+1 Oh well if he knew the GOP were going to be a bunch of rolling over on their backs for Putin cowards, why didn’t Biden double down back super fake undo everything?! |
The 18 month prediction is based primarily upon several factors that do not seem sustainable much past one year. - Economic inflation and bank rate increases - Increase in "accidents" and infrastructure crises within Russia's borders - Rate of shrinking Sovereign Wealth Fund and the nature of it's composition change - Rate of casualty loss of Russian military - The number of conscripted males and it's affect upon the ability of Russia to maintain itself based upon population density - The tenor change in Russian propaganda - The rate that China (who has been buffering Russia's currency so some extent) is being dragged down - Changes in key security, military, political personnel - Assassinations and 'suicides' of key personnel and businesspeople - the number of Russian troop deaths should impact at least 1 out of every 10 Russians - the change in conscription methods (ex. the St. Petersburg new years' bus) You can read the prior posts about all of these. Here's another prediction for you. Russia's current tactic is to exhaust Ukrainian front line troops with endless human waves (quantity versus quality) to make the Ukrainian troops either too exhausted or for them to run out of ammunition. This tactic could work, given that US funding has been halted by the Republicans and Biden unwilling to compromise on the border; however human toll is predictable. "Russia Loses 960 Troops, 124 Vehicles, 51 Artillery Systems in a Day" https://www.newsweek.com/russia-troops-ukraine-war-casualty-update-1863108 Not sure if you recall, but this is nearly four times the loss rate of Russian troops just a few weeks ago and nearly ten times the loss rate a few months ago.

Good commentary. Also: Notice several large fires in Russia recently? Immigrant workers are setting them in protest. Russia’s government blackmails big companies to pay a “tax” in bodies to send to the front in the “Storm Z” battalions. These battalions are essentially untrained human-wave cannon-fodder. The companies confiscate all the passports of immigrant-workers. Then, on a given date, they order them all outside, where military busses are waiting to take them to forward bases, just before deployment. |

Ukraine is a very sick country
They just shot down a transport full of their own POWs that were being exchanged https://www.rt.com/russia/591193-cargo-plane-crashes-russian-region-ukraine/ |

It is impossible to have diplomatic agreements with a Putin as he is brilliant but treacherous with no normal human empathy or moral
Code. I am sure he is lying with his allegations that Ukraine of shooting down military plane carrying 65 Ukrainian POWs. Thisbis exactly the type of thing Putin has done in the past. Make an agreement then sabotage it and blame the people they are terrorizing . The flight was transporting the captured troops to Belgorod ahead of a prisoner exchange at the border. I believe Russia shot down the military transport plane, killing all 74 people on board including 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war, and in their classic strategic fashion is laying all the blame on Kyiv all while Not honoring their agreement. |
Unverified report by Russians. They are a very sick country led by a deeply sick war criminal with no sense of right or wrong . This is their play book -/ make agreements, break them, murder innocents and blame the people they illegally invaded while Slandering them as fascists and aggressors. None of Putin’s allegations are credible. |

Ukraine shot down their own POWs.
Make peace you fools. |
There is no disagreement that Ukraine shot the plane down. The only confusion/disagreement is that the Ukrainians initially claimed the plane was carrying S-300 missiles rather than POWs. |
There is no credible, verifiable evidence that Ukraine shot it down. And, Russia has a history of making its own planes crash for political purposes... *cough*PRIGOZIN*cough |
Ukrainian Pravda initially reported that Ukraine was behind the attack. They've all been backpedaling since. https://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2024/01/24/7438639/ https://kyivindependent.com/russian-media-russian-il-76-transport-plane-crashes-in-belgorod-oblast/ |

There are also reports that the Ilyushin 76 that was shot down was coming from Iran, not from some POW detention facility inside Russia.
There are also reports that a prisoner exchange was being discussed but that no concrete arrangements for today had been made between Russia and Ukraine. And why would Russia even be using such an expensive mode of transport as an Ilyushin 76 to transport POWs in the first place? |
| Somehow Trump has turned democrats into the pro-war party. The man is a genius. He’s on the majority side of every main issue and turned the GOP into a growth party and the democrats into the crotchety, stuck in the mud, angry, pro-war, anti working man party. |

Indeed - it does not add up … I don’t believe anything the Kremlin alleges and need verification by credible person or agency … Iran and Russia collaborated to fund, train and provide weapons to Hamas and I would not be surprised if Iran was involved in this with intent to turn West against Ukraine …. |
