Up to this point in the thread, we have 11 that see clearly and one who self-decieves.

Let’s be even more honest.

Democrats like you post on FR to try and muddle things up.

Go paint pictures with Hunter.

The US wants this war to last forever

seems like Russia is expending a whole lot of money & effort itself to keep this going

make sure you blame them too, after all they only started this war by illegally invading an innocent country 10 months ago

An article predicated on a conversation with a dude named, “Matt.” How can this drivel be posted here but zero hedge is banned?

"The pro-Putin cult goes on and on."

You are just PO'd that FR is an open forum that can resist leftist naming and shaming tactics. NWO Forever War clowns are shrill freaks.

China does not expend his resources, personnel or Military in Proxy Wars. They win by control of manufacturing and buying off countries. Unlike us they expect a return on investment.

Unfortunately, FR has a lot of delusional posters. There is overwhelming evidence that our Deep State government has been engaged in plans to “weaken, destabilize and create regime change in Russia” for many years now. Not because Putin’s Russia has done anything to harm us. But, because this is our foreign policy for dealing with powerful competitors. The Deep State insists on trying to maintain worldwide hegemony.

Every move our government has made in this disaster from deliberately provoking the bear to nonstop escalation has failed miserably. Now we are upping the ante even further and Russia is responding by beginning a massive remilitarizing program. Really, we just couldn’t get any dumber.

Russian military prepares for conflict with neocons and NATO

Alexander: Putin says again, and he has said this several times, the West’s goal is to destroy Russia; to dismember it. That Russia therefore is in a state of confrontation with the West. This is going to be an enduring and long lasting one and the Russians have, therefore, been pushed into a position where they have no choice but to remilitarize.

And this is going to be a military build up on an enormous scale. Another half a million men joining the Russian army. Ten motorized rifle divisions being created, Three of them are completely new. Seven will be developed out of brigades. There is going to be more emphasis on strategic weapons. More emphasis on the air force; but the priority is now going to be the ground forces. As I’ve said 10 motorized infantry divisions. Two new military districts in Moscow and in the Leningrad region that is the area that surrounds St. Petersburg. A new army corp opposite Finland in Kraelia. Beefing up of Russian tank divisions and tank forces. This wasn’t fully spelled out. A massive expansion of the Russian army. Two more air assault divisions. Now the Soviet Union had 7 paratroop divisions. Russia is now going to have six; but supplementing those six paratroop divisions there’s going to be all kinds of independent air mobile brigades and all that sort of thing so ultimately Russia’s air borne divisions will probably outnumber what the Soviet Union deployed. And five naval infantry divisions replacing naval infantry brigades.

And another thing was an enormous increase in Russian military production and Putin is talking about the fact that military production increased very significantly in 2022; but that it is going to increase by orders of magnitude in 2023 and beyond. He said we have the financial resources to do it...our economy is in good shape. We are fully capable of doing this. We don’t need to do what the Soviet Union did which is militarize our entire society and militarize our entire economy because we have the resources, we have the factories, we have the scientists, we have the engineers, we have the laboratories. We have all these things and we have the production facilities going as well.

So the West is now in an arms race in Europe. It is going to face a Russian military juggernaut which is heading in it’s direction because let’s be absolutely clear what’s coming and it’s going to squash Ukraine in it’s path.

Its a mistake to think China is just sitting there with its feet up...they're busy replacing the United States in strategic areas.

Just compare Xi's recent visit to KSA to Biden's for example...who was better received and who got more accomplished?

The rest of the world is tired of the corrupt Western hegemon and proactive steps are being taken to replace it.

Never let the the obvious get in the way of a good set of conspiracy theories.

It’s entertaining to watch so many of these knuckleheads and armchair sleuths try to top each other with their “here is what is really going on” fabrications, so don’t spoil my fun.

And Merry Christmas to you, too.

“Why do you support the Democrats?”

I just pointed out that there is no difference between the establishment and the Democrats on Ukraine. What do you see is the difference?
