American economy seems to be booming although my post wasn't talking just short term more in general. I'm shocked by this because certain markets are genuinely struggling.
If America adopts a selfish approach going forward it only makes sense they will absolutely prosper.
Both Trump and Burden have made some extremely questionable decisions. Imagine a president who was the best of both.
is it now time for ukraine to focus on moscows power supply or are they better to keep going on shadow fleet and oil refineries
Ukraine withdraws from Siversk
Plus N Korea is too cut off from the world economy for sanctions to make much difference. Anyway I imagine Russia and China weren't implementing them.
Ukraine's demographics weren't great either, before or after the war.
I think Putin invaded Ukraine simply because he thought it would be easy to annex the whole country.
Crimea and the Donbass were easy, so why wouldn't he think that.
Ukraine's been part of Russia for a lot of it's history, so the people would just accept it.
Well Crimea was easy. But the Ukrainians had driven the Russians out of places like Sloviansk and Kramatorsk that they have now been trying to recapture for almost 4 years.
Russia had been paying a lot of agents, and treachery allowed them capture Kherson, but many of the agents took Putin's money and then told all to Ukraine. In this, as in other matters, Moscow had a false picture of how easy it might be.
Report that Australian donated Abrams tanks have already seen action in Pokrovsk. Seems a crazy story since we were assured recently on this thread that putin's terrorists had taken complete control in the area.
Clever
They really underestimated Ukraine. They didn't even send enough troops during the initial invasion.
Apparently lots of their troops in the early stages were military police and national guard as they were expecting them to only need to keep the peace.
I wonder what would've happened had Russia taken Kiev within 3 days as planned?
Would they have installed their own government and leaders be in control by now?
Or would that be impossible and it just be a bloody insurgency for years?
IMO, no, the best target is the Power of Siberia pipeline to China, which likely earns the Orcs around 15% of their foreign income.
It's very simple. Russia is in too deep. Putin can't achieve his most basic war aims and the economy couldn't take an instant peace.
'Holding a wolf by the ears'
It’s no secret he has spent a lot of his time here in recent years. It looks like it’s well defended.

Someone may have been promoted to cosmonaut in Moscow this evening (another car bomb)
I'd say they would. They may well be doing it by degrees already attacking areas where he might be or those in his inner circle?
Putin is obviously a huge obstacle to peace. Nobody else is as personally committed to risking the country’s ruin in a foreign war. However, a new leader could also have a rocky time managing an angry army returning to a shattered economy.
With this in mind the West should stop chasing peace and just all eyes on defeating Russia.
Now that I have some time over Christmas, does anybody have any good pro-ruZZian links where I could bait and troll these awful people?
Good enough for them. I'll have no sympathy for their victims at home in Russia. No doubt their barbaric leaders will be encouraging the returning soldiers to keep up the raping while they ban abortions: the motherland has to replace the hundreds of thousands of young men whose lives they squandered somehow.
Synthetic rubber plant reported to have caught fire in putin's terrorist state.
I think like Milosevic in the 1990s Balkan Wars, Putin has pumped up the expectations of the ultranationalists so much that if he may have started a fire he can't put out even if he wanted to.
But silencing liberal voices since he came to power (especially since the 2011 protests), he has boxed himself into a corner, being dependent only on hardliners.
Gonna be lots of russians looking over their shoulder for the rest of their lives
President Zelensky talking about accepting a withdrawal by the Ukrainian army from the Donbass. I didn't see that coming. We could be approaching the end game.
The traffic police were involved in torturing POWs?

We’re not.
Putin knows once the war ends he ends.
And so it will continue until Ukraine is given the proper tools to finish Russia off.
Some reports on twitter that they were fighting in Ukraine previously
More fires, good
Hard to know what happened from the scant media reports. The bomber may have committed suicide, accidentally set the explosives off, or killed himself to kill the two policemen?
Nice hits hopefully
