anyone who thinks they know is most probably going to be wrong.
 
Russia is in a vice getting crushed economically, what would be going through Putins mind now? Win big or lose it all, there is no going back now. Estonia has roughly 24-25% ethic Russian population, also in Nato. This is logically the next point of escalation.
See how many Rubles the Nato contract with Estonia is worth, think Putin would see that hand

The Baltics are out of the question unless a new government drops NATO. Not sure if that will happen.

This war is going to cripple Russia for years. For a decade at least.

China might bail them out and keep them afloat somehow. That might have been part of the planning between Vlad and Xi pre-winter olympics.

Go back through the Trump thread and reread all the posts on trump/Russia connection. It ended up a bunch of bs along with the whole Russiagate. We could probably get more Russian links out of Hillary/Biden.

Trump imposed some of the harshest sanctions on putin and I'm sure Biden reversed them. Trump sent military hardware while Biden/Obama sent the equivalent of blankets. I also doubt that Putin would have entered Ukraine under Trump. Trump has zero political decorum.
His calls on nato were correct imo.

But still they try and stretch any link into a supposed "fact".
To pull up on each dumb allegation in that article takes time when it was already debunked before.
Just like he was supposedly "Going to jail" in the other thread. How many times before it stops being luck?

Isolated Putin’s only lifeline: become Xi’s puppet

Evidence is mounting that Xi Jinping knew of Russia’s impending invasion of Ukraine and positioned China to be uniquely supportive. But why? It would suit Xi for Russia - the international pariah state - to become China’s vassal state.
www.theage.com.au www.theage.com.au

And from the article,

China’s President Xi Jinping alone has the power to keep the Russian economy functional and Putin in power. The Moscow share and derivatives market remains shut because the authorities know what would be revealed if it allowed them to open. How?

Because the securities of 27 of Russia’s biggest companies continued trading in London for a few days until they were suspended this week. And the losses were horrendous. Before suspension, they’d lost between 90 and 100 per cent of their value since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. The sanction-hit Sberbank was down by 99.7 per cent to trade for just one penny, for instance. Oil giant Lukoil had lost 99.2 per cent.

“In reality,” reported London’s Financial Times, “many Western banks, refineries and shipowners are in effect ‘self sanctioning’ – behaving as if Russian oil has already been placed under sanctions. ‘Russia’s oil has effectively become toxic,’ said one banker.”

The prominent Russian economist Maxim Mironov writes: “I’m often asked about economic sanctions. In short, my scientific conclusion, as a finance professor and PhD from Chicago University – the Russian economy is f---ed.”

Russia is now toast. Vlad has dramatically miscalculated on this one and I think Xi let him do it so Russia would become beholden to China. Potentially part of China's long-term grand strategic plan to take control of everything.

The only thing that's now stopping China is an internal uprising and geography. They are still trapped in East Asia surrounded by countries who are increasingly growing in their hatred. I envisage ASEAN becoming a security block with links to FPDA, ANZUS, AUKUS, and the US-Japan Security Alliance, in the near term. Ultimately, China will be toasted too.
 
I admit I am no expert but a couple of things seem to have occurred and it's unintentional.

First, NATO would seem to have been re-energised and that in only a couple of weeks. Totally unexpected. I have heard that now both Finland and Sweden are considering membership. That's amazing to me.

And the same with the EU. It appears to have bonded more than was the case previously.

Sure, Russia will probably resort to a standard tactic of surrounding and reducing places to rubble (We have to destroy the village in order to save it concept) but the further West it goes the greater the opposition appears to be.

While Russia will more than likely occupy the Ukraine, it will have the issue of continuing holding it. That will further consume resources and will be costly in lives - on both sides. Wonder which population won't be thrilled to see all the body-bags coming home.

Apparently Russia is cremating their dead soldiers in the field with mobile crematoriums, so their won’t be body bags heading back to Russia.

Zelenskyy Says Russians Are Carrying Cremation Chambers Into Ukraine

The Ukrainian leader alleged that the chambers are to dispose of Russian troops who have been killed, thereby obscuring the true number of casualties.

Came across this analysis of the causes of the current Russian invasion of Ukraine. It references a lecture delivered in 2015 which developed a case that The West was to blame for problems in the Ukraine.
Well worth checking out IMV.



 
Looking on the bright side, we may have found the solution for global warming. Fuel is unaffordable. But if that's not enough, a nuclear winter for the next few hundred years should keep those rays at bay :p
 
Interesting thing going on in Twitter. Authoritarian lefties fully support Ukraine and cnn narrative.

Libertarian lefties are saying Obama started the Ukraine war via coup back in 2014. Followed up by negative Russian disinformation.
And now propaganda.
They don't support what Russia is doing. But say it is and was started by the US warmongers.
