  1. Idk where you found the 3rd one from. Ukraine had the 2nd worst GDP per capita in Europe behind Albania in 1990. Other countries within the Soviet sphere followed like Romania and Poland. Ukraine's population in 2019 was 45 million that's a 7 million decrease from the latest Soviet era population size however that's what'll happen to a country that suddenly opens up to immigration. Soviet citizens had hardly any ability or right to immigrate out of the USSR. That's the case even in puppet states like Poland and East Germany. So obviously people will leave an impoverished region fast when they have the ability to do so. Debt cannot be counted for Ukraine alone under the USSR but we know for a fact that the USSR had debt. It's just small compared to the GDP. Having said that "no debt" doesn't mean "good economy". The USSR despite having low debt collapsed due to the unsustainability of their economic system. Developed social sphere is also highly debatable since the USSR only artificially boosted their results in science and education and even then came nowhere near the West. The last three points are also asinine since the Ukrainian economy was pretty bad compared to Europe. If you want to make the point that Ukraine was highly mismanaged after the end of the USSR then I am with you. But trying to suggest that Ukraine was this amazing nation under the USSR is just a blatant lie. Was it better? Perhaps. But so was Belarus. So was Kazakhstan. Most former USSR states felt the collapse and never recovered from it. In the contrary USSR puppet states flourished after the USSR fell. Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia are all doing much much better than they did anytime under the USSR. Ukrainians haven't been "held" hostage by their government. They voted and created said government. Instead of overthrowing bad leaders like Zelensky, they allow them to take full control. You can sympathize with Ukrainians all you want but they created many of their problems themselves.

  2. Yes because it's not even comparable. It's like comparing 300 French soldiers fighting with muskets and swords against 200 african tribesmen fighting with makeshift spears and arrows with 10,000 Americans fighting 8,000 Brits during the American civil war. One is an actual war. This is more closer to a long counter terrorism operation. They had already decimated most of their assets on ground and they just did the clean up with infantry and moved onto destroying the tunnels. Israeli soldiers are better trained, have better intel, have far better equipment, are more in numbers and have a relatively small area to cover.

  3. ​ @Davoodoox1 Ukraine was literally one of the strongest militaries in Europe. Their military is stronger than Germany's or Italy's. And they have one of the largest populations in Europe.

  4. both are true though lol

  5.  @firasajoury7813  The civilian casualties in Gaza are 25-30k so even if you said 15k children died you have a chance to be right. But here's the secret: There is a thing called collateral damage. Civilian casualties is always a thing in wars. And if you look at any wars, the casualties you're witnessing in this one are very low.

  6. Well, France does have the 3rd or 4th strongest army in the world, so there's that.

  8.  @UgandanWarriorofHell  The Us did not lose to Vietnam. Or Afghanistan. I am talking about the military by the way. The outcomes on both of these wars were political ones. South Vietnam could still be alive today if not for the anti war politicians that took over. Afghanistan would still be under the Us allies power if not for Biden rigging the 2020 elections. In Vietnam particularly, the Us and allied troops would've completely annihilated the Vietkongs if they were able to attack the Chinese supply lines. But their generals didn't want to do so because they were afraid of a WW3 scenario. So they were content with keeping South Vietnam.

  9.  @mataloce  refusing to accept the extermination of Christians from Lebanon by Hezbollah and associates is beyond delusional. Egyptian Christians have also been heavily discriminated against but not as much as Lebanese. Prior to the past decades islamisation of Lebanon, Christians were 80-90% of Lebanon. Now they are less than 30%.
    4
  10.  @someguy4512  "Bro Gaza was bombed far more then vietnam" You literally said more bombs than in Vietnam. But even if it was true (which it's not). The bombs dropped are precision bombs. They minimize civilian casualties and aim to destroy strategic locations. Dresden was bombed for 3 days and 25k civilians died. And Dresden had around 1 million population at that time. Far less than Gaza. It was also far less densely populated.
    3
  11.  @mataloce  Hezbollah holds a majority in the parliament. The only reason they don't rule Lebanon is because they don't bother to. But they do whatever they like inside Lebanon. From waging war against Israel to slaughtering and torturing the Christian population.
    2
  12.  @Joseph_El-Cheikh  True, in the rest of the Arab countries Christians are now less than 0.5%. In some they have gone extinct. I am a Greek Orthodox and I fully know how the arab world has been exterminating Orthodox Christians in the regions for centuries. Turkey did so to the Armenians and Greeks of Anatolia.

