| I am not sure what is wrong. The US is filling a void to help countries traditionally dependent on Moscow. If that helps bring the global community together, what is the problem? |
What's wrong is characterizing a $25 million nonsense tossed toward Kazakhstan as a "New Strategic Cooperation Moscow Losing Its Largest (what?) Partner". #AccuracyInReporting Also, Kazakhstan isn't dependent on Moscow, it has a healthy balance sheet, and has historically followed the Asian model of "I'm friends with everyone". There isn't any void to fill. |
OP here. Russia will soon be spent. Done. Everyone knows, militarily, they do not have the supplies to keep up the fight much longer. And they can’t make enough to keep this up. Why else would they go begging North Korea for 152mm shells, and Iran for crude drones? The best Russian troops have all been killed. They are not even trying to train new ones, because they can’t. The recent Mobiks are mere cannon fodder. Everyone knows Russian can’t keep this up past Spring: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2023/03/02/war-top-ukraine-spy-says-russia-out-of-military-tools/11310628002/ As for Crimea, it is a simple matter to (again) hit the Kerch Straight bridge, but drop it fully this time. Once the water is shut off again, and the narrow northern GLOCs cut, the Russians will leave on their own. The Crim belongs to Ukraine. Russia: get ready for your new EU/NATO neighbor: a free Ukraine. |
I’ll change soon, when Ukraine wins this war. Very soon. Pack your bags, Ivan. You are going home. |
LOL don't forget to tell Macron: https://consortiumnews.com/2023/02/25/western-lead...-say-ukraine-cant-win-the-war/ https://www.wsj.com/articles/natos-biggest-europea...nse-pact-with-ukraine-38966950 Western leaders privately told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Ukraine can not win the war against Russia and that it should begin peace talks with Moscow this year in exchange for closer ties with NATO. The private communications are at odds with public statements from Western leaders who routinely say they will continue to support Ukraine for as long as it takes until it achieves victory on the battlefield. |
Okay. Here's more facts. 1 USD = 435.87 Kazakhstani Tenge, so USD 25M would be 10.9 billion Tenge. The population of Kazakstan is about 19M, or 575 Tenge for every man, woman and child in the country. Kuyrdak is about 350 Tenge at street price, so that's about 31 million plates of kuyrdak, Does that help? |
I guess it’s up to the Ukrainians. The west certainly wants to give as little as possible on that front. |
Russia fell down on its promise to protect Ukraine and in fact became the invader of Ukraine. Now the West is stepping up to support and defend Ukraine, where Russia betrayed Ukraine. Smart people know this and see this. Especially among the other countries that Russia abused for so many years, like Poland, the Baltics, and yes, the former Asian colonies of the Soviet Union. The knives are out. Russia's days are fast waning. |
Negotiations??
We can negotiate Russia’s reparations owed to Ukraine after Putin surrenders to The Hague tribunal for war crimes prosecution. |
|
I cannot wait for the next phase of this war; where Russians turn on each other in a some form of a civil war. Wagner marches on Moscow and they start offing each other by the thousands.
Only down side is we won’t get as many videos of the fighting and Russian losses as we do in Ukraine. But it sure will be fun to for us and watch the Russia collapse. |
Good reasons exist to believe the Russian Federation will devolve into civil war: PMCs, or Private Military Corporations, and strictly illegal and forbidden in Russia. Of course, Wagner’s existence and power make those laws laughable. Besides Wagner, the private gas company GazProm has now formed its own militia, headed by a corrupt oligarch and former KGB / FSB thug. Then ther is the heavily armed wing of thr FSB. They are already in a cold-war with the Russian military. And let’s not forget the armed republics in the RF. When Putin’s regime collapses, there will be massive infighting for control, by these armed groups. |
We? You and a mouse in your pocket? |
You’re the best helper the Russian propagandists could ask for. |

Germany is wanting this war to end…..
European support is waning, so is US popular support. Time to end this miserable war. |
Am average Joe American national living in US to agree with comment. Many yankee local citizens are in common agreement for "so is US popular support. Time to end this miserable war." |
