I’m wondering when the Ukraine will run out of Ukrainians?

Silly and unfounded logic.

Russia doesn’t have the ability to threaten core US interests in Europe.

Which renders the Domino theory a ludicrous joke on dumbasses.

The Soviet Union’s danger was the influence it had over influential people in Western institutions.

Modern Russia only has support from fringe elements who have little power to influence anything.

Fundamentally this is the big difference between Russia and The Soviet Union.

they won’t

Russia will collapse internally long before then

Russia is losing $50 billion every month from lost O & G sales ... that’s a lot of lost money

As I understand, the Russian use dummy drones to draw enemy fire for two reasons:
1. to draw enemy fire so that they don’t have time to reload for the real missile coming behind.
2. Draw enemy fire so as to locate it’s coordinates and be taken out by the next incoming.

You're predicting Russian behavior assuming they have Canuck values.

It is true that Canucks will cut one another's throats over graft money, and have appointed the Prime Minister and installed the Bureaucracy to wield the knife on their fellow citizens.

However Russians may take a different tack and vent their anger on deserving Globalists outside of Russia.

“deserving Globalists” ??

what the bleep are you talking about?

Russia started this war on Feb. 23rd, unprovoked ... Russia is 100% to blame

“how does Russia plan on paying for all the damage they’re causing? this will end up being real expensive for them”

Good to see you’re finally seeing the end game. Yes, Russia will not get any help from the West to rebuild Ukraine after fully liberating it - that’s obvious (after all why provide humanitarian help to Ukraine if they’re no longer able to throw bodies at Russians?).

As to cost, the resources in Ukraine, which Greta would not allow the West to exploit, should just about cover the cost to rebuild the country.

Yes, apparently, however, there are non-dummy drones in the mix for targets of opportunity, and the dummys have the ability to spoof a wide range of aerial vehicles.

2. Draw enemy fire so as to locate it’s coordinates and be taken out by the next incoming.

According to Tass, your #2 is correct:

Russian forces deliver massive strike on Ukrainian command centers, defense industry sites December 30, 2022

You don't need to worry about what I say or express frustration about it, you need to worry about what Russians think.

You believe Russians think like Canucks.

Most likely they don't.

Most likely you will not be able to force them to do so.

You need to convince Russians, not me.

You can do that personally, any time you want.

Russia doesn’t have the ability now. But one year ago we thought they did. And if they continued to get richer, they would have threatened, if they weren’t so incredibly corrupt

Stop repeating lies.

14k Donbas civilians were not killed.

That is a lie and you should stop repeating it.

Estimated number of fatalities caused by the war was 14,200–14,400 as of the end of December 2021, including non-combat military deaths.

Ukrainian government forces lost a confirmed total of 4,641 killed servicemen by late February 2022,

The separatists reported that they had lost 1,400 men at most as of the beginning of February 2015. The United Nations reported 6,500 separatists were killed by the end of June 2021

By this point, the UN confirmed 3,404 civilians had been killed in the conflict. Of the civilian deaths, 312 were foreigners: 298 passengers and crew of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, 11 Russian journalists, an Italian journalist, one Russian civilian killed in cross-border shelling and a Lithuanian diplomat.

Most civilian deaths occurred in 2014 and 2015. From 2016 to 2021 there were 365 civilians deaths, and in 2021 there were 25.

Stop repeating the lie

Russia liberating Ukraine you say?

You probably think that the Nazis liberated the Jews too, right?

Ordinary Russians don’t gain much from the economy. Russia has a Hini coefficient like Nigeru. The bulk of the wealth goes to Putin and his cronies

“Russia liberating Ukraine you say?”

In some parts of Ukraine, yes, other parts maybe, other parts no. In any case, I just say that to tweak you guys.
