We know that Bayern Munich and Dortmund hope to defeat Stuttgart so that both of them can have the opportunity to move up a step and be closer to Leverkusen at the top. Well, even though Hoffenheim this season is also quite good, Stuttgart's goal productivity level is still better, so we will wait for another victory from Stuttgart.
Dortmund will have a chance to beat Stuttgart in November and Bayern Munich one month later and that will be the biggest opportunity for Dortmund and Bayern Munich to overtake Stuttgart if they can keep the point difference small and currently the point difference is still very small, which is even true if Stuttgart slips up just one match it could see them drop down the rankings, as will Leverkusen, and this season could be very interesting.
I do agree that Stuttgart might have some trouble in the following weeks. I mean they have done well so far but I do not think that it is a sustainable thing and they are going to end up with a loss eventually.

This doesn't mean that they are not doing amazing, they are doing great so far and I bet that they are going to finish the season very well too, but that doesn't mean that we are not going to see them do all that badly, we could see them do worse than this eventually. That could start at November, when a team starts to lose, it's easier to keep losing, it's harder to go back to winning, that's why many teams end up losing points back to back, and not just once in a while here and there. Even big teams are like that.
602  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the need to be known a requirement to qualify for a loan(s)? on: October 27, 2023, 06:48:23 PM
If every person on this planet is honest and has integrity, the need to be known wouldn't even be a qualification for loans because if everyone is honest then everyone is going to be paying their loans no matter what but we don't live in that kind of world where if you show a weakness, someone will definitely exploit it. I think that for loans, it's an understandable thing for them to do because they're lending money and they have to have some kind of guarantee that they can get back on their loan after all, no one gave a loan because they're charitable and they really want to help.
This is true, people are dishonest and they could even lie with their own identification, that is the problem. Look at the default rate of the debts in the banks, it's closer to 8% in my nation and lesser in most other nations. That means for every 100 people that get a loan, 8 of them do not pay it back, and that is a terrible rate.

This is with identity as well, so you know who you gave the loan to and they still reject to pay it. That should be clear enough reason why we do not really want to give money to people without knowing who they are first. In my nation because of the high default rates, banks started to stop giving loans all together, not fully to be fair but not for like small stuff, if you are a known and rich person then you may get it.
603  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A more scientific mindset is necessary to avoid scams. on: October 27, 2023, 05:51:34 PM
It's funny that you mention first about scientific mindset, then me showing evidence (scientific) that that very thinking and training actually doesn't make you less vulnerable (in fact quite the opposite) gets you saying you distrust peer-reviewed work.

You're right though I agree, we should be skeptical towards everything but I think sometimes educated and crypto people think too highly of themselves, and can't even consider the possibility that they could be scam victims. Further blinded by greed they fall into traps.

I think if you use crypto without that underlying desire to make money, that, rather than the scientific mindset, is what avoids scams as all scams target greed.
Quite interesting, I didn't read the articles that you shared, you just gave names and not any links and I didn't want  to go search for them so I assume that you are right. But scientific and "smart" doesn't really sound like they are the same things.

One of the examples you gave says "young educated", what is the education? Are we talking about engineers from MIT or are we talking about "English literature from Ohio state" because those are different stuff, and just because one is considered "educated" just because they went through the education system, doesn't mean they know scientific method, as in checking the proof, most didn't even studied anything related to science, what if they studied arts? And the other is just least expected, so not even talking about education there.

Neymar was absence due to the FIFA's fault. It's really unacceptable for al hilal to lose neymar in a very important game like this. Al hilal is going to face al ahli but the main problem if al hilal can rely upon mitrovic to win against al ahli.
Ahli was a strong club with so many great players. Al hilal must be careful. Mumbai FC was noting for al hilal. The most important match will be during the match between al hilal vs ahli.
These clubs have very good meterials in winning the game. Hilal needs to be careful when it will face firmino. Firmino isa very important player owned by al ahli.That reminds me with the match between liverpool vs MU when ronaldo
Mitrovic is good but he is really need to have a good team work to win the game against al ahli soon. The duel between these clubs are getting so many attentions from the various supporters.
I can't even wait to watch it.
I would have understand if the team made a contract that banned him from playing and he forfeits his contract if he plays. But, the team already knew that he would go to national team and play there and whenever anyone plays at any game there is an injury risk, so it is not like we are shocked with this, Neymar is a player who is prone to injury as well, so the fact that he got injured there is normal and nothing shocking.

