A single cruise missile costs almost $2 million per unit. What Russia has done today is wasting its assets and this was likely expected by the Ukrainian government.
Russia has the resources and manpower to keep draining the West for 50 years.

Lol, what do you mean?
Russia has the resources/raw material to create and produce it's weapons in abundance.
It also doesn't depend on migration from developing countries for labour, Russians are hardworking people.
The damages inflicted by Russia also comes at a cost.
Mr accountant general, how much does it cost to repair the damage inflicted by Russia on Nazi Ukraine?
Also, the weapons and ammunitions expended by Ukraine, how much do they cost? Are they free?
Basically, Russia is draining the West.
Russia has the resources and manpower to keep draining the West for 50 years while the West can't survive 7 years.
If Russia had reduced the DPR, LPR and co to rubble when they were getting liberated, now that they're Russian territories, Russia would have had to repair those damages at a cost.
Read in between the lines and relax.

in all of this,biden's foreign policies have been disastrous. For a long time politician,he seems rather naive and clueless.
the democrats inspired war with russia was very unneccessary. The taiwan visit that has compleatly ruined any kind of relationship with china was also very stupid.
now neutral countries are beging to evaluate their relationship with the usa and are slowly pivoting to the east.(even traditional allies too).he is slowly losing the middle east too(the opec drama).it has gotton so bad now that even india is slowly moving away from the usa and are even willing to mend their relationship with china just to move away from the west.
in south america,it is the same story.brazil and argentina are almost going full blown russian mode.
in africa,he has lost influnce in the horn of africa.many west african states are dishing france for russia.terrible president. Tomorrow the ruler of the uae (usa alley) will be visiting russia.

Germany sought to conquer Russia during WW2 because Germany is a barren land and needed raw materials to produce it's weapons.
Raw materials that are in abundance in Russia.
The lack of raw materials/resources cost Germany the war. They lost due to logistical problems.

Germany is not a barren land.point of correction!
Hitler and Napoleon lost their wars in Russia because they erroneously under estimated and miscalculated the issues at hand and what is required to win a war in the kind of Russian climate,terrain and conditions!

That there are raw materials in Russia does not automatically means it has resources to fund a war with the west long term!that is why Russia has been categorical saying it will escalate to nuclear warfare if that should result

We both have different definitions of barren.
Germany is a barren land, the lack of resources (oil, metal etc) and the weather cost Germany the war in ww2.
I already mentioned it, I won't be reeducated by random people with a distorted version of history.
The aforementioned resources are in abundance in Russia, Russia can keep draining the West for as long as it takes.

russia has the capacity to wage this war for as long as they deem fit. As long as oil and gas is still flowing in russia then ukraine should not expect any kind of withdrawal by the russians.

What's powerful about Russia? Not its military, not its economy, not its education.
Putin needed to be put in his place and I'm glad it's finally happening.

Russian economy is well integrated into the world economy. It can not be isolated. Russia is the world energy super power. If the Russian economy is not strong, the country would have collapsed under the harsh sanctions.

Russia is a developed country. Kindly Google what qualify a country as DEVELOPED to answer the question surrounding Russian educational system.

Russia military remains the 2nd strongest military in the world. The strength of a country military is not based on winning wars. If you have a military that can protect your country from any external aggression or that has the capacity to challenge adversaries irrespective of their strengths (US & NATO), then your military is very strong.

You can qualify a country as a military super power if such country has the capacity to do the follow:

1. Wage war without any external help. Which is what Russia is doing in Ukraine. Although, they bought drones from Iran. They don't have huge stockpile of drone. They started their military drone project in 2019. They will definitely invest heavily in the project after the war.

2. The country must have enough oil reserve to wage war. Tanks, military vehicles, aircrafts e.t.c all run on fuel. A super power must has unlimited access to oil to fuel the war. Country like China may not be able to wage a prolong war, if it doesn't have a reliable supplier of crude oil. Russia has unlimited access to oil.

3. The country is expected to have its own military satellites. Such country must be able to track it's enemy troops movement, Strategic weapons movement and the ability to destroy your adversaries satellites if the need arises. Russia is more than capable in the area

3. The country must be able to produce it's own weapon. The Chinese military industry is still developing. They are still finding it difficult to produce reliable engines for their military aircrafts. Most of the locally made Chinese fighter jets till use Russian engine, including some of the J-20. Although they are getting closer.

4. The country must be able to protect its own territory from the air, sea and land effectively.

5. Ability to carry out effective intervention in a foreign land. Russia did it in Syria alone likewise US several times. Other super powers have not demonstrated such capabilities in large scale like the two mentioned above. France is doing it in Africa on a very small scale

5. Nuclear Triad. Only 2 countries have true TRIAD capabilities. They are US & Russia. They both have strategic bomber fleet, strategic submarine fleet and enough ground base ICBM. Other super power like France & UK don't have bombers. But their fighter jets can carry tactic nuke. The US F-22 raptor and the Mig-31 can also carry tactic nuke. But their bomber fleet give them an edge.

Israel has won many wars. But she is not a super power. Israel imports fighter jet for its air force. Which is the most important part of her Military. Lastly Israel military is too small. You can not dominant the world with a small military no matter how strong your military is. It is just impossible.

I don't even understand your analysis. Are you aware Russia is selling less oil now but making more money than they made in previous years? So long as they are enjoying robust profits from their oil sales and it doesn't affect their economy, they'd do just fine.

Difficult morning, we are dealing with terrorists, dozens of missiles were launched, including Iranian drones, energy facilities were damaged, Kyiv region and Khmelnitsky region, Lviv and Dnipro, Vinnytsia, Frankiv region, Zaporizhia

Sumy region, Kharkiv region, Zhitomir region, Kirovord region, they want to destroy our energy system and infrastructure
The targets were specifically chosen to cause as much damage as possible
Stay in the shelters today


Always follow the safety rules. And always remember Ukraine was before this enemy appeared, Ukraine will pursue him
So he has done his worst and Zekensky is still standing grin

All they can do is conduct more bombing but without infantry to go in and finish the job because the ground troops are weak and have low morale.

russia have gained more hard money from oil and gas during this war than they have before. As biden don go provoke china and india,they will continue buying russian oil and gas. Whatever is the case though,things are going to be very difficult for ukraine henceforth.
