Harkster - do you really believe that 100,000 Russian troops have died, and yet only 17,000 Ukraine troops and civilians? Get your head out of your ass. Russia is not going to lose this war. Take a look at videos by Col. Douglas MacGregor. Russia has a constant supply of ammunition, rockets, missiles, (materiel in general). They are not going to lose. Secondly, the US does not have a dog in the fight, nor should we. Russia wants to get rid of all 30+ US funded bioweapon labs, and kill all the Nazis in Ukraine. We should not make this our problem. Next, Ukraine is in Russia’s back yard - not ours. They have the logistical advantage, not us. Anyone that thinks we should send Ukraine anything has not thought this through, and I have a bridge to sell you.
Hi Steve, while I agree and hope for a Russian success, I don't think it would be called a "Victory" by any standard. Ukraine's problem is with its leadership that is lacking wisdom and knowledge of history. One last remark if I may, I think we should be more kind in the way we exchange our opinions in this forum. Thanks to "The Morning Hark" for sharing his knowledge with us.
They take the word of newspapers because they somehow haven’t figured out our media is 100% nonsense.
Those numbers are hysterically and impossibly wrong, but I would be remiss if I didn’t also point out that MacGregor thought Russia would win in the first few weeks. This winter offensive they’re all calling hasn’t materialized (in fact, another southern Ukrainian offensive is looking likely).
I too think Russia wins this eventually because of natural advantages and the potent danger of losing at the forefront of their minds. A lot of the predictions, unfortunately, assumed the same Russian economy, but they’ve had to work out a lot of kinks to get manpower & supplies the war objectives really require (imports through Armenia, exports through China, mobilization, turning up war production, etc.). All of that was ignored by the opposite side.
You’re doing well as far as media intake, I can tell. Perhaps you should mix in a few Russian nationalists; like a devoted sports fan, they have enough passion to shout about the shortcomings and errors of the home team. Makes it easier to separate the truth from the Western propaganda when it comes to critiquing the Kremlin’s performance and potential here…

In closing, fuck Ukraine.
The early HOPE of 2023 is fading in the light of unending War in Ukraine
and unending Inflation.
Both could have been avoided or at least minimized, but the Policy mistakes
and arrogance of many US and European leader, have led us here.......
stick with finance
great write up as always
