LMAO yeah right. For the cost of 5% of our annual military budget, we've sat back with ringside seats to watch Russia, supposedly the the 2nd most powerful army in the world, grind to a halt and suffer massive losses, and its leadership now at the point of a near coup. NATO is gaining members, and western partnerships are growing stronger, while Russia can't even get a return phone call from its CSTO "partners." Russia is a complete laughing stock. |
Or it will be an extremely weak country with poor standards of living, which often happens to countries after the western support is withdrawn or diminished. |

Zelensky tells a BBC interviewer that there will not be a presidential election next year: “In accordance with the law, elections need to happen in a time of peace, when there is no fighting,” Zelensky told the BBC when asked if there would be a presidential election next year.
Not that it would matter much with opposition parties banned. |
Link to "opposition parties banned"? |
https://www.rt.com/russia/552321-ukraine-zelensky-opposition-parties/ That was back in 22. This year, they started seizing the assets of opposition parties and stripping politicians of their citizenship: https://www.politico.eu/article/volodymyr-zelenskyy-ukraine-war-russia-stripped-mps-citizenship-ukrainian-why/ |
The USA has more debt than the rest of the world combined. We are defaulting on debt paying with printed dollars worth far less than what we borrowed. |

On the barometer front Vice just released a video on YouTube that included an interview with an injured Ukrainian soldier. He is quoted saying: “I don’t know what the government’s plans are, but it looks like an extermination of their own population. Like, of the combat ready and working age population. That’s all.”
There is also video circulating on twitter of a Ukrainian officer using a grenade on his own troops because they refused to attack. I won't directly link either as they are likely NSFW, but they can be found pretty easily. |
Sure. Tell me when Ukraine’s 9 armored brigades equipped with modern tanks make an appearance. They have been sitting this out. Russians have no reserves demonstrated by the Wagner drive to Moscow. A break through will happen and when it does Russia could totally collapse. Remember they just lost about 30-40k from the Wagner group. This is be hard to make up. One side has something to fight for the other does not. |
What? Lol no they didn’t. It’s a …lateral move. |

haha russians cannot even control their own mercenaries!
meanwhile Ukraine continues to march to Victory!!! fly your Ukrainian Freedom Flags high. |
+1 While the Russian warlords squabble with each other, the Ukrainian army is successfully liberating the occupied territory. A Happy Day! https://www.kyivpost.com/post/18767 |
I think this is a misportrayal as there were specifically targeted individuals who were viewed as corrupt, pro-Russia or otherwise problematic to the war effort. Poroshenko for example was not targeted, despite being an opposition candidate to Zelenskyy, and likewise many other opposition candidates were not targeted in this way. |

So you believe Putin sent wave after wave of his own men to soak up all the world's bullets so that China could gain an advantage in a theoretical war? Is this you?
