More importantly Russia has lost the respect and fear the world once had for its conventional military. China can’t help but look upon Russia’s Siberian treasure house and its rich far eastern Pacific lands in a whole new light.

I’m genuinely surprised Daily Mail didn’t claim Russia’s Ukraine losses surpassed WW2.

China won’t invade a weakened Russia outright. Rather, China will wait for (and possibly secretly encourage) a civil war inside Russia and have themselves invited in by the side that still controls the nuclear weapons.

I’m very skeptical of these numbers. The US is open about these statistics. Russia is not.

How are they arriving at these numbers?

Who knows what shape China’s military is in? They do have the manpower advantage. Would they launch nukes at each other?

You would think Russian generals remembered about Ukrainian MUD that’s been bogging them down here and there ... it hasn’t been that long.

Putin claims that he invaded Ukraine to protect the ethnic Russians living there. Perhaps China will someday invade Siberia to “protect” the ethnic Chinese living there.

Wouldn’t that be ironic?

MSM said Russia lost 20,000 in the first month of the war. Close enough I guess not that I trust any numbers being reported by anybody.

Bump!

Putin was the accountant. He is referred to among some Russians as the RF Engineer. That confused me at first. I thought of a radio frequency engineer. What that meant was:

“Russian Federation Engineer”

Afghanis had those mountains and caves to hide in that they knew well for generations. Quite a different fight there. Never underestimate the role of geography in warfare.

I can tell dailymail Ukraine articles by reading the headline.

Russia has deployed about 15% of its professional forces and will still win against everything NATO can throw at them. They are going to win this war. 2,400 swastika-festooned AZOV “heroes” surrendered at Avostal this week. 15,000 of their best forces are about to be encircled within days in Sverodonetsk. They were equipped with unlimited western weapons and 8 years of NATO training. This debacle will be the end of NATO, the EU and the Petrodollar and you can blame it on the West’s feasting on its own propaganda.