All these people who keep asking Fifa to pay the salary is dreaming, they paid like 100 million or something for him, Fifa ain't paying that at all. I mean how much do you think Fifa is making that they would be able to easily pay 100 million just because Neymar got injured there? It doesn't make sense at all.
605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 27, 2023, 02:23:15 PM
While we are getting closer to the most important match in La Liga between Real Madrid and Barcelona, there are some injured players in both teams and it made the fans a little bit worried.
Jude Bellingham is an effective player in Real Marid and they are counting on this player for the game they have against Barcelona, while there is some news about this player and it seems he is injured but Jude Bellingham said he will definitely play in the El Clasico match against Barcelona.
I would say Jude would be the most important player because he is a difference maker for that club. So far that dude didn't had 2 games in a row where he didn't score and that's an important thing for them. Plus, Barcelona has played like 10 players from la masia so far, t hey are definitely trying something and with the way their debt is going, la masia is the best place to find new players for them since they can't just buy players.

Between these two teams that are trying to get younger, this could be start of the new generation battle between them, both teams have a lot of young players that will probably stay with the team for at least another decade, and those players will have their first ever el classico against each other, many to come. I believe that Real looks a lot more ready as a whole team, but Barcelona looks like they are better at finding goals, so it's going to be a close game, Real will play a lot more with the ball, but the result could be a tie.

We are aware about the challenging games in group F but the best teams always qualify with outstanding performance and results, I don't think AC Milan will make it out. Watching the Rossoneri transforming into an average team is basically out of line, there are levels in football that ought to he maintained. AC Milan are not in good shape this season. They have struggle to win UCL games but recording quite an impressive game in Seria A league games. Stefano Pioli having issues dealing with his players, I think if he's keen on having good results, he have to take an extra step.
Of the 4 clubs in group F, only Milan does not have the ability to show its ability to try to add points or at least be able to win the match several times, but unfortunately Milan does not have the ability to do all of that. Since the start of the Champions league match, they have not been able to get a win. only ended a draw.
In the series A match, Milan started very well, but as the match schedule progressed, Milan experienced a decline in performance and the last match against Juventus, Milan was also unable to match Juventus performance which ended defeat and with this decline performance, Milan had little chance of qualifying this round is very small.
Looking at that group, between PSG and Newcastle, I would say Milan didn't had much choice to but become third, they ended up with something a lot worse and that would be understandable and shouldn't really be worried about it at all. I get that some people might feel like Milan deserved to get up but that unlucky draw made it very hard for at least one team to not be able to go up.

Milan could be that team, they could finish third and nobody would be mad about it, after all the other two teams were very good and that could be the reason why they are doing "badly" when in fact in any other group they could have been second or even in some of them first group. This should not be a big deal, Europa is more likely for them to win it.
607  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What altcoins do you think are currently still cheap but have good potential for on: October 26, 2023, 07:11:59 PM
$L1X (currently on sale)
$SUPRA(Public sale incoming)
$KAS (Could potentially flip ETH)
$SUI
$SOL
$LINK

These are my best choices when it comes to holding and coins that would be bought up specially on income and on the current sale.
Been able to see that trilemma on which this crypto coins been having that problem on and been resolved out by those upcoming projects which i do see that these are L3 or Supposed to be L4.
Not really having that financial advise but basing up with their utility then you could really be able to say that these projects are really that
worth to hold on but of course the biggest percentage that i do have on my portfolio would be always Bitcoin.
Those new coins that you listed are the real ones that are cheap including SUI because their prices are under a dollar only, Whilst for the SOL and LINK, they are both old coins so their value is already a little expensive. SOL is also controversial but IDK why you still include it. Aren't aware of it? Or maybe you are just a fan of it?

Maybe LINK is still better than it because I see that there are still people who are positive about its future. Old coins might be expensive than the newer ones but they already have establish a name, so we are sure that they can hardly collapse later on. The higher the value can also mean that the old coin is more trusted.
608  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Delisted/Inactive Coins from Exchange on: October 26, 2023, 07:02:18 PM
Number of new coins will always increase because many people are easily get tricked and they will create their new coins to scam the same or other people.

