HAHAHAHAHA. Ruble is weak because Russian government kept it weak because it makes labor cheap which is very good for oligarchs. For years they’ve been buying euros and dollars to keep ruble low, and you know what happened to those money? Those are the money that got frozen! Poof! Today they do everything they can to prevent ruble to become even stronger.
USA is not bleeding economy. Moreover, they suck blood from bleeding EU by supplying very, very overpriced LNG. And it’s not even winter yet!
The most possible prediction I heard is this: “Taking whole Ukraine will take as much as taking Donetsk and Lugansk”. We aren’t even half there.
The problem is if only half of Ukraine is taken, the other half will be turned into a terrorist kamikaze state by NATO with sole reason of existence is to hurt anything Russian. Yes, even worse than now, it will be literally like ISIS. I don’t know about opening other fronts but Russian forces are severely outnumbered because of special operation format but since for Russia winning is a matter of existence, if thing will go really, really wrong, Putin will announce mobilization. So far Russia is only fighting on territory very close to border where support of locals is high.
No. They thought it would be easy win and got into a trap. They did not even bother to clear and fortify rear. Because of that, many people died. The plan was the same as with Georgia in 2008 with same people staying in government only without teeth.
This is their last chance before winter kicks in.
I was a strategic miscalculation from the beginning and then rotten Russian elite decided to “make peace” and “showed good will” by withdrawing forces from Kiev which resulted in nazis massacring people in those regions. Now the don’t have other option but to do what needs to be done aka eliminating Ukraine as a state. However, since Russia is not at war officially, the forces are severely limited, moreover nazis destroy everything they leave, however, looking at the situation, right now time is on Russian side with EU struggling and it’s not even autumn yet.
So Stalin is God after all.
Russia is wannabe imperialist, but too weak to become real one.
In Russia there are two view of Gorby:
Well, since you don’t talk badly about the dead, there is nothing to say about Gorby. Such pity he didn’t live till the court.
It really pains me to see Russia’s allies in EU are fascists. It pains me even more to see that they are saner than current governments. I wonder if this is done on purpose.
Stalin’s view is generally positive because in the end all he did gave results and he treated himself no less harsh than he treated others. Of course, there is a lot he can be criticized for, but guess what, there is also Thomas Sankara who I believe cannot really be criticized and look where it got him.
Remember, current gas prices are summer prices. US LNG companies are going to get rich.
Lately? It’s called personification, an old social technology which works great on mundanes. There are no reasons, no economy, no classes, only some guy’s will.
Trump represents industrial capitalists while Biden represents financial elite. At least Trump represents those who produce something unlike Biden’s bubbleconomy. Bubbleconomy ruins everything despite growing numbers. Now Trump is going to to use those failures in own favor. Well, at least he’s not removed.
Just send them to Haiti. A True liberal heaven.
Ukraine says it from their first strike. And their first strike was on civilians in center of Lugansk.
After petals, I finally see frontline near Donetsk moving. This costed a lot of lives for sure. RIP, heroes.
He is a genius. His grant-taking schemes and crypto scums are perfect.
Since February Ukraine ran out of brave Nazis and now drafting cowardly Nazis and hostages.