  13.  @captainphilips5469  Ukraine had already evacuated and it's not the most densely populated place on earth. You can't compare the two. Otherwise I am just gonna say "Look in Vietnam 2 million civilians died".

  14.  @MALA123  Are you restarted? Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen all had far more civilian casualties than 30 thousand.

  17.  @nataliasalmanova6020  The USSR had 60 billion dollars in debt in 1991. Which is an unimportant number even for Russia to take on. Ukraine had no debt because the USSR had no debt compared to the GDP. Having said that, having no debt doesn't magically make your economy strong or good.

  18.  @Really250  Yes having no debt is good but almost every strong country has at least some debt.

  20.  @dubstepXpower  Are you a tool or just a delusional boomer? What peace through strength? Iran didn't attack the Us nor did it attack Israel. Israel attacked Iran. The Us just joined their overlords to ensure their victory just like they did a dozen times in the past. Either ways, you're a good goy.

  23.  @Frogman1943  That wasn't a threat. The truth is, that just as the Js milked the UK until it became a weak sh*thole, they have been milking the Us for 60+ years. Once they've achieved total hegemony over the middle east (which is when Iran falls), then they will toss aside their used and broken down tool aka the Us. The Us has already spent over 10 trillion on Israel's war and js have done irreparable damage to the economy and to the demographics of the Us. There is no going back.

  24. Your analysis is correct. However Israel is not stupid. Israel's goal is to destroy and replace the Iranian regime as well as divide and destroy the country. If Israel manages to get the Us to invade Iran, then their goal is achieved. Now how could they do that? By pushing them into bombing facilities and high ranking officials, so Iran retaliated and destroys Us bases and kills Americans. Once Iran kills Americans, then they will inevitably push the Us to invade the country and do an Iraq all over again but at a 50 times higher influence.

  29.  @Negevite  Learn what apertheid is first and then talk. Apertheid is a specific definition only referred to South African legal system and it is an afrikaans word. The South African system and the one in Israel have absolutely nothing in common. But I guess I wouldn't expect much from people who have no idea of legality, history or geopolitics.

  31.  @red-if2xl  The IDF was not and is not bombing indiscriminately Gaza. They've bombed specific buildings with Hamas military infrastructure. I believe right now they've destroyed more than 650 of those locations.

  32.  @forrestlin9590  ? Then by that logic the same can be said about the Palestinians. All are in support of Hamas and we've seen videos of children as young as 8 saying that they despise Jews and are ready to become suicide bombers or want to run them over with a car. So when the kids they use as meat shields die I hope they don't cry victim. Oh wait.

  36. Israel only got the first Us funds a couple months ago. Hamas has been funded by Iran for 6-7 years to prepare for this war.

