The difference is Putin and his family and chronies had direct and indirect connections with the west. His children live in the west. He and his rich thugs liked to vacation with their yachts. Nobody expects this ICC warrant to be executed in Moscow. But ability of to ever spend time in the...

So with this logic, economy never grew in decades, and is still the way it was in 1945? Come on don't pretend to be a self proclaimed economist. The German's flying around the world, more cars being sold, and Lufthansa bringing back its legacy 747-400s and A340-400s (that were retired before...

The counter attack last summer was pretty successful and Russians withdrew from half its occupied territory. Yours is the sort of wishful thinking of 'once it fails' that Russian high command constantly assumes He probably thought if every western leader is coming to a city under attack (Kyiv)...

German economy grew by 2% in 2022. Less than in 2021 but higher than 2018 , 2019. May be they think you are the ones that needs to wake up since they are seeing the impact of this growth. Nobody was complaining in 2019 when it grew by less than 2% either. what era are you referring to? In 1973...

Every dignitary has protection. What is the point you are making? Even CEOs of corporations have protection. But they don't have to take the train around the country like Putin who is afraid of being targeted in the air. 20-40 years away? Outside of China, most industrial oil consumption is on...

The french also flushed their toilets and thats not newsworthy no more so than this in this forum. This protest is opposing the policy of increasing retirement age to bring it closer to other Eruopean countries since the rich nation retirement system is not financially solvent because people...

Dear member, what era and what is your source of information. 141 countries in UN in Feb against Russian invasion. Only 6 fringe support Russia , with 32 abstaining. Are the six states your definition of 'rest of the world': North Korea, Iran, Belarus, Nicargua, Syria the center of your 'rest of...

nobody in US or Europe goes to jail for speaking against the war. There are no national security laws against speaking out. Heck Fox news is full of them including your beloved loser Col Mcgregor. Even Florida Governor has gone against this. Show me where this dissent of opinion is tolerated in...

I don't think the US can play victim here. It has been deliberately 'fingering' the situation via its surveillance flights close to the war zone. To eventually provoke. If US really needed this intelligence it would send armed escort with it. I don't think US would like Russian drones off its...

you had all the logic in the world till the last sentence: come on, stop being like a Fox audience and stay with where you have sense. Whats next, Putin is a CIA plant as only the CIA would want Russia to be in the situation it is now Okay russian slave (brown or not). I don't believe a random...

This much like a 60s - 70s style mindset that natural resources drive the future. The natural resources it has were in a decline state before the war, and the green energy transition has accelerated it because of war.... Its like a country rich in whale oil in the middle 1800s has plenty of it...

If it bothers you, stop reading his posts. I am fine with reading his analysis just like I am with the analysis of the pro-Russia side basing success in the next 24 hours and this being over and Russia prevailing. You are causing distraction on this thread

agreed. HIMARS built the equivalent of a medeival time fortress that allowed them to repel the invader. Pushing to get invader out was something that a fortress could not do. Thats where tanks come in to punch through this. 'plenty of money at $45: cost of production means that is what it takes...

then start a new forum with people that have shots of your own side and ban everybody. Sorry the membership policy of this forum is not working out for you

I don't agree with you but I still like to ready the opposite perspective. But at least be consistent please. You just said that ISI and Jihadi's neutered USSR and broke it into Russia in Afghanistan (not a direct quote but summarizing from previous post) and now you are saying Russia is too...

I live in the world reality: I haven't declared a reduction of half million barrels. Russians have reduced it. Why does somebody reduce its oil production? So it can match its supply to the demand or its price drops even further Definitely bearing fruit: the hostility between the invading...

The 20% discount is a big deal. Their cost of production is almost $45/barrell. So when oil is not selling for $85 but at $60, its a lot less profit per barrel. Even with China/India there is not enough demand for oil so it has cut production by 500K barrels. So producing less oil and making...

What is brown sahib? This forum is a multi-national crowd so not familiar with your racist slurs. This forum has the word DEFENCE in it, so me talking about using military force as a way to justify expansion is very relevant. Russia has expanded overtly, western powers did do overly in the...

If all is going so well for Russians (according to plan that 5 months later , they MAY have a chance at a victory of a town thats destroyed and 90% of its population left, and Russians have unbelievable industrial capacity , and will teach Europeans a lesson, THAN WHY is there public infighting...

Dont worry about the westerners where for average western european the gas bill is about 5-10% of their monthly expenditure. If you are concerned about impact on people than you should care about Syria, Lebanon, Egypt where the average person spends 30-40% of their wage on food bill and that...
