In 2014 USA backed with money and propaganda a revolution, coup in Ukraine, changing power in this country, while Russia was investing money into Ukraine for years since 2000s. So USA basically robbed Russia, and Russia as an answer captured Crimea. Russia came for its share of Ukraine. This is how this war started, basically. Russia just wants its share which USA simply stolen from Russia by organizing a revolution in Ukraine. Crimea is just basically Russian territory with MAJORITY of 60% of population being Russians, and just minority of 16% of Ukrainians, which was transfered from Russia to Ukraine by Soviet government. After the collapse of USSR Russia wanted friendship and cooperation with Ukraine, and Russia recognized Crimea as Ukrainian. But American backed revolution in Ukraine changed this and Russia came to liberate Crimea at first place, and Crimean Russian population wanted to reunite with Russia for years, they are still happy that they are in Russia and support Putin and SMO. Later Russia played reverse UNO card and backed coups in the Donbass, leading to creation of Donetsk and Luhansk separatists, who declared independence from Ukraine. But instead of going to war, Putin wanted to trade this territory back to Ukraine in exchange of Russian political influence on Ukraine. And Putin had a very good deal with Ukrainian president Poroshenko, but they both made 2 mistakes - Putin lost control over Donbass rebels and they didn't wanted to make a peace deal with Uktaine. The same way Putin lost control over Prigojin and Wagner group in 2023. While Ukrainian president Poroshenko lost control over his parliament and Ukrainian parliament also rejected peace deal. So, Putin and Poroshenko made another deal - Ukraine DIDN'T returned Donbass back, but Russia was allowed to invest money into media and political parties inside Ukraine, and pro-Russian party was leading elections on 2nd place in Ukrainian parliament with 20% of vote, until Zelensky came to power and started censorship and purges against free media and his opponents in Ukraine. So, Russia lost the only one peaceful mean of influence over Ukraine and Russia used military soultion.
At now Trump is ready to make a deal with Russia dividing Ukraine 50/50. Nothing personal, just business. USA have backed with money and media revolution, change of power in Ukraine in 2014, so Russia which invested money, territories and people into Ukraine was robbed, USA simply have stolen everything from Russia, and at now USA are taking responsibility for their actions, and using diplomacy instead of war. Russia IS reliable ally and partner, unlike European Union, and in early 2000s there was an attempt of friendship between USA and Russia. When 9/11 attack happened, Putin was the first president in the World who called American president, and Russia even allowed its airspace and territory for American army going to war on terror in Afghanistan. USA and Russia need to be at least neutral and not cause problems to each other.

China isn't Russian friend - Chinese economy depends on the Western property rights - Chinese economy was built as a labor market for Western companies. China have more trade with US, than with Russia, and Chinese students and immigrants in US at now are normal thing. The US is main investor of Chinese economy. This is a lie, that China and USA are enemies - the government needs the picture of foreign enemy for propaganda, to unite people in the country and distract people from social problems. China and US aren't enemies - de facto Chinese economy depends on Western World as a labor market. The Chinese aren't able to build something by their numerical brains and hands. Their economy was build by Western World. And Western World, which is controlling exchange rates, depends on cheap products from China. But both Chinese and American governments are lying to their people, by picturing this "enemy". In reality China isn't suppourting Russia - China is using the moment to supress Russia in Chinese-Russian economic deals. There is no secret, that Russian-Chinese economic deals aren't equal. Russia suffering more and gaining lesser from trading with China. For example, in 2014, when Russia invaded Crimea, Russia isolated herself from the West, the West sanctioned Russia for annexation of Crimea in 2014. But Russia depends on oil and gaz trade and import of technologies. And Russia had no choise, but to build gaz pepeline to China. This peoject was very expensive to Russia, and China in 2015 simply used the situation - China was bying Russian gaz by much lower prices than Global average. China also cuts down Russian forests in Siberia for low prices, destroying the Russian ecology and beauties of Siberia. Chinese are making the building materials from Russian wood, but Chinese are selling to Russians the lowest-quality building materials, that were made from sawdust, while normal-quality materials Chinese are holding for themselves. Russia have a status of a resource colony in Russo-Chinese economic relations. And at now China would also use the situation by colonizing Russia more - Samsung and Apple already leaved Russian market, and Chinese companies would take it. Europe at now started the programm of removal from dependence from Russian gaz and oil. Russian economy is totally dependent on oil and gaz. Putin, like street bagger would run to China for economic deal. And Chinese wouldn't made this deal equal with Russians. Putin before the 2022 was an independent president, but after this war he would simply the executer of orders from Bejing.

