You wouldn't allow a boxer to continue to take a beating no matter how many times they take punches on the ropes or get off the canvas. Someone in the corner, if they had any sense and concern for the fighter, would save that boxer from himself.

That boxer leaves the ring and goes on with his life and might get another shot. Ukraine surrenders they are oppressed for decades if not forever.

What @hog88 said.

Plus, right now I'm not so sure who's taking the beating. Based on the stacked bodies on trains going back to Russia and getting pushed back to the East, I think the only towel that needs to get thrown is the one to the Moskva sailors.

This war is going to go on forever. We are essentially giving the Ukrainians unlimited firepower to fight the Russian forces with, so it is going to be a battle of attrition.

These damn sanctions... crushing it.

Russia raises pension and minimum wage as inflation hits economy
He suggested that Russia’s minimum monthly wage be increased 10 per cent to Rbs15,278 ($273) from June 1, while pensions for non-working retirees will rise by the same amount. “This will strengthen domestic demand . . . for local products,” he said.

Putin also asked the government to increase pay for soldiers in Ukraine.

Putin said he did not expect Russia’s inflation to rise above 15 per cent this year, despite the country’s central bank having earlier forecast inflation of 18-23 per cent this year and 4 per cent in 2024.

So to be clear, the government is paying higher wages - because things cost more...... due to inflation?

That's crazy, I wonder what kind of events triggered the need for the government to print cash and hand it out? I can say from my experience here in the old US of A, printing cash to make sure the masses are happy will absolutely not cause any economic issues. eyeroll.gif

Yes, it is a fiat system just like the rest of the world has. So between then printing money and lowering rates, it will devalue their currency.

Let me ask you this, it looks like you want this to go on until the last drop of Ukrainian blood is spilled. At the very least, if you had a selfish bone in your body and had any ounce of self-preservation, would you at least consider waving the white flag on these sanctions and energy embargos? These obviously have not proven at all to damage Russia and are in fact impacting us in The West far more. Can we throw in the towel on this economic warfare and get some relief on our economies?

Bleeding NATO, which without Uncle Sam propping it up would have been dissolved decades ago. Not only that, EU Countries are now getting restless with each other. I'm telling you, there is a decent chance the EU ends up in a civil war of sorts before this is all over....and I am here for that, popcorn ready.

Probably one of the better podcasts you'll listen to, to get as accurate a picture of whats going on in Ukraine, Russia, EU and the US right now. Would really benefit most of you, who currently reside in some sort of delusion, to give this a listen and come back to reality.

Outside of the Red Army's behavior in Germany, which is an outlier, the Russians haven't done anything more hideous than any other country, including the US or any other Western nation. Let's stop with the hyperbole.

I don't know if you're aware of it or not but America and the rest of the civilized world are supporting the sanctions and embargo against Russia. Don't look for them to be lifted anytime soon. Of course unless Russia wants to throw in the towel and go home.