  37.  @YNwalkemdown  That's just untrue. The Saudis and the Jordanians are already paid off by Israel and the Us. The only Syrians that want this are the sunnis that fled the country and then joined the Mossad backed Turkish terrorist organisation that overthrew Assad. Everyone is sick and tired of Israel and their infiltration of dozens of governments around the world. They're sick and tired of Js that despise whites and christians.
    1
  38.  @ahaha_ahaha8351  Even if "politicians" were drafted, the war would still happen. Why? Because Israel literally controls the Us government. There are maybe 12 congressmen and senators that are not bankrolled by jewish lobby groups.
    1
  39.  @alpejohnson491  It's the opposite. The Us is an Israeli tool to destroy their enemies. The Us has lost their hegemony once they were started being used as a military tool to destroy Israel's enemies like Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan etc.
    1
  40.  @1individeo  Yes because it's a slow and smaller in scale war (compared to the Ukraine one). Did you even see how little casualties there have been the past 3 months?
    1
  41.  @1individeo  Again you seem to be too low IQ to understand the difference of fighting in a secluded highly dense city and fighting in fields and forests and abandoned villages like in Ukraine. In Ukraine the military casualties are 100 times higher than in Gaza. The civilian casualties are obivously less (around 10,000) because the civilians could completely evacuate the warzone and because the Ukrainian military didn't use civilian buildings for operations. 37,000 is a false number. The Gazan Health Ministry has identified 24,000 deaths. Now let's go to any other war. Let's say Vietnam: 2 million civilian deaths alone. With the majority of them caused by the Viet Kongs. Korean war: 3 million civilian deaths, mostly caused by North Koreans and Chinese. Syrian war 300,000 civilian deaths The Libyan war had more civilian deaths. The Iraqi war had more civilian deaths. Afghanistan had more civilian deaths. Next time learn history before spewing garbage.

  42.  @zloidooraque0  Ahahahaha. Nice one. France has double the nukes of India and Pakistan and 6 times the nukes of North Korea. Vietnam and Iran don't have nukes.; France has the 4rth strongest fleet behind China and the Us and the UK. They have stronger firepower than all the countries you mentioned. They have far better trained and qualified personel. Only country in your list that makes it close is India and that's due to sheer numbers. But we already know that that didn't help India defend itself from the British empire.
    1
  43.  @zloidooraque0  Ridiculous. Pushing someone out of your country isn't an achievement, especially when you boast enormous number advantages. The achievement is conquering lands and France did manage to conquer a bunch of lands. Now, another myth is that the Viet Kongs somehow won against the Us and allied military. A common myth that was propagated due to the political decision of the Us to let South Vietnam fall. The allied and Us armies won the majority of battles during the Vietnam war and inflicted triple the casualties of those from the Viet Kongs. Had the allies decided to attack the Chinese supply lines to North Vietnam, they could've won the war. But they were afraid of starting a 3rd World War, so they stayed with South Vietnam until the politics and culture of the Us didn't allow it so.

  44.  @ДаниилХеллюжн  The Ukrainian army has been decimated and is fully reliant on Western donations of arms, planes, drones and vehicles. If we were talking prior to the war then yes the Ukrainian army was one of the strongest in Europe, but still behind France's.
    1
  45.  @ДаниилХеллюжн  The French army is not incompetent. They have been fighting wars in Africa for decades now. So yes a mildly experienced army that is 100 times more organized and has 1000 times better weapons is 100% stronger than a decimated army that has no weapons and a lot of experience. Although nowadays most of the experienced people in the Ukrainian army have been wiped out. Now they're sending oldies and youths.

  46.  @francois-xaviergonnet7216  Not really. Russia has a lot more reserves and they're not even drafting yet. Their army is their already serving personnel and volunteers.

  47.  @WeoXCY  10th? You can argue 5th or 6th but you cannot argue 10th. I put it above the UK and India because it's far more experienced and doesn't have recruitment issues (when comparing to the UK) and because it's far more organized and capable and well funded (when comparing to India). Other than those 2, Russia, China and the Us there is no country that is actually close to France in military power.
    1
  48.  @someguy4512  The IDF has fought multiple wars. Also that is not a "guerilla war". Hamas is an incompetent low level terrorist organization. The only reason why it is taking so long is because they've built tunnels for 8 years preparing for this war. Chechen wars are guerilla wars and have actual casualties at least on both sides. This is just a glorified anti-terrorist war. Also wtf is Hazbara? Is that another islamist buzzword?
    1
  49.  @avus-kw2f213  Compared to ISISI, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda they are low level (although now both ISIS and Al Qaeda have been severly weakened). You are correct they're not low level. They're a mid level terrorist organisation. They killed 300 enemy soldiers? You mean in the surprise terrorist attack? Because they just got to 300 in a face to face battle after 8 months of fighting.
    1
  50. The real casualties are 300. You can't really cover up casualties in a country as small as Israel where the government is hated and the people will talk.