I don't think delisted or inactive coins from exchanges are affect the market, if people are only buy Bitcoin, they will not lose anything. Honestly I don't see any reason why you need to use new coins pairs to trade.
This is such a sad reality. Unfortunately there are way too many people who invest into new tokens because they think if they invest on early days, like even before it's released, at launchpad funding period, they could sell it for a lot higher later on. 99% of those projects go down as soon as they get released, either the creator sells all the tokens left on their hands on top of the funding they got, or they end up with a situation where they just can't make it work.

I believe that the best thing to do right now would be making sure that you are ahead of everyone else, and you could do a greater return of it when the time comes. I get that it may not be all that simple, but we could reach to that point if we are smart. Just avoid all the new ones, pick the big names and keep on accumulating more and more of those.

This would get you two things that are important, first of all it would be safe because the yare already too huge and not a single person could drop it, maybe as a market we could drop the price, but no whale could come in and screw it up, secondly it would guarantee previous success, so it is not like it's an unknown situation where you have no idea how it is going to go, you already saw it do fine.
609  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How much could you earn in a day ? on: October 26, 2023, 06:11:14 PM
1. Is it possible to make 1% on a trade within a short time frame as in a few hours or a day ? Would that also inturn mean that you would make 10% on futures with a 10x leverage? I would like to elaborate more on this i just simply dont know where to begin. It would be nice if i could have a conversation with someone who has experience on the matter.
Of course, you can make way more than 1% of your capital in a few hours or a day, but you should know that the higher your money the higher your gain, and the higher your risk/leverage used, the higher the possibility you may lose or gain more. It's no news, I've made over 300% of my capital in FX trading in a day. This though depends on the market condition, and I believe such could be replicated in crypto as well.

In Bitcoin trading, using 10x leverage means you are risking somewhat moderately, and if the market is moderately volatile, you might find it easy to make your 1%. However, you have to be a good trader to earn in trading, you need a good trading strategy, management and plan. It's not as easy as you might think.
People do not realize the volatility of the income, that's the issue. Everyone can make 3x of their money in a day if they are lucky, but if they are unlucky they could lose 100% of their money as well and it is not that impossible. We need to realize that it is not going to be all that confusing to have something like this and we should be trying to do our best to avoid these type of mistakes.

I realize that we are going to make some money and lose some money and on average try to do our best. If we are asking 1% a day, that would be a lot in a year, and I hope that we could, and with a bull run coming around the corner thanks to halving then maybe it would be possible, but it is not common and it is definitely not something easy to do.
610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 26, 2023, 05:41:30 PM
Manchester United made a very big mistake letting De Gea to leave the club and replacing him with a basket called Onana who is not sure of himself.He has been the worst goalkeeper ever since he moved to Old Trafford.Before you can get a keeper like Degea,you will definitely suffer because his type are few.Andre Onana has not been able to replace De Gea in any way,his performances so far has been very poor,the only day one can reckon on Onana was their last game,where he saved a late penalty to make his team grab a three point win over Copenhagen.I believe that game should be able to give him a little confidence which would make him perform well in the next match.
This is an easy judgment because whenever someone makes a mistake you could call it out as a fundamental error.  Think about this, there is a penalty for a team and the player taking the penalty misses it. Would the conclusion be that if they didn't sell some striker months before, they would have won the game or the title or whatever. These if games don't work like that. De Gea made mistakes and other goalkeepers make mistakes. There is only a hand full that really dominates the profession of being a goalkeeper. De Gea also wasn't one of them.
The difference between how De Gea played all season long just last season and how Onana has been playing this year is vast enough to say that it was an obvious mistake. Just because De Gea had some mistakes as well doesn't mean that it was as much as Onana, they were not even remotely similar and to make that quite similar, then you need to arrange something that would be like them playing the same game twice to see the difference which is not going to happen.

