WARNING — BULLSHIT STORY FOLLOWS: Among the many grim milestones of a bloody war in Ukraine that has now been going for four years was one reached recently: For the first time since its invasion, Russia has lost troops faster than it can replace them.

"In the last month, Russia actually lost more people in terms of those killed in action and grievously wounded than it's been able to actually recruit," said Fiona Hill, a renowned Russia analyst and foreign affairs expert.

"That is something of a milestone. People have always looked at that as a kind of tipping point.

"I wouldn't say that it actually is at the moment."

There are several reasons why the milestone is not a tipping point.

Few analysts are predicting an end to the hostilities in Ukraine any time soon, despite the regular flurries about peace talks.

Even fewer believe Russian President Vladimir Putin will desist from pursuing the war unless he achieves his aim: complete control over Ukraine.

FIONA HILL IS A BULLSHITTER, WITH A PORKY DEGREE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF GROSSSHITUS...

THE GOAL OF PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN IS NOT TO CONQUER UKRAINE...

IT IS:

NO NATO IN "UKRAINE" (WHAT'S LEFT OF IT)

THE DONBASS REPUBLICS ARE NOW BACK IN THE RUSSIAN FOLD — AS THEY USED TO BE PRIOR 1922. THE RUSSIANS WON'T ABANDON THESE AGAIN.

THESE WILL ALSO INCLUDE ODESSA, KHERSON AND KHARKIV.....

CRIMEA IS RUSSIAN — AS IT USED TO BE PRIOR 1954

TRANSNISTRIA TO BE PART OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

RESTORE THE RIGHTS OF THE RUSSIAN SPEAKING PEOPLE OF "UKRAINE" (WHAT'S LEFT OF IT)

RESTITUTE THE ORTHODOX CHURCH PROPERTIES AND RIGHTS

RELEASE THE OPPOSITION MEMBERS FROM PRISON

A MEMORANDUM OF NON-AGGRESSION BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE USA.

A MEMORANDUM OF NON-AGGRESSION BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE EU.....

EASY.

THE WEST KNOWS IT. FIONA HILL DOES NOT KNOW ANYFINK...

===========================

THE RATE OF ATTRITION IS MORE THAN 1,100 NASTY YUCKRAINIAN [NAZI KIEV REGIME] TROOPS FOR 50 GLORIOUS RUSSIANS PER DIEM...

AND THE RUSSIANS, AS WE'VE KNOWN OVER THE YEARS, ARE VERY PATIENT, CAUTIOUS, METHODICAL, INVENTIVE AND UNWILLING TO KILL CIVILIANS — ONLY MILITARY AND RELATED TARGETS, CONTRARILY TO THE KIEV ZELENSKAKAKY REGIME THAT BOMBS SCHOOLS AND MARKETS IN RUSSIA...[OF COURSE THIS IS NEVER MENTIONED IN THE WESTERN MEDIA...] 

PRESENTLY RUSSIA HAS MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION RESERVE TROOPS IN TRAINING AND ABOUT 300,000 AT THE FRONT...

DAILY, THE RUSSIANS TAKE "ANOTHER SETTLEMENT OR TEN" ADVANCING FAR TOO QUICKLY FOR TRUMP'S WISHES AND ADVANCING TOO SLOWLY FOR THE DETRACTORS IN THE WESTERN MEDIA...

SO THERE ARE COLOUR STORIES IN THE WESTERN MEDIA, ABOUT THIS OR THAT UKRAINIAN PERSON FIGHTING AGAINST THE RUSSIAN INVADERS... OR [UNVERIFIED] STORY OF RUSSIAN OFFICERS SHOOTING THEIR OWN TROOPS — AND OF DIFFICULT NEGOTIATION FOR THE YUCKRAINIANS WITH THEIR RUSSIAN COUNTERPARTS... SURE...

ZELENSKY DOES NOT WANT TO CEED ANY TERRITORY AND STILL DREAMS OF HIS HOLIDAYS ON A BEACH IN CRIMEA. THIS WON'T HAPPEN. RUSSIA WON'T ABANDON THEIR RUSSIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE DONBASS AND THIS IS THAT. END OF STORY..........

BEYOND THIS, 25,000 SANCTIONS, RUSSIAN OIL AND GAS BANNED IN EUROPE (FULLY BY 2027), AN EU MORE RUSSOPHOBIC THAN EVER, AND AMERICA PLAYING DOUBLE GAMES, RUSSIA IS STILL PROSPERING... 

UNLIKE OUR DARWIN COLLEGE UNIVERSITY THAT GAVE LOUSY DIPLOMAS, RUSSIA IS WORKING... HARD!

=======================

Charles Darwin University's (CDU) move to open a new international campus in London has been labelled "out of whack with community expectations" as the Northern Territory university faces a growing scandal at its Darwin campus.

Yesterday, CDU announced vice-chancellor Scott Bowman had resigned after a TAFE accreditation scandal, which has affected almost 300 students.

The students were erroneously declared qualified to work on construction projects, with the issue also triggering the departure of CDU TAFE's chief executive Michael Hamilton.

AS WELL:

Iran has reportedly signed a "secret" arms deal with Russia to acquire thousands of advanced shoulder-fired missiles to help boost its air defences.

The Financial Times reported that a $US589 million ($734 million) agreement was signed in Moscow in December, citing leaked Russian documents seen by the FT and several people familiar with the deal.

It said Russia would deliver 500 man-portable "Verba" launch units and 2,500 "9M336" missiles to Iran over three years.

The Verba has been described as one of Russia's most modern air defence systems, which would give Iran increased capabilities to target low-flying aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles and drones.

The reports come as the US continues to build up its military presence in the Middle East.

President Donald Trump has been threatening Iran with US strikes if a deal is not struck on Tehran's nuclear capabilities.

In this episode of Made in Russia, we travel across the country — from the Volga river to the snowy tundra — to witness the transport revolution. Despite sanctions, production grew by 33% last year. From high-speed hydrofoils to the President's own car, domestic manufacturers are building a sovereign future.

Inside this video:
— Nizhny Novgorod Shipyards: The return of the legendary "Meteor" and "Valdai" hydrofoils. See how Russia revived Soviet traditions with modern AI technology and domestic engines.
—  Kazan Helicopters: Celebrating 85 years of aviation excellence. We look at the heavy-class Mi-38 and the light Ansat, now flying with fully Russian engines replacing foreign parts.
