Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

Yes good time to buy shares of weapons makers

Russians must ask themselves the question why they can no longer influence even the small border countries , the method of force no longer works, it is soft power and money that matters now , the US does not even need to ask the eastern countries to join NATO, they are the ones who do it of their own free will.
Russia has the potential to become N1 in the economy and have an influence as great as the US, They have insane potential but a Third World mentality. Yet they have brains, good scientists, economists, men of culture, etc., everything needed to develop this vast territory.

You have perspective and wisdom, my friend. Appreciated.

Post more.

its simple: they dont care. they used ukraine as cannon fodder, they pumped them up, used ukraine to degrade russian military economic capability, caused death and destruction in ukraine and as you said, are now shedding crocodile tears.

its all going according to plan for US and NATO

The best part is that the US is getting all new SIGINT and HUMINT on Russian capabilities, war production and tactics and updating their war game data; all free of cost at the expense of Ukraine and Russia.
Cheeky b******* these Americans.

We won't be defeated period.

The post war order is coming to an end. Yesterday's sureties doesn't look so solid any more.
Pray that Russians don't get pissed enough with your shenanigans in Ukraine that they give a green light to the Iranians.

Pakistan is not an ally fo the US. Never was and will not be. They found you useful in the Cold War, they found you useful in 2001. They wouldn't even sell you F16 in the 1990's after you paid for them. Sorry if you thought US was your ally. You were mistaken.

US does not have any Arab allies either. it only has puppets. The only country that is muslim that is a US ally is Albania and Turkey. Both treaty allies. They rest are all puppets or enemies.

What about when pakistan was member of SEATO & CENTO. What happened in 71?

But yes, you are right. For west Muslim blood is cheap.

You should ask your NATO governments whose leaders of the same age as Putin why they send the same age soldiers to fight in faraway countries for nothing more reason than to maintain Capitalist imperialism in the world. The common soldier in NATO militaries should rebel against their governments and overthrow the Capitalist dictatorial form of governments their countries have.

Have to look out for these 230 Million first mate. What can i say. There is so much going on in the world. We are not in a situation to loose the small export base we have.
I totally support the opressed againat the opressors. But Too many factors that can rip apart the fragile balance of my country even if people dont realise here. No thanks to becoming Syria , Iraq , Afghanistan or Lybia. Yes i am selfish in this regard.
We are a poor third world country and we have to do whatever it takes for survival. It is what it is.

Before 1947 your current country, same as mine, was a bunch of monarchic and feudal lands ruled by the British. The Nation State is a concept that came about through the French revolution and is as artificial as the concept of monarchy and feudalism. Why should the sufferings of your country people be any more saddening than the sufferings of any other country whose enclosing borders are as non-natural than the borders that enclose your country ? What is natural is the human'ness that you share with the person in another country. Isn't that enough to be empathetic to them ? Late last year there was a PDF thread about two young men in Pakistan who suicided in two separate shopping malls by jumping off the higher floors. They suicided because they had become unemployed, and rat-race employment in their surrounding anti-human and irrational socio-economic system was their own source of maintaining themselves and their family. Any progressive person, including a Communist like me, in any part of the world will empathize with their cases and will speak for a rational, empathetic and scientific socio-economic system in Pakistan.

instead of wasting time over Kiev , capture the damn border

They're actually slicing off border territories and cutting Ukraine off from the Sea. Capturing Kiev isn't the objective duh.

Well many Russian banks are about to be cut out of SWIFT, which will impact imports and exports.

Oil and gas prices are about to soar. (Would be a good time for Gulf countries to work with Iraq to lay a pipeline from them to the Turkish pipeline network connected to Europe.

But also, wheat prices (Russia supplies 18% of world supply) and all the downstream industries connected to it will be effected, especially in developing countries. Russia also exports a lot of fertilizer (20% of world supply), so agricultural production around the world could drop severely. Investments need to be done to raise agricultural productivity around the world to minimize the impact of the food cutoff, or else we could see massive famine around the world.

There won't be any disruption apart from the Natoland.
The rest of the world will continue to trade with Russia, bypassing the dollar system.

[kingQamaR]

How's it looking bad for Putin cos of twitter users ?

Russia is even going to destroy China's economy because people are going to stop buying from you . Factories need buyers your leader is wise kept his mouth shut

 

[Suriya]

Now, look at what I see. United States need India more than India need them.

Yes, no doubt about it. United States needs India when it comes to Indo-pacific.
The whole world need India when it comes dealing with a belligerent China.
India will become a near equal to China in coming decades.

Well, they are both tyrannies, really. It is just that America is much less direct and more polite about it.

exactly, corporations and old senators from entrenched families direct USA's policies.

Can you explain what dreadful future you mean?

a major war in Europe that could end in nuclear confrontation

The Situation was:

(1) The most colossal, brutal and deadly military empire the face of the earth has ever known, which in recent years has unscrupulously sent 3-4 million to hell and displaced several million from their homes, or directly or subcontracted chaos, terror and destruction

(2) With an imperial oligarchy that suffers from a rabid, deep, pathological and incurable Russophobia, which permeates everything from top to bottom

(3) An unstoppable trend of encircling, threatening and harassing Russia, and

(4) More than 20 years of unsuccessfully trying to communicate with a bunch of narcissists, cynics, rabid ideological fanatics and little children trapped in delusional fantasies. This complete inability to communicate is frightening. Their interests, desires and even their ultimate sentimental and/or cultural whims are sacred. And the interests and lives of others are worthless

If, for example, 1000 shells a day fall on the Russians in the Don ... The West shrugs its shoulders, and so on. If they are reminded of past promises ... the secretary of state literally shrugged his shoulders in front of minister Lavrov and said "... are/were words", and only failed to add: and we use words to deceive, that's why the Russians tired of lies and deception wanted a written agreement

The Russian ruling class with its grave, unpleasant and rational decision has broken a trend that was inexorably on a "collision course" as we sailors say. It was either war now or a worse war in the future.
