LOL! This is it for Putin, for sure this time.
It cannot be helping Putin in Russia. If Putin had known beforehand how the invasion of Ukraine would have turned out, he never would have done it. If Trump had been president, he never would have done it.
“If Putin had known beforehand how the invasion of Ukraine would have turned out, he never would have done it.”
Actually he would have done it sooner as it has effectively ended the Western monopoly on wealth, along with a few other things:
1. Russia now allies with China and North Korea
2. Russia closer to Iran
3. Russian economy now larger than Germany and Japan (PPP)
4. Europe’s economy destroyed
5. Petrodollar gone
6. Europe virtually empty of weapons
7. US badly depleted
8. South Korea depleted of artillery
9. Delays in keeping allies armed (starting with Israel and Taiwan)
10. US “wonder-weapons” defeated on the battlefield
11. Russia’s military greatly expanded, permanently
12. Russia’s military initially shown weak...it was never a threat to Europe
13. Nuclear power plants put in danger by West
14. Energy prices in Europe through the roof
15. More of Ukraine being lost by the day
16. Russian military visits Cuba
17. Russian high-level nuclear alert
18. Russia now battle-hardened (tougher for Redditors to fight them)
19. Russia’s military advancement is far faster than that of the West (combat experience has that effect).
20. Russia may bring in troops from North Korea to fight for them
Thought they were best buddies a few days ago.

Just like Stalin thought Hitler was his “best buddy”.
China is in huge economic trouble itself. It’s not in a position to float Russia, period.
You’re delusional.
“You’re delusional.”
What claims of mine do you disagree with?
Hey Bob
I think Russia is feeling more like Joe Biden today.
I have been saying China is the big winner in the Russia/Ukraine war for years. This is an example of how they are taking advantage of the war.
“I think Russia is feeling more like Joe Biden today.”
Hard to see why.
Chicoms, like DJT have them by the short hairs.
“Simply put, China will not inconvenience itself to help its northern neighbor. Simultaneously, Russia’s economic isolation is only deepening, and Vladimir Putin may be running out of time to reverse it.”
China looks out for China. Pooty has been played!
“Chicoms, like DJT have them by the short hairs.”
Russia doesn’t think that as far as I can tell, and in any case, Russia has a lot of nukes and is far ahead in missile defense, so a retaliation strike won’t be all that effective.
Good list. Don’t let the Zeepers discourage you.

Thanks, and they don’t, since everything is provable. I think some of the people responding don’t listen/read alternative news outlets, such as from India and many other countries. It’s all there, even if it’s being SPIKED, and censored (in some cases), in the West.
For example, ANYONE can go to The New Atlas and find out the real state of the US military - and if they watch him carefully, they’ll find out that EVERY ONE of Brian’s sources is from the West (media, government reports, etc.).

The Chinese are like the Romulans. Crafty and dangerous.
The game is not worth the candle.
