      @SLOWLYdoesit1 Месяц назад +15

      Agree, but one cannot dismiss the efficacy of the sanctions- they just take time to take effect and must be constantly tightened which they are. Look to the success of shipping companies involved in mid-ocean transfer of oil (shuttle shipping). Tightened in October-November’23. In February 24 over 90% of global shippers had stopped touching Russian oil- even returning it in some cases... Serbia’s economy is still undergoing retardation from sanctions decades after lifting- and they were tiny in comparison to Russian sanctions.

    I witnessed a drone strike targeting a Russian tank just one day ago. Approximately seven soldiers were on top of the tank, hitching a ride, and all of them jumped off before the impact, failing to save themselves. I paused the frame just before the strike and noticed that they were all wearing rubber Wellington boots, indicating a severe lack of basic equipment. Whether you have 10 well-equipped troops or 100 poorly equipped ones, numerical superiority does not guarantee effectiveness. Additional troops require resources for sustenance, clothing, and maintenance, ultimately reducing efficiency. This incident highlights their inability to reach a sustainable level of readiness. It's not about having more troops, but rather about their quality and morale.

      Problem is Putin's 70 years old and all his inner circle hate each other. Normal dictatorship stuff. At some point it becomes a prisoner's dilema for the guys at the top, you eighter take over or someone else does and gets you executed. So when it eventually collapse a regime like this tends to implode faster tan a minisub full of millionaires.

Gold reserves dwindling, Oil production falling (but being stated as production cuts), inflation matching or exceeding increases in income, more people leaving the country via various means of escape, FSB increasingly overtaxed and unable to respond rapidly to a terrorist attack, Nuclear weapons "modernization" using antiquated technology, inability to defend against repeated Naval attacks by Ukraine, Defense minister public pronouncements not always reflective of reality.

    The effects of secondary sanctions are beginning to work their way through the Russian economy. Since the beginning of 2024, banks in Turkey have severed nearly all financial ties with Russia. The UAE (which recently joined the BRICS) has similarly begun exiting the Russian market. Cyprus, once a safe haven for the Russian ultra-rich, announced it would begin partnering with financial crimes specialists from the U.S. FBI to root out sanctions evasion.

Russia will not recover anytime soon from this. none the less the brain drain, generation gaps from WW2 still this is going to hurt Russia in the future from lack of skilled workers and lack of young people around from a brutal world war then losing 500k to another war. none the less their economy is being artifically propped up and will have to stop doing that sooner then later. so tick tock, times running out for Russia.

No way will the Kremlin risk war with NATO and Putin is not foolish enough to attempt another attempt on Kiev after the last disaster. Watch what happens on the NATO side as Russian troops move West.......if they ever get that far which is a big IF at this point.

      Ukraine is defending all of Europe against russian expansionism. A creature like Putin won't stop: he envies the free world.

      I agree. Personally i don't trust anything that has not gone through thorough vetting by a autocratic dictatorship that kills political opposition. That is how you know it is truly unbiased, not ending up as a victim to propaganda.

    Amazing Russia will have to start using dishwashers as well as the Washing machines and shovels. How many of Russia's 6500 nukes has Russia used so far?

    The optimal sound volume should be in the middle of the scale so that in the case you want to hear it louder you can turn the sound up. I have difficulty to hear it properly at my work, even in the loudest position, so I skip Times Radio from now on.

    Ifn as a smaller partner to a conflict one believes that the consequences aren't existential, it's often a good strategy to attack a much larger opponent.