@kingsleykester8167 The Russians invaded Ukraine without numerical superiority, despite the fact that the attacking side suffers more losses, especially Kiev - a city of four million with twenty-storey buildings. Cities are always very difficult to storm. Russian troops are stuck in the suburbs of Kiev. There is no mobilization in Russia, while it is underway in Ukraine, and therefore the Ukrainian side is gradually accumulating a numerical advantage. The Russian command, realizing that Kiev could not be taken with the available forces, withdrew troops from all regions of Ukraine, except the east and south. By the way, Ukrainians absolutely incompetently surrendered the south of their country, did not pay enough attention to the south, although they could stop the Russian offensive right on the border, in a very narrow Crimean isthmus, where the terrain is quite open. A narrow open corridor with one road. Ukraine missed a huge chance. Russian Russians became a distraction maneuver of the Russian army, because while Ukrainians were occupied by Kiev, the Russians encircled Mariupol and consolidated their success in the east of Ukraine.

@kingsleykester8167 Before the war, Russia had a land army of 360 thousand soldiers. Ukraine has 160 thousand. Against 160 thousand Ukrainian soldiers, Russia used about 150 thousand of its soldiers. At the same time, in Russia, the army remained at the pre-war level, since the war has not been formally declared and there is no mobilization, and in Ukraine everyone is put under arms. Two months later, the Ukrainians had a serious numerical advantage, and the Russian army got bogged down. At the same time, Russia almost does not use conscripts, and fights only with contract soldiers, while Ukraine uses untrained cannon fodder against Russia, which has total superiority in artillery and aviation. Ukrainian contractors, on the other hand, have anti-tank weapons and drones. Russian contractors are not as good as the Ukrainian ones, and in an equal battle, Ukrainian contractors defeat the Russians. Now neither side can achieve success anymore

@nrw64 famine in the USSR was caused by the fact that the United States stopped selling grain due to drought. The Soviet government did not suit him on purpose. Labor camps were in America, and during the First World War, Russian emigrants were imprisoned in American camps. In Soviet camps (gulags), for 30 years, less than a million people were kept with a population of 160, in America, over the same 30 years - 700,000, with a population of 140. That is, there were as many people in American gulags as in Soviet ones. And there were almost no innocent convicts there, there were massive police checks and amnesty. The state did not control the executions. Stalin did not kill anyone, executions were not his doing, those who were in the gulags deserved their punishment

@Дмитрийоколов-ч8щ да, но модернизированные версии уступают Западным аналогам.
В случае России я думаю что лучше сделать новый танк - экипаж стоит гораздо дороже танка, пусть не в деньгах, но во времени и количестве.
В российской армии есть серезная проблема, которая заключается в низкой выживаемости экипажей. В советских танках, таких как Т-72, Т-80 и Т-90, довольно часто при попадани снаряда взрывается боекомплект. Экипаж взрывается и сгорает в адских температурах, а башня улетает. Танк Т-114 "Армата" как раз таки отличался тем, что у него башня необитаема, а экипаж сидит под толстой передней бронёй. И при взрыве боекомлекта экипаж выживает. И то, что Т-114 не пошел в производство из-за коррупции, это плохо. В 2014 году Минобороны обещало к 2020 году вооружить армию 2300 таких танков. Если бы это произошло, сейчас бы было меньше погибших экипажей. А были бы выжившие, обученные экипажи с боевым опытом.

@davothegreat9990 Russia may declare mobilization. What sanctions will prevent Putin from doing this? Putin did not announce the mobilization, because it would anger the people. Putin counted on a quick and easy victory over Ukraine, they wanted to take Kiev in 3 days. Putin did not plan and did not prepare for a protracted war. Without mobilization, Putin's army got bogged down in the Donbas - Ukrainians have at least numerical equality, besides they have been building fortifications for 8 years. The Russian army is almost not advancing. However, the scary thing is that Putin will someday declare mobilization, he will have no other choice. And then Russian recruits will meet face to face with Ukrainian soldiers who will already have extensive experience in combat operations. And the Ukrainian army will be very numerous by that time, which means that the scale of battles and losses in Russia will be much higher. If this war lasts another half a year, Russia will declare mobilization, and then there will be a meat grinder in general. They will go to Kiev again. Hundreds of thousands of dead, the war will go on for 2-3 years

@РимидалвВешаген и да, я вот вопрос тебе задам - а зачем СССР вообще заключил пакт Молотова-Реббинтроппа? С какой целью Сталин согласился на предложение немецкого министра иностранных дел заключить пакт, согласно которому СССР бы агрессивно расширился в Восточной Европе и стал бы пособником Гитлеровской Германии?
СССР боялся, что Германия нападет? Так у СССР и Германии до раздела Польши не было общих границ, а Германия бы не напала на Польшу без гарантий ненападения со стороны СССР, для чего собственно Риббентропп и летал в Москву. Да и к тому же сам СССР рвался в бой против Германии во время Чехословацкого кризиса, и во время Московских переговоров летом 1939 СССР прямо хотел вступить в войну против Германии на стороне Союзников и Польши.
Если Сталин, у которого кстати танков, солдат и самолетов было в пять раз больше, чем у Германии, так боялся нападения Гитлера, то почему Сталин хотел вступить в войну против Германии в 1938, поддержав Чехословакию, почему Сталин хотел вступить в войну против Германии в 1939, поддержав Польшу, и почему такой боязливый Сталин сам позволил Гитлеру заполучить границу с СССР, которой до раздела Польши в 1939 году не было?

