Oh you mean the competent soldiers that he can't trust to protect the bridge but he has outsourced that protection to FSB? The rest of his military is there to suppress his civilian population as Tsar Putin wants to be king for life
You are making yourself sound like a pathetic fool by bringing matters not connected to this war on this thread. Its reducing the IQ level of the conversation. Looks like you like to use western tech (everything you are using to access this forum is a result of western inventions, but may have...
80 missiles with 17 dead? Either numbers of casualties are way off, or these missiles have the letahlity of a lego kit
The world is already slave to the USD and Putin and his cronies were already in that category with their properties and holdings in the West. They stole from Russia to park it...
When you create your new project, pls first understand what the title of the thread means and then respect it in that forum. You are distracting from this topic. Nobody is debating that somebody did right or wrong. This thread is on Ukraine and its war with Russia.
There are other threads for...
With your revisionist ignorant logic of trying to justify an attack in this century you are bringing back grievances from 70 years ago. Thats genius. Grievances are only brought up by the not winning side.
Why stop here: why not then get Uzbekistan and Kazakastan get occupied too. In fact why...
Its called capitalism. 3 years of near zero interest rates is not how you run the economy. There will be a disruption to the stability the economy has been used to.
If a Chinese banker commented like this , he would be in jail, like the trial going through for the semiconductor execs.
If a...
Putin was very much in the western fold and this is the time Merkel remembers: where Putin and Kremlin made money, took that money and put it in the west, go from rich to richer and shake hands at G8/G20 summits for the last 20 years. It was on this basis that Europe thought they had a good...
And US is consumer is paying several x times of price before EUrope's war started.
It was not US that told Germany to focus on Russia for its energy needs, not build LNG infrastructure (including terminals) and have other suppliers. Those were all German's own doing for love with Putin.
So of...
What did you expect: Western Europe and Ukrainians to act like p**sys and just welcome Putin and just give up because some theory on future generation being radicilized vs. a sure disaster for them to live under Putin (whoever can afford to leave has left Russia)? Your logic is one of a...
Get off this thread to talk this topic. This is not Iran. You are welcome to exercise your freedom to open another thread. You have some interesting poitns, but you are being a parasite by bringing it up here.
Putin has put Russia back 20 years, and humliated it. And the best you can do is hope...
Right now you (not the situation in the war) is the source of great amusement. You write this paragraph of what you know and feel but even Russians watching just Russian TV (not twitter) are getting fed a dose of how Kremlin's own are criticizing Russian performance. This is not the US where any...
You can bring your own sources and I will bring mine. US produced almost same mount of oil per day as Russia and Saudi Arabia put together. https://investingnews.com/daily/resource-investing/energy-investing/oil-and-gas-investing/top-oil-producing-countries/
Only 20% of its oil is imported from...
I don't buy the equipment argument. How may pilots shot down Israelis in the air?
Vietnamese pilots were flying Mig 17s and were able to knock out the same Phantoms. If Egyptians shot down the planes there would be some cine footage to back up those claims and would have been open to other...
My theory on system weakness and the political set-up can lead to disaster:
1. A top down person based system based on fear
2. No feedback loop (out of fear/reprisal) to understand true state of affairs
3. No learning loop in society or military that improves upon itself
4. Then add to this the...
Bagdad Bob, you are back with us but now advising Russians. Why would NATO do the equivalent of using a latrine (sending boots on the ground) when it has the equivalent of indoor plumbing (intelligence, precision weapons, knowledge) to have greater effect.
Is your point that you are bitter...
