As Ukraine runs out of men to recruit, the latest recruitment slogan is “it’s OK to be afraid”. Kind of says it all. (www.telegraph.co.uk)

Also, weird how Ukraine only had 10k losses according to western media, but is suddenly running out of people to recruit. Could it be that western media's been lying all along. 🤔

Idk, chief. We've had articles about Ukraine "running out of men" for almost as long as we had articles about Russia "running out of missiles". The fights are still going and going hard

So were the fights in 1944 but that war was still essentially decided after Stalingrad.

I too am in the "I'll believe it when I see it" camp on articles predicting an imminent end to the war. But you can make more missiles a lot faster than you can make more people.
