The armaments from the West just keep pouring in.
———————
And many are being destroyed on the Polish border, near Lviv, or being captured. Kadyrov was very pleased with the huge amount of Javelins he captured near Mariupol. He thanked the “old man” for the gifts.
Our Pentagon even acknowledged Vlad has been sending an average of 50 pin point strikes a day. No small feat, Vlads cruise missiles travel more than half the distance of Ukraine, accurately hitting ammo dumps, weapons depots, foreign fighter barracks ( not so many now- most of the mercs have gotten word of the lack of equipment they receive and have left).
The US shouldn’t be involved at all.
Let the EU take the lead and pay.
The economic effects are harming the rest of the World. The war isn’t, at least not yet.
Why?
Somebody tech capable put up a poll of where you think Vlad should drop the first nuke . Put me down for DC .
…only when Congress is in session and voting on earth-changing legislation…
Exactly.
Russian weaponry have been shown to be a joke. We can only hope they try to send junk piles like the Kuznetsov to Cuba
Medvedev revealed Putin’s opinion that anyone who resists assimilation into Russia is a nazi.
Odessa doesn’t have Nazis, unless you mean that in Putin’s usage of the term
Alexei ship can barely get past the littoral. The ruski navy is a brown water force
You sank my Azovstal!!
The 5 stages of arguing with a pro Putin post
1. He denies: you tell him that the Moskva sank or that Russian troops committed massacres in bucha. He demands proofs that aren’t the satellite images or the videos or the accounts from witnesses. He rejects them as Jewish in origin
2. Anger. He deigns anger and complains that we are always accusing Russia of things like Katyn etc.
3. Deflection. He then equivocated, saying “hey the USA did similar in iraq, Vietnam, etc”
4. Depression. He runs out of lies and asks why we are picking in him with facts.
5. Acceptance. Much later he laughs in your face and says he did it and you couldn’t do anything about it.
Rossiya stronk
Err.. neither Iraq nor Afghanistan are “neighbouring countries “ to the USA
Ohhhhh... poor Russia was bullied by NATO?
You mean Russia is threatened by a defensive alliance that protects smaller countries from Russian aggression?
You mean that the school bully was so threatened by smaller kids joining up to defend themselves from him that he punched the one smaller kid who hadn’t joined?
I love near the border with Ukraine and can tell you that your post has zero truth.
No, no weapons have been “destroyed near the Polish border “
And nope, Kadyrov, the Chechen Islamic leader who is Putin’s ally, has not captured javelin rockets. The rocket launchers are useless without the sophisticated rockets.
And nope, Vlads missiles are about as accurate as a blind 90 year old
Internally Russia is hurting.
Interest rates were doubled to 20% and people not allowed to buy foreign currency. That was to keep the rouble artificially stable. But this stability is like north Korea currency stability. No troubles are able yo be bought or sold legally, hence the little official change.
However the black market rate for troubles is 200 to 250 rubles per dollar.
Foreign goods have disappeared from Russia. And Russia makes few to no consumer goods.
And jobs have ended along with businesses.
This is mostly felt in Moscow and St Petersburg
I’m old enough to remember when your hero The Halfrican mocked Russia’s very small economy.
Just make sure you don't get too close to the border.
The UkroNazis have a history of "dealing" with Poles on what they consider to be their side of the line...
I've actually studied Katyn, Starobielsk and Ostashkov in great detail.
I know of the puke Vasily Blokhin who was the main catspaw of Stinking Joe Stalin, and who drank himself to death.
I hope the faces of the murdered assisted him into the grave, and that he shat himself on his deathbed.
Then you know that Russia denied the murders at katyn until they could not deny it any more
