Apples to oranges comparison.

Ukraine doesn’t have the apartment buildings and hospitals to blow up advantage, that Russia has.

We are talking military casualties. Glad you finally acknowledge Azov and Ukraine have been using apartments and hospitals as human shields, barracks and military installments.

Oh you asshats clearly don’t want to talk civilian casualties that’s pretty obvious. I’m guessing you don’t have an official Russian state media number you can point to on that yet 🤡

Based on what? So what if Russia "defaults" on Western debt? WTF is the West going to do about it?

Are they going to go to war over it when they already have close to $300 billion of their reserves stolen already?

Or will they keep their stolen reserves and call a "default" which will trigger a derivatives contagion?

Which road with they choose?

Oh I guess their debt to GDP ratio won’t go up if they can’t find a lender huh? Bold move Cotton 😂

Their total debt won’t cause a mild cold in the world debt market but it will close off everything but Xi’s payday lender program. Good thing they’ve still got Sevastopol that they can offer up to China as loan collateral for more Silk Road Chicom expansion 🤡

I’m guessing it’s a twofer. Both ours and Russia’s will spike. That assumes Russia can find a lender of last resort.

Well, obviously in the short term, this will be a shock to the Russian economy.

But in the long term, do you really think Russia will be needing a lender from The West at this point?

I'm being serious. With a commodity rich country that has people that are lining up to buy whatever they have, do you really, truly believe that Russia is like some 3rd world country that is living hand to mouth and dependent on IMF loans?

LMAO they are a pariah and they will be selling their resources for pennies on the dollar out of unmarked panel vans on side streets just like your other favorite group, the Persians 😂

The Bidens aren't important enough to have puppets. He himself is only president because the dems needed a familiar face from the obama administration.

As VP under Obama, and then POTUS, Biden may not be THE major player, but he is certainly A major player over there. Along with others in the DC community.

Ukraine was a playground for these American oligarchs to use as both a sheep to fleece and as a potential staging ground for Russia... so that they could fleece it in the same manner as they did in the 1990s under Boris Yeltsin. Once Putin got into power, all of their money began to gradually dry up in Russia.

It's lower than you think it is. Likely that Azov has killed more civilians than Russia.

These guys are too far ahead of the truth. They will eventually see the testimonials of the refugees as they move back to these areas and then they will have to reconcile themselves with either believing the mainstream media narrative or testimonies of the Ukrainian, Greeks, Romanis and Russians that eventually move back to Ukraine.

This is why I laugh when these fools wax poetic about Ukrainian sovereignty. It's a pathetic joke.

They have very little external debt already. What little debt they do have can be easily replaced by China or India. Or... shrewd investors from The West like JPMorgan.

The Russians have all the energy the Chinese need and are in the process of building more pipelines that are scheduled to be ready in 2025. If The Chinese have already secured ports in the Mediterranean in Greece, so no need for Sevastopol port leasing...

China bought most of Greece’s main port and now it wants to make it the biggest in Europe