  51. The Us controls NATO. If the Us demands are not met, they will leave Ukraine and it will be virtually over. The EU only has 3 competent militaries, those of Poland, France and Greece and all three together are not even close to being a match to Russia's military. The moment Trump decides to force Zelensky to concede for peace, the war will be over.
    1
  52. Absolute bullsh*t. The PLA only managed to keep North Korea due to their sheer numbers. They didn't win. In fact they push all the way to Seoul and then were defeated back to the line that now divides South and North Korea. Nato didn't lose to the Taliban. Again you seem to be confusing political losses and military losses. The taliban were absolutely destroyed by Nato when it comes to the military aspect of the war. Luckily for them they had vast mountains and caves to hide and continue fighting. At the end the Taliban took over due to the incompetency of the Biden administration and didn't win a single battle against Us or allied troops. Pakistan and India have nothing to do with Nato so why did you even include that? France didn't lose to the Vietnamese who had Russian equipment. Israel didn't lose to Hezbollah fighters with Russian equipment. In fact Israel has won every single war against Russian/Iranian backed arab attackers besides a single stalement in Lebanon. Spoiler alert, stalement doesn't equals loss. The Houthis didn't defeat anyone. Yemen is still divided between Saudi backed and Iranian backed groups. The Us and the allies have a by far better military than any country or alliance in the world. They can anihilate their opponents swiftly and effectively if they so wish for. The issue is that the Us government and the military industrial complex profits if the wars continue. Why do you think Trump destroyed the Chaliphate very swiftly even though Obama "struggled" for years. Trump wanted to end the war, and the Nato forces had the power to do so. They just didn't because of special interests.

  53.  @niarlatotepbasset  Coping about what? I am just speaking facts. The Us has such a strong army that it can destroy the majority of militaries within a month. The only reason wars like Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan continue for so long is because of corruption with the Us government. And by the way in this war Russia is winning. And I am with Putin on this one but saying that Russia has better arms and military than the Us is ridiculous.
    1
  54.  @INSANESUICIDE  Or simply it was human incompetence and error along with good strategy and backing. Mossad was obviously oblivious to the fact that Hamas was building weaponry for 3 years now out of essentials that were sent as humanitarian aid (concrete, pipes etc). They also failed to predict Hamas would be so insane to attempt such an attack. Along with the fact that it was a national holiday in which jews do not use electricity and devices for 2 days. It was all out of nowhere. Well planned by Hezbollah, Iran and Hamas. We also know that scares and small scale attacks have been common in Jewish holidays so they are usually not taken seriously.

  55.  @DutchTunisian  You mean the videos where they fake it? There are hundreds of videos of Palestinians purposefully trying to sacrifice their children to make them martyrs.

  59.  @someguy4512  Gaza is one of the most densely populated places on earth. If it was "bombed more than Vietnam" civilian casualties would be 30k and less than 0.5% of the population. Vietnam had 2 million civilian casualties during the war.

  61. Can you tell me how a country with open internet, with allowing parents to call their children during the war or friends to call their friends that are fighting is somehow hiding casualties? 1800 casualties seems more than reasonable considering how they crippled Hamas prior to invading Gaza.

  62.  @mwaselal-shalabii836  Is that why their former associates (ISIS) slaughtered Christians plummeting the Syrian Christian population from 10% at 4 million to 2-3% at 400-900k? You're not Syrian otherwise you wouldn't betray your country.

  70. Paragliding has never worked before. And you can barely say that it did in this instance. Since most were attacking unarmed civilians in a rave party and nothing of military importance. Even if the troops are unprepared they can destroy the paragliders relatively easily. Look at Operation Mercury. Attacks of thousands of paragliders failing against few soldiers with few weapons and civilians with shovels and old shotguns.

  71.  @КириллВарнавский-щ7к  Mainland Russia was by far the best "state" of the USSR. Russia is doing better because they grew out of the collapse. But the collapse still hit them so Russia is still lower in development than the countries I mentioned. Ukraine had massive corruption issues alongside with the massive hit of the collapse.

