Before the war in 2021.Russia had $630 billion forex reserves. Then coming 200 billion Swiss franc, $150 billion in national wealth funds. Russia living standard was on the rise. Thousands of foreign companies operating in Russia. Europe is fully dependent on gas and oil. Sweden, Finland not seeking NATO.
One year later. All is gone. Russia tourists can’t make holiday in France and elsewhere accept Belarus and turkey. Ships can’t sail. Planes can’t fly.
What’s remaining today is propaganda and warm handshake from unlimited friend China.
Amazing.

Hormuz is strategic for GCC, Europe and Asia, it's not for USA.
Iran using all their available war power to destroy all they can, it will make a favor to USA elite (they dont give a shit about their militarymen in far zones, and Iran fk-up ME/Europe/Asia it will save energy and raw materials to be used only by USA empire, instead rest of developed world).
USA is naturally protected by two oceans, the only who can defy that protection is Russia and China, but since USA has several ABM shields, I think even they can't it, and that explains the current USA aggressive behavior against Russia (something impossible in cold war, where abm shield technology was not so advanced).

How dumb you have to be to have your enemy assassinate your top scientist IN YOUR OWN COUTNRY??
How about this??
View attachment 918539
What kind of idiots can't protect their own arms factory in their own counties??
And how about this guy??
View attachment 918540
I mean, you allowed that idiot ***-man trump to kill one of your top general?? Who does that? Trump aren't even fit for being a human being, and you let him kill your general??
Sure, of course, Iran can destory the entire 4th, 5th and 6th fleet in hours. Yes, and please don't quit your day job.,
You still here because we let you stay here, if you want to be the next Afghanistan, then please do go ahead and attack US fleet and bases with your "tens of thousand" precision guide missile. I mean if your "Top Arms Export" is a lawn mower drone, then there are nothing to fear lol.
that's mostly because people who talk about going to war and killing this and smashing that usually is the kind of people who is the last to pick up a weapon to fight.
As I said if their top arms export is those lawn mower drone, then let them talk lol, they are harmless.
“How to beat Russia “
What armed forces in NATO should learn from Ukraine’s homeland defense
Written by Nico Lange
except some newer models were not fielded by the ukranians before the invasion…like the T-90
They were however fielded by some russian divisions around kharkiv. You know…that had to retreat during ukraines counteroffensive.
But anyway. If you are willingly blind no amount of proof suffices.
Putins 3 day operation is going great!

Ignoring everything as usual again.
And regarding your 1 “point”. Ukraine was one of the soviet states you imp.
Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic - Wikipedia
It's far from the biggest. The first days of wars seen entire tank battalions vanish under well placed 300mm strikes, and Su-24 bombings.
Then, there been giant tank battles around Chernihiv.
And then, there been Russians losing a whole tank army to... territorials.
Lol, Kazakhstan is 6 times bigger than Ukraine, and has a giant desert in the middle.
Any attempts to pass the desert will be the same turkey shoots they got in North Ukraine, and now Wuhledar

I use the saintly brush possible by showing you a link that there indeed was support for Bandera?
And thats why i did not use that word?
With flattening resisting cities with dumb bombs and bucha tactics they usually conquer territory where a good 80-90% of the population fled. Millions upon millions.
After that..russia will hold sham elections and parade the “liberated villagers”.
Verified with actual death toll likely much higher they usually add. Forgot that again mr neutral?
Afghan collateral damage was very low from coalition troops.
Russian war saw millions dead.
Iraq was already discussed. American lies and its actions saw opinions in europe plummet.
I dont. Laws are human constructs and do not equate “just”.
Ukraine was part of ussr.
Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic - Wikipedia
So ukranians have to suffer because of Stalins population deportations and redraw of maps?
Ukranians have had an national identity for longer then pakistan.
Or are you saying that “fake” country should also just suck it up and be annexed by India? Hahaha
Also…with putins agression, we see another “birth of a nation” moment.
It has hugely boosted ukranian sense of self. Slava ukraini!
Well in time of war both sides harden.
You point the finger at the victim yet forget the assaulter.
Russia is “neutrally speaking” definately the darker shade of grey here buddy.
Abducting thousands of kids for one
Yes, germany feels deeply ashamed for that..and recognises russia sliding into nationalistic fascism very well.
The idea france and germany had was that trade and partnership would lead to peace and russian integration.
So it will be like a White Iraq, or worse, White Lebanon.
This is just logical, and EU will get a de-facto member with freedom of movement with a warzone.
It will be nice to see how much of Europe's nationalist movements would worth then if they will not join the fray.
In Poland, I've seen tons of Eastern European outfits going in and out daily, using their privilege of having a foreign passport to stock up outside.
They only organised Western European right wing organisation said to operate there was said to be Italian. Never seen any of them.
And I lost count to meeting American right wing larpers who ran to Polish border after few days of real war.
The history would've certainly been different if the strong, and victorious West have had resolve to finish them off 30 years ago, and not clawing the defeat from the jaws of victory overt the chicken Kiyv
Ups
What’s happening to giant money mountain of Russia before the war?
Russia will run out of money next year and file bankruptcy. Unless some unlimited friends lend money.
Russia could run out of money next year, says oligarch Oleg Deripaska | Russia | The Guardian
Western sanctions are causing serious pressure, with budget deficit forecast to jumpamp.theguardian.com
Money press goes brrrrr
Russians have the financial runway for 2-3 years. I have to say, I revised my estimate for the third time.
They massively cut spending, let their usually strong FX control go down, double digit rates, and overall they agreed to massive degradation of day to day life of most Russians.
And they have not went 100% with the mobilisation, leaving the breathing room for the labour force.
Nor they completely closed off foreign trade, to let a trickle of consumer goods keep the consumer economy going belly up completely.
By far, the most active Ukrainian nationalist movements were birthed by the East Ukraine, and not even by Russian speaking Ukrainians, but actual ethnic Russian Ukrainians, who lived there for 2-3 generations.
