We are all going to die. So if you don't have anything good to say about the dead. Just keep quiet and type nothing.

So now war victory is determined by hardware captured and not cities conquered. Nice one! It's a great medal award for the war.
The celebration of Russian Victory Day takes place on May 9, not on any other date.

It is understandable though. The Western media calls Russia ‘Nigeria with gas’. So if you don't do your findings, you will believe them.

During a Phone Call tonight by U.S. President Biden with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Biden reportedly said that Israel should consider tonight’s Iranian Attack as Largely Unsuccessful and a “Win” due to nothing of Value appearing to have been Lost and it being a Clear Demonstration of Israel’s Superior Military Capability.
Also during the Call, President Biden is reported to have said that the United States would not Participate in any Offensive Action against Iran.

Well, I don’t believe any USA president.

Waiting for Trump, republican senators and representatives to talk this morning how Biden and Democrats are too weak to rule USA and Iran dare not try it if Republican person was the president.

This is Cinema
Trump is the only American president in history who is not interested in war.

Iran is currently safe from a ground invasion due to its immunity. This immunity is due to the fact that the countries sharing borders with Iran, including Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, and Iraq, will not allow the US or Israel to use their territories for an invasion.

Furthermore, Israel lacks the military capability to invade Iran. It lacks the necessary ground troops and logistics for such an offensive. Israel is neither a regional nor a superpower, therefore, it cannot replicate what Russia did in Syria or what the US did in Afghanistan and Iraq. While the US can invade Iran, Iran's militerary strength is formidable and would discourage any superpower from even considering an invasion.

In order for the US to invade a country, it first needs to ensure that the country is weakened and defeated by launching an attack. This can be achieved by implementing certain measures, such as imposing economic sanctions on the country to prevent it from funding the war effort. However, countries like Russia and China, particularly those in the global south, may not permit the US to harm Iran economically and may even fight for Iran in the UN. Another way to weaken a country is to prevent it from acquiring new weapons. Iran produces weapons that are essential for its self-defense, such as drones and missiles.

Russia is running out of money for a rainy day

Meanwhile, in almost 2 years of full-scale war, Russia has spent half of the money from the National Welfare Fund (NWF), the main source of resources for a rainy day. By the end of 2023, almost 4 trillion rubles were spent from the NWF, and now only 5 trillion remain in its so-called liquid part (savings in foreign currency and gold that can be easily spent if necessary).
Time will tell.

It is an accomplishment because the Western media portrays these weapons as wonder weapons.

Get the opinions of major news outlets like New York Times, CNN, and BBC on the topic of these weapons. You will understand better.

This is a modern warfare. There is no wonder weapon.

❗️The Houthi movement has attacked the German frigate Hessen in the Red Sea for the first time, according to German Defence Minister Pistorius.

According to dpa, the frigate successfully hit the two drones that attacked it.

Pistorius said the Hessen was carrying out "the most dangerous mission in decades".

The Houthis have previously targeted civilian vessels.

@ukraine_watch
Those who believe that Western weapons are invincible are mistaken. If the Houthis were armed the same way as the Ukrainians, they could sink Western warships.

The West is experiencing a fraction of what Russia faces in Europe.

How yall doing, i just want to say that the west is scared shitless by the word russia, Since the cold war (probably after ww2). This has caused it to turn to military power addict over the years. Lets remember what happened before the war when russia begun its training in cimera. The west threatened hell on russia by military action. Mumu zelensky dey happy dey puff up, RUSSIA attacked, and since then up till now the west has been too scared to confront russia directly.
Russia invested in its military for two reasons: to protect itself from external aggression and to prevent disintegration due to religious and cultural differences.

People often remark how a small and ordinary country like Ukraine is giving Russia a tough time. They even say that a country without a navy is capable of destroying Russian ships. However, what many people do not realize is that Ukraine is only able to stand up to Russia today because of the support it has received from the West. This support includes not only weapons, but also the welfare of the troops, salaries for both the troops and government workers, as well as economic and military assistance.

Despite all their effort, Russia is pressing forward.
The massive support of Ukraine is a big surprise to many people including the Russians. They did not see it coming.A country like Germany sacrificed its economic prosperity for Russia to be defeated.

