1stGenAmerican have you noticed that US sanctions are now UTTERLY USELESS?

The once great empire is now a clown state
Succinctly put. Bridges and roads are collapsing in the US while the heavily sanctioned Russia is building the best even in time of war. cool

The US is only the greatest today by the sheer force of the Dollar and military budget. Nothing more. cool

Bob It's not about having 300 years headstart over Nigeria. It about the foundation upon which a country is built and the leadership as well.
UAE never had even 50 years headstart, like China, Malaysia, India e.t.c
Nigerias problem is religion, tribalism, ethnic bigotry and bad leadership.
The country is built upon a very faulty foundation.
And to make matters worse, it operate a very faulty constitution that is an aberration to a multi-ethnic and tribal society.

Imagine! They have to come out with this bullshiit that a Pro-Ukrainian group did it when we know that no single such group have that capability. The sudden rise in the numbers of events involving train derailment and chemical factory leaks and explosions in the US has not gone unnoticed by some heads in Washington so they are desperately trying to wash their hands off knowing that the Russians revenge is always at the corner though they can't prove the Russians have started already.

This is funny. cool

In the 🇷🇺 DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions in 2023, they plan to restore more than 2,800 apartment buildings.

This was announced by the Deputy Prime Minister of the 🇷🇺 Russian Federation Khusnullin.

He also added that another 47 high-rise buildings will be built in Mariupol, Volnovakha and Alchevsk.

This is more than 🇺🇦 Ukraine has built in these regions in 30 years.
Whoever cursed Nigeria will never be at peace. This is a country at war yet building new infrastructures left and right, commissioning the world's best longest underground metro system. I didn't my heart in respect.

A mysterious shadowy fleet is helping 🇷🇺 Russia ship oil around the world. And it’s growing

🇷🇺 Russian oil is still finding its way to buyers around the world. But even those who spend their days tracking its movement across oceans struggle to work out exactly who is ferrying it.

As Western sanctions against Russia have escalated over its invasion of Ukraine, more ships have joined an existing fleet of mysterious tankers, ready to facilitate Russia's oil exports - CNN

The 🇷🇺 Russian army now controls 84,630 square kilometers of the territory of 🇺🇦 Ukraine, equal to 14.02% of Ukraine, a year after launching a special military operation against NATO in 🇺🇦 Ukraine.

By comparison, the territories controlled by Russian forces in one year in 🇺🇦 Ukraine is equal to the territory of 4 European countries together: 🇧🇪 Belgium, 🇦🇱 Albania, 🇱🇺 Luxembourg and 🇲🇪 Montenegro.

New start treaty was not between US and old Soviet Union but rather between US and Russia itself. Signed by Obama and Medvedev in 2010

And it was not to bar the range of nukes, because you can’t cap the range of an ICBM. Rather to reduce the number of strategic deployed nuke capable ICBM.

I understand the achievement Russia is gaining by day in Ukraine: advancement of Ukrainian forces; the death of Russian forces; the thrashing economy of Russia; the NATO having a sense of purpose; the isolation of Russia; Russia losing its biggest customers: EU and I can go on and on.

Forget about your emotions and see reality.
Ukraine forces advancing to where? They're taking a beating like mad. NATO is in disarray; ask Croatia, Bulgaria, Italy, Turkey, and Hungary vis-a-vis Ukraine. Russia economy grows and is forecasted by the world bank to grow beyond expectations this year, so much for sanctions and "thrashed economy". But same cannot be said about the likes of the UK and the EU whose economy is experiencing one of the worst debacles of their modern history. From eggs to baby foods, scarcity and soaring prices continue to escalate. Now, the US just said it might default on its massive debt this year.

Russia is only isolated in the myopic view lens of your emotional perceptions. From Africa to Asia to Latin America, and the Middle East, nations wants to be friends with Russia and many are doing business, striking new deals with Russia.

Brother, when you're big, you're big. Russia is too big to be ignored and too powerful to fail economically and militarily in this modern times of technology.

The total strength of the LPR & DPR militias was around 15k as at Feb, 2022. You can check BBC or CNN for confirmation. The troops Russia deployed at the initial stage was less than 200k.

In war you don't deploy your entire troops to the frontline. Let me do the analysis for you.

The entire Russian troops of 200k were not deployed to the frontline. Only about 1/3 of the 200k were deployed to frontline. The rest (2/3) were in charge of logistics, manning of the supply line (the bigger the conflict zone, the longer the supply line), sappers (the group that diffuse mine), medical unit e.t.c. So the bulk of the bulk of the 200k were far away from the frontline.
You have patient educating that brother. cool He pisses me off with his fake prophecies. cheesy

Ask him how many 🛰 satellites did Iraq or Afghanistan have to locate US troops. None

How about precision missiles? Did they even have enough tanks and APCS? All they had were rusty AK-7's, machine guns and RPG's.

The US fought goat herders in the middle east. Ukraine on the other hand is the real war.

Btw we're on the same page Appleyard. I agree with you.
So much misinformation about this ongoing Ukraine war. I find it difficult to even reply some of the propagandized minds here.

For instance, here is what the current death toll on both sides looks like according to reputable sources:


KIA totals.
Current Russian losses (RF, LPR, DPR, Wagner, Chechens), by source:

◾️Medusa: 14,000 KIA

◾️BBC: 12,000 KIA confirmed, possibly as high as 20,000 KIA

◾️Mossad: 18,850 KIA

🟥 Current Kiev regime losses:

◾️Col. Douglas Macgregor: 157,000 KIA

◾️Mossad: 157,000 KIA
Ete not forget what Ursula said about Ukrainian KIA.

Yet, some folks on these forum still think Russia has lost more than Ukraine, and is currently losing the conflict. That's how you know the effect of propaganda. I feel sorry for a lot of them here.
