  1. Cutimg aid to end the war is bit like cutting policing to end crime.

  2.  @gmw3083  Russia cannot win but since you think it is... please explain Russia's goal. From where I'm sitting, Russia looks unhinged. It doesn't have a clue.

  3. Russia has been doing this centuries. Obviously slow learners.

  4.  @radwilly1770  NATO expansion was not a factor. Russia wants the world to believe that it is because it plays to the narative they keep peddling, but it's not.

  5. Yeah, I noticed. At least this presenter didn't claim to have all of the answers even though he is actually an expert. We're still left wondering what Ukraine's goal is.

  6. ​ @FluffyFriendArchet When did Trump say that? First time I've heard about it.

  7. That would depend on the type of support Ukraine receives going forward. Better weapons and more weapons should reduce losses in personnel.

  8. Not really. The world can hurt Russia economically long term much more than Russia can hurt the world. That's because the Russian economy is relativelly tiny.

  9. ​ @stevenschwartz-vf2lg  Why did it take Trump so long to figure that out? It's been obvious since day one.

  10. ​ @Kasgigz Can you suggest one? I suspect bias is part of human nature.

  11. Europe needs to face reality, stop sitting on its hands and ramp up production, and do it quickly. It had a three year lead time. What's it doing?

  12. I wouldn't blame Harris. It was clear what she stould for.. she stould for the opposite of what Trump stould for. I blame appathetic voters. If you don't like Trump, you get up off of your ass and vote Democrat. They didn't, so they get Trump.

  13. ​@u2beuser714 Not really. Banks can not magically convert currencies. It's even more difficult right now with rubles. No one wants them due to sanctions and Russia's manipulation of their value. And there needs to be buyers and sellers. Russia was effectively building up credit in India because rupees are no good to russia given that russia doesn't buy much from India.

  14. We already know that, thought it depends on how you define a "NATO" response vs a western response vs some other alliance of countries..

  15. Russian money funding Ukraine's defence is a great idea.

  16. Not really.

  17. Which people? If Iranians, I hope they take a foot then some. Hoping those islamic fanatics running the joint will fall. Won't be holding my breath though.

  18. Russia loves to think of itself as a supper power and a great empire yet its economy is no bigger than my country, Australia.

  19. My first was where will you draw the lines....

  20. Maybe evacuate Bakmut, let the Russians swarm in and then blow it to pieces. Just a thought. As for the apparent stalemate, i believe it's all about weather conditions and mud.

  21. Russia in NATO LOL. You do realise that NATO is mostly about defending Europe from Russian aggression?

  22. Ukraine was not a part of ruzzia in 2014. That's a bold faced lie. Ukraine was never a part of ruzzia. It was part of the Soviet Union. Ukraine regained its independence as a sovereign state after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
    2
  23. Are you sure that the West currently has $300B invested in ruZZia? I'm not quite sure what you mean.
    2
  24. What's with India joining the dark side? Morally bankrupt?
    2
  25. No, but when you're fighting an existential battle against a large fascist power that commits war crimes daily, then desperate measures are necessary. But I'm sure you already knew that, right?
    2
  26. That's rubbish. USA is the most powerful country economically and militarily. NATO is the most powerfull military alliance on the planet. Pretty much everything you wrote was incorrect. And no, I don't want more... that was more than enough.
    2
  27. One thing that is absolutely certain... ruzzia will spin an endless stream of lies.
    2
  28. Putin's miscalculation aside, I thought the world was moving beyond imperialism. I guess Russia missed the memo.
    2
  29. Russia could simply withdraw... and should if they genuinely want to end this stupid war. Anything less is just a setup for another land grab by Russia.
    2
  30. Actually, Russia has lost much more than Ukraine has but nice try ruskie.
    2
  31. Dogs are not awesome. Just thought I should correct that piece of misinformation. Dogs suck.

  32.  @ExpatZ266  Looks like you were wrong? It has begun. Ukraine was biding it's for the right moment I suspect. Anyway, they said August, and it's now August... just.
    2
  33. Not really. That's just what it's hyped up to mean after the fact. Same with the nukes. Not Ukrainian. Russian nukes stationed in Ukraine.

  34. I don't believe the amount of Kursk territory held is the important part of this, as long as a decent chunk of it is held. After all, this whole war was about turning Ukraine into a puppet state, and that failed three years ago. Ukraine and Russia are huge, and the amount of territory changing hands in any month amounts to not much. Additionally, atritting Russia's military is more important than sq kms

  35. The Crimean demographic is irrelevant. If they love Russia then live in Russia. That's kind of how it works elsewhere.

  36. I see the $300B as the proceeds of crime, similar to the way property and cash are seized from criminal gangs. It's that any funds that pootin can get his hands on will go to funding the war. Clearly, that $300B in large part would have been for that purpose.

  37. So, you only watched the ads? Wow.

  38. Brilliant. You're asking the same questions I've been asking for three days. People like us who've asked these sensible questions and thought deeply about this Ukrainian action have been labelled "stupid" by a well-known pro Ukraine Youtuber and a bunch of armchair experts in the comments. They must think that Ukraine's goals are blatantly obvious. They re not. I'm still scratching my head. This could go terribly wrong very quickly.

  39. It could be done if Europe could wake up and if Trump could grow a brain. Both seem unlikely.

  40. You mean the Russian lies that started when Putin said they wouldn't invade but they did and the lies that continued daily for six months.... those lies?
    1
  41. Not really.

  42. What's ruzzia's solution to gasprom's $7B loss (a $40B downturn)?
    1
  43. I believe the current situation was caused by unreliable Western support. There were too many waisted opportunities.

  44. Doesn't matter. They don't want to hold any Kursk territory mediam or long term. See my other comment. And the guy you linked to seems clueless.

  45. I've seen your red and white line idea presented a few times but it still doesn't make any sense to me. There are no actual lines with values attacked. Such a thing would be impossible to determine. I would position the white line at the kerch bridge because Ukraine has already stated it's taking back Crimea.

  46. Tell Putin.

  47. I wouldn't trust India on anything.

  48. Trump was anti Ukraine and clueless prior to the election but has since back flipped in favour of helping Ukraine... but sadly, he's still clueless.

  49. It a boring game anyway. Don't know why people bothers with it. Like watching paint dry. Stupid game does more harm than good.

  50. Trump's critism was around too many of the NATO members not pulling their weight. He was correct and we're seeing more evidence of it right now. Trump was also correct in my opinion to increase military funding. Russians invasion has reminded the west of how important defence spending is.
