  1. Putin declared Kherson a Russian city and had to retreat out of it 16 months ago . What superpower loses a entire city ?

  2.  @neurofiedyamato8763  Article 5 is self defence only, Vietnam did not attack the US. It is odd Argentina attacking the Falklands (UK) that NATO did not help . Be like Hawaii being attacked it still is like attacking the US.

  3. Russia could always get to Kaliningrad by sea.

  4.  @gigacanno750  When Sweden and Finland joins Nato the Baltic will become a NATO Lake. That sure will not help Russia.

  5.  @danielprw512  The US lost 2,300 troops in Afghanistan in 20 years . The USSR lost 15,000 in Afghanistan in 10 years and went broke.

  6. But it still adds up to Russia having a GDP just above Spain but now they must fund a long war/occupation with less income.

  7. Putin gets scared easily . When Wagger look like it was heading to Moscow Putin ordered the main highways have tank trenches dug up across them .

  8.  @VodkaPandas  You think Muslim Chechnya feels like it is part of orthodox christian Russia? They did not need to be invaded for nothing .

  9.  @ikaustralia  #1 Russia and Ukraine do not even speak the same language. #2 The UN has Ukraine registered as a independent sovereign nation along with 195 other countries .

  10.  @pennyhardaway7491  Russia will be fine , its Putin that has to worry when Russian decide to live not just exist. Many countries do not need to import food and energy.

  11. The good thing about the Putin invasion is we no longer think Russia is a convention military superpower that can storm over Europe with thousands of tanks .

  12.  @ikaustralia  A real superpower thinks the split seconds one of its cities get invaded is the time to get it back . Not 16 months and still counting .
    3
  13.  @ikaustralia  No rush for the defending side they will always fight for their country . The invading side not so much like the 1979-89 invasion of Afghanistan bankrupted the USSR.

  14.  @Bogsbinny831  Do not remember the US declaring Saigon or Kabul a city in the USA. Name a US city the US had to retreat out of?

  16.  @TheAustrianAnimations87  Oh man I can play with this all day . Pretend the equator split the Island of Hawaii in two . and Hawaii was invaded , NATO can only fight the invaders in the north part of the island not the south ?

  17.  @CGplay186  Ukraine is different. Not since 1939 has a country invaded another country with the intent of making in part of the invading country forever. Maybe China with Tibet?

  18.  @koreystuart7054  Putin did publicly state that he considers Ukraine not a country and part of Russian. How does Ukraine negotiate from that?

  19. Russia lost their flagship that was 150 miles off shore , imagine a beach landing?
    3
  20. Putin made the mistake of calling Kherson a Russian City inside Russia. after the fake annexation vote. So in theory a Russian City inside Russia has been in a foreign military hands for 9 months and no Russian seem to care? Could you imagine a US city occupied by a foreign military last even a week ?

  21. When it comes down to it food beats out oil in importance.

  22. And Putin is not a dictator ? I don't even know why these show elections are still held .

  23. France exports as much wheat as Ukraine was new to me. Why is France not called the Bread Basket also?
    2
  24. That's why 140 million people Russia has a economy below 40 million people Canada . Corruptions and a "one trick pony" natural resource economy .

  25.  @lochness1373  True North America has energy to sell not import.
    2
  26. I thought North America get its stuff from China across the Pacific and we do not get much oil from the Middle East anymore . Should not affect the US or Canada much .

  27.  @richardgray3112  The had Nukes for 70 years. Russia is not committing suicide over a outside country. MAD is still a thing.
    2
  28.  @richardgray3112  Not really , there are zero foreign troops in Russia and 150k foreign troops in Ukraine. What Country would ever try to invade mainland Russia itself? Countries with Nukes never get invaded because it is suicidal.

  29. Not losing is a win when you border to a so called superpower and it invades you 2 years ago and you still have your own government . I live in Canada , If the USA invaded our country I think they would take out capital and remove our government in 2 weeks not still working on it in 2 years later.

  30. The conscripts in the war are from poor Asia Russians. They do not have as many toilets as Europe Russians.

  31.  jmcw9632  Argies in part of the UK?

  32. North America get little oil from the middle East anymore . The China stuff comes from the pacific west coast

  33. #13 The only cause of the war now that matters in 40 million Ukrainians not wanting to become 40 million new Russians.

  34. The USSR overthrew the Afghanistan government from 1979-89 ,but the 10 year occupation bankrupt them. Occupying the Ukraine will be far worst.

  35. Two 3rd world countries in some pact , who would care . Russia has a smaller GDP than Canada, Iran has the same GDP as Columbia and North Korea has no economy to speak of .

  36.  @FunkySpaceLord  Im just saying a pact with IRAN and North Korea is as interesting as a Pact between Haiti and Jamaica .

  37. The west buys 80% of China's exports while Russia buys 5 %. China looks after China first.

  38. The Rubble was worth nothing before the war. I was in Cuba and hung with some Russia tourists and even the Cubains would not take Russian money . Only Canadian ,US and the Euros money . Russia has a smaller economy than Canada and Brazil today . Russia has no magic way to fight wars for free.

  39. A so called superpower needing help with weapons from a 3rd world country is the strange part . Be like the US needing to buy weapons from South Africa to continue its invasion of Iraq .

  40. The only cause of the war now that matters in 40 million Ukrainians not wanting to become 40 million new Russians.

  41.  @ThomasDransfeldt-w7j  That's why Russia needed the daft everyone fled from because Russia did not want to use their real army until the 2 year operation turned into a war. I think you will notice not much will change Russia's military is what it is .

  42. Putin Claimed Kherson as a Russian city and had to retreat out of it 19 months ago . What superpower loses one of its cities for 19 min let alone 19 months .
    1
  43. 75% -80% of the Ukraine is still unoccupied. The war will grind on no matter the cost because 40 million Ukrainians do not want to become 40 million new Russian citizens. If Putin invaded my country ,I would rather see it destroyed than become part of Russian. Defenders of a country have more motivation than invaders of a country in the long game.

  44. Putin wants all of Ukraine and the government removed . Russia has less invaded land 2 years later than at their peak of the summer of 2022. The Russians took Berlin and the war was over 2 years after Kursk. This war is nowhere near over . It took from 1979-89 for the USSR to go broke and fall over the invasion of Afghanistan .

  45. There are 300,000 Russian soldiers inside the Ukraine and Zero Ukraine soldiers inside Russia . Any brotherly love is long gone and never coming back .

  46. Don't overthink a bag of dirt. The war is ONLY about 40 million Ukrainians not wanting to become 40 million new Russians citizens. END OF STORY

  47. Putin stated publicly that all of Ukraine belongs to Russia and Ukraine is not a country. The war is now only about 40 million Ukrainians not wanting to be part of Russia. This thing will go on until Russia goes broke like it did in 1979-89 Afghanistan occupation.

  48. So Opec Nations and Putin loving Nations need to eat. Good to know. Russia can't feed them all.

  49. Remember when people thought Russia was a superpower that could invade all of Europe if they wanted . Now they fight a poor country right next door for over a years and are at a stand still .

  50. It's a tough sell to convince 40 million Ukrainians that they have no identity and are actually Russian citizens. Britain tried that with Southern Ireland for 800 years before giving up.