So, all we have is how many saves did De Gea had and how many clean sheets he had, versus how Onana has done so far. It is definitely an easy judgement because we are talking about a goalkeeper who got scored as much as you and I would get scored, that dude has been terrible so far and De gea would have been better without a doubt. I think that is the point and this is why I think fans are not happy with the Onana situation, they can get someone else, but it's hard to replace goalkeepers midseason.
611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 26, 2023, 04:44:41 PM
They transferred important players and paid high transfer fees. The only reward for the money they pay is the expectation of success. If PSG can achieve success, Enrique can stay at the head of the team for a long time. In my opinion, Enrique should be able to make it to at least the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Unlike you, I'm not sure at all about Enrique being successful in PSG. In fact, PSG had many superstar players in the last season they could help the team like Messi but they didn't have a good coach like Enrique in his team, Now when some players left PSG for the other teams, Enrique started working there but still I don't think if Enrique is enough to help PSG improve the team.
I think PSG still can't earn achievements in the Champions League.
Enrique wasn't all that great before neither, I keep saying that the only problem PSG has is not getting the best managers they could, they should try to do that and could do that but they keep not doing it. I mean getting pcoıhettino, and then getting some unknown Galtier guy, and then Enrique.

These are not the stuff they should be doing. Pay Zidane 10-20-30 million if you have to and get him, nobody would ever be able to say no to a contract that says 25 million for example and that would be the best way to go for them, and yet they still do not do it. I think it should be important to note that there are other great managers too, but Zidane is the only free agent one and it's all about money, give him enough and he would say yes.
612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 24, 2023, 07:04:42 PM
I think he surpassed that hype of Lebron James. Oh, and there's Zion Williamson too, he made a lot of noise before and after the NBA draft pick but the curse of the first pick may have gotten into him. Injuries over and over again, I think Lebron James was the only one in the first round and first pick that I saw who was successful in his career and also avoided injuries and that's also one of the big reasons why his name exploded off the charts because of his presence in most of his career games and taking care of himself.

True, Wemby is flexible. He can shoot he can drive and I was actually shocked he can also crossover, it's going to be difficult for any defensive coach to handle this man because of his different offensive weapons. I think all he needs is more experience so he can use those skills for hesitation moves. Unpredictability will always be a good weapon too for a NBA player to be successful in his career. Polishing all those abilities will be the work of San Antonio Spurs trainers.
Zion did made hype but neither it was as big as Lebron and Wemby, nor people expected him to stay healthy neither, even before he got to league he kept getting injured, his situation could be compared to Greg Oden to be fair, he didn't had much playing time and still do not have much and just looks to be a career of "what could have been" type of deal. He is still young and he could make a comeback too, look at Embiid, dude missed his early years but now an MVP player, I would say Jokic deserved it more but Embiid got one too.

So all in all either Zion will be like Oden or will be like Embiid, lets see. Yet, I still think that nobody in the world got as much hype as Wemby since Lebron James came to league. We are already expecting Wemby to be MVP level player, and anything less than that would be bad for him, I do not remember the last player that had "at least one MVP" type of expectations, that is a huge achievement and it would be dissapointment if he DIDN'T win it.
613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 24, 2023, 05:42:25 PM
Bayern Munich has the  strongest squad in the bundesliga. However  the team is now third in the table. Leverkusen and stuttgart are first and second in the table. The way t hese two teams are performing is really commendable. Leverkusen showed with a good performance against Bayern munich that  they have a strong  enough squad and are ready to fight for the title. But whether stuttgart will be able to maintain consistency is not certain. stuttgart have yet to face the big  teams. Stuttgart's  performances against Dortmund, munich and leverkusen show just how strong the team is.  But if the Stuttgart team can maintain such consistency, then this season  of the bundesliga will be very competitive. We will not only see the dominance of Munich.
I get that Bayern could be third in the league, but lets remember that they played 8 games and not lost a single one of them. Leverkusen and Stuttgart ended up with 7 wins and 1 loss or tie, whereas Bayern ended up with 6 wins and 2 draws, no losses so far.

I think it's quite important detail because it shows that they are not that bad and they are doing fine right now. That should be an important aspect of the situation and not really make that much terrible difference. I understand it's not a big deal at this moment and we could maybe end up with something that could be like "is Bayern finally losing" which is entertaining to many, but saying a team is not as good because they are third when they haven't lost even a single game is unfair.
614  Economy / Economics / Re: Young people needs productive mindset to be happy in life on: October 24, 2023, 02:49:05 PM
Everyone in the community on this site likely wants to live a happy life. Even those who don't work in the crypto industry desire a fulfilling existence. The rest, on the other hand, are content to simply have a job, and they would rather have that than being unemployed, even if their pay is meager or does not exceed the minimum wage.

