So let us consider some actual facts:
Russia and its allies captured the major industrial port city of Mariupol from frontline Ukrainian troops and are still in full control of that city.
Russia and its allies expelled the Ukrainian Army from the Luhansk Republic and are in full control there.
Russia and its allies are continuing to retake cities and villages in the
Russia carried out a tactical retreat from the Kharkiv Oblast and moved those forces to the Donetsk region. Yes, they surrendered territory. They retreated.
During the current offensive, according to Ukrainian sources, Ukrainian troops are suffering at least 5 times the casualties of Russia and its allies.
Russia’s Air Force is intact and has suffered minimal losses while Ukraine’s Air Force has been erased.
Russia is producing its own missiles, rockets and artillery shells and is not dependent on another country to continue its fire missions while Ukraine is totally dependent, now, on western supplies.
In its current offensive in the Kharkiv oblast Ukraine has failed to carry out an operation in depth–its attacks have been confined to the frontlines while Russia’s artillery and missiles continue to rain down on exposed Ukrainian troops.
Eventually the decline of Russia will lead to the rise of Turkey and a new Ottoman Empire.
Magog vs. Israel.
If it’s in the mainstream press, it’s a lie.
Russia is dropping in world ranks in population, GDP, and military might.
Russia ranked 9th in the world in population. But they were the only nation in the top 10 whose population was declining prior to the Ukraine war. Now people are fleeing Russia due to dictatorial actions such as the clamp down on free speech, fear of being conscripted, and economic turmoil. And war casualties are mounting. Mexico’s population will soon surpass Russia dropping Russia to 10th place.
Russia ranked 11th in GDP. But sanctions and war are both taking their toll. Russian GDP is forecasted to drop by at least 10% next year and Yale says the Russian economy is headed for “economic oblivion”. A forecast they double downed on this week.
South Korea, Australia and Iran close behind Russian in economic GDP and will surpass Russia leaving Russia in 14th place.
Russia was ranked the #2 military behind the US. But #3 China outspends Russia by almost 3 to 1. And #4 India outspends Russia by 2 to 1.
Ukraine was ranked #30 in 2013. But had risen to #22 before Russia invaded.
I see Russia falling to at least 6th place behind the US, China, India, Japan, South Korea. (Nuclear weapons not considered). And I see Ukraine advancing above #15, possibly even into the top 10.
Probably not a problem since they are still taking ground. Ukraine has win in a battle and you would think it is all over. LOL
Yeah, Joey and Z win.
The Middle East is caught between the US and Russia. Between the Iran Deal, Syria, and Libya, the US has showed them our national policy is not consistent or trustworthy, thank you Obama. Siding with Russia will make the US and Europe rivals and enemies, especially if Ukraine wins and Russia is militarily weakened.
Everyone on the side lines is waiting to see which way Ukraine goes and how world politics realigns. They want to avoid siding with the loser, and so far are not convinced who is going to win or by what margin.
Instead of producing ridiculous propaganda the better look at what has left from the US influence in ME.
