if he does use nukes it will be in Poland or a nato staging area.
This will not solve the Ukraine problem for the Russians. They will never capitulate and after this war they will hate them for generations.

No but it will escalate and maybe deter some countries from sending arms. Putin always escalates. He's a gambler.

None of it says Russian nor shows troops with Russian camouflage operating them. Get over the lame propaganda, even the US military no longer believes the Ukrainian claims.

Answer my above post of Russian vehicles marked with "O" instead of replying with garbage denial claims you are so cringe.

Nice propaganda.
Of courese, Russia will hugely benefit from the Western sactions. For example they might even restart the production of Lada Kalina Again!

The West already introduced multiple sanctions against Russia in 2008, 2011 and 2014. Those sanctions were in many ways beneficial for Russia, especialy for agriculture.

The World is big. Russia can live without Renault. Population of the World is 7,7 billion people, countries that introduced sanctions against Russia represent about 1 billion people that is small minority.

One thing the Arabs definitely wont do is invest in their own countries and their own industries. Because when they get regime changed they want to be able to access that money.

I say let them keep it in African and Indian banks. No need for London and New York.


The hadith of every other currency failing and gold and silver being the final currency will be fullfilled. How much gold and silver you have will be the final currency. The paper money was fraudulent, anyway.

I think the question now is really what the West will do. Ukrainians are now capable at most to enforce the stalemate, and maybe pushing Russians to the border in Kiyv.

Time really benefits Russians with their slow logistics. Even if 40% of Russian military assets were thrown on Ukraine, and they were wiped out to the last, Russia still has resources for 1 more land offensive, and Russian generals will try to not to bungle it as hard as the first one just out of sheer sense of self-preservation.

Ukrainian military assets, and cohesion are getting depleted no question about that.

UAF priority is now to inflict as much damage until summer begins, and to turn as much territorials into real soldiers.
The key is April. Actually, the key is for the Russian to take Mariupol before April.

Why April? April is where their initial conscript contract run out, so on April 1, there are going to be an influx of new conscript and most likely being send to battle like the last batch. Now, knowing what they know, that it was a war going on since Late Feb, would you want to be in that war?

While it is true that Russia have a lot of Troop, 900,000 standing and up to 2 millions reserve is the last conservative estimation. But you also need to remember Russia is one giant piece of landmass, which mean they would also need a lot of station force. That mean for a new rotation, there are only 1 out of 3 ways they could go

1.) The Cheap Skate way, do something like the "Stop-Loss" policy like the American did during Iraq and Afghanistan , extend the contract for the original conscript and have them stay put in the battlefield. Then you don't need to raise a lot of troop to fill the gap

2.) Mobilise the reserve, which is a sensible thing to do, but that mean it takes time to get them up to combat ready level.

3.) Send in the ready to go regular troop, That's the quickest way, but it take defensive power off Russia.

Now, all 3 solution would heavily depends on whether or not the Russia have any strategic gain, which at this point the closest is Mariupol. If they cannot take it before the April 1 rotation, that will present a problem for the Russian. Because assuming the normal Russian was not fed any information on the front line, they would still have know Putin have declare a Special Military Operation (And more or less by banning the word war, everyone would know this is actually a war) Which mean if nothing was gain for the 5 or 6 weeks operation, morale is going to drop. If this is the case, then option 1 and 2 would not cut it, it will most likely end up like the first batch.

Which is realistically the only people Russia can send is their regular. But would Putin willing to risk Russia national security

On the other hand, on the Ukrainian side, the longer they hold out, the longer they will give the Russian some thought about whether or not this war is worth it. Don't get me wrong, Russia sheer combat power trump Ukrainian, so if the Russian do not let go and do this day and night with multiple rotation, then at some point they are going to have the advantage over the Ukrainian. And it would be Ukrainian job to make the Russia reach this point as late as possible and as costly as possible. And force them into a negotiation table.

USA is going to be badly affected, but the biggest loser is going to be Germany. Germany is much more dependend on exports than eg. China or USA. Higher energy prices will make lot of German products uncompetitive. US-founded coup against democratically elected president Yanukovich of the Ukraine to drive the wedge between Russia and Germany. Victoria Nuland explainded this by saying "**** the EU".
Current crisis is in some ways beneficial for USA (at least for US Military Industrial Complex and US Gas Industry).
