  7. 20 minutes of explaining how the Russians have had one of the biggest arse kicking's in the entire illegal invasion. They have lost thousands of troops and hundreds of Tanks and armored vehicles and your final conclusion was if Russian forces can keep on taking casualties like this they can win? The Russians won't last 4 months with 'victories' on this scale. Even if they take that sector, it won't make any difference strategically, the Ukrainians will just cede territory, retreat to other well prepared defensive positions and start all over again. But Russian forces will be devastated for very little return. Yes, it may turn out to be another Bakhmut, a pyrrhic victory that destroyed and led to the downfall of the Wagner group. And if you look at the front in that sector Ukraine are dangerously close to encircling that destroyed town and are making great gains, so what did Bakhmut achieve in the overall strategic view for the invaders? Nothing. Same with Avdivka. Ukraine can last another couple of years at this level of fighting. The Russian economy won't. Oil and gas revenues down by 70 percent since 2021. The Rouble is crashing even after artificial support its still at 95 to 1 dollar. This is only the beginning. Every month there is a deficit in revenue, this is supported by the Russian Sovereign Wealth Fund which has enough money for maybe 6-12 months. The Russian economy will collapse before the Russian military has any chance of defeating Ukraine. Putin's imperial gamble, with the support of the Russian people, has failed. One of the greatest geostrategic failures in modern times. And who will pay for this failure? The Russian people. You must realize that even if Russia can take Ukraine, and enslave its people, don't think for 1 minute that's the end of it. The partisan war will begin that will make Afghanistan look like a walk in the park. And that war collapsed the Soviet Union, a much stronger economic and military power than Russia could ever be. Good luck with that.

  21. @WaqasAfzali-ls5yi The Russian economy is collapsing. Any figures from May 2022 onwards are suspect and must be taken with a pinch of salt. Russia wont even admit the Special operation is a full scale war and invasion, so why trust any figures coming out Putin's dictatorship? Russia's oil and Gas revenue is 70 percent down since 2021. Every month Russia is showing a budget deficit which has to be filled by the central bank and its wealth fund. The Rouble is collapsing even after interest rate rises. The Sovereign Wealth Fund is nearly exhausted with maybe 6- 12 months' worth of funds left to prop up the economy. Russia will not be able to borrow on the world markets and nobody is interested in investing in Russia, even China and India are staying clear. Military spending is now about 6 percent which uses valuable resources such as workers that are in short supply through a general lack of manpower, this alone is a major drag on the economy and the other valuable resources used in constructing weapons and machines of war that don't directly contribute to the future growth of the country. Hundreds of thousands of the top professional workers and wealth producers have fled Russia because there is no future there. The inflation figures coming out of Russia are completely false but this will gradually become apparent as prices spiral out of control. Russia is a country waiting to fall upon Putin's sword, he will take everyone down with him, in fact I think he hates the Russian people. By the time this war ends Russia will be no better than North Korea regardless what the world Bank says.
