Any news on how TB2s fared or how S-400 performed? By the looks of it, this "war" is going to end within 48 hours. Ukrainians had no clue. It is understandable though considering their regular military's showing in the civil war.

It is difficult to see Russia coming out of her forthcoming decline. Whatever science and technology she had inherited from the old Soviet Union, their remarkable achievements in archaeology, their attention to medicine for the masses, their attention to metropolitan transport, all are headed for a slow decline. What a shame!

I think technologically Russia has operated all these years somewhat in disconnection from West-led efforts whether in space exploration or in computing ( described below ) and maybe other things. It may happen that the International Space Station may see withdrawal by North America, Europe and Japan or it may see withdrawal by Russia. As it is, Russia has plan for its own independent space station which doesn't seem to be realized maybe because of less financial resource input but this war may see resurgence towards that effort. Also, there are American companies developing private space stations. For Russia at the moment there is also the Chinese space station.

Failure to diversify has been their problem even though their software industry made huge strides they either relocated to the US or were gobbled up by competition. Its the same reason the Saudis are sinking 1/3rd if their reserves into getting away from oil.

Actually, Russia is good at software and hardware. Maybe 12 to 13 years ago I listened to one program on BBC World Service radio ( when I used to listen to BBC ) about a Russian government institute in Siberia that taught cyberattacks. And then there is the Russian microprocessor called Elbrus designed by MCST which though based on SPARC instruction set has its own unique internal design, but unfortunately its current models are manufactured in Taiwan but surely for bureaucratic and military needs there will be secure versions of Elbrus-based computers produced within Russia and some parts may be from China. The OS for Elbrus-based computers is a ported Linux.

Russia has proved herself to be a tinpot state led by a lunatic.

Why ?

Ukraine and Libya are great examples of what happens when you give up your nukes. The international community is impressed by military strength and economic power, not by how cucked you are or how many LGBTQIA2Sdx people you have.

In 1991, Ukraine had 2700 nuclear warheads, more than China, France and Britain combined.


Not so long ago, before 2014 Ukraine is one of Economic Powerhouse in Eastern Europe. Look at them now :(
Before Color Revolution virus spread to their country, Libya is one of Regional Powerhouse in Northern Africa Region. Now they are Failed state


Gladly, Belarus and Kazakhstan are Saved

And that is fine, but many of us are professionals here having done our time and worn the uniform, so we all respect each other's opportunity to chime in with our 2 pennies, we don't have to agree with it but we don't pooh pooh like some nascent member of a debate club for the sake of invoking a moot. #

Lets move on.
Peace. No offence meant.

Too many to name. Could have said Beijing or Grozny or something.

Just because you are American it need not mean you have to support your imperialist, Capitalist, plutocratic, two-party dictatorship political system which maintains the biggest and invasions-oriented military in the world whose budget just for 2020-21 was 700+ billion dollars.
