Not so good. And the Russian Central Bank is running out of options. No matter the outcome in Ukraine, the Russian economy is wrecked for a generation and may never recover. It is highly likely that Russia is in a rapid, terminal decline. And they certainly can't sustain these losses for another year. They are taking 45,000+ casualties every single month. Plus the corresponding loss in equipment. They are presently scrapping the bottom of their old Cold War stocks. The Russian military is never recovering. Even if they break through the Ukrainian lines, Russia is doomed over the medium to long term. Their invasion of Ukraine was a colossal miscalculation.

Good for the US though. This is the cheapest win over an adversary ever.

If anyone can't identify this as shilling, they really should restrict their internet use to cat videos.

Dp- Oh cupcake, things not looking good in Moscow. Possibly our new president elect Musk can help turn things around for you, but it’s still up in the air.

Wonder how many billions Trump and the Republicans will ship off to Russia to help Russia crush Europe?

It is funny watching Trump and maga world say we need Panama canal and Greenland for security against Russia. Yet Trump and maga will do anything to appease Russia.

Hey Trumpers do you think Trump will surrender to Russia on Jan 20 or the 21st?

Not funny at all. Putin is putting Trump up to this rhetoric to justify his indefensible aggression
“ see! The Americans are grabbing land too!”
It’s all part of disrupting and destroying the post Second World War global order.

For security against Russia? We need Ukraine a hell of a lot more for security against Russia than we do Greenland and Panama Canal.

I don’t know why anyone thought that Putin would ever give up. We’ve spent billions of dollars for nothing when we could have worked on infrastructure.

At least Putin isn’t indiscriminately killing women and children like Netanyahu but he still will do what it takes to win.

Putin’a forces have killed women and children and raped women and kidnapped children.

It is demoralizing for Ukraine. Yes. Trump can lift sanctions on Russia in January, boosting Russia's economy. Yes. Russians can take additional territory. Yes. There is a scenario where everyone in Ukraine could one day capitulate and lay down their arms and put their hands up and say "you win, I give up".

Then what?

Russia is on a trajectory where I don't see any possible road that returns to normalcy. That inflection point passed a few months ago. Even if the Russian's "win" militarily and have all sanctions lifted, they will need to pay salaries for troops occupying Ukraine for years to come, but that means young Russian males not working in the Russian economy for years to come. Already central heating is breaking down in major cities and it's not even mid-winter. If you don't know, it's too impractical and expensive to heat large buildings in Russia individually, so in true Communist fashion, they rely upon superhot water pumped at high pressure into massive pipes. There have been cases of Russian children literally cooked by trying to cross these water breaches. Lifting sanctions won't help put food on the table for average Russian citizens this winter. It would be too little too late. The Russian Central Bank interest rates are already at 21%, with speculation it could jump to 25% in December's meeting. The official claim is that inflation is less than 9%, however, independent estimates are far higher than that (at least double). Plus, the Rouble is crashing. Why does this matter? Remember that the Russian Central Bank is not technically a true FIAT currency, since the Russian Central Bank sets it's own Rouble exchange rates. I would watch to see if Russia starts dumping Sovergn Fund assets or large amounts of precious metals in December to avoid domestic panic until January.

"Rouble lost one-third of value vs dollar since early August"
"the rouble weakened beyond 110 to the U.S. dollar"
"The central bank said it had decided not to buy foreign currency on the domestic market from Nov. 28 until the end of the year, but to defer these purchases until 2025."
https://www.reuters.com/markets/currencies/russian-rouble-down-by-one-quarter-since-early-august-2024-11-27/

Although I can see a plus 6 to 12 months if Trump lifts sanctions in January? The wide difference has to do with other factors that are neither in Putin or Zelensky or Trump's control. Watch if anything happens with Solovyov between January and March. That should be telling. The real question is whether Trump will use the economic leverage against Russia? Ex. obtain cheap Russian oil to boost the US economy at Russia's expense, or does Russia play Trump like a tool?

7 months (+6-12 if sanctions lifted).

Trump asked Zelenskyy to give him info on Hunter Biden so he could smear Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Zelenskyy had nothing to give him. Trump significantly delayed aid to Ukraine because Zelenskyy wouldn’t “cooperate”. Trump is evil and seeking revenge on anyone and everyone who he perceived did him wrong. Wake up and realize what and who was voted to be president.

This may come to merit its own thread, but this conflict has spilled over into Romanian politics, with tens of thousands of Romanians protesting the cancelled elections:https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/romanian-protesters-demand-cancelled-presidential-election-should-go-ahead-2025-01-12/

The elections were cancelled because of accusations of Russian social media activity btw, though no evidence has been provided of that.

Also:
"It remains unclear whether Georgescu, who opposes Romanian support for Ukraine against Russia’s invasion, will be allowed to run for president again."

Its now a race to see what NATO burns through first, physical capital or social capital.

The body count comparison speaks for itself.

It has also proven it can outlast and outfight the RA.

Russia’s losses are unsustainable, while Ukraine’s are not. I am not just referring to equipment (although Russia cannot replace its lost tanks/planes missiles, while Ukraine’s supplies of tanks / IVFs etc. increase daily ).

As to combat losses of soldiers, WW1 France is a good analogy.

France 1914: pop 39.6M. KIA over 4.3 years: 1.4M, or about 320,500 per year every year. Total % of male population per year, all ages :1.6%

Ukraine 2022: pop 43.8M. KIA over 1 year: 50K? 75K? Official figures are not released. Total of male population per year, all ages: to 0.22% to 0.34%.

Ukraine is taking essentially 1/5th to 1/7th the casualty rate that France took every year for 4.3 years, and at the end of that 4.3 years the French Army was objectively stronger than it was in 1914 thanks to added capabilities and tactics.

It is also relevant the French were fighting against being subjugated, while the Ukrainians are fighting against being exterminated.

There are plenty of ground-level interviews that show the average Ukrainian knows the stakes. Ukraine will fight on because they must. Study the military history of Israel for comparison, where an objectively smaller, less-equipped military nevertheless prevailed over much larger forces and against all odds.

Having studied Russia’s repeated, overt, statements of their genocidal intentions toward Ukraine, this isn’t just rhetoric. Russia absolutely will murder millions of Ukrainians if they win. They’ve done it before and they say they will do it again (and that is not even considering their intended cultural genocide, which is currently underway in some Oblasts).

Ukraine can suffer these losses far longer than Russia can keep throwing mobiks at them.

It is not that Russia will run out of mobiks, but rather, Russia is losing because of poor and deteriorating morale, broken, antiquated logistics, lack of training, crippling economic sanctions, and domestic production issues. Russia can’t possibly solve these critical issues in the necessary timeframe.

Russia is facing a coalition of forces with more than 20 times their GDP. This military conflict can only end one way. And Putin has steadfastly refused at this point to negotiate.

Rest assured: Russia will lose this war.

The only open question is if Russia survives this, or breaks up entirely.

I knew on day one, you’re nothing but a propagandist. You fool.

Rumors seem to be true, Ukraine is sending part of its Air Force to the front lines.

We can infer that either Ukraine has lost so much aviation that they can send the excess soldiers to the front, or that the Air Force had been over strengthened to keep people out of the trenches. Either way, it signals a big change in how Ukraine is approaching the conflict now.
