A few years ago, the Chinese C of S gave a talk in which he said that he did not consider the Chinese military to be equal to the US.

Ukrainian military is said to not be the equal of Russia yet here we are.

Ukraine only has 1/4 Russian population, 1/8 GDP, no nukes.

China has 4x US population, about equal GDP (more nominal industrial/agricultural GDP), has nukes.

Starlink and Elon are shitting on the russians.

Some people in the West believe falsely that Russians can hack everything.

Zelensky life is a living prove of the opposite to those fearmongering claims.

Russians can only cyberattack low profile targets, and making a lot of noise.

Compare that to the destination of Gadafi *ss thanks to hack his sat phone. Americans are the true main hackers of this world, but they are silent and quiet, they dont make noise.

by the other side Zelensky could open a Tiktok account and post dances everyday, meanwhile Russians can't locate him.

Kharkiv is only 20 km from Russian border. Russian artillery can hit Kharkiv from Russian soil.

US intel helped Ukraine sink massive Russian warship​

Ukrainian forces were able to sink Russian missile cruiser Moskva thanks to US intelligence, according to an official.Twitter/east2west news
US intelligence played a pivotal role in Ukraine’s attack on a flagship Russian warship last month, an American official said Thursday.

Ukraine targeted and sank the Russian missile cruiser Moskva on April 14 with its own anti-ship missiles after the US provided “a range of intelligence” that included the location of the ship in the Black Sea, the official said on the condition of anonymity.

According to a US statement, they just confirmed the position.

Yes, a person supporting NATO is the one to lecture others about being responsible, democratic and respectful of human life.

BTW if you don't like Putin you get the alternative - the Communists who are the second-largest party in Russia.

Well where are living standards higher? NATO nations or Russia?


How about we weaken russia enough so its irrelevant who rules there? Best option for Europe.

In NATO countries life is hard. People are stressful and anxious so they turn to drugs, LGBTQ, population is aging and falling. In NATO countries the richer you are, the higher your tax percentage. In NATO countries politicians cater to the stupid, weak, disabled, handicapped for votes. In NATO countries gene pool is weak and getting weaker by the day.

Another funny thing is despite all the claims about civilization in europe this war once again underlines the savagery there. People willingly killing their own neighbors or egging one fighting against other, raping and pillaging them because they cannot sit and negotiate like adults. And same people turn up their noses against any tribal war in africa. There has been no war in far east after china -vietnam war. Even india pakistan held peace for 50 years and even when they fought they rarely damaged civilian infrastructure.

East Asian men have little testosterone therefore little or no aggression so no war in East Asia. This is because East Asia has been civilized for thousands of years whereas northern Europe is only recently civilized. In East Asia men and women are the same height. In northern Europe men are about half a foot taller than women because of testosterone and aggression.

You are paranoid. USSR never annexed eastern Europe. It is soft power only, just like the US, no official annexation but only soft power. You watch too much Hollywood.

You obviously haven’t studied European history

You think along Capitalist lines. What if Russia and the world have a modular, device-level electricity source that will eliminate or drastically minimize oil and gas production ? What if Russia bans all personal vehicles ( cars and two-wheelers ) and remakes intra-city and inter-city transportation skybuses and skytaxis by using airships and provides for police, fire service etc vehicles using the cyclocar concept ? What if Russia gets its computer produced internally to some extent and in China using non-silicon or non-fully-silicon materials and different computing paradigms ? What if Russia adopts a progressive socio-economic system, better than its USSR times ?

None of those will happen, nice fairytale

He is right. When did USSR annex anything ? they actually liberated so many republics from czar empire - the baltics and poland were all liberated by bolsheviks from czar. After second world war too most of eastern europe had thier own countries. only a few became soviet republics. And each one of the soviet republic had a right to walk away whenever they wanted. Which they exercised in early 90s.
