Due to the constant arrival of updated intelligence data, there was a need to adjust some items
of the total enemy losses - tanks, armored combat vehicles, artillery systems, air defense systems,
OTR UAVs, cruise missiles and special equipment. The total figure has been adjusted,
and losses per day are reported in the usual mode.

Oops - Pakistan, having given most of their artillery shells to Ukraine now send out a desperate plea to Russia to step in and mediate between themselves and India. Because if war breaks out Pakistan only has enough shells left to last 4 days.

Meanwhile back in Europe a new source is estimating Ukraine loses (killed) at around 1 million. One is taken from studies of satellite photos of Ukrainian cemeteries.

There is also talk of the the fact that the Ukrainian army is supposed to be around the same size now as was when the conflict started (around 750,000) but over 2 million men were estimated to have been mobilised since the start. Reminder that there are only 2 ways out of the Ukrainian army (injured or killed).

It looks again that the Ukrainian estimates of Russian dead are actually Ukraine's own figures projected, and that Russia's actual figures are just a 10th of that.

Military experts at Forbes magazine estimate it will take Russia 100s of years and millions of men to win given the rate of progress so far. Shows a complete inability to differentiate between manoeuvre warfare and attrition warfare. Either these experts really don't know or just hoping you don't.

Progress in war is not linear, once a tipping point is reached it all goes exponential very quickly when one side suddenly collapses. The comprehensively reported shortage of manpower on the Ukrainian side will inevitably be what causes it.

Actions by NATO may delay the inevitable but nothing, short of sending boots on the ground, will change it, as was recognised all the way back in 2022. But back then they still had hope the sanctions would work.

US 3 star general Hodges is urging Zelensky (dumb and dumber) to fire hundreds of drones at the 9th of May parade in Moscow. China has warned that if such an attack is made China would be reviewing it's role of being on the sidelines of the conflict in future.

It's already happened! Just as at the beginning of the great war in Ukraine, planes disappeared from the airspace map, today they "bypass" part of the two warring parties

It is known that fighting has just begun on the Line of Control in Kashmir between the armies of India and Pakistan.

America's largest industry is the Military Industrial Complex, but to justify continuous arms production you must have an enemy. And so one was always provided without interruption since WW2.

The constant NATO expansion right up to Russia's borders while Russia posed no threat was deliberate provocation to induce Russia to become the new enemy-in-waiting for when the Afghan war ended.

That provocation included the CIA building 20 bases in Ukraine after 2014, while NATO was training and equipping a new near 1 million strong Ukrainian army, as well as building a reinforced defence line across southern and eastern Ukraine in expectation of a Russian incursion.

And while all that was happening the ultra-nationalists brigades of the Ukrainian army were busy shelling the civilian ethnic Russian populations of east Ukraine.

Then, in 2022, Russia started it's SMO – who could have seen that coming?? (sarcasm).


Now Russia is winning against this Ukrainian NATO army it turns out that all these recent additions to NATO have not strengthened the organisation but have weakened it.

And not helped by these new weak nations constantly making threats against Russia thinking the US 'has their back' via article 5.

By this defeat in Ukraine NATO may well be finished. The US may leave and why not, are any of these other NATO nations really going to be any help against China or will they continue to be nothing but a liability?

The EU says they are to raise €800 Billion for defence, the snag being that they don't have €800 Billion and don't have the collateral to enable them to lend that much money either.

Not only that but their economies are already in dire straits, a lot of money is urgently needed elsewhere.

Vance just told the EU it needs to stop being a vassal, the US actually needs a functioning partner not a vassal.

Meanwhile China is making overtures to the EU (see News thread), perhaps the EU could be China's vassal instead?

Just a thought.

Great summary Ogee and EU could be China's vassal but on what grounds? How would China allow it?
