Some fans don't like Triss:

Another remarkable development is the situation around Bakhmut. The Russian PMC Wagner has turned into a penal army. It was originally a small, special forces force. The Pentagon has claimed that it is composed of 50,000 men (40,000 convicts and 10,000 contractors). This light infantry penal army is occupying the attention of a dozen Ukrainian brigades. I think this gives an indication on how ill-prepared NATO/Ukraine and Russia have been for large scale warfare. The forces on both sides are so exhausted that the 'best' of the Ukrainians is struggling against Russian convicts with 3-weeks of training. At the same time, most of the Russian regular army is in Belarus/Russia scrambling to train 400,000 men and Russia has been running an economy of force operation since burning out in July. They have lost more ground than they gained since the summer.

Russia increased the size of their armed forces to 1.5 million men, more than half a million men more than in 2021. Their 2023 defense budget has tripled from peacetime levels to 9% of GDP and is 50% more than 2022. This would make their military spending surpass that of China and be the no.2 highest in the world. The focus is on reforming and enlarging their ground forces rather than the other arms. They activated 17 ground divisions, including 5 entirely new ones. The other 14 are an expansion of their entire Airborne and marine corps, turning all brigades into divisions which have 3 times more combatants. Their ground force is now approx. twice the size as it was in 2021. In 2023 they plan to run large scale exercises "West 2023" where they prepare defensive operations against NATO. 250,000 Russian and allied troops served in Ukraine in 2022 with around 100,000 casualties (25,000-20,000 killed) Approx. 300,000 Russian and allied troops currently are operating in Ukraine vs. 900,000 Ukrainian troops. Russian economy and military are rapidly transitioning back to the Soviet large scale warfare army with 3 million men. WW3 is just around the corner now..

This stuff is awesome! @Enrico_sw

I heard Witcher : Blood origin is bad. I haven't even bothered to download it due to the trailer.

I didn't even know that they were related. She has incredibly striking eyes and an interesting face structure.
