  1. Actual data for Russia is hard to come by but their overall literacy rate is high. They aren't stupid people. The issue is with their oligarchs, always has been.

  2.  @sayfullahyanderchanov1024  I'm wondering if this is a bot or if they're just a child who doesn't know world history before 2015.

  3.  @NeonRaveHuskey  Buddy, you need a history lesson. The US forced the VC into a treaty, the south was secure, the spread of communism halted. The US left and then 2 YEARS later, reinforced by 320,000 Chinese, the north, renamed, attacked again. Read a book. The US didn't lose a single offensive against Vietnam, now look at the numbers. Stop regurgitating common rhetoric, it's wrong.

  4.  @engliterra355  How far back do you wanna go? Are you Hunnic? Avars? Bulgarian? Ottoman? Lithuanian? That was Ukraine and they all held the region before Russia. The rest of the eastern Slavs didn't HAVE a country until 500 years after the region of modern Ukraine had been civilized by the Huns. When was it that Rus came into existence? 880? The Mongols and the Golden Horse held the coastline for hundreds of years before the Rus. The Crimean Khanate existed and held the region for nearly 200 years before the first "Russia" or Russian Empire occupied the region in the 1780's. Russia has no claim. Take your own advice and look at a map.

  5. I'm on your side but you don't have the whole picture. The west has been in Ukraine since 2014, arming and training with them. Today, there are more mercenaries than there are soldiers. Ukraine is heavily dependent on western money and supply. You can't fight tanks with sticks and stones. Russia will end up with Donetsk and Luhansk.

  6.  @sayfullahyanderchanov1024  Remind me, is 2014 before or after 2015? Either way lol.

  7. As the other comment pointed out, it's the way you say it. If it's same every time, flat, serious, then to the point, it's better. You started to say it like a comedian and looking away from the camera, so it got silly. When you keep it serious like a news caster then it's good. I would not remove it or move it, just make it a standard intro, more serious, the same every time. I know it sounds boring, but the news is boring for a reason too.

  8. This is why Russia uses so many mine fields. They only need to outlast Ukraine, and they will. They can last 10+ years in a war of attrition and they already have the wheat fields. Russia is one of only a few nations which is actually able to self-sustain. They also haven't even formally declared war. If Russia declares war then they could conscript and mobilize more than 1 million troops. I hate to say it but Ukraine will have to concede in the end, unless some stunning new technology is employed.

  9.  @NeonRaveHuskey  I was just thinking about something like this. But that's why they know that they can win a war of attrition. Just under 300,000 troops at a time, matching Ukraine's size. I think that if Russia is to "lose" then it will be because of the Russian people who want to change the government. It's just too big. It's sad to think that Ukraine will have to surrender some land, but it's most likely what will happen. But Russia isn't stupid. They want Ukraine to have contested land forever, so they can't join Nato.

  10.  @kenpatterson2948  Undoubtedly, the US farming economy, the great lakes region alone, would crush it. We have treaties about that lol. But yeah, accounting for all food including livestock, Russia could unfortunately weather the storm and come out better off than Mao's cultural revolution.

  11.  @NeonRaveHuskey  I'm not really up for a philosophical debate on the matter. US had achieved all objectives and left. The VC never won a victory over the US. It's nothing like the current conflict. Ukraine retook 385sq miles of land in 6 days and is shooting hypersonic ballistic missiles out of the sky.

  13.  @AAWT  That's not even close to how it works. The equipment is basically lend-leased. They can keep it or return it. Don't comment about things that you don't understand.

  14.  @SteelPorcupine  It's total aid, military and financial. Get your facts straight. You could take 30 seconds and just use a search engine, smart guy.

  15. Possible scenario; Ukraine concentrates forces in south after Russia moves forces to Donetsk and Luhansk. Nuclear incident causes major contamination of Ukrainian military vehicles. Unlikely but considering Russia's history, still possible.

  16.  @engliterra355  You ask for a discussion and then immediately refuse discussion lol. 🤡 You don't know any history, we get it. Maybe start with the kyivan rus.

  17.  @ivangill6597  Even if they waited for winds to shift, there would still be times where it's taken into Russia and Belarus. They are already guilty of multiple crimes against humanity. Causing a nuclear incident would be the end of Russia.

  18.  @Sinvx  The "first line of defense" means Jack and squat, and Jack left the building. Stop talking out of your rear.

  20.  @NeonRaveHuskey  You say it was a waste of time. Objectively wrong. ASEAN was created specifically to combat communism. They only exist due to US intervention.

