  1. And he make that clear in speech from 2006. Just no one listen.

  2. Russia can be easily understand if we look from perspective of imperial colonialists with delusion of grandeur.

  3.  @SDRsUnited  Cope is strong with you.

  4. Worth to remind that EU has economy larger then China

  5.  @artfx9  Plus massive invasion of toxic plants.

  6. Wagner operations do continue in Africa, what was they primary job before they were sacrificed during war in Ukraine. But the thing is that Kremlin always did see them as deniable assets (black ops). Problem was that Utkin (the actual guy running operations) wanted glory for those who sacrificed themselves for cause. Because bulk of they old guard forces were nationalists who did care about empire (Nazbols). Problem is that Kremlin has video game logic use of PMC's.

  7.  @todd1770  They did. China invaded Vietnam immediately after US left. They lost. You seriously use imperialistic logic here. Bigger is not better. US is currently strongest on the planet and it spectacularly fail with Russia.

  8. Russia evolved to state of Congo, who may have nukes.

  9.  @larsrons7937  Russia, Russia never changes.

  10. Oresznik is slightly modified Rubezh missile, what is slightly modified Topol-M IRBM. Russians generally didn't invent anything new from the 90's.

  11.  @gottagowork  Problem with sanctioning people is that they would redirect they anger to outside source. It make more sense to sanction they work providers. So people could not afford those imports.

  12. I just watch interview with Russian economist in opposition press. He basically said that new tax reform in Russia is basically killing they middle size industry and central bank can't control inflation anymore. Side note: Russia is basically already short on cash.

  13.  @JohnDunne001  Drone warfare is overrated. West was developing those from half of century and a lot of techniques used during this war, were already tested in Afganistan. Only new quality is that drones allow undeveloped countries to gain some limited skills, what previously were reserved only to big players.
    2
  14.  @JohnDunne001  Especially the desperate violence.
    2
  15. Russia is doomed. Putin basically LARP now like he fight NATO, what is not even there. But it is clear that all they allies start gradually realizing that Russia is fake and sacrifice them for own imperial delusions. China is bit more complicated case. I think it is clear that Chinese miracle ended and Xi try stop imploding economy. But that doesn't mean that they would really bankrupt. More go in long recession with becoming regular economy in the end.

  16.  @SDRsUnited  Russians say many deranged things.

  17.  @stephenhill545  Amen! You don't even know how many people forget that.

  18.  @maronily  Because Russia IS NOT a superpower and Putin must deal with it. Also Putin delusion started in 2006, when George W. Bush refused to split world between two. West unfortunately refused to see Putin's fall in delusion after that.

  19.  @maronily  Obama's reset was because he believed that Bush did something to anger the Russia. And it was showing them they place. Great separation from reality speech of Putin has place in 2006.

  20.  @todd1770  US is far from falling. Most people who claim that, do not know how economy and geopolitics work. Only thing what can kill US is Donald Trump.

  21. Ukrainians do eliminate military targets in Russia constantly. I heard about at least dozen similar cases. But Russians usually hide those under the rug. This one specific was jut high profile enough to get attention. It generally should not be surprise, because the scary KGB from movies, were Ukrainians. Most of FSB/GRU are bureaucrats, who mostly focus on running Russian colonial empire and not are actually capable to be serious threat. Until someone openly lack security.

  22. Source of stability of Russian economy is faking the data.

  23.  @mats8375  Lol, that is cope of our times. Idea that West has no people is ridiculous. NATO has 3.5 milion active personel alone. And that not even including reservists, what commonly are undisclosed. But most NATO members actually still have mobilization capability. Russia has 1 mln. Army and as we did see in practice, that include all they reserves. Yes. They maybe mobilized additional half milion, but most of that is untrained, unhealthy, not particularly bright and poorly motivated. Impoverishment actually do not increase the morale. In fact most Russians don't even know why they fight. Most who sign in were lied and simply do not know that they survival chance is close to zero. And Russia is still short on recruits. What say a lot.

  24.  @formes2388  Europe still has a lot of weapons. European military is more defensively organized and in fact has huge gap in readiness rates and especially modernization. But it is far from defenseless. The problem was lack of strategic reserves, which is why US is needed in Ukraine. US actually has stuff to sell.

