Russia - threadbanned users in OP

I've contacted a mod anyway

Once again, an assertion seemingly based on no experience or evidence. Ukraine made its most effective gains in this war when it was provided with the hardware needed which allowed its smarter military leaders to execute their plans. It has relied on virtually zero foreign mercenary assistance on the ground. It sent the full force of the Russian army packing from the capital without resorting to throwing bodies into the meatgrinder. The only time it has lost significant numbers of men has been when it has had to adopt a full rear-guard action trying to defend strategic positions. Which has come about purely as a result of being starved of equipment.

Can you clarify, do you think Russia are pursuing a genocidal agenda in Ukraine?

In relation to the military industrial complex, it's state money that is disappearing into resources that have no long term benefit. On top of that, huge shortages of workers due to them dying in the war... Long term you can't run an economy on the war you're running.

Good grief Russia is up the creek its economy is on the brink the population is in sharp decline and within 10 years Russia will have broken up into a number of mini states. Sovit style collapse all over again. Its inevitable. Even China want to be friendly with the west more so than Russia. I even wager North Korea and Iran regret sending what weapons they had to Russia. In short no mater what pro Russia posters say here and elsewhere the truth has a tendency to keep showing up.

Attack on Russian airfield, Crimea.

Russians continue to advance near Chasiv Yar and north and west of Avdiivka as Ukrainians have crippling weapons and shell shortages.

If this keeps up through the summer they will lose significant territory. If Israel situation continues to escalate there's little hope of US giving any aid to Ukraine

Mask slipping further, Westerns are "they" and not "we".

Easy to have no rough sleepers in Russia when they can be just rounded up and sent to the front lines to obsorb bullets, and no one dares to question it for fear of the same happening to them,

Interesting .. probably all off to the Ukraine front. Also a possible sign that he RA is spread too thin now

Russia will pull out all of its nearly 2,000 troops from Azerbaijan’s Karabakh region, the Kremlin said in a surprise announcement just six months after they watched a forced mass exodus of the region’s Armenian population.

Where did you get your 300 billion from? In Afghanistan, the US spent 30 trillion, no problem. Still standing strong. Really? As soon as there's an uptick in the weapons supply, (and there will be) Europe is still getting its act together when it comes to weapons production, then we will see just how strong Putin will stand. He's not going to be allowed to win, which would be rewarding him for his illegal invasion. You do regard Putin's invasion as being illegal Veda Kind Yak? Yes or no?

I should think it more surprising if they'd stayed. In fact, I was surprised they'd still been there 'til now. Artsakh was dissolved in January.
