kind of amazing it survived honestly



Exactly, the US went for massive escalation with an attack on the world’s largest gas field, and now wants to end such attacks. It’s a really transparent tactic to try and control escalation. If Iran permits the US to decide when to escalate, their deterrence collapses and they will also lose the war. The energy infrastructure of the Gulf States will now burn and US escalation control remains a delusion.
I’m going to predict that regime change will happen as a result of this… in the west.


It was agreed back in February
meanwhile in the real world https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-no-deal-90-billion-ukraine-loan-viktor-orban-european-council/
And just wait till Germany, France, and UK have elections. You’ll get a lot more Orbans in power in short order.
The civilian economy is currently being cannibalised to support the war economy.
Repeating nonsense over and over isn’t going to make it true.
Oh, but you were just telling me that mainstream media has no idea what they’re talking about and only an idiot would take them seriously. Looks like the reality is that you just cherry pick what fits with your narrative here. But let’s play this game. Russian economy is slowing down, how does that compare to Europe?
Oh dear, that doesn’t look good at all.
As you keep on ignoring all of the manpower committed to the war effort and hundreds of billions in equity given to the MIC.
Nobody is ignoring anything, you’re being explained the basic fact that over 90% of the economy is not affected by this. Meanwhile, the war is actually helping boost domestic economy through contracts that create employment, and require new factories, reindustrialization, steel production, and so on. That’s the whole Keynesian militarism that Europe keeps trying to do, but has no energy for. Keep huffing that copium, makes everything better I suppose.
The Telegraph is a right wing tabloid, they have consistently backed the Russian viewpoint in this war and have zero credibility.
It’s the most rabidly anti Russian publication that has been consistently spreading Ukrainian propaganda. Absolutely hilarious how you claim they’re pro Russian. Really highlights how delusional you really are.
The article is also behind a pay wall, I am not going out of my way to read this article that I am sure you have not even read.
Imagine being so internet illiterate that you don’t even know how to paste a link into archive.ph, incredible stuff.
If all else fails pull out a straw man eh buddy, much easier to fight than a real opponent.
Oh, I’m sorry, but was it not you that kept braying that Ukraine took territory and that shows they’re winning?
You then screamed that it was a war of attrition that I didn’t understand and that somehow losing territory is good for Russia?
Now, that’s the actual straw man here because what I actually said is that minor changes in territory are irrelevant in this conflict because it’s a conflict where the AFU is being attrited. There is no strategic significance to the gains Ukraine made, they’re not going to change the direction of the war. But they do cost Ukraine precious troops which it should be saving given that it has a far lower population to work with. But I think we’ve already established that math isn’t exactly your forte.
We’ve all been watching Russian soldiers being blown to bits in large groups for the last month.
Weird how the actual casualties favor Russia https://ukrainewarlosses.org/
The site that you dismissed because it doesn’t fit with your fantasies actually provides their methodology. And you can watch a detailed explanation of how the data was sourced here https://youtu.be/LoiP5Rfpmpw
This fundamental intellectual dishonesty is why Russia are going to lose this war. They can’t even be honest with themselves.
Oh look more projection.


it is pretty transparent that Israel is a fascist state, and it says volumes about every western country that refuses to acknowledge this fact


I know right, if only I put an archived link in the body of the submission!


I literally say “mainstream media is brain rot” where you yourself quoted me directly below where you say this statement.
This dude gets all his information from conspiracy theory channels on telegram like a true intellectual.
But that was approved.
It was not, because the proxy war is going so great that there’s no unanimous agreement on funding it anymore.
Russian industry outside of the mitary industrial estate complex is shrinking.
The only thing shrinking here is your peanut sized brain.
40% of all government spending on the military + the $100s of billions in loans to defence contractors from commercial banks + all of the able bodied men committed is not a small part of the economy by any description.
Less than 8% of the overall economy but keep on braying.
Laughable that Russia, the supposed second military in the world ended up in such a war on their border with Ukraine.
It really is laughable how Europe managed to destroy itself in a war with Russia once again.
We can all find articles that fit our own confirmation bias.
Said the troll while having zero self awareness.
There is no sign of this happening though. If anything Russian lines are looking pretty shakey at the minute.
You should let Ukrainians know ASAP, seems like you have a better understanding of the war than they do https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/03/17/volodymyr-zelensky-london-starmer-remember-ukraine/
This war is nothing like WW2 though, it is much closer to ww1. The major difference between them and now is the drones and Ukraine’s drone game is currently better.
Ah yes, the guy who thinks that war of attrition is about territory is now lecturing on the distinction between WW1 and WW2.


