Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[oberschlesier]

Nope. Ukraine is just a game for Russians. Also, war rejuvenates Russia. Without war, a country decays and rots.

So, you think, they have to destroy to reborn again ?
Reforms and leadership rotation to younger generation would be far better.

Back then Russia military was junk in the 1980s. Now Russia got high tech gear like armed drones, cruise missiles. Russians can now kill people half way around the world sitting on the couch at home.

There was no Russia in 1980s.

Most of their heavy gear is just modernization of models from 1970s and 1980s.

To be honest MiG-29 armed with R-27 would just get slaughtered by Su-35 and Su-57 backed by A-50U. R-37 is no joke.

Well we saw how that worked last month, guess that’s not happening.

Russia has been fighting with one hand tied behind its back to spare civilian infrastructure in most of Ukraine. If Russia decides that it's now or never, with NATO making Ukraine stronger each passing day, it will go medieval on Ukraine and can easily bomb it into rubble. Russia has the same MOAB type bombs that the US used in Afghanistan and they can be delivered by airplanes safely out of reach of Ukrainian defences.

You mean Russia will finally start the war with Ukraine ?

NATO is not being punched.

If Russia manages to keep parts of Ukraine, it will be a punch to NATO's credibility as a deterrent. This is not Syria or Africa. This is Europe., albeit by proxy, not direct engagement Defending Europe from Russia is NATO's entire raison d'être.

You mean Russia will finally start the war with Ukraine ?

It will use the MOAB-type bombs that it has been holding back because it wants to spare the civilian infrastructure in most of Ukraine. It will make Maruipol the norm across Ukraine.

1. The long term contracts are in USD / EUR not Rubles, you cannot change the currency without renegociating the contracts. Hence the Buyer -> Gazprombank (EUR -> RUB) -> Gazprom schema companies are using. It`s not paying in Rubles.

2. Russia needs to buy medicine or non santioned components with USD / EUR. The sancions are not a trade embargo. Russia is very import dependent.

3. Russia just put a Gas embargo on Poland and broke contracts. This massivelly improved the perception of Russia. The game is to lure Russian to put embargos on other countries and by this force sanction it self

Of course you can when the other side literally makes the currency stated in the contract useless. What is the point of making that currency useless to me and then insisting on paying me with it? If you are the seller, think hard on what you should do.

Compared to what was done in Iraq and elsewhere, Russians have been angels in comparison.

there aren't many places in the world like this. It was built to produce steel probably after a nuclear war with USA.

number dont look good for Israel either. but look at it.

Russia is 140 million but USA, Canada, Australia, UK, EU is 900 milion.

So even 1,3 billion impoverished Chinese join the fight, Russia is still behind. But china is not as stupid as you think.

Why not? they want freedom.

the western world can supply all of the above.

has anyone asked you or me what we think? no, our governments provide arms to Ukraine regardless of what we think.

no its not. public opinion is irrelevant in the west in such circumstances,

Why should people trust your word when you say you are Iranic one day and Slavic another day?

NATO has been very careful not to give Ukraine offensive weapons that can target Russian cities. That is wise because, if Ukraine hits civilian targets in Russia, it will give Russia the green light to bomb civilians across Ukraine, not just Mariupol. Neither side will care about world opinion or war crimes or anything else.
