  1. russia has fought about 156 wars and lost about half of them. For sure russia can and will lose many more wars.

  2. ​@Svalsorim Your argument is wrong and doesn't hold water. Convoys to the Soviet Union were sent by various routes, not at least the Arctic convoys from August 1941 onwards. No less than 24 Arctic convoys sailed before the latter half of 1943.

  3. I would argue that the russian currency has grown, gaining an extra 'b' and turned into rubble. 🇩🇰🇺🇦

  5. ​ @kaimanyu586 A primary school kid can tell you that, yes. But a high-school kid can tell you that it isn't so. Because the US economy is so well consolidated the US can (and do) lend money at extremely low interest rates, next to nothing. Therefore the US can freely lend what they want, it doesn't really matter to the US, because they can easily pay it back. It's not because they lack the money. If they didn't have the money, their interest rate wouldn't be so low. Other countries are happy to lend the US money at so low rates because it's a safe bank for them. Completely contrary to russia.

  6.  @kaimanyu586  The russian economy is "growing" with money from russia's well fund/ war chest being poured into the weapons industry and thus society. That has the same result as simply printing more money: On the short term the russians have more money to spend. On the long term it grows inflation and thus ruining society. And russian inflation is now among the highest in the world (yes, Argentina is higher). Therefore the "growth" of russia's economy is not good for russia, it's bad. And it's only going to get worse, because at this point it's beyond possible reverse. As one russian economist put it: "It's a horror to witness this destruction of russia's economy. But it's fascinating to follow to situation."

  7. ​ @FactCheckerGuy  I've read a couple of Emanuel Todd articles. My impression was that he should stick to anthropology.

  8. ​ @ald1144 Silicon Curtain. British Jonathan does 1 hour long deep diving interviews with all sorts of people with some expertise in russia, Ukraine, and anything concerning the war and the situation. The guests are very varied. Some have been interviewed by the channel more than once. Besides the YT channel Jonathan is actively involved in grassroot work against russian misinformation. Silicon Curtain itself is a very sober channel. I highly recommend it.

  9.  @shtBlock  I've seen documented so and so many train loads of North Korean ammunition going to that specific ammo depot a short time before the attack, the amount suggesting that the ammo depot could well have been completely full at the time of the attack. If true then that was about 30,000 tonnes of ordnance that went boom! I can't tell how long it would've taken them to spend that on the battlefield.

  11.  @markobucevic8991  Wrong. Never. For the first months if you count only the official russian army under the russian MoD. You have to include all the mercenary organisations as well as the Luhansk and Dontesk forces on the russian side, they they clearly outnumbered the Ukrainians. Then after half a year came the russian mobil... mogilization, vastly increasing the number of troops on the russian side.
