But europe will have 20% reduced demand globally going saving/alternatives.
They have also set up alternative routes now, disruption of market on that front has stopped.
Global economy slowed down and is at risk of recession (which would collapse prices further)
Finally the reserves are...
Goal:
Freeze population to degrade morale
Result:
Failure.
Not only did it not break ukranian morale…the actual campaign failed with power mostly restored as more anti air and better strategies were employed.
Goal:
Degrade ukranian anti air

russia’s effort to hit critical energy stations over winter to freeze ukranian population into submission failed.
It seems to personally hurt you that the iranian shaheds are less and less effective attacking civilian infrastructure
What prompted it is that russia still thinks like a colonialist empire. An empire that went in decay and as such extra dangerous.
I am still wondering why eastern europeans….occupied, starved, betrayed, murdered by the soviets/russians…should suffer another round of russian abuse because of...
Simple.
Unless russia (where putin cannot lose too much face) constantly wants to suffer such humiliating cross border pr attacks…they will have to pull some troops away from ukraine to actually man the russian borders.
They are just trolling now arent they hahaha 🤣 .
Hope they keep at ot on multiple border crossings..forcing the russians to spend troops for defence there. (Like UFA has to keep men back in kiev against potential north push from belarrusia)
And i agree with your comment on the counter pushing...
I actually dont think so.
1: they defend this using russian statements 1 on 1.
“little green men”
“Seperatists”
2: such incursions will force russia to not completely deplete russian territorial defenses to pile everything in ukraine.
It will need to withhold considerable troops for...
Trump is leading the polls?
Why? This clown of a president tarnished the office with his scandals.
Alienated many allies.
Was easily swayed by compliments from Kim and Putin.
Mishandled Afghanistan, mishandled covid.
On the other hand…the democrats are pushing a ancient mummy to run again…i...
1. At cost of culminating their winter/spring offensive.
2. The 300.000 were to plug the gaps after kharkiv/kherson. Their mostly failed offensive saw huge degradation of troops which still need to defend large swathes of land. I am confident the 80.000 counter offensive will break through. (At...
Ignoring the simpletons that think Bakhmut (53rd city of ukraine) falling after a year constitutes some major strategic victory for russia.
How are the F16s going to alter the battlefield?
The russian airforce is mostly MIA due to high initial losses and Ukraines air defence. However it did...
Russia has 40-80 khinzal rockets.
USA has 1100 patriot launchers.
I hope russia keeps trying. Let it drain itself more and more. And good for Nato to get live data to update the AD some more.
Well north korea calls itself democratic as well…so that is indeed not a good indicator.
What counts is the trackrecord of news outlet and the rights/freedom of press
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Press_Freedom_Index
On both counts russia scores atrociously. Much worse then the...
Like what?
It already counter-sanctions, kicked out diplomats, breached trade contracts with gas/oil. Threathens nuclear attacks. And Interferes through media/far right parties.
What can it still do that is not a declaration of war and would bring in even MORE opposition/military against...
There is one side who:
Started war of agression
Annexes land
Ethnically cleanses regions
has torture rooms in every village
And it is not the “Euros”.
If you want to find Fascists…look no further then Russia.