You understand what I mean when I say that occasionally I even see recent high school graduates with more employment than college graduates. Others who are having trouble finding work are just starting tiny businesses like direct sales.
That is not really all that sad anyway. I mean you could have both at the same time and shouldn't really be terrible. I am happy with my salary and I am happy working at a regular job, it is a great job and I am not looking for anything else as a job or business.

However, at the same time I rather have more money too, just not by working, because I like my work and rather not change it, so how could I have more money while also keeping the same job? Simply just saving some money from the job I have, and from the income that brings, and the saved money goes towards bitcoin as much as I can afford to. That would result with me doing fine, I get that it may not look that amazing for many people but that is exactly what I need.

I would say if I can put enough money into bitcoin, then I can both keep doing the same job, but also I could get rich as well if bitcoin price goes a lot, or if I invest into some alt with some risk and that goes up a lot as well. These two things could mutually happen.

I'm afraid I won't be able to talk positive about Galatasaray at all. Because even though they are going to be the home side this is the first one of their toughest group matches. Bayern Munich are in a way better condition than Manchester United as you know. Galatasaray benefited from Manchester United's defensive weaknesses and Onana's mistakes both. But here I don't know what they can benefit from.  Sad  The only weakness could have been Ulreich but he has also been performing really well.

In addition to all of that Icardi got injured in the match against Besiktas. Okan Buruk said that they would assess the situation if he is able to play with an injection. He is a very crucial scorer for Galatasaray now.
Last time Bayern lost a group stages game was in 2017, I am not saying that it is impossible to beat them but when a team hasn't lost a single game in group stages for 6 years, any team would have hard time beating them. I think it's a bit of group draw luck as well of course but they did alright so far.

I think that is a good achievement for any team to get even a draw against such a team. They are the perfect group stage team, they are the perfect league team as well, they just have hard time with the tournament part when the playoffs start and they end up losing eventually. I think that part is important because we are talking about a situation that is definitely not that easy to beat, and Bayern will get an easy win most probably.

People do really love on being conclusive on which they would really be making out generalization and assume out that if they fail one of their business then it would really be failing all. They arent the ones who are in his shoes on making out those kind of claims that he would really be losing it all. Just like been said that its impossible that he wont really be having some back up plans if ever there's one that would be fail.
Debt is common and even billionaires does have it and we know that having debt doesnt mean that you are already that in verge of bankruptcy. Only true investors or business minded person does really know on whats the advantage that you could really be able to get on having debts.(Long explanation).

If he ever have those debt problems then just let him be on resolving that.There's no point on trying out to elaborate about with those obvious problems. He bought twitter then its just right that he would really be
applying on the changes that he does have in mind whether it would really be that making some bad effects on the company or not. He do knows the risks and he wont be called
or achieved on being billionaire for nothing. He do knows on taking decisions and what are the risks behind it.
That's the thing, if you liked twitter before he bought it and then dislike it after he bought it then you have the right to not like what he did. That is your freedom of speech, you have the right to say "before Elon musk twitter was a better place", we are not here trying to prevent him, we do not have any legal power to stop him from having any company he wants, if he buys a company then he can buy it, but the reality is that we could always give our feedback and say that we didn't like it, that's within our rights.

And that is what people are speculating about, he sucks at owning twitter, he did terrible changes and he claims ADF is the reason why it's not doing well, when in fact the changes he made is the real reason why it's doing badly.
617  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can it be real bull or just a temptation. on: October 23, 2023, 04:40:54 PM
I didn't expect Bitcoin could stick with the price range of $29-30k even though it should've been a fake bull due to the fact that the news about Bitcoin ETF that came out was a fake one. But Bitcoin is Bitcoin and I think many investors are now stuck after buying at the previous hype so they'd better just stay and wait for another bull to come which I do believe will not be long.
It's not temptation, it's expectation. When the approval of Bitcoin ETF comes combined with the upcoming halving, there's a chance the value will really grow and there's no stopping it after that. I mean, we might not see a chance to buy Bitcoin at a cheaper price again because they can start trading it in the live market. So, it would be better to do it now than regret it later and I guess this is the reason why the demand is still high despite the fake news that was committed by a known cryptocurrency news website.
I mean looking at the current situation, it is hard to say that it was a fake bull run, it looks like it's a real thing. I understand the logic and it has happened before where it went up just a bit and then it went down and proven to be a fake run to manipulate people.

