They’re like a chained pitbull you have to point at the enemy and let them go, then run away and hope they cause as much damage as possible and none of it is to you.

Russia's top five in every major economic category, Actually their economy is kicking a** and the percent of g d p on the war is nil.

A month after launching the SMO the Ruble was up 45%.

I remember when the Russian government declared that all energy purchases had to be paid in the Russian currency. In an attempt to ridicule the Russian government the news anchor on Norwegian public television said: "..., but there aren't that many Rubles in circulation."

That begs the following supply and demand question: What happens to something that has a limited supply and an unlimited demand?

Why, it skyrockets in price, of course.

Which again begs the other supply and demand question: What happens to something with unlimited supply that has a declining demand like the US Dollar?

How is it doing now?

Not so well.

Russia has been invaded this year twice. Putins the first Russian dictator to ever have that happen.

Belgorod held a referendum and wants to become independent. To stop it’s warmongering ways it needs to cede belgorod and Kursk oblast for peace.

They also don’t forget how we have been stopping them from conquering free people like their former colonies.

They don’t like that at all.

“I can’t invade any genocide my neighbors!!? This is outrageous!”

You really have no idea on the negative impact on Russia economy.

You are merely repeating limp Putinoid propaganda.

OK, keep saying that. The only one you're convincing is yourself. Have fun mentally going in circles.

Russia can’t even beat Ukraine

If you want a city devastated, large amounts of war crimes, mass graves of civilians, blown up apartments, and stolen toilets and alcohol yes.

Russia is on day 467 of its 3 day war and still no end in sight. The terror bombing isn’t working and Ukraine just launched some more probing attacks that are breaking through the Russian lines

We did beat Korea.

Look at north and South Korea. There is a massive difference.

53k American lives saved a nation and today they are still grateful and help us out a lot

If that's what you consider winning, good luck. Noticed you didn't mention Vietnam who whipped our ass, kicked us out and NOW is a major trading partner. You guys have no clue what these war games are really about and thus are just part of the pogrom that killed millions of Vietnamese and God knows how many Ukrainians will die because of the pogrom proxy war you love to support. I seriously doubt you even have the capacity to wake up.

If we didn’t support Ukraine millions of Ukrainians would die again, just like 1932-33. The Ukrainians want to keep their sovereignty and nation and not be erased from the earth by a madman.

Surrendering makes folks safer? Interesting.

Maybe we should just cut a deal with Biden. He will honor this agreement. Right?

You already work for Biden. But frankly, I don't have much stock in your ability to see the future. Sorry

There are a bunch of people here who work for Biden. A lot of fed employees came here for relief and help

When the mandates came down.

And guess what?

He’s your president and you pay taxes to

Him.
