Yeah, that is insulting. "Scrap your army. No other allies. We keep this territory. We promise we won't regroup and attack." A year later, "Russians are being persecuted!" It is even worse when you realize giving up weapons is what got Ukraine into this position in the first place. Ya know their nukes.

@misterx-gy3fg Yeah. Making alcohol at home is easy. That is why it is legal, because it would literally be impossible to stop. Distilling is a bit more complicated, and you need to be careful of other alcohols in it yet it doesn't take a genius or even a lot . I heard though it actually isn't as cheap for some reason. Well I saw a guy making wine, and it was only comparable to box wine in cost?! With taxes included! Gotta be a way to make it cheaper than he did. Maybe buy bulk sugar or something. Economy of scale and yada yada.

I'm actually surprised how small those numbers are. 8 billion and losing one third that is bad, but I thought it would be closer to 20, and losing half or something. China if they play their cards right they could jump ahead of other countries. Shout out to South Korea on some of their systems. Same with Sweden. Yet I don't know how strict these countries are which is one thing Russia was pretty good at as far as I could tell. They seemed to sell to anyone so I'm curious who will take that place.

@alek9195 I mean most countries print money including Russia and China. In fact China specifically relies on control of their money for their encomy. Dollar is at least a free floating currency. So if the US wants to retain it as the dominate currency (which is why we went to war with Iraq) it can't just print it like how they think without major repercussions. Still all I'm saying is Russia only exporting 8 billion is extremely low to me. The freaken arms industry is huge ya know? 19 billion sounds right to me. Fun fact when you add in cost parody to military spending? Many countries come close to the US in it! Including Russia. I'm not sure what the statistics were, let alone how accurate it, but it really showed how bad the corruption really was for Russia.

Yeah I guess you're right. They failed during the invasion especially when Ukraine counter striked and took back a ton of territory. Both situations had Russia and Putin looking like a fool - by all accounts Russia should have stomped Ukraine. Then winter hit. So they needed a win during their next offensive and hence Bakhmut... Which turned into a slaughter fest but they did win. So uh yay.b Putin unstoppable! Russian resolve great! Russia strong. Hulk smash... Wait Putin best NATO WEAPONS!

It wouldn't suprise me if Russians were caught prioritizing vodka over the war. Yet why would they be drinking from puddles? Surely they'd be making rain catchers if it was that bleak. Russian logistics are weak, but Russian soldiers aren't that dumb overall.

I can honestly say I have never met a single person in my life who has said anything close to that. Maybe it happens in Europe? I can see Germans saying something like that with all the pacifist. In America? No. Everyone loves Poland. They are like the pitbull of Europe just pulling at the leash. I know I do. Keep those weak MFers in Europe in check. This also goes for all the other ex Soviet Bloc countries that may not be as big as Poland. Yet try to pull their weight.

@Rob-y9p Ask yourself how isn't Russia a threat? Russia never stopped being warlike. It went to war with Chechnya, then Georgia, and then Ukraine. It interfered with all their politics. Then you say it was justified to get the port, and other areas? You probably think Ukraine was forced into NATO, and Russia had every right to attack it. Gee I wonder why so many have joined NATO! Probably has to do with the fact Russia is constantly trying to grow, either through manipulation or outright invading for BS purposes. Russia is just an oil company masquerading as a nation. They need to stay in their lane. Glad Europe is getting its shyte together, and making Putin suffer. Make no mistake. Putin did this for his legacy. He wanted to bring back Russia as a power house, to go down in history books like Peter the Great. Now he's just Poutin Putin, always threatening Nukes if Ukraine is allowed to actually fight back into Russia like the little bitch he is.
