Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[nang2]

Seriously, brother. A month ago, all Chinese economists did not expect European funds to come to China, not USA. They predicted that USA would use the war to raise interest rates to allow European funds to flow to USA.
And the damage of this war to B&R is obvious.
So at first, we all thought that this war would only bring trouble to China's economy.

That part is obvious since neither Germany nor France is very reluctant to provoke Russia into a war.

Why is Ukraine not fighting back? What happened to the S-300s?

Exactly. That is when wars happen

No. People initiate wars NOT to make everything collapse. That would be suicidal. Most warmongers are very smart and keen for self-preservation. Certainly not suicidal. War is a tool to get something, not to ruin everything.

Another viral video claiming to show Russian military paratroopers landing in Ukraine first appeared online in 2016.

If only it was that easy, but it's not. I've already explained my stances, no need for me to repeat myself.

By the way, lost soldiers and hardware are hard to replace, both of which Russia has lost.

You think you're being nuanced, but I don't think you are. I think we can both agree that Russia will lose hardware and men. We can also agree that Russia included prospective losses in its wargaming and, more importantly, long-term grand strategy before engaging in this conflict and found the payoffs/costs justifiable given their regional security goals.

Crucially, there must be a quantitative threshold after which such losses become significant enough for your theory to kick in. Time will tell whether Russia's losses cross that threshold or not. Perhaps we can devote our time (on this thread, which is more about updates) to more constructive, current discussions. Thanks.

No. People initiate wars NOT to make everything collapse. That would be suicidal. Most warmongers are very smart and keen for self-preservation. Certainly not suicidal. War is a tool to get something, not to ruin everything.

Exactly. Most people have never studied realism or grand strategy formally, so they have no clue what they are talking about.

Civilian casualties are sad, just seen a video a Russian missile killing a small Ukrainian girl riding her bike, I’m not going to share the video, gut wrenching video.

In another word, he is liberating Russians in Ukraine. That probably means the end of the war would be along Dnieper river.

No it is not.
