War in Ukraine

[Paper_Towel]

Odd how some of these Countries taking in Ukrainian refugees are worried about their neo-Nazi problem.

Like Russia. Except the Ukrainians aren't refugees, they're just kidnapped.

Russia is going to end up owning most of our equipment

Ukraine has out armed the russian army rn. Ukraine is heavily armed and digging in. They have taken some strategic locations as well. Putin will be forced to attack by sea and move across the south. It does seem Putin has already lost the "phase 2".

Probably, that's a problem although I highly doubt they are capturing weapons they haven't already become very familiar with like the Javelin and Stinger. Both have been around on battlefields for decades

I mean.

Who'd know if a predator drone started coming back to the airfield without their missiles?

 

[Septic]

More tanks on the ground may be technically correct. It doesn't mention the condition that those tanks are in.

Tanks aren't Pootin's problem, here you can see what is really weighing on his Parkinson's riddled mind.

And the tractor’s colors are awesome. I’d hope the worthless POS bastard has nightmares about yellow and blue tractors

You didn’t make any valid points supporting your position. They opened their market but prevented foreigners from selling their equities. They are forcing people to use their currency or trying to anyway. You ignore all of these unsustainable measures while dropping the exchange rate and claiming Russia’s economy is fine.

Well first off, I didn't ignore them, I addressed them directly. Secondly, I clearly said that they are unwinding some of these actions, just not specifically the points that you want to focus on. Lastly, Russia having them use rubles is a very sustainable measure. Why wouldn't it be sustainable?

And what is this nonsense about them dropping their exchange rate? They didn't drop their exchange rate... it took a hit initially at the start of the conflict, but it has actually gained ground and past where t was before the conflict and sanctions started.

It’s going to implode and trust me I’ll be dropping your meme as well as the current rubble exchange rate on you all least daily when it does Moe

It may be rocky for a couple of quarters, but by early 2023, their economy will be in a full sprint.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Good thing the U.S. and NATO don't rely on you for geopolitical strategy.

What strategic interest do we have in Ukraine?

These Ukrainian tractors will be looked back on in the same way as the Ghost of Kyiv and Snake Island.

We are the aunt in the family that tells everyone else's children what to do and that no one really listens to.

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.

Those socialists are trying to keep "their" money from being diverted to Ukraine. They like spending our money; they just object to it not going to "their" people.

Yeah, thousands of service men along with other innocent collaterals would be alive today and Russia would control LESS territory then they will when the war is over. Not to mention the many unintended consequences not only for our own economy but economies around the world who depend on Ukraine/Russian resources.

Another one of Septic's moronic posts.

 

[volgr]

Interesting, but some here will say "we aren't too involved"...

You didn’t address any sanctions other than to claim they won’t be effective. They aren’t “unwinding” anything they still have ridiculous controls on their stock market and currency in a futile attempt to prop up their currency. I’m not saying they should remove them I’m saying they are futile for the end game.

More shilling on their currency. It’s artificially propped up by the controls referenced above.

LMAO countries and companies are unwinding their business dealings with Russia. Yes they will have a rocky couple of quarters while they adjust. And then Russia will be isolated. Their economy will be in full sprint… into oblivion.

Pootin’s Russia is in the beginnings of its death throws. It remains to be seen what will emerge in the next version of Russia or if it will be welcomed back by the rest of the world.

Just the good stuff, which to this point there isn't much of.

 

[NorthDallas40]

The fact that all the tractor memes and shade triggered you so much that you had to make a shade post discounting them is simply delicious Moe

 

[AM64]

You know the answer to Taiwan. How do those two affect the average Chinese citizen. Why the need for China to meddle there?

Again, what is the point?

The other thing to consider in the Solomons agreement is what kind of ship provisioning would China be doing in remote, isolated islands; and why would that carry even a remote possibility of needing Chinese troops or police to maintain the peace?

“We” aren’t with regards to direct combat. That individual citizen obviously was. Keep selling it Larry

 

[NorthDallas40]

Yeah, thousands of service men along with other innocent collaterals would be alive today if that bastard Putin hadn’t invaded Ukraine all the way back to 2014.

Fixed your post Larry. You’re welcome.

They aren’t “unwinding” anything they still have ridiculous controls on their stock market and currency in a futile attempt to prop up their currency.

What controls specifically and how are they specifically propping up their currency? They seem to be "propping up their currency" with their commodities.

Two from the top of my head:

Forcing international exchanges in Rubbles in violation of prior agreements stating other currencies. This forces the world to apply some value because nobody trust’s Russia’s FIAT assurance. This also violates the terms of the contracts but we know how Pootin’s Russia views documents they sign.

Preventing foreigners from selling their equities on the Russian stock market to delay a collapse of that market.
