Russia's economy may very well on its path to being FUBAR, but the war itself is going extremely well for Russia. I know that the daily mail gets flak for being unreliable and over the top, but this is the best analysis I've yet to read. I think everyone should read this.
Here's the best analysis of the war
Bazaar of war's takes are also interesting
The wests complete failure to listen to Putin and take his concerns seriously are what got us into this fucking mess to begin with.
Why they're repeating that same fucking mistake after he's made good on this threats is beyond me.
The west is led by absolute chucklefucks that will get us all killed.
Didn't know about them. You're right.
That's the plan.
You are the carbon they need to remove.
It's been a pass/fail education test from the beginning. Nobody with any background in history who also knows even the basics of events in Ukraine going back to 2014 buy into Western hysteria and social media meltdown over this, and wish Russia the best in achieving what are obviously legitimate national security goals.
The West, for example, dismisses the value that Russians place on protecting the rights and security of ethnic Russians throughout the former Soviet republics. They have never heard of South Ossetia and have no idea what Russia are willing to do in this regard.
Credit the West and especially the United States with the new concept of "hysterical ignorance." You can't even find peace in not knowing what's going on anymore. They won't let you.
Show your flag
Attack his argument.
Feels bad man.
I don't think the west (and by that I mean the leadership) is miscalculating NOW, it's just not particularly interested in doing anything for Ukraine, it's not interested to that level. I've seen some people put it as
> the west will fight to the last ukranian
I mean, it's not like it's costing them much at this point. Sure they would have preferred if the Ukraine to OTAN bluff wasn't called but getting a rival busy in war and forcing some economic pressure isn't such a bad deal for them. I'm pretty interested in some possible economic realignment, like what are China and India going to do, what's going to happen with energy in the EU (SWIFT sanctions aren't going there but who knows what can happen with prices).
Never forget what Ukrainians did to drive Motorola and Givi into giving literally everything to protect their people. The video of Givi smoking and not giving a shit about the shelling is because it was just part if life for him.
Ukrainian army are the bad guys, they've been killing civilians for 8 years and they'll be put on a show trial like Nuremberg. No surprise they're fighting with civvies as meat shields because they know Russia will deliver them justice.
Oh fuck off. What other petty ritualistic nonsense makes you and autistic shits like you the asshole in any crowd and generally just fetid social turds? Who cares what the fucking flag is, especially when you're the same asshats that rail against identity politics?
There. You slightly less miserable now?
are you for real? those guys were literally killed by russians byt air strike and car bomb and you blame... the ukrainians?
SBU paid off struggling people of Donetsk to get Motorola and paid off some of Givi's own men to get him
Run to the outback user, find water and start a small farm, become hunter.
Based.
>Run to the outback user, find water
And just like that the plan fell apart, although I am doing exactly that, just not in the outback kek
>path to being fubar
Gold backed Ruble incoming.
The west has given him the pretext he needs.
Russia is #3 in the world for gold reserves.
Putin may well be pulling off 46d chess
>Nobody with any background in history who also knows even the basics of events in Ukraine going back to 2014 buy into Western hysteria and social media meltdown over this
kek, this
Basicly this, yes.
There is no genocide happening to Russians in Ukraine. Just 18 civilian casualties in the war last year.
Unpopular opinion.
Better cancel and ignore him. Maybe seize some property.
The West is weak and full of women and soiboy men in leadership. They don't have the political capital, will or force.