  24.  @SteelPorcupine  Your comment " You are talking about military aid not economic aid. When you take economic aid into account it is 2:1." is absolutely incorrect. $77b is not 2x $69b. There's also a support tracking website. Go get your facts straight.

  25.  @SteelPorcupine  This comment "When you take Economic aid into account the EU IS providing 2:1 to the US." is wrong. Get your facts straight.

  26.  @terjeoseberg990  Ah, so your meaning was that they don't need it from here on. Yeah, I can see that. Once they have some better missile defenses, though, against stuff like what Yemen sent over. Then they'll be set.

  27.  @angussoutter7824  How's that? Look at the aid they received. Have you been asleep the last few years?

  28.  @Silvergalaxy7383  I think that's the low estimate of all armored vehicles total. The total number of actual tanks was closer to 1600.

  29.  @Sinvx  All branches use the related technical terms, Forward Line of Own Troops (FLOT) and Forward Edge of Battle Area (FEBA). FLOT/FEBA may include covering and screening forces. The Forward Line of Enemy Troops (FLET) is the FEBA from the enemy's perspective.

  30.  @Sinvx  The "first line of defense" is subjective, bordering on philosophy. In the USA, our "first line of defense" is The Navy. Some say it's the citizen. What it's not is a geographical location.

  31.  @NeonRaveHuskey  Completely defeating, like how Ukraine is supposed to completely defeat Russia? Maybe don't create your own goals? The US achieved their objectives in the region and then left, it's simple. The south wasn't taken until YEARS later. Propaganda does not create or alter reality. The north signed the Paris Accords, end of story.

  32.  @NeonRaveHuskey  We're on the same page, otherwise. We can only hope that Russia loses the support of the people.

  34. An Algerian fan of Russia, big surprise. Russia doesn't have the authority to dictate what other countries can and cannot do, especially inside of their own country. There's no excuse for the invasion and attacks on civilians or infrastructure. Ukraine wasn't bombing Russia, they were attacking Russian planted "separatists" and soldiers who had been there for years. It was also in their own country. Anyone paying attention has watched the buildup since 2014. Ever since the slaughter in Georgia. On Arirang, NHK, Al Jazeera, everywhere. Farmers slowly losing land from Russian soldiers moving their fences, like it was a joke. I wonder if you still side with Russia after the executions of civilians and kidnappings.

  35. There is no more Avdiivka front line. Avdiivka is lost.

  39.  @petefrys545  You make a convincing argument lol. There are a lot that know the truth, they just can't do anything. It's like Iran. Their own people call it the axis of evil. Crazy world... ha.

  40.  @trocarcat  Err, did you miss the memo? The Steele dossier, which has already been ruled as hearsay, was commissioned by the DNC and Clinton Foundation under opposition propagandists Fusion GPS. The only collusion was a conspiracy by the DNC.

  41.  @jamesgordon177  Russia doesn't have the resources for a war of attrition.

  42.  @marioceva7163  Russia didn't exist in 1750. The old Russo empire is not Russia. Wagner lost 30,000 in Bakhmut. Donbass is in Ukraine, not Russia; Russian soldiers acting as separatists don't matter. Go back to sleep, lil' bot.

  43.  @InHellBaby1  Debt in trillions 2008 $10,025, 2017 $20,245, $19,573 when Trump entered office, 2018 $21,516 after Trump tax cuts, $26,945 when Biden entered office after pandem. The majority of debt under Trump is attributed as "primarily due to federal COVID-19 assistance", and our debt-to-gdp ratio fared far better than the majority of other nations during his administration. The "pandemic blip" was a global phenomenon. Under Trump, the private debt dropped from nearly 30% greater than the global average to nearly equal to it. Do you even know what marketable futures are? Get the whole story.

  45. ​ @telebubba5527  So, a union of the 27 countries that the conflict actually matters to is able to give a little bit more in total but mostly digital currency, than the 1 country which is actually able to supply them logistically from the other side of the planet? slow clap It's not a competition. Don't be so insecure.

  46.  @a564-c3q  This "In funding terms (just money for the Ukrainian state as well as non military aid) the EU + UK combined has been ahead of US support in value basically since day 1." 100% accurate. I think that's the plan. Money from there, arms from here. A bit of practice for Nato. Bank central is inner city London. Military central, well... we all know the rest.

  47. Current total aid; EU $84.84t, US $71.46t.

  48.  @terjeoseberg990  Saying that Israel doesn't need help is... not accurate. The US has been investing in Israel for decades. The US spent more to develop iron dome than Israel did.

  50.  @gooldii1  That has nothing to do with Nato. That's Germany's own defense budget which was increased to 2% back around March.
