There is zero way for russia to win this war other than for completely destroying all of Ukraine. And that would be at the cost of their military and economy being destroyed. Russia will become a welfare state

Have you paid any attention to last month in Ukraine?

Sorry I don't get hard watching a country get ruined. Ukraine was already the definition of a shithole. That's not getting better anytime soon.

My parents got exchange students from Poland. Even they make fun of Ukraine. Russia, Belarus, and Russia are all the definition of white trash counties.

I hope they stop killing each other

So they’re a shithole of a country! Who cares that Poland makes fun of them? Doesn’t mean those people deserve to have their country demolished and their citizens murdered. And none of us get hard over this. We just appreciate how they refuse to concede.

You act like you know what you’re talking about when your reference point is weaker than you think. I absolutely agree with the hope that they stop killing each other and that nuclear war is not a viable option, but stfu with your ignorance about the people who live in these places. You aren’t the only person on these boards with connections to people globally, including in Poland and Ukraine. You imply that others have a hard on for war for simply striving to stay informed, and then proceed to post all over this thread. Stop being a hypocrite. Referring to entire swaths of people, particularly in the middle of apocalyptic shit, as white trash is outright disgusting.

White trash in track suits are white trash.

I'm the one asking for them to find a deal that both can work with without the world getting drenched in radiation. Would you send your kid to die for Kiev? How bout your Dad? Your cousin? Your nephew? The answer will always be no. Slavs do slav things. Leave them alone. They aren't and have never been worth our time, particularly those east of Warsaw.

Ukraine is a country of 40 million people. Against a country with over 4x that. They can push back Russia on a temporary basis. But the math works out on way and one way only.

Ukraine's best hope is to either make a deal or for Russia to have an uprising. The concept of a legitimate military victory is scarce unless Russia is willing to tolerate losing... because if Russia truly wants to win... they will.

Not really, it’s easier to defend than to attack. You have greater attrition coming at someone than holding ground.

Not sure why you keep bringing up nuclear war. Putin’s not dumb enough to pull the trigger. As OMM said bombing with a nuclear weapon would waste all the territory he wants and he risks the NATO countries stepping in at that point.

He's doing what he always falls back on --- demeaning other people as trash and not worth caring about.
It also gives him pleasure to piss people off and direct attention ---- just like Kuehnja/Koonja/Koon used to do.
It should be beneath any of our dignities to correspond with a person who refers to whole countries and their
people as trash. I'll bet that lots of us on IE have connections to folks in or from Eastern Europe. All of these
countries have rich histories and wonderful real people. Let his inhumane prejudices die unanswered.

He’s always reminded me of an angry Koon. Guy needs some female attention in his life, seems frustrated.

I bring up nuclear war because that's a very realistic possibility if NATO gets overly involved.

Further, he could nuke parts of Ukraine he is indifferent towards (the western side). I don't think that will happen.

Not really. NATO has shown no inclination they will be stepping in. Besides Putin doesn’t want any nukes raining down on himself.

Easy to say that when you aren't the dictator guy who got himself into a mess. The longer this goes and the more dead Russians there are, the more Russia (Putin) may be willing to escalate.

Goldman predicts Russia's economy will shrink 10% in 2022.
That is a lot of pain that will be inflicted on the populace, the stinging cost of their blind faith in Vlad.
This will be neither dramatic nor swift, but a slow, demeaning depressing nauseous economic pain.
the chickens are coming home to roost.

www.businessinsider.in

Russia's economy will shrink a huge 10% this year, Goldman Sachs says — its worst contraction since the dark days of the 1990s

New Western sanctions on Russian trade will cause the country's exports to drop 10% and imports to tumble 20% this year, Goldman said.

The despondency of Putin.
Misha finds war "too chaotic"
takes up Ukrainian offer
surrenders his tank
takes the money and the relocation
\
(any Viet Vets on here may remember "chieu hoi" Yikes!

nypost.com

Russian soldier allegedly surrenders tank for $10K, Ukrainian citizenship

A Russian soldier surrendered his tank to Ukraine in exchange for $10,000, a comfortable place to live and a chance to apply for citizenship, a Ukrainian official said.
nypost.com nypost.com

So Misha face planted for $10 k and a voter card.

How dat feel Vlad?

"Uninvestable" is the Russian Stock Market

MSCI knocks Russian market off its "EMERGING MARKETS" Index

Chicken Vlad can only open his stock market for four hours. And with significant trading curbs.

abcnews.go.com

Russian stocks slide as trading resumes for all companies

Russian shares have slumped as its stock market resumed trading of all companies after a monthlong halt following the Ukraine invasion
abcnews.go.com abcnews.go.com

How's that "SANCTION PROOFING" working for you, Vlad?

And people are whispering behind their mittens. They know more than they are letting on in public or in media that you and the KGB monitor.

You have lost "your team" Vlad, at least the ones with real money.
