While you play with the language, Russia is making ground advances into Ukraine bout 8 times more than the Ukrainians are repelling the advances. There is even some talk going on among Ukrainian troops (about 50,000 of them) about switching sides.

I don't know what the final result will be, but right now it looks like Ukraine is totally lost... even with NATO help.

Note that the danger of nukes has been refuted by some of the scientists who worked on them, originally. One might still be able to find some of their talks on Youtube. If they are right, it's the hype about nukes that is dangerous... not the nukes themselves. After all, who out there has actually worked on the nukes that were tested in the past? Have they confirmed that nukes are actually dangerous? Or is it only talk that has been confirmed?... talk that can be easily manipulated. Doesn't seem to be any nation that is using nukes. Prove that they exist in a dangerous fashion.

The point is that the threat that Russia seems to be, is stalling the big talk by the West. Further, if the West has anything more than big talk, why aren't they simply taking Russia? Could it be that they are afraid that their big nuke talk will only prove to be talk?

Isn't it about time that you use your head a little, for something other than a hair rack (Are you balled?).

For the second time, Ukraine has managed to destroy 4 SU34 fighter/bombers on the ground. Quite a good strike, of the many to come until Ruzzia looses the whole ireplaceable fleet.

You have to read more carefully or you'll get a hopium overdose.

I have seen it being reported, but it mostly refers to air defence. I am not sure about Trump intentions but if he TACOs (Trump Always Chickens Out) from this one, China will be preparing the boats to Taiwan.

On the contrary - you are trying to infer from something that is not there. I know that the US is not supporting Ukraine is your wet dream, but that is NOT what is happening. Be careful with the hopium overdose.

RE poor souls, Ruzzia leaves no option to Ukrainians: fight for your country and ensure your children will have a life or let Moscow take over and be the meat for the invasion of Poland, Lithuania... Your perpetual call for a surrender is not an option and it has never been. The choice is to fight today or be filtered, exiled, killed or sent to the next Ruzzian war.

Trump had a call with Putin yesterday . He is now into Ruzzian diplomacy 201 and came out saying that he was unable to achieve anything. Putin has painted himself into a corner and he may not even be able to physically survive even a balanced peace.

This could be an misinterpretation from the media but if its not, this could be very important.
China doesn't say anything for the sake of saying, everything they do is strategic. They have said we are neutral for years and now a clear message that too while during a trade negotiation with Europe who has a similar but opposite stance that they could not accept Russia winning.

First things first: "The phrase "nations do not have permanent friends, only permanent interests" is a common idiom in international relations, often attributed to Lord Palmerston, a 19th-century British Prime Minister". But I reckon you got creative on that one.

As you got very creative when claiming that the US was withdrawing the support clinging to an article mentioning the pausing of certain help. But in both cases is time for you to come back to real life and face the fact that Ruzzia is going to be involved in the war for much much longer and is going to progressively being economically destroyed.

As advice, make sure you do not interpret future news with excessive optimism. Trump is a slow learner, but now has achived a pass grade on Ruzzian Diplomacy 101, and understands a bit better the difference between what Putin says, what Putin does and what happens in the real world of the war in Ukraine.

The simple answer is, and why paxmao can't understand it is, Russia operates on a completely different system than the West. The things that look like failure for Russia in Western eyes, are really great successes and powerful operations in Russian eyes.

If people don't stop looking at Russia through Western eyes, and start understanding Russia for what it is, they'll be dead before they know that Russia even hit them.

I have no reason to doubt that Nabulina said that. Once again, I don't believe anyone thinks that Russian economy can sustain current trend until the end of times. So no, and yes. I don't hide from questions, unlike you. But confirmation bias is only good for propaganda, what's important is to considering all other financial resources and avenues available to Russia, then after taking everything into consideration, estimating how much longer can Russia financially sustain the current rate of military expenditures? Will 5 years from now you still be saying how now Russia is about to default any day now because they took on too much debt and their debt to gdp is higher than Japan? Or will Russian economy give up 3yrs, 2yrs, 1yr, 6 month from now? Once one answers that question, the final and the most important step is to estimate how long can Ukrainian military continue to burn through their reserves to plug holes in order to sustain their current controlled retreat, before some front completely collapses? Thus the game is what will give out first. Plus don't forget that Russia is the one leading and setting the temp here, meaning they can always scale back launching expensive missiles, freeze or end the conflict completely at current lines whenever they wish. The fact that Russia continues to advance at their rate, implies that RU believes they have the resources to outlast Ukraine, where Ukraine's has no option but to react to RU's lead while pretending that everything is fine and just hope that Russia miscalculated.

Morale is one of, if not the most, important factors for the military. How do you think freezing some aid and than unfreezing some "defensive weapons, primarily" and saying Ukraine is "getting hit very hard" and "so many people are dying in that mess." for the second time, play on UA and RU morale? And do you really think that Trump is not realizing what he's doing? vs Biden's US is with UA for as long as it takes approach. Russian Ukrainian forces occupied retreated from 556 sq km of Ukrainian territory in June, marking the largest monthly figure in 2025.

My analysis regarding the position of the US on this is pretty spot on. Considering your analysis of the effects of the first packet of sanctions, second...17th, switchblades, HIMARS, M777, ATACMS, patriots, leopards, abrams, taurus, F16s, Russian grills on tanks, Russians on bikes/golf carts, etc etc etc... I believe I'm doing much better. Regarding Belgorod (guessing you mean Kursk?) I still stand by my position that it made no military sense, sure I underestimated the stupidity of UA politicians pushing their military for such much larger scale than what i've anticipated, but now UA is paying for it by having yet another active front and loosing more territory now in Sumy region. That is, now I can say that Ukraine won't attack Belarus because it would make no military sense as they cannot even hold current lines. Then if Ukrainian politicians with their infinite wisdom push Syrskyi to redirect troops from Donbas into Belarus, i would technically be wrong, but for such a hilarious boondoggle it would be totally worth it to be wrong there too.

People leave the country and die on both sides every day, you're just cherry picking, once again what's relevant is which side reaches their critical mass in any one category first.

Note that Russia shares quite a long border with several other nations thru Siberia. Russian ambasadors to those other nations can make many deals with those other nations. Until the US or somebody can stop those deals, BRICS will go on to a world split between the West and those other nations.

Since Western money is based on Western banking lies, and on things like inflation and creations of new money that harm their own citizens, the whole thing hangs on the people gradually moving into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

The West, for all their talk, is being beaten by the freedom of their people (who are waking up to the corrupt banking industry) on the one side, and BRICS on the other. Failure of the Western banking system will come about, even if the PEOPLE don't care much for things like Communism and dictatorial leanings of many of the BRICS nations.

The result will be the collapse of the Western banking systems. The people won't cause this to happen because they want to see Putin win. They will cause it to happen for their own success in their own countries. It will hurt them when BRICS wins, but in the long run they will be better off.

The 'S' in BRICS stands for South Africa, where Musk is from. And the things that Musk is doing in America will adversely affect the Western banking systems. But Musk just might be the one who saves the people of the West from their corrupt leaders and the corrupt Western banking systems. It will be a sudden thing when the banking systems collapse. Will the people be ready?

And Ukraine? It's the poor people in Ukraine who are suffering because they don't/didn't understand what is going on in the world. They believed the Zelensky lies, while they are suffering the deaths of over a million of their men. As the women and the kids wake up to this, whose side will they be on when it is time for them to attempt to pick up the pieces of their lives? The West is doomed because of their corrupt banking systems.