However, when you look at this one it looks like it's a good one and not really a bad one, it looks like a real bull run because we have seen over 30k already. That doesn't mean that we are not going to end up with a bad one, and that just doesn't feel like it can't be all that weird, I feel like that could be something that would end up with a result that could be a bit different. I get it, I get that it may not end up with something that is like never going to go down. We could see the price go down from here as well, we just need to give it some time and it could actually end up with dropping in value and we could see it reach to under 28k again but I doubt that it is going to happen.

For some reason I do not see Chet to be on the same level as Wemby at all, maybe that is just me but the difference is huge. Wemby is much much better on defense if you ask me, he is just by far better, and maybe they look like both tall skinny dudes but Wemby is more agile, and also built better, he has more muscles if you ask me, can't guarantee that but it looks that way when you look at their images. That height difference matters too I think, Wemby is significantly taller too so the difference is definitely huge.

I believe that we are going to see a race without a doubt, but I think Wemby will win with a clear margin without a doubt, it should be something that would be a lot more easier for him to get. This also depends a bit on how the teams will do as well.

Al hilal deserves compensation. Neymar injured during FIFA calender. So, fifa has to taken care of responsibility to pay his salary according to the rules. The injury of neymar has already covered but this is not what al hilal wanted from him.
The club was willing him to play and that's it. Having neymar play the game will also increase the engagement to the his fans as well. This is why losing him due to the injury is a big lose not only for al hilal but SPL too.
Neymar being recruited to increase the popularity of club and league.
If there is a way that they could sue and get that money back then I would say it would be a good idea. I mean Neymar literally ended up with nearly no games at Al Hilal, he played about 5 games, and not all of it on those games as well, he played 4 games or so I think by minutes if you look at it that way. In any case, 5 games is very little and this dude is out for the whole season, there is no guarantee that he would comeback strong and play amazingly next year neither, and Al Hilal is paying a ton of money for him as well.

I understand that it would be quite difficult for Fifa to pay all of it, I mean we are talking about someone who is getting nearly 200 million a year, I doubt that Fifa has that kind of money to pay for injuries happened at the fifa tournaments but definitely not enough for him. Al Hilal took a responsibility with that type of huge payment, it was a bad decision before they made it, everyone knew it and yet they still did it.

Yesterday, October 19, there was one of the most ambitious battles in the Russian-Ukrainian war, which took place near Avdiivka and which Russia lost.
 
I will quote almost verbatim one of the participants in the event:
“Yesterday it really was hell. I talked to the guys, and they said that they had never seen anything like this anywhere, even near Bakhmut, even in Zaporozhye. This had never happened anywhere. The Russians were attacking wave after wave. They used everything, everything in general: tanks and artillery, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, Grads, aviation, drones, missiles, infantry... There were so many tanks that the minimum column was 5 vehicles, and the maximum - 30. They drove up, took a position and began to hit. The guys destroyed them... And very successfully This was one of the biggest battles that the Russians lost. They considered this battle extremely important for themselves... When yesterday there was the twentieth or thirtieth wave of tanks, one of the officers said: “What is this, ..., the Kursk Bulge”? ... "The Russians gathered a strike fist and threw it at Avdeevka, and then our guys did an incredible job... This is a feat. It was impossible, but they did it"

According to the morning report of the General Staff, yesterday the Russian Armed Forces suffered almost record losses: 55 tanks, 120 armored vehicles, 1,380 Russians. Most of these losses were suffered by the enemy in the battle for Avdeevka.

I am not sure how long this could go on but it looks like one day Russia gets a place and another day Ukraine takes it back and it just goes on like that forever. While Russia may feel a bit more comfortable with losing soldiers, which is basically how they won the world war two by letting Germany kill the Russians a lot more and still throw bodies at the situation, at the end Germany lost less people and still lost the war, they are doing the same thing here. They could lose 100 people to every single Ukrainian and still win this war, and that seems like their solution and this isn't regarding Russian land, it is at Ukraine so Ukraine can't really give up neither and it just goes on like that for years now.

I do not know what we are going to see in the end, but it looks like it is not going to be over easily, it is going to take some time. Hopefully, we could see it do a lot better on the long run and we could end up with a peace solution that makes it end.