  25. @ US was only country in NATO who called Article 5 for Afganistan. Now they hide like cowards under the sofa.

  26. it isn't yet as big issue as some people claim to be.

  28. US currently has greater problem then Europe. The problem of Europe is that most leaders are regional.

  29. You are aware that Russian nuclear parity with US is a cope? Konstantin is from Russian energy sector. He may know truth.
    1
  30. What I find interesting is Konstantin claiming that China has more nukes then Russia. Because officially China has less nukes then European Union. I did suspect that Russia degraded to point that they may have only few hundred working nukes (if at all). But I suspect here him having inside knowledge about this. As it does align with my suspicions.

  31. Russia is roughly equivalent of Mexico or Brazil. They economy is tiny in comparison to big three: US, EU and China. They population, while relatively large. Is nowhere near largest players. And they entire science and industry was gutted. Putin is straight delusional, believing that he can face NATO. When Russia lost most of major wars when it actually was on top.

  32.  AB-r8k  And you of course do not provide any evidence. How expected.

  33.  AB-r8k  You call my believer and yet not provide evidence. Classic.

  34. Putin never loved NATO. After fall of USSR and US not retaliating against them. Many people in Russia, who refused to accept that they lost Cold War. Come to conclusion that US agree to split world together. Putin was one of those. It was not what US ever claimed and Americans make quite fast, clear that they do not treat Russia above anyone else. Because they DID win and everyone is equal anyway. Putin who was delusional about all this, was offended and to be clear. There never were serious propositions of entering NATO. Only few loose discussions, overblown for propaganda reasons. Unfortunately West refused to accept that Russia backslide to imperial delusions, as they were blind by greed and misunderstand Fukuyama (who to be clear predict Russia loosing war, just no one actually read his arguments). And so we are here now...

  35. It is actually quite simple. This war happen because Putin has small penis. That is it.
    1
  36. People fail to understand that Putin was preparing Russia for war with NATO from two decades. He accumulated massive reserves and has low debet. Modern economy provide many tools what allow us to stabilize the market... for a time... and not for free. The thing is that due to failed priorities, Russia burns through that money. But for few years they can pretend to have stable economy, etc.

  37. Not really, but there is a lot of nuclear capable states. That is true.

  38.  James-z6x3u  They wouldn't. Also costs of war are nowhere near profits from some mines.

  39. Well, it is because Ukrainians are nationality and Russians are not. Most of Ukrainians has a lot culture specific things, they can use to recognize each other. Wile Russia was even denying that Ukrainians as nation are a thing. Meanwhile Russia is multi-ethnic mix of hundred enslaved nations, which on top of that steal most of they culture. So Ukrainians end being more Russian then majority of the actual Russians. Especially if we include systematic cultural genocide done by Russia.

  40. Russians masturbating over Oreshnik missiles is quite hilarious. Only reason why MRBM's are scary is that they can be confused with nukes. Otherwise they have no real strategical advantage. But Russians lost connection with reality.

  41. To be clear Poland do not consider need for nuclear program. It already finalized it in the 90's.
    1
  42. @ He was more ambiguous, speaking about need of nuclear deterrence. Mentioning discussion with France about extension of they nuclear umbrela for example. At the same time Poland is one of several countries (including Sweden, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan) who already has this ability. It is in fact why Poland join NATO. Despite US opposition and with blessing from Yeltsin.

  43. Interesting fact. Japan officially confirmed that they can get nukes in a week in case of collapse of nuclear umbrela. Translating that from diplomatic to human. They already have nukes. Just they are stored in disabled and unmarked state. If Agent Orange kill the deal. We can see shockingly rapid proliferation.

  46. @ "First of all Russia actually has the most sophisticated anti missile defense system in the world." And Tesla troopers. We talk if you return to reality.

  47. I ensure you that Poland would build fortifications way earlier, if Germany would not sabotage all defense projects in the region.

  48. Texas by itself, probably could defeat Russia.

  49.  @JohnDunne001  If you ignore that West was doing military operations in last decade and large scale war more then decade ago. War in Ukraine nowhere near stand to confrontation with actual NATO.