Mainstream financial publications like the cccp owned Global Times News.
Yeah, you’ve been see see pee owned alright. Financial publications like Bloomberg and Financial times. Also, love how you’re dumb enough to think your oligarch owned media isn’t propaganda bud.
This is likely your problem, the mainstream media is brain rot, nobody reads it anymore which is why they are not doing well financially. I also dislike when people use “literally” when it is not appropriate in the sentence. It makes me feel like I’m talking to a poorly educated teenager.
Yup, them telegram channels sure know better. Also, don’t give a shit what an ignoramus likes or dislikes. You’re literally clueless.
Financing Ukraine in this war is a drop in the economic bucket, remember the EU economy is 10 times the size of the Russian one. If it is hurting the EU imagine what it’s doing to Russia. There are other reasons for the sluggish EU growth but this is not the forum for that.
Ah yes, that’s why the EU is now struggling to approve another 90 billion for the proxy war.
Again with your mainstream media, you need to get off Fox news grandpa and get with the 21st century.
Show me a single fox article I linked lying little shit.
I will pay it happily if it keeps the Russian hordes in Mordor. On a more positive note I have found my European holidays more enjoyable for the same reason.
How to say you’re a racist little fash without saying it.
You should be more careful about the sources you chose to post, unverified slop like this site makes you look like a bad actor.
Says the imbecile who gets all his information on telegram.
You then seem to think that Russia won’t collapse because America spends more money than Russia on defence.
Nope, that’s just you having reading comprehension of a squirrel on meth. What I actually said was that military spending in Russia accounts for a small part of the overall economy, and that Russian industry has actually been growing to fill the niches left by western companies leaving. I also provided actual sources that aren’t telegram channels explaining this.
The USA are also only spending about 3% of GDP on this war
The USA is spending on maintaining over 800 military bases all over the globe, and that sure costs more than 3% of the GDP.
China is by far the bigger player in Sino-Russian relations.
You seem to be under the impression that I think it would be a bad thing for China to have more influence over Russia.
Ah so a war of attrition is one where Russia struggles to take ground against their much smaller neighbor for 4 years while their economy goes down the toilet. I was such a fool, I get it now!
Wars of attrition aren’t about taking ground, but clearly you lack cognitive capacity to get that through that thick skull of yours. Russian goal is the destruction of the AFU, and as the site linked which actually explains its methodology shows, that goal is progressing steadily. Once the AFU collapses, Russia can take any and all territory it wants. Just as it happened during WW2 when the front was static for whole four years and then the Soviet army marched on Berlin in months. But I guess they didn’t teach you history at the clown school you went to.
Russian media ban is because RT is just a propaganda network, why would Europe let Russia beam propaganda in when fighting a proxy war, this is a no brainer and Russia does the exact same thing.
That’s right, can only see wholesome domestic propaganda.
You can see your projection from the moon dude!
Cope harder loser.
I know right? This is why Russia is doing it and Ukraine is not, your words homie. I do love our little chats.
The same Ukraine which banned all independent media and opposition parties. Just how dumb are you exactly?
You really must have a fetish for public humiliation, that’s the only reason I can think of why you’re still in this thread. Can’t wait to see what new drivel you’ll spew next.


Europe still imports a lot of Russian oil and gas through intermediaries.


I agree, it would be a huge tragedy. And especially so given that we could be living in a whole different world in a few months. They just have to hold out a bit longer.


We’ll see if the US dares conduct piracy against a Russian flagged ship. So far, they have done it against ships carrying Russian oil, but flagged by other countries.


right, they’re removing the culprit of the crisis in the headline


And remind me why Iran closed the strait again?


A global famine might be the final crime of the American regime before it collapses.
Trump just didn’t magically appear out of a different dimension, and opportunists like him were always there. What changed was that the material conditions declined to a point where large swaths of the public lost faith in mainstream politics. They never recovered from the 2008 crisis when Obama bailed out the banks and left the public hanging. That set up the stage for the first Trump victory where he campaigned on draining the swamp. Then they were hit by the pandemic, and the proxy war in Ukraine under Biden. And the anger at the collapsing standard of living, lack of jobs, housing, and healthcare started driving people over the edge. And that’s the America we see today. One ripe for a conman to tell people how he’ll magically fix everything. But make no mistake, all this is a product of liberal politics working over many decades.
Trump is now begging NATO vassals to join in the war because the US is getting their ass kicked.
Yeah, I’d be curious to see how bad it is. If they can target them reliably, I think it’s only a matter of time till one gets shot down now.
