Jumper “Russia has taken over 85% of the net-potential worth in Ukraine already, “
Did you make up that number (85%)?
“You are fixated on land.”
No it was a land grab first and foremost. Putin even said as much. Besides no phony annexation needed to do those things you mention.
As I’ve pointed out before - BRICS remains what it was when it started - an acronym created by Goldman Sachs for selling their international funds.
They have done nothing concrete. And no, India is not going to join China in a digital currency for trade
And if this was a grand campaign to attrit the UA to surrender, it has been a failure. 2.5 years and still fighting. If FR got a nickle everytime I read here that the end was near for the UA army, FR could skip a freepathon.

Biden isn’t running anything... And he’s a buffoon... But Putin is a maniacal pro-communist lunatic... We got rid of the Iron Curtain, and we’re going to stay rid of it.
China and India do not have to be in an alliance system to be in Brics and trade.
The US led or imposed economic order is based on alliances so I this is a new concept. Of course all the talk of NATO member for Korea, Japan, etc., is an example of alliance based economic order.
Brics is a new alternative to the system that’s existed since WWII.
I see your objection to Brics. However, China & *India will become trade partners because it is in their self-interest.
Brics is the future for everyone who is not a US Ally. The west has separated itself from most of the world.
*India can see that after Russia and China the US will come for them... in fact the coup last month was a message from the State Department’s sister agency to Modi after his Russian/Ukraine visits.
Those are the only arrows they have in their quivers.

Bull. Just stop.
rxh4n1: I don’t have a problem with that either, but not when it turns into an ethnic bloodletting [...]
It is the Russians who have turned this into an "ethnic bloodletting."

Ukraine is probably down to 400k soldiers at this point, and most of their combat effective are now engaged with no remaining reserves. It’s been a long slog, but the AFU is kaput. Dangerous but defeated for all intents and purposes.
Why is Zelinski screaming for negotiations this morning, and a freeze? It ain’t becasue Ukraine is doing okay.
The US is pivoting to Israel as I type. Zelinski is being repalced given all the former commanders popping up along with NEO-Cons in the news. Now Z-man is forced to talk.
His 24 Sept presentation to the UN will be meant with deaf ears. Long ago he and the US opted for a battlefield solution.
Russia is delivering on the battlefield solution.
Russia extends across 11 time zones. Ukraine has no intention to "box" Russia in.

It is a shame the US has tried to create an Iron Curtain against Russia cutting them off from not only Europe, but the world. Only a Biden Obama braintrust could think in the box for America in this small way.
Yes I have read that Ukraine is down to old men and woman for about 2 years.
Putin created a curtain of his own making... As soon as they get rid of him, have actual free elections with real candidates offering views from both sides of the spectrum, then Russia will be better off.
Leave your war cheerleading in Toronto. And if I were you, I'd take a long, hard look at Justin Trudeau. He's your domestic threat, not Putin.
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled US/EU $50B Rus Asset Ukr Loan Plan Fails; Ukr Officers Flee Vuhledar; Rus Encircles Ukr Troops Kursk (My notes on 1 hr 30 min video), alexander_busek wrote: Armaments equivalent to 30 kilotons of conventional explosives were destroyed. Armaments which had been under the command of Autocrat Putin (friend of crazy North Korean dictators, Syrian dictators, Iranian mullahs, etc.) have been taken out of circulation. Armaments which one day could have been employed against Western troops (and civilians!) have been removed from the equation - and at no cost to Ukrainian lives.
I spent a lot of time viewing and recording my notes on the video thread I posted, so I viewed your comment as if it had SOMETHING to do with the actual thread content and in that context, a burning dump is irrelevent. I didn't realize you were simply distracting from the thread content "LOOK! SQUIRREL!" or in this case, "LOOK! BURNING AMMO DUMP!"
I don't happen to believe that Putin = Hitler, so I don't believe I should sigh with relief as if that ammo was going to be used against us.
A purely military installation has been destroyed - and you are quibbling, "expressing concern," casting aspersions, as well as distracting and diverting attention to unrelated matters.
HA! You accuse ME of distracting and diverting? I was still focusing on thread content and context, remarking on my legitimate concern for men trapped and not permitted to surrender, because I had just viewed the video and recorded my notes. My comment was about the thread topic. My 'concerns' were on the topic - yours were distraction/diversion. You snarked at me to get this conversation going, remember?
Ukraine has won a major victory today. Let us hope that many more days like this follow!
Ukraine has not won a major victory today, if by 'major' you mean that it could change the fact that Ukraine is losing the war. How many Ukrainian ammo dumps has Putin destroyed? Did anyone call those 'major victories' in Russia? The good thing is that it was a military asset without harm to civilians (if that part is true).
Regards,
While you were telling us how bad Putin is, Trudeau shoved the The Online Harms Act down your throat making it illegal to discuss many topics online.
Damn fool.
Putin is losing... It’s been over 2 years for his 2 week invasion, so he and you should be used to it by now.
Canada is losing and so is America, you damn fool.
