Kudos to the 8.Interesting group of people...
Lawmakers on left, right explain ‘no’ votes on Russia-Ukraine bill
Interesting only that its a long pro Pootin diatribe. The guy is a known Pootin jock sniffer and does his best to blame every one but Russia for what is going on in Ukraine. The de-Nazification part is hilarious as well. Using his logic Russia should be invading Asia, especially India and Indonesia for their extensive use of swastikas.Kind of long but a good read. I know most won’t because it doesn’t 100% line up with the status quo. But it’s interesting anyway.
Jacques Baud: The Military Situation In The Ukraine - Update. - Labour Heartlands
What a load of crap. You dont actually believe this do you? Come on. Be real.
Volgr, as a typical russian plant, doesnt understand the concept of a Pyrrhic victory, if you can even call what Russia is doing that. The Russian military is like a barrel full of monkeys trying to f##k a football.Do I "believe" Russia's military is doing horribly in Ukraine?
Nope. I don't believe, I know. The evidence is right there in front of all of us.
Fact:
* Between 15K to 23K Russian soldiers are KIA.
* Normal ratio to wounded indicates another 30K to 45K Russian soldiers are wounded, captured, out of action.
* Between 8 to 10 Russian generals are KIA.
* The Russian flagship Moskva is sunk.
* Russia retreated from the entire Kyiv region.
* Despite its concentrated attacks in the Donbass region, Russia is making no meaningful advances.
* Ukraine's pipeline of incoming artillery and other weapons needed for the Donbass battle is just beginning to flow.
* Russian morale is in the dumpster.
* Russia is now losing about 20 tanks per day.
* Russia is so desperate and frustrated now that they are threatening nuclear war.
All of this occurred within a 2 months period.
This is completely unsustainable.
I don't believe Russia is fighting poorly, I know they are. The facts are right there, bro.
When Ukraine begins using our HIMARS long-range missile systems, Russian artillery in Donbass will likely become vulnerable if its EW can't jam or spoof them. If this happens, Russian troops and equipment will simply become sitting ducks.
Putin "heart failure" in 3, 2, 1...
It is considering Reps. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) are all for seizing rich American's money.Interesting group of people...

Outside of having to REACT to Western sanctions (which they are winding down btw), what are they doing? They can't help it if they are resource rich and are commodity rich.I cant speak for @NorthDallas40 , but pointing out that Russia is taking extraordinary measures to prop up the economy isn't whining.
Yeah... the headline. But in reality, there will likely not be a legal default called. I'm hedging a bit by saying "likely" because these people in The West are crazy, but if they call a legal default, then that would trigger a bunch of derivatives and credit default swaps. And bondholders and owners of Russian debt in The West will be pissed.The article he linked doesn't talk about propping up their economy. It deals with how they are to repay loans when they are virtually sanctioned from repaying them. They have the ability, but the west wants the default headline. It's ridiculous.

At what point do the massive amount of Ukrainian and merc POWs start to weigh Russia down? It's an endless stream of surrenders from these people that most of you tell me want to fight so badly to protect Ukraine (they dont, a lot these young men now are being forced into battle with little training).