  74.  @Jaguar-hs4fo  Again I never said the USSR achievements weren't "real". You clearly don't get my point. My point was that the government put all their resources into the top people and sciences to artificially boost their results and they still lost. Western scientific achievements happened naturally through the competition that the free market created. The USSR achievements happened artificially. The government spent copious amounts of resources to create the results whilst most of the population was below the poverty line. It's also ridiculous trying to attempt to say that the moon landing was fake, when it happened multiple times. The reason why it hasn't happened again is simple. There is no point in doing so. It costs a lot and it gives no profit. You literally cannot compare the Poland, Baltic countries, Romania, Hungary etc now and under the USSR. That's a ridiculous thing you're trying to attempt. They are a thousand times better now than under the USSR hence why they're so anti communist. Of they'll still be poorer than the Western countries. The Western countries had decades of head start on them. Yet all of the countries you mentioned have had some of the fastest growths in Europe the past 2 decades. The destruction that communism brought upon them still has its effects though. The Us has lost much of its power due to corruption after corruption. Trump was the only non-corrupt Us president in the last 3 decades. On the contrary Russia now has a president that actually cares about the country and is not a communist. The Us now has the most corrupt and incompetent president in history. And no the Us still boasts the strongest military in the world as much as you don't want it to be true. Of course it's far weaker after the scam wars that Obama, Bush, Clinton and Biden have started and after they introduced progressive LGBTQ ideology to the army but it's still strong.

  75.  @ledlight1487  So Turkmenistan with 5% debt to gdp ratio has a strong economy? Yes having lower debt is indeed a lot better for the economy. But the idea that nodebt=good economy is just economically untrue. It's like saying that me as a homeless guy with 0 debt am in a better financial situation than the guy who has taken a mortgage equal to 60% of his yearly salary. Again all of the ocuntries you mentioned are not only better. BUT FAR BETTER than the socialist times. I have family in Romania and I know for a fact that now it is 1000 times better unironically. Poland, the Baltics, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia are all the same. You claim the people there are nostalgic of the communist times yet the communist parties in these countries barely pass 5%. In Bulgaria the furthest left party is a social democratic one (which is not socialism btw). In Poland the furthest left party is also a social democratic one. Slovakia and the Baltics are the same. The biggest parties in those countries have anti communist sentiments. If they were nostalgic about the communist times one would think that they'd vote for a communist party right? In Greece they do, even though there never was a communist Greece since they lost the civil war. Then you make other dubious claims like "life quality in the USSR was good". Really buddy? Is that why people in East Germany would travel hundreds of km by foot to go around the wall and end up in West Germany? Then you claim that the Western education system was and is bad. Which is also a ridiculous statement but has more merit as of now than before. Before the West absolutely dominated the scientific and academic world. Yes there is a good reason why the moment the USSR was dissolved and people under the USSR could move out, people actually moved out. Wow it seems like when you don't force people to stay in poverty they will leave. :hand-orange-covering-eyes: See how the large migrant waves from those countries started mainly after 1991? Isn't that a little weird? And as those countries advanced less and less people left? It seems like if the USSR allowed their subjects to immigrate out, that on top of the 30 million killed by Stalin, they'd be another 30 million that left the USSR.

  76.  @Jaguar-hs4fo  First off I am not American. Second off, claiming that Iran is somehow winning against the Us is beyond ridiculous. Iran is clearly failing. Their terrorist organisations all over middle east are collapsing. From Hamas to the Houthis they are getting destroyed. China has its own issues. Russia too. I support peace in the Russo-Ukrainian war but Russia has every right to Eastern Ukraine after what the corrupt Ukrainian government did. The Us itself is not the enemy, the politicians that are currently running the Us are. Under Trump, Putin, Xi and other world leaders were peaceful and united. No new wars and old wars started to end. Also the Baltic and former USSR states are afraid of Russian reprisal. Hence why they don't want to be russophilic. Victor Orban understands the dangers of globalism hence why he is against the globalist outlook of the EU. Poland is similar. Slovakia too.
