no one is saying they are not taking casualties. they are the underdog here, everyone expects Russia to overrun them but that's not the case. Russians are losing personnel and equipments
What I hate is the media reporting. Russia has conceded they have had some heavy casualties.what about Ukraine. You cant have soldiers killed without your side killing a few or more. As it is russia controls quite some large swarthes of Ukraine. That would mean they have killed more Ukrainians than media is reporting.

I hope you get my point.
What are Ukrainian casualties.

Ukraine report their casualties too. they may downplay it but often time their reporting is true. for example the shelling of the military base where soldiers train.

Ukraine is not going to fight Russia on a battlefield, they are ambushing them. most times they let them take a region, then slowly ambush them.

you have to ask yourself why russia cant advance into key areas or even take kiev?

Those guys think economics happens in a week.

Rouble performance since 2014 is equivalent to Naira decline - lost 2/3rd of it's value

If only they knew how much Russian central bank is spending daily to buy Roubles to support the price over the last week, and how they plan to keep it up.
come and embarrass yourself for us. we are talking about ruble just before the war till the day you they talk about 2014. the timeline is from feb14th 2022, not 2014.

explain to us the ruble Feb this year and the ruble now.

Russia has killed more Ukraine soldiers than is being reported. you cant hold territory after fights if you are not the better fighter.
My analysis is that Russia wants to kill off opposition plus get NATO off Ukraine. Objective largely achieved so Russia dont need Kiev.
They will go to the east. Ukraine with Western help have held their own too.
Russia does not fight soft wars. they rain down bombs and artillery then move in massively.
Different this time. Putin wanted to disarm Ukraine. And crush their military.
OK Ben. In a war truth is the first casualty.russia has heavy power. Ukraine is begging for hand held missiles to take out 50 ton monster tanks

before the war it was 75 rubles to a dollar, today it's 81 rubles to a dollar. wheti you know about economics? you are embarrassed about what?
How long before the war, Ben? And was that not to be expected as Russia rushed to convert as much dollar as it owned into Rubles? That's what the spike from late 2021 was.

I'm sure you've heard the conspiracy that Putin began planning his Ukraine invasion as soon as he knew he'd be dealing with Biden.

Russia is tying its oil and Gas to its own currency giving it a boost. I hope it is a short-term recovery, I want them to crash but there is no denying the state of the ruble.

he cannot disarm Ukraine, he does not have air superiority, land, or sea. the Ukrainians have NATO weapons specifically designed for Russia. the javelins and the NLAW with loads of MANPAD. Russians are struggling. these are known facts. a month plus after the war starts they still can't get into kiev

Increase in the price of oil and gas is precisely what is appreciating the ruble, but they are currently facing problems selling it, which will impact the ruble.

They can't keep selling at a discount or get away with hiding who they selling to for too long.

Sanctions have been in place since 2014. The war sanctions will be felt for a long time. Russian CBN is blowing money to keep it up for window dressing purposes but not sustainable

after the sanctions in 2014, there was a new normal for the ruble. the Normal is pre-invasion. i honestly want Russia to crumble but let's say things the way they are, this is no longer 1991. they are not even too serious about the sanctions, even the US imposing was still pumping cash into the Russian economy.

this has always been the case. it does not affect the fact that after the west sanctioned Russia, their currency still rebound.

All those leaders who refuse to take a strong stance against Russia will be served their heads in losses at their next elections, Ben. Summer soon come here in UK, and youths need a reason to be out demonstrating on the streets, and Save Ukraine sounds much less selfish than Brandon's Inflation, in my opinion.

Sanctions take time. Besides, Europe needs to stress test winter with no Russian gas before it sanctions Russian gas - they are cautious like that.

January. Or Putin backed down. Third option is, Putin is mad.
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by AmazonTopaz(f): 11:33pm On Apr 04, 2022
Senator Lisa Murkowski is a yes.

That makes it two GQP votes in favour this saving Kamala Harris the stress of coming to break a tie.

That's why sanctions will be ramped up against buyers if and once they are in a position to not be hypocrites. You can't be buying Russian gas or fertilisers and be telling others not to buy what they want especially when Russia is selling at a discount.

Watch out for a nuclear agreement with Iran in a year or two, especially if we face a recession plus inflation and high oil prices. That will immediately tank oil prices and Russia.

We know Democrats lie with everything the same way they claimed a Bill that didnt mention the word gay is a Dont say Gay bill. When they can't run on their records they lie, create a false narrative and run with it. We are still waiting for where Florida laws said "Don't say gay"

Now we will ask you to post the official document from the bill and where is opens the gate for child marriages

You are right here. However this war crimes narrative may push the narrative back in favour of strong action

The EU did a review and said cutting Russia off completely will cost them 3-4% of GDP but will cost Russia 30-40%. The problem is in a democracy, 3-4% can cost you election while an autocrat can take 30-40% hit and keep going. But the war crimes narrative may harden hearts to take the pain, make we dey watch
