Donbass was not theirs pre 2014. Is not strategic interest. And the donbass republic a mere pawn whose civilians have been pushed to die as cannon fodder. So yes they will tolerate losing donbass. Crimea is more sensitive, but may be so isolated and exposed that retaining it would bleed...

I heard this the previous counteroffensive in kharkiv. I heard this the previous counteroffensive in kherson. I think you are the deluded one here…. Russia lost 50% of conquered territory already. Some of it they had claimed as russia proper (kherson). Russia seems overcomitted and...

@Ich here is your long awaited counter-offensive. Just like i said. Probably end may/beginning june. Slava ukraini ! Slava heroyam ! Bless those fighting to reclaim their homeland from russian fascists

Russia has not given a shit historically about some of its mud peasants or cannon fodder. Its relocations, gulags, starvings, murders of own russians has deathcount run in the millions. It takes massive amount of explosives to break the dam. Not a simple task by artillery/cruise missile...

Outright lie. Source please? Usa spends a lot on military bases because it is primary for its own power projection and interests.. rammstein airbase houses 16.000 airforce military. Do you know how much long distance fueling and/or aircraft carriers America would need to replace that base...

Sounds like utter bullshit. Source?

These packages are usually around 150-300 million….not billion or trillion. You are off a factor of 1000 or even more. Yes…so far some 50 billion i believe. Peanuts for america. But when USA leaves it will fund more on defence. However…USA has not wanted to leave these last 60 years…...

This is spot on. Usa nags about europes defence spending but at same time sabotages pan-european projects and actively opposes independant initiatives. It basically wants Europe to buy more USA weapons but otherwise remain subservient, divided, no real competition. USA would get a heart...

https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-aid-has-us-sent-ukraine-here-are-six-charts 300 billion a week? USA has given 80 billion in one year. With it they are demolishing the “near pear” adversary russia for a meagre 10% of USA yearly defence budget…..(800 billion) An absolute bargain for USA...

Trillions funding europe?? How? Even the marshall plan was in the billions and partly aimed to ensure western europe would not side with communism. As for America spending trillions on defense. More then the next 10 large powers? That is not for europes defence buddy. That is purely for...

If we talk about who needs to “be a better friend” We have US politicians stating the EU project is a competitor and adversary. USA found spying on Merkel USA lying to have others join their wars. Usa threathening military invasion if the hague war crimes dares to arrest one of them. And...

America likes europe dependant on it. That way it can keep european military industrial complex small and of no competition. It can spy easier on its allies. And it can steer to self-interest in conflicts. with pretty bad outcomes lately (iraq, afghanistan, libya, syria). Even russia...

Well. The europeans all but downsized their armies into oblivion thinking there would not be “another war”. However it seems that is always a trigger for some dictator to see it as weakness and opportunity to attack. The new weaponry is to make sure russia and perhaps turkey do not get any...

They always have an uptick of pathetic propaganda as well. But it is increasingly looking grim for russia. I cannot wait to see them drown in their copium. Also for the russian cheerleaders here. (Who are awfully silent lately). I thought taking bakhmut and “breaking the back of ukranian...

That 2014 defense line is much more formidable. But can the russians maintain it considering they will be outranged by precise ukrainian artillery? With the rate the russians are also losing artillery..ukraine might actually have more punch around that time as well. Lets see how well the...

And the reason they dont fasttrack is due to going against the rules. Ukraine is in an active war and as such cannot ascend. Its just russian propaganda reaching for straws. Hoping to see cracks in coalition or support.

That is how to deal with a cockroach infestation…..

not even really. Ukraine disputes its full capture and claims some outskirts. Russia did not bother to prove conclusive otherwise with pictures that can be geolocated…and is even losing ground surrounding bakhmut so control is not secure. I think bakhmut was indeed lost. However aside from...

Good post. They try to nation build afghanistan based on western idea’s where it had hardly ever been a functional state and the population was still living in the middle ages with similar views. Luckily after 20 years and several trillions they realised it was never going to work

But the money will flow in greater extent to india, china, usa instead of russia. 2/3 of its total gas exports (2021) were to europe. That has almost completely plummeted. Vast majority was through pipelines which take decades to build up towards new buyers. As for oil, due to sanctions cost...
