Russia isolated? That is a fantasy!
Except for the US and EU, the rest of the world is conducting business as usual with Russia.
Im still happy he likes and knows how to hold a puppy
Are you serious? Russia manufacturers missiles.
I wish. You and your Zelenski fanboys are like a pack of marauding teenagers gutting a 7-Eleven.
And these lies are never corrected by the people posting them here. Just on to the next lie, keep flooding the zone.
Japan isn’t, Taiwan’s TSCM isn’t, and they make 95% of all the chips used in high-tech devices
and if the sanctions weren’t effective, why did Putin shut off the gas flows on Sept. 1 until they are lifted?
if Russia is willing to lose $10 billion every week until the sanctions stop, the sanctions must be working
Yeah, that was my rhetorical point. Unless one stops Russia's ability to manufacture new missiles it seems a bit unwise to depend on them running out.
Now it all makes sense. That's why the Ukes have been shelling the Donbass all these years; so the children there won't be kidnapped.
So were the missiles Russia launched at Ukraine hypersonic missiles? After all, the “lies” never said that Russia was out of missiles, but rather that it was running low on hypersonic missiles.
It's not really about number of missiles, it's about tonnage of ordnance.
So, let's compare this piddly effort to Linebacker II.
On Day One of Linebacker II, 129 B-52s launched from Andersen and U-Tapao in three massive waves spaced at four-hour intervals. Each B-52 would carry 54,000 pounds (27 tons) of GP bombs. The total tonnage for day one is 3,483 tons of ordnance. These were dropped in and around Hanoi and Haiphong areas (2 cities and not all of North Vietnam).
If the missiles that Russia launched were the Kinzhal missile, then the warhead weight would be approximately 1000 pounds. 100 missiles would equal 50 tons of ordnance or 2 B-52 sorties.
It will take Russia 64 days to equal the tonnage of day 1 of Linebacker II.
Linebacker II lasted 11 days. So, it will take Russia over 23 months, firing 100 Kinzhal missiles per day, to equal the tonnage of Linebacker II.
Russia is not using Bomber aircraft...a clear indication they do not have air supremacy...but that is for discussion at a later time.
>> Now it all makes sense. That’s why the Ukes have been shelling the Donbass all these years; so the children there won’t be kidnapped. <<
In 2019, Zelenskyy defeated Petro Poroshenko in democratic elections.
No children were killed by shelling in the Donbass in 2019 or 2020.
Poroshenko, who had been installed as a result of the Maidan was bitterly unpopular for the conduct of the war, and was beaten by 3-to-1 by Zelenskyy, who represented the concialiarist party. Yuri Boyko, Russia-friendly candidate did far worse still, getting only 11% of the vote.
Russia’s oil exports are doing just fine.
Cutting off the EU is not going to hurt them.
PS: It is $10 billion per month....not week.
Gee, I wondered why ol Moonie would support Moscow....
Agree. And Russia never had soldiers without insignia illegally invading Ukraine. The fact is the Bolshevik Kremlin has lied to the world for over 100 years. Now they lie about Ukraine. Believe Kremlin lies if you wish. This MAGA conservative won’t be.
Agree.
It does seem like there are people who act as if Russia is literally out of missiles.
And it’s pretty funny how these few freeps started in full bore within hours of Russia’s attack. Before the average freeper even knew there was an attack. Almost as if they were agents of Uke Intelligence.
A breakdown from Russia of just what they’d shot would be informative, but probably unwise at this stage of the war. Ukes may be able to provide some information on with what they claim to have been hit. If they claim to have been hit by a bunch of relatively new, high grade stuff as opposed to having been hit by older or repurposed (eg. anti-aircraft missiles repurposed as surface to ground) stuff it may offer clues to the state of Russian stockpiles. But you’d have to consider their claims as potential propaganda.
They have been kidnapping kids as a part of this war? News to me.
Russia seems to be using this war to get rid of their old tanks and missiles. Easier way to save money than dismantling them. And we have to go and clean up their leftovers.
