But, alas, Russia is a victim, too, don’t forget.
See, Putin’s Russia had to invade Ukraine, because obama, Biden, Blinken and the ultra dangerous, no one can resister her, Vicky Nuland made Putin do it.
So, it’s not his fault. The US neo-cons made him do it. Booo, bad, bad, bad ol’ neocons!
And Putin’s not actually invading Ukraine, doncha know. No, no, he’s liberating Ukraine!
So … Yay, Putin. What a man. What a hero. What an idiot!
(As are those who buy into his and their crazy Russian mind fu propaganda.)
Here are the facts barking dog.
World Bank country classifications by income level for 2024-2025
....
Sorry Willey, either you are misinformed or lying. This year, three countries—Bulgaria, Palau, and Russia—moved from the upper-middle-income to the high-income category:
...
Economic activity in Russia was influenced by a large increase in military related activity in 2023, while growth was also boosted by a rebound in trade (+6.8%), the financial sector (+8.7%), and construction (+6.6%). These factors led to increases in both real (3.6%) and nominal (10.9%) GDP, and Russia's Atlas GNI per capita grew by 11.2%.

They are fighting thirty NATO nations and doing quite well it seems.
You do realize that most of our consumer electronics are made in China right? You cannot be that stupid but, if you are, good for you for living an independent life shortbus.
Highly doubtful statistics. 🙄
“Now go get me links to demonstrate all that hasn’t happened.”
You’re making all the claims, without a SINGLE LINK.
But you need to FACE THE FACTS and once your lover, Zelensky, no longer has value for the West, the Azovs will likely be activated and he’ll be ‘neutralized’, as he knows FAR TOO MUCH regarding US corruption to be allowed to ‘continue’.
Sucks, but that has always been US policy, getting rid of ‘loose ends’. Would have been SMART of Zelensky to have studied history a bit before heading on this path.
Sad, but he never had a chance.
You keep using that phrase "conservative MAGA Trump supporting patriot". I don't think it means what you think it means.
Zelensky is actively campaigning against President Trumpmand was part of the coup against him and us. Here are your real heroes Billy.
So by your “logic” if Russia is fighting all of NATO then Ukraine is fighting Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and a bit of India.
“Great point indeed. Russia clearly wanted it to go on for years.”
Glad we agree on something. OBVIOUSLY having the opportunity to WIPE OUT the Western military base was something they could not resist (idiot Neocons gave them the opportunity), and yes, it takes more than a few weeks, in fact it takes years.
“British military intelligence said”
You believe everything you are told?
“OBVIOUSLY having the opportunity to WIPE OUT the Western military base was something they could not resist”
Yeah, Vlad is a real genius. How about you provide more details about the wiped out western military base, so we can celebrate it here all together ?
“Yeah, Vlad is a real genius. How about you provide more details about the wiped out western military base, so we can celebrate it here all together ?”
Anyone can look up “Bradley Square” for starters.
“Anyone can look up “Bradley Square” for starters.”
I got a mall in Milwaukee. Anyway, you are saying that the grand 6D strategy was to make America send to Ukraine 300 forty years old stocked vehicles ?
“Anyway, you are saying that the grand 6D strategy was to make America send to Ukraine 300 forty years old stocked vehicles ?”
Considering that’s all we have now, then yes.
AGAIN, perhaps we shouldn’t have spent 35 ‘celebrating’ the “Peace Dividend”. In other words, history DID NOT end, just because some Jap claimed it did.
“ And for those imports from the United States in Europe they just replaced with ones from China and other countries”
******************************************************
Or replaced by domestic sources to the betterment/strengthening of those supplying industries.
“If they end the war today, their economy will go into a depression once they’re no longer making military goods.”
Depends how the war ends. Seems to me that with 15 US bases in Finland, for example, Russia will being having to produce military hardware for a very long time. And that doesn’t even get into the performance of many of their weapons - there’s a BIG MARKET in the world for weapons that work, and aren’t painted with the Pedophile Rainbow - so it may be quite a while before they suffer, if ever.
“Considering that’s all we have now, then yes.”
So you are saying 300 stocked Bradleys is all what US military have ?
“performance of many of their weapons”
It’s terribly pathetic in most cases.