I strongly believe that they are not interested in Ukraine, but rather fulfilling the United States' goal of removing Russia from the league of superpowers..

It is now clear that Ukraine will eventually fall, which is why Macron is talking about NATO intervention. However, I doubt whether NATO has the courage to officially send troops to help Ukraine.
Foreign AffairsRe: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by olugabbie(m): 9:26am On Feb 26, 2024
The Ukrainians have a strong interest in acquiring Western weaponry, as they believe it is superior to Russian weapons and would make a difference on the battlefield. However, the reality is that Russia possesses every weapon that the West could provide to Kiev. As a result, the Ukrainians have come to realize that Western tanks, military vehicles, and weapons such as HIMARS and Storm Shadow will not change the course of the war. Therefore, they are now considering the possibility of trying out the Western fighter jet, the F-16.

The sooner they realize that Russia will never back down, and its troops will never be on the back foot again, the better.

NATO's war game is a disaster already as the UK trying to project a strong military force, but their pieces of equipment (Navy assets especially ) are failing them.

The UK has become a subject of ridicule by committing to a show of force that it is not prepared for.

None of NATO's members can challenge Russia alone. However, they can provoke Russia while hiding behind NATO.

For those who still doubt Russia's strength or its deserving of the second-strongest military in the world, they should review the military of each NATO member.

what/who is your source?
Ukraine joining NATO is not a major problem for Russia, although it is hard to see your neighbor form a military alliance with your enemy/enemies. But the major concern of Russia is the US. The US started by deploying Nuclear weapons to Turkey. Later they deployed nuclear weapons to Belgium, Germany, Italy & Netherlands.

The fear of having a US nuke in Ukraine is what the Russians don't want and they will do everything to avoid it.

The fear of being surrounded is another reason for the Russian rejection of Ukraine's NATO bid. Imagine if Russia is surrounded and NATO denies Russia passage to their waters etc. Or stop Russia from using her air space. Russia wlll become weak and they will be forced to abide by NATO rules and regulations.

Isolation and placing of NUKE close to Russia is what the Russians are fightibg against and they will fight to the end.

yeah they currently dont have silos and launchers, but sometime ago (post ww2) they had a few bombs and warheads but most where disarmed due to anti-nuclear reforms then; US had up to 30k but they now have 5k or so. Russia had like 11k now they have 5k.
The US has 14 nuclear-powered ballistic submarines, not 30.

The US and it allies are not interested in protecting anyone. They are only interested in POWER & influence. They want to control everything.

Iran has one of the best military in that region in terms of everything but they will never be same pair with Isreali military until Iran has nukes also.

If the Russian military did not have nukes, NATO would have bombed the shit out of Russia, same way they have been doing for years, just like they did in other countries.
The only reason Russia was able to defend the Syrian government without fearing anyone is because everyone knew Russia have nukes to defend itself.

Russia's military is respected due to its nukes, and the same reason everyone is afraid of USA, is because the USA have used it before and they are not afraid to use it again.

The USA claimed Saddam have weapon of WMD and they invaded Iraq but same weapons have been displaying everyday by North Korea but yet the USA couldn't invade because she knew NK had those nukes while Iraq never had nukes.
Just look at China after they tested their first nuke, the respect comes automatically with nukes.

Gadafii will still be alive today, if only if he had kept his nuke programs working and never stopped it.

Imagine confirmed news that Lebanon Hezbollah military has tested nukes, watch how Israeli and USA military will quickly talk about peace and Isreali military will stop using Lebanon airspace again

Nukes is the ultimate from boys to Men.
Everyone claimed they have those nukes for deterrence's sake.
Nukes creates fear and fear creates respect, if you like that country or not.
Iran does not has NUKE. Why has the US not bombed the country. If you have a very strong military, nobody will mess with you.

NATO will dare not attack Russia, even if it doesn't have NUKE. Russia don't need nuclear weapon to attack the countries under NATO.

You forget to tell us Red army was in Berlin in 1945 and also Paris in 1814... No be to first do, you fit withstand the counter?? shocked
Russia going on an offensive against NATO is a suicide mission. She will need millions of soldiers and thousands of military equipments which in my view will be difficult to get.

But Russia has the capacity to defend itself against NATO conventionally. Russian fire power and population will make any invasion of Russia costly for any invaders.
