Russia will not win this war

[MrMan]

In regard to the Ukraine, its pretty obvious it was a key location for the globohomo regime in DC and the NATO homosexuals. They had a number of bio labs there, human/sex trafficking, money laundering, etc. They wanted to bring it into NATO and put missiles there pointing in Russia. What would any leader do? Wait until the right moment and take them out. I don't blame Putin one bit.

I did not know about the homosexual, sex trafficking, and money laundering things. Is Ukraine a lot more libertine than Russia on social issues, and it's leaking over and contaminating the ethics of Russian society?

The last I heard, NATO said it would not accept Ukraine, but that may have been a public statement, and maybe the Russians thought there was reason to behave otherwise, and decided to 'mark their territory.' I would imagine they want a bit of a buffer zone like they had in the USSR days.

Wow you are out of touch. Anywhere the US goes....the first thing they do is impose a legal system and education system that promotes homosexuality, feminism, transgender, blm, etc. They did this in Iraq, Aghanistan, etc. The Afghanis especially hated it and made fun of it.....when Americans fleed from Afghanistan the Taliban guys made memes and posted them of Americans running away with rainbow flags LOL!!! Any adversarial nation the US/NATO always fly gay rainbow flags and put out the black lives matter flag. It is bizarre. Yes, Russians don't want these values.
The US/NATO were establishing missile sites in Ukraine that could carry nuclear devices and the President of Ukraine was even speaking of this. You think the Russians want that next door? Nope.

[MrMan]

I haven't seen US news talking about rainbow flags in other countries, but if I were a head of state of another country, I would not want foreign powers promoting this evil garbage either. Putin mentioned something about weapons dangerous to Russia. I read something about the possibility of weapons in Ukraine, but maybe the Russians had some intelligence, and that is what this is all about.

As bad as the LGBT propaganda is, it seems unlikely that Russia would invade a nation that large to get rid of the rainbow flags.

@publicduende and @Cornfed how could you think Putin is a good sane man?

Do you know his history? In the 90s Russia was a failed joke state owned and operated by a handful of mainly Jewish black marketeers. They allowed Yeltsin to pretend to be President on account of him being an alcoholic who was only functional for 3 hours a day. They picked Putin to replace him out of the relative obscurity of St. Petersburg politics thinking they would have a similar arrangement, but Putin quietly took control of the Special Forces and the prisons, and soon the black marketeers were mostly in exile or in jail.

Then Russia was rebuilt as a real country again with great economic progress at least partial progress in restoring normal human society as far as religion and families go, while keeping out the cancer of globo-homo NGOs. What is not to like?

Exactly. What Putin did for Russia in a relatively short timespan has been nothing short of monumental. Russia has fully transitioned to a market economy and a net energy exporter, without compromising too much on the uber-liberal agenda that seems to be one the main driver of social degeneracy all around the world.

The fall of the Soviet Union was a tragedy and I am not a commie.

What?
You have no idea what nonsense you are writing here.

I was born luckily 15 miles away from the iron curtain on the western side (but still under Russian occupation) and I am happy to see that these horrible borders between West and East Europe are finally gone.

Living conditions of millions of people in former Soviet controlled countries considerably improved after Russia had to dismantle this useless political system and could not maintain it any longer.

Didn't the life expectancy of Russian men drop by almost a decade in the 90s?

It has nothing to do with LGBT of course.

The invasion of Ukraine was a failure, which will cost Russia a lot of money.

It was a crazy idea of Putin, who lost his mind. He is too long in power. He became greedy for power as many other dictators, he is not a single case. He created laws to make him president for life, created laws even which offer him immunity for life, he is now suffering of megalomania and anxiety neurosis. - He should resign, retire.

There is no justification to invade another country nearby if you are in control of such a huge land as Russia.
He miscalculated the situation and did not expect any resistance in Ukraine, but it is not so easy to occupy a country of 40+ million people who do not want to live under Russian ideology.

While Russia is huge by land size, its population is relatively small with only 145+ million people. About 30+ million are living far away in underpopulated Siberia, often not Russian by ethnicity. This means, in the European part of Russia are only about 115 million people.
Not so many if you consider EU has over 440 million people (not including Ukraine...)

If you give them alcohol and send them into combat, this is the logical result.
Over half a million Soviet troops served in Afghanistan between 1979 and 1989.

If Putin continues with Ukraine, the life expectancy of Russian men will likely drop even more in future.

It was easier before while Russia was still controlling the now defunct Soviet Union. Russia was the bully of all other countries nearby - all what was missing in Russia, they just took away from the others, looting was always a Russian strength.

Life expectancy of Russian men is indeed very low. In 2019, it was about 69 years, while it was 78 for women. Gender equality? Ask Putin...

[Yohan]

Yohan, I thought war boosted the economy like it did for the US economy in WW2. Why would war ruin an economy? For the US economy of WW2 is was massively profitable and brought the US out of the Great Depression. Remember?

It was the end of WWII and US was the only intake fully functioning major power at that time, but this was 1945, it was 77 years ago...
Times are changing.

But after WWII where do you see any profitable war for the US?
Korean war, Vietnamese war, Afghanistan war, Iraq war?

Now it is the same of course, but for Russia of course.+ Where do you see any profit for Putin?

Run on the Russian banks after interest rate is hiked to TWENTY per cent in desperate bid to stop rouble crashing:

Western sanctions continue to savage Putin's economy amid floundering Ukraine invasion
The Bank of Russia raised key interest rate from 9.5 per cent to 20 per cent today as the rouble value tumbled
Russian rouble dropped to as low as 119 per dollar in early trading Monday morning and also fell on the Euro
It tumbled beyond previous low of 90 roubles per dollar - with it last at 109 - prior to the invasion of Ukraine
It comes as Russian economy plummeted 30 per cent to all-time low as the West's sanctions began to bite

Moscow's central bank has more-than doubled the interest rate to 20 per cent
Russia orders people and companies to sell 80 per cent of their revenue in foreign currencies, forcing them to buy the ruble to help prop it up
Moscow stock exchange won't open until at least 3pm in an attempt to head off all-out crash

...the Russian rouble plummeted 30 per cent overnight to an all-time low as the West's sanctions over the Ukraine war start to squeeze the economy.

The European Central Bank also warned on Monday that the European subsidiary of the Russian state-owned Sberbank - one of the Russian banks under UK sanctions - was facing bankruptcy.

It isn't real. It is Digital Combat Simulation.

Who cares. It's the Spirit of Ukraine.

[Cornfed]

Who cares. It's the Spirit of Ukraine.

Under the current regime, the spirit of Ukraine is paying for Hunter Biden's crack and one man's penis in another man's anus.

Senility, mental problems, etc. are a possible reason. But Russia could have intelligence about something specific or some specific things we are not privy too.

This idiotic Ukraine war is the idea of Putin, a dictator who made a good start, but he did not understand when it is time to retire. Greedy for power. A case of megalomania and anxiety neurosis.

In future, should he be able to hold his position, he will find himself in big trouble with EU because of the horrible failure of his Ukraine invasion.

For Japan Putin has been nothing but an overall big disappointment, nothing improved between Japan and Russia since he came to power.
Diplomatic relationship is still on its lowest formal level and even a basic peace contract ending WWII was not possible to achieve with him.

Daily harassments from Russia with warplanes, daily harassment of local fishing boats, no contact/visits to people possible who are living on the other side of the narrow sea border - so far there is no friendly and stable relationship between Japan and Russia.
