Please never stop the good news.
Please let it peak with a revolution that overthrows Russias oligarchy and Putin hanging like Mussolini 🤞
Ukraine would go down as performing one of the greatest turntables in history. They deserve it for bearing the brunt of Russias atrocities.
It seems like every day we’re hearing about strategic hits deep inside of Russia’s zone of control. I am sincerely amazed that both the Russian people and Putin’s allies are taking this laying down.
I’m not, they’ve been under the yoke for quite a long time, also, I think you think too highly of the general people. Look at America, they think voting Donald out would actually work while he’s busy replacing everyone he can with loyal lapdogs. He fought for it the first time an got away with it, why wouldn’t he again with a better stratagy now.
No, you people just think to much of yourselves considering how poorly you act as a group. It’s why I know you’ll learn nothing from this experiance with Donald even if you do manage to get your shit together.
Who are “you people?” Are you lost or just confused?
All I did was comment how ABSOLUTELY STRANGE it was to interject a completely separate topic. Almost like it’s YOUR JOB to comment about that politics stuff, huh? Pretty weird if you ask me…
“you people” dumbasses who think the general populous won’t roll over when a gun is pointed at your face, idiots who think they can vote out an athoritarian who already tried to overthrow the gov the first time with his mob of slightly dumber idiots.
And now that he’s spent the last year and a half of entrancing himself and his cronies you think voteing him out will actually do any thing.
Also ‘you people’ are stupid,
and honing in on this phrase only tells me all I need to know, your one of those stupid Liby types that relys on mob mentality to silence others who have opinions you don’t like, go touch grass keyboarder.
You sound REALLY mad. You do realize you’re arguing with yourself, right?
Are you paid by the Kremlin directly or do they use a third party to deposit your pay? And do you get bonuses for good content, or are you paid by the hour?
Wow your really having a cuntniption fit over me calling you out huh. Your the one going across my account saying I’m a Russian bot loser, your just angry that I read you perfectly. No wonder you got kicked off reddit
Sounds butthurt
Way more Sus that he’s getting down voted.
Almost like a lot of ‘these people’ don’t like hearing about the reality of what it takes to thwart a coup from violent and actually evil people.
Putin is too scared to do anything beyond troop surges, and the average Russian doesn’t care about anyone but themselves. They’ll take this lying down until they themselves at an individual level get affected or Putin gets popped by someone in his circle. Until then, its just another day of the week in Russia.
I’m sure someone has fallen down a flight of windows over it.
LOL
Nice to see the three day special operation showing so much success.
Ukraine export of goods to Russia is literally booming :D
A real fire sale too! 🔥
The world’s “gas station with an army” is well on its way to become neither. After which Russia loses almost all its relevance (except for its nukes)
If Russia is unable to rebuild refineries, keep aircraft flying (safely), etc. without all the supplies they used to import from other countries, it makes me wonder if their nuclear weapons are actually useable at this point. They have to be properly maintained, and the nuclear materials occasionally replenished. The longer sanctions are in place, and the more infrastructure Ukraine damages or outright destroys, the less nuclear capability Russia will have. Not a bad thing.
Not to mention Russia shutout international inspectors of its nuclear weapons in 2022, we have no counts or even status information about them since then.
Right now it’s kinda a battle between Ukraine’s ability to produce long ranged drones vs Russia’s ability to repair their oil and gas infrastructure. Keeping in mind that only 10% of drones have been making it to their targets, though that may increase in time.
Throughout the war they’ve been able to repair their infrastructure surprisingly quickly, even increasing production over time. That’s until the last month or so, where they’ve seen a pretty drastic drop in production ability. Nobody knows how long that will actually last, but it seems they’ve been hit pretty hard considering I believe they’ve paused gasoline exports until the end of November.
As far as imports for important tech to keep vital equipment running, it doesn’t seem the attempts to block trade with Russia has been super effective. Throughout the war they’ve created a lot of different ways to evade import bans through the use of shell corporations in countries they still do trade with like China. I think yesterday I saw an article that all their drones still had important parts being manufactured in Japan. Corporations are more than willing to turn a blind eye so long as it is technically legal trade.
Unfortunately the war in Iran has been a huge windfall for Russia, their national wealth fund is basically the life blood of the Russian economy, and it keeps growing as long as crude oil is above 59 dollars a barrel. Though they are banning exports of gasoline, they are still exporting more crude oil than ever. The attacks have mainly affected their ability to refine crude into gasoline, and other more valuable byproducts. If Ukraine could hit their ability to transport crude, that would have a much higher impact. That however would be much harder to do considering a lot of it is produced off shore, and it may upset some of their military partners who are cautious about raising fuel cost domestically.
And with all the corruption, I’m guessing the generals in charge of maintaining those nukes might have redirected some of those funds into their own accounts.
I understand what you mean, but they had like 10k nuclear bombs at some point. Even if a lot of them were poorly maintained they should still have a few hundred functional ones by sheer numbers alone.
