  • A wall of text to a simple question. Classic.

    What metrics can you provide that Russia is getting weaker and not steonger? With the advent of BRICS this will only continue at a greater pace. Countries like Russia and China are ascendant.

    I mentioned depleted stockpiles specifically, but go ahead and pretend I was talking about economics.

    Russia is fighting an existential threat on their border. That’s what they’re trying to accomplish.

    So they take all of Ukraine. Russia now has a border with a nato country, the thing they’re allegedly going to war to prevent. Fucking brilliant.


  • Hey quick question, let’s assume everything you think about Russia is true. Why is putin playing along? Why is he emptying soviet vehicle stockpiles and losing troops on droves to a place he said in 2014 he could take in 2 weeks? If the US or NATO actually wanted to invade Russia, now is better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be even better. So why continue a war that only weakens Russia?

    I guess the ultimate question is what is putin trying to accomplish with the invasion?
