When the war started it was obvious that ukraine could not beat russia, right? Everyone knew that, most said it, now the US govt and media is pretending that ukraine might/could win, it's sheer insanity.
Now that it's clear that russia is not suffering from sanctions to the extent we hoped, they might not be suffering at al, it's even more obvious that victory or even stalemate is impossible.
Yet the US and european war mongers push ahead, willing to fight to the last ukranian, it's truly evil what they are doing.
don't know yet to what extent the sanctions can do. I know there are example : parts , software that they cannot get anymore. etc stuff you don't see. From the beginning the US defense chief never said they were trying to win all he said was they want russia to be broke.

Yea, that was the plan, but they're making more in oil than ever and i assume the same with gas since gas prices are sky high in europe. Then you have their grains and the important minerals, those prices are way up.
I saw a report that auto production in russia is down like 95% so there's that, prob due to the chips and other spare parts, I just dont see them suffering that much, certainly less than the euro's and even us will.

One thing we our media doesn;t mention is that russia has been rotating troops in and out, the same troops have not been there the whole time for the most part, nor are there any conscripts supposedly, also their total forces deployed are roughly the same as when the war started(they're not depleted).
Contrast that with the ukranians.

yes they do have access to more men but they would need to declare war to get them. Even in russia they do have rules. So vlad bypasses the rules by bringing in mercenaries. Ukraine gets them too.

They're not really mercenaries if they're russians, they're contract soldiers. When they go to places like africa they could more properly be called mercenaries.
The ukranians are the ones using mercenaries since they are bringing in outsiders, mercenaries are not considered POW's when captured and are not given protections under the geneva convention.

Things going well . meanwhile our media continues to pretend we're "bleeding" the russians, they might have that backwards. LOL

Ok, depending on where they go rubles are probably not a fungible currency. Anyway, i like them, the african nations love them because unlike the pussy french troops, etc, they do what's wanted and demanded of them - to kill the enemy.

The only way for them to avoid freezing to death this winter will be if they destroy their industries by shutting down all the plants that use/need gas. Lose lose either way.

The russians are rapidly becoming a battle hardened army, far more than say the american army who never really faces battle.

They have it in their power to stop all the pain, drop sanctions on russia(most of them anyway), stop supporting zelensky - force him to negotiate. they dont have to destroy themselves.
old info ukraine much better now since they have been getting better weapons, If it was that easy for russia they would be at kiev front door

most of licishansk now under russian control, things are accelerating, this city should have held out far longer.

Easy for us since we dont really need anything russia has.

Kiev was always a diversion in the early days.

No idea what's going on here but more of the instability cause by biden's failures.
russia lost it cause they could not win in the cities. Very hard to win on the road in a city
if you are going by the polls. Clinton, reagan and truman all had lower polls than Biden and all 3 won

Russia throwing their weight around. I cant wait till they demand double the price from unfriendly states for food, etc.

On top of this move, recently Agriculture Dmitry Patrushev announced that Russia's agricultural products will go to "friendly countries" only, and according to "who needs it most" - a hugely significant statement sure to continue sowing uncertainty and chaos for the global food supply.

if Nato gets sent in to escort food out it could get interesting
3. What’s Europe doing?
Germany, the biggest buyer of Russian gas in the EU, intends to build several LNG import facilities, its first, despite its goal of abandoning fossil-fueled power by 2035. It ordinarily takes several years to obtain the permits and land contracts and billions of euros in financing necessary to construct such terminals, though Germany temporarily authorized an acceleration of the approval process. A number of countries, including Germany, announced plans to hire ship-borne floating terminals that can be put into operation in a matter of months rather than years. To move gas from coastal import terminals to demand centers elsewhere, new pipelines are being laid and plans have been launched to reverse the flow in an existing one built to bring gas from Azerbaijan to Italy.

The only issue is that the ukranians mined their own port, the reality is that by the time they are ready to at leat attempt to export grain the russian army will be approaching Odessa.
the russians are not stopping any exports right now.
