Trump is a narcissist tooting his own horn/trump. Unfortunately the West especially the USA believes their own omnipotence. It is good to know that the Russians are proving once again to the world at large it is not a gas station masquerading as a country. The empire is almost done all they are trying to do is delay the inevitable, so sacrifice the young of another country to their death in a failed cause. Nothing that comes from the MSM nor the elite who spout pure nonsense when the global majority can see for themselves what is going on the battlefield. This defeat will be the end of the West and the myth that they have created. Good riddance.

Like Putin has said many a time we will acheive all our objectives set before the start of the SMO. May Russia prevail.

Trump is looking for an excuse to dump this Ukrainian mess on the EU and he just might have got the opportunity thanks to the comedian. Europe will be the biggest loser in this whole geopolitical game

"The main goal of this "Mannerheim Line" is not just to stop our troops but to exhaust and undermine the potential of our country. "

I would have said that the main purpose of the line was to be able to shell Donbas civilians to death, meaning that the Ukrainian planned attack on Donbas could always just slaughter civilians if Russia supported LPR/DPR, leading to a quick appeal for peace negotiations.

This explains 3 key points.

1. That Nato could convince themselves there was a potential conflict with Russia which US/ Nato's proxies could possible win (something that no neutral could conceive of before 2022).

2. While all the CIA predictions of Russia attacking all Ukraine incredibly turned true, Ukraine had virtually no defensive forces on the borders with Russia north of Donbas or even South where the Russians just pushed straight through.

So the Ukraine/Nato expectation was never a Russian invasion but a limited LPR/DPR attack (likely a planned false flag) which would trigger the intended Ukraine attack on Donbas.

3. Aware of all this Russian planners had the task of getting enought Russian artillery into Donbas to give them a better than even chance of defeating the well prepared Mannerheim Line. Given Ukraine's willingness to just target civilians this was a major challenge.

Hence the distraction of feinting an attack on Kiev, creating the partial withdrawal from the Mannerheim line and the opportunity to place enough artillery quickly to defend Donbas.

This was a remarkable achievement. 120k troops and a raid on Hostomol airport (notably West of Kiev) was an amazing conjuring trick. Plus the amazing irony of Calling the Russian invasion Bluff and actually doing the thing that was supposed to be a Ukrainian False Flag.

Add to this, it also explains why Zelensky was willing to negotiate a peace so early given that the one ace they held (attacks on civilians) had already been lost.

I am awed by the formidable growth in the Russian Army in 2 years and the massive force that will imminently destroy the fascists of Ukraine supported by the Combined West. Imagine 70 new divisions in the field and 40 more in training. At 12.000 troops per Russian Division; that is 840,000 troops at war and another 480,000 on their way. Each division includes artillery, armor, aircraft, UAV and electronic warfare specialists. Europe is trembling because the defeat of the UKROPS, in whom they invested billions and sacrificed entire economies, will leave them politically defeated and on the road to certain economic ruin. The days of Russia bailing out Europe militarily is over and America is incapable of providing anything like a Marshall Plan as they did after the last World War. After their 500 years of colonial plunder Europe will finally have to live according to its means while being pillaged by the United States.

"Imagine 70 new divisions in the field and 40 more in training......840,000 troops at war."

You omitted the "existing forty", and that adds another 480,000. A total of 1,800,000.

It's ridiculous that a NYC huckster and blowhard thinks he can even have a chance of negotiating on an equal footing with a true statesman representing the most powerful country in the world.
