At $110,000 per troop, Russia will be bankrupt in no time, even if your numbers are only half right.

Else there will be a lot of upset troops ...

Good news. This would be an ideal time for China to take back some territories that Russia stole when it was weak. Vladivostok was one........

Vladivostok and surrounding territories in Russia’s Far East were ceded to Russia from China in 1860 through the Treaty of Beijing. This occurred during a period when China’s Qing dynasty was weakened following its defeat in the Second Opium War.

Keep in mind that they are zeepers. They are not creative, can't meme, can't think critically, can't identify propaganda narratives, etc. So it is not surprise! I laughed at it. 😂

our about page is full of Christian Bible verses so I wonder what God will think of the blood of a million dead on your dirty, neocon hands?

The blood is on the hands of those who support Putin who started this war - back in 2014.

Why do you support a bloodthirsty dictator like Putin?

I don't agree with the premise "Out of R's borders, always a disaster but within are tough"/

They defeated the Japanese in 1938 which is why Japan never attacked the USSR in WWII

And, the Germans won in 1917, pushing the Russian border heavily east

Finally, IF, in 1941 the Germans hadn't been homicidally killing civilians, then many of the Russians would have supported them - as Stalin was soo incredibly bad.

One side is already bankrupted and the IMF has trampled its own goverance to finance Ukraine. Ukrainians are forced into uniform, for the most part.

You are right, this can hurt Russia. But the difference in performance between those paid and those shanghi’d in any sitauation means Motivated vs Unmotivated.

I hate paying for this more than the Russians do. Our tax dollars pay for all Ukrainian government salaries, to include their military.

2924 looks like 3.9% growth in the Rusdian economy, and 4.1 in 25... overheating may be a Russian problem.

You have an exellent point.

Ukraine is finished. What economy? Shrinking population every month as people flee.

The IMF has outted itself as another western entity with it financing illegally per its own operating rules.

Even US and EU governments know Ukraine is defeated. They have to get past Nov 24, then Jan 25, for our Demorats and NATO-Cons. Just because Ukraine has not surrendered does not mean the outcome will reverse.

Russia turned the corner to victory in Jun 24 and the attack on beach go’ers in Crimea. In July the Russia increased quota for elimination of AFU manpower was topping 50k a month. July also saw 300k new soldiers complete training, and 330k more begin 6-8 months training.

Russia has constrained herself from using 800k already trained forces in Ukraine. Forgive me for Russia not yet sending more soldiers, and thank Russian partners in Brics. But remember in Aug Ukrainian negotiations ended concurrent with their Kursk attack aimed at a oil transit station and a NPP. Since Ukraine tricked India, China and Qutar they NO LONGER DEMAND RUSSIA NEGOTIATE nor demands Russia not use full force.

Fab bombs broke the stalemated war by demolishing NATO designed fortified lines, and only days ago the final 2014 town fell.

My timeline was but Ukraine has changed the calculation for victory by Russia from taking onky Crimea and regions to Brics allies understanding Russia may have to occupy the country.

Here is more to hold. Odessa will fall by Dec 25, without negotiations.

Kiev will unconditionally surrender by Dec 26 if they do not negotiate surrender first.

Most of the Zelinski government will die within one year if the conckusion of hositilities.
