for babies, and everything under the sky that soldiers need, beside bullets, shells and water. I am glad that former President Donald Trump was not killed; I am glad that President Biden will continue to work hard for the American people until his term ends, and I am glad that VP Harris has enough delegates for the Democratic nomination. Please, we must stay focused on putin and in supporting Ukraine in their defeat against russian colonialism and we cannot forget the russian atrocities they have committed, whether in the deaths of children, and civilians, and the destruction of property, including hospitals, schools, playgrounds, houses, businesses and infrastructure. May we never forget the Ukrainian soldiers who have fought, died and who will fight and die in this tragic war. I have been told by Ukrainians that all they want is to live their lives without war like most countries. Soldiers want America to help them end the war for the sake of their children and their parents. Slava Ukraine!

What a contrast, at the beginning of the war Zelensky was a comedian and Putin was a leader. Now Putin is a comedian and Zelensky is a leader. Ukraine now has the most experienced army in the world, and we will be learning from their experience.

[berndgrabitz]

no, Russian mothers and fathers will loose there sons, Putin may or may not lose whatever 😢

[sjay]

Russian only has about a year's worth of equipment left at their rate of loss.

[drfill]

The math adds up. It's taken 2 and a 1/2 years to get to casualties if it goes for another 5 years, then you just extrapolate it out. You're going to get another million casualties.

[mrjerzheel]

So how many will Ukraine lose? the head of the British army wont answer that

[charlesnone]

I would imagine rusha could have purchased the territory for less by now. 500K dead or dying rushan men and probably trillions of rubles (maybe dollars). all for one mans pride.
