You should be 'LOL'ing Wagner's infighting/blame game on its own military and shell starvation. Wagner egos were good when killing unarmed civilians all over Africa and thought this would be the same. They come against some resistance and all of a sudden they were expecting backing from a...
Exagerrating and fictionilizing like RT: the discussion on Iranians has nothing to do with disagreement on use of chemical weapons in Iran Iraq war. But if West was complicity in supplying dual use chemicals that may have allowed Iraq to manufacture. I haven't seen a single post saying the...
There have been a number of posts about how great Russian economy is doing vs EU.
EU didn't growth stayed positive. Russian's negative by 2-3 %.
Oil revenues collapsed by $400M a day compared to a year ago and will never go up. And it takes the $45-$50M / barrel that India/China use leverage...
Russia is absolutely winning. Victory will be like Afghanistan in 1979 where eventually ten years later it won and it continues to be an extension of Russia. Much like Ukraine, it too was an altruistic measure to help Russian speaking Afghans and to protect against Pakistan's encroachment on...
In the scenario that even if Putin reclaims what Russia had April of last year, where does it strategically land Russia and future prosperity. Its largest and most profitable customer is gone.
It will get squeezed by others as they will know Russia will sell for cheap. And green transition got...
I have no way of knowing if this is true and this could be as not credible as the twitter posts of how Russia is all victorious and Ukraine about to collapse (have been seeing those for a year).
I will probably discount most of these claims by 50% (it says 180K casualties)...
Thats a fair point. If Hizbollah only cares about what its in Lebanon vs. the destruction Israel has caused in the region, they can start with trash collection in the city, and containing inflation, and making sure people with money in the bank are allowed to withdraw their cash. Lebanon has...
Worse for Russia, surely yes, you are right. It will get plenty worse. US economy is humming, its jobs are growing. Let americans worry about themselves. You worry about your friends in russia and what awaits them EVEN if they take back part of Ukraine: they are effectively an path to being a...
For ONCE, and just this ONCE, I will agree that Putin has a picture of his manboobs on a horse, and Biden does not . So it means Putin can get on a horse without a shirt. He may have jumped out of an airplane once but he is running around like a rat on a train in his country so his movements are...
By this token, Pakistan should give KPP to Afghanistan or at least we should assume that if Afghanistan were to mount an invasion on KPP, it would be justified because of ethnic pashtuns.... or Spain (if it were capable) go and re-occupy Argentina.

WHile there is no way to verify claims of losses (for either side) and the daily movement of a relatively static battle line, one thing that can be quantified is the economic situation.
With no money, can't produce things and pay soldiers. This is battle of economies and seeing who outlasts...
I think Hezbollah should go all out and get Israel out of Golan. If these pictures were truly representative of Hezbollah victory, Golan should be back with Syria. Instead Hizbollah has sat on its side of its border and turned Lebanon single handedly into a 4th world country with no governance...
Some random guy on a youtube channel (which the cleaning person at our office can have access to) has more wisdom than the entire democratically elected Govt of the EU? Come on, give it a rest.
You take a guy with a european accent and then assume he speaks for everybody. AT LEAST pick somebody...
1. There is no way that Saudi Arabia is self-sufficient in Typhoons Tornados and F-15s. You can't even deploy a Typhoon squadron without the BAe equivalent of ALIS (its a computerized form of logistics system) of F-35. I don't know what the BAe one is referred to. This is needed to do the...
Thats what your best hope of Russian victory is that one President is older and may die? Thats the straw you are gasping for. Btw, he just had a clean physical
Sanctions have pushed Russia to sell Urals at an average price of $49.48 a barrel last month, a 41 per cent drop year on year and well below of the $70-a-barrel level assumed in Russia’s budget.

sorry to disappoint you but EU is going to manage to avoid a recession with a modest 0.8% growth. Germany being the economic powerhouse is also going to avoid it.
China is Germany's trading partner and with economy in China normalizing, Germany's trade with China's manufacturing industry is...
RSAF has been flying Typhoons, F-15s in air strikes plus with support from Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain F-16s and F-18s. These airplanes don't run on air. To fly and drop weapons , you need to replinish them. This is where US and UK (or rather the consortium that makes the Typhoon) have very much been...
France is very much part of Europe. The whole thing started with saying that Iran is supplying a warring party. I highlighted an example where a member of the EU did the same and there was no pressure on them from rest of EU not to.
That is all. The discussion is not about the entire continent...
