Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[vizier]

Does Veto power or UN even matter when US is aggressor? . Now Russia is following US footsteps .enjoy because its fair game now

It doesnt matter currently because of unipolar economic order with dollar at the center of it but Un if modified to work correctly should consider the economic hegemony of Usa as well. Other currencies should not be discouraged in inter country trade like Yuan etc. even encouraged. Dollar as the single inter-country trade will always shift the balance towards Usa in every Un decision and without any economic backlash. Iraq also didnt get much outside help. This conflict also showed that in any future scenario attacking party would have difficulties even if it is Usa because of atgms, manpads, mini-less detectable attack drones(TB2), possibly kamikaze drones-mini cruise missiles to attack static positions which is very easy to deliver.

A more appropriate term is Crusaders.

Think of this war as the modern version of the northern Crusade.

True...

You can always volunteer for Ukraine. You seem much tougher than those ex US soldiers who ran away. You're from the internet after all.

I am too rich to die. There is no need anyway. Ukraine is not my country. They are living on lands stolen from Muslims. There are 450 million people in the EU that will finance this and go fight as they know that their freedom depends on russia being destroyed.

Also, I, like trump has a bone in my foot and military wont take me.

He was shot dead by the ukr. military. They thought he was a russian spy.

Btw: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Seems like the US awacs non stop circling over poland failed completely to warn the ukr. side about this incoming missile attack from russian jets. I am curious about the weapons the russians used here. Maybe some Kh-35 aka SS-N-25 in the air to ground variant. But looking at one of the huge craters, i think of something like Kh-101 too. It has a huge warhead and is stealthy ...

Ive been reading Russian forums, and the general gist of what si being said is this:

1) Sanctions are a joke. it is not affecting russia. Al goods are im stock. only type of oil that has increased on price is olive oil and its 4 times more expensive. Otherwise all sanctions will hit the west much more than they will hit russia.

2) russia has run out of the Kalibir missile but they are woking in 3 shifts to produce more.

3) a certain type of gas (neon?) that only russia and Ukraine have is necessary for the electronics and microprocessor industry to function.

4) Chechens are a joke and PR stunt. "our boys" are dying and Chechens are taking pictures of their beards in the back. Chechens are useless fighters since they were so easily defeated by the mighty Russians.

5) There should be no ukrianian army, and russia should not leave until they only have police with handguns.

6) Ukranians should accept being a part of the Russian empire. How can English have Scotland and Irish people in their empire but Russians cant even have ukranians? Ukranisn dont have to like it, just as the Scots dont like England. But they will get used to it.

7) the west is shocked at the level of efficiency and strength of the Russian army.

So, there, this is what's going on in the Russian mind at least as expressed in certain Russian language forums.

They are completely delusional.

They are completely delusional.

I have to agree

This! Why no one is saying that Ukraine is largest provider of neon gas? If russia occupy ukraine not only west will be dependent on its oil, gas but also neon!

The largest provider of a product does not mean the only provider of that product. If the largest provider is impaired for whatever reason, other providers will increase their output to try to meet demands.

Did you know that the US SR-71 was built with Soviet titanium? Lockheed is a famous weapons company in the US and the Soviet Union was the world's highest, not the only, output source of titanium. If Lockheed openly went to the Soviet Union to buy titanium, the Soviet would suspect something new in US aviation. Lockheed cannot afford that. So Lockheed created shell companies to buy as much titanium as possible from the Soviet Union to meet deadline.

Assuming that the neon gas story is true. Russia has to sell. The economic damages inflicted on Russia is just as terrible as the physical damages Russia is inflicting on Ukraine. The Ukrainians must fight. Russia must sell.

It would be a wise decision for all those foreign mercenaries to hear their govt's advice and stay back home. They are not up against Afghanistan or Iraq where they march on completely destroyed cities and armies. Neither is it a computer game where a "reset button" will give them another life.

Here they are up against an actual military force. US/UK/European govts are right to discourage them from joining.

Do something useful with your lives and help people back home who are in need instead.

US and co should be worried about No.1 because this means their Sanctions are not working,