@РимидалвВешаген Сталин не хотел войны. Ага, и именно поэтому государственной идеологией СССР была Мировая революция, гимном был Интернационал, существовала организация Комминтерн. "Мы раздуваем пожар МИРОВОЙ, церкви и тюрьмы сравняем с землей". "Наше отечество - все человечество". Когда СССР вторгался в Польшу и Финляндию, в советских газетах писалось об освободительном походе советских войск по освобождению польских и финнских рабочих от капитала.
Государственной идеологией СССР была Мировая коммунистическая революция - агрессивное военное распространение коммунизма и советизма. СССР с самого начала своего существования был агрессивным военнизированным государством, которое хотело вторгаться, нападать на другие страны и народы, чтобы распространить Мировую революцию. После Второй Мировой войны СССР установил в освобожденных государствах Восточной Европы марионеточные правительства. Мирный СССР помогал развязать войну в Корее и Вьетнаме, Анголе, Афганистане. СССР давил восстания жаждущих свободы жителей Восточной Европы танками. СССР спонсировал коммунистические революции по всему Миру. Это было агрессивное людоедское государство, и Сталин был таким же агрессором и людоедом, как и Гитлер. Просто цели экспансии были разные.
Что касаемо событий Второй Мировой, то я опять же скажу, что Сталин, который как вы говорите не хотел войны, хотел ввести войска в Чехословакию в 1938, на случай немецкого вторжения. А еще СССР хотел летом 1939 заключить военный альянс с Союзниками, узнайте про так называемые Московские переговоры. СССР не боялся войны с Германией, и более того, до сентября 1939 года СССР рвался в бой и пытался ввязаться в войну, а еще лучше чиркнуть спичкой первым. С Чехословакией и Польшей не получилось, ибо Союзники пытались оттянуть войну и боялись того, что СССР так сильно рвется в бой, и с Союзниками поэтому договориться не удалось, и тогда Сталин согласился на предложение уже Германии о разделе сфер влияния. Переговоры между Германией и СССР и переговоры между Союзниками и СССР проходили в одно и то же время. В августе 1939 Сталин по сути выбирал между двумя предложениями.
До Советско-Финнской войны советская армия считалась сильнейшей в Мире, до Финнской войны немецкое командование считало советскую армию сильнее немецкой. Это было обусловлено во многом тем, что у СССР было очень много военной техники - в 1939 году у СССР было около 16 тысяч танков, в то время как у Германии их было 3 тысячи, у Франции 4 тысячи и у Британии менее тысячи танков. При этом Германия и СССР были злейшими врагами. Германия хотела разнести Союзников, и хотела начать с вторжения в Польшу, однако Гитлер, который боялся войны с как тогда считалось превосходящей советской военной машиной, не мог вторгнуться в Польшу без пакта о ненападении с СССР, однако враждебный по отношению к Германии СССР нужно было еще уговорить на этот пакт, и для этого Германия решила отказаться от некоторых своих завоеваний в Восточной Европе в пользу СССР - вместе с пактом о ненападении шел секретный протокол о разделе сфер влияния в Восточной Европе, как плата за советское согласие. Пакт о ненападении между СССР и Германией совершенно не нужен был Сталину, но он был жизненно необходим Гитлеру, Германия бы не напала на Польшу, если бы не был заключен пакт с СССР. СССР - виновник Второй Мировой. Параллельно с предложением Риббентроппа Молотов и Сталин рассматривали и предложение Союзников - Союзники понимали, что в Германия сейчас хочет напасть на Польшу, и потому Союзники хотели купить нейтралитет у Советского Союза, а еще лучше заключить контракты о советском ленд-лизе для Польши. Однако переговоры с Союзниками зашли в тупик, потому что Союзники хотели оттянуть войну, а СССР, который видел в Германии злейшего врага, бряцал оружием и хотел объявить войну с Германией, СССР рвался в бой, что и отпугнуло Союзников, и переговоры провалились. Поскольку переговоры с Союзниками провалились, СССР и заключил с Германией пакт, предложенный Риббентроппом
