Good, you admitted the War is also affecting Russia. fine by me.

Russia's economy is choking, use the link in my previous post, that's an example.

And just one bank has closed down in the US in 2023, and it has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine. Russia meanwhile is defaulting on loan repayment.

Vacation spending of Russia's citizens has reduced cos of sanctions and the restrictions cos of the war, several European nations have placed visa restrictions on Russia, so where are they even traveling to?

"The economy ministry forecast GDP growth of 2% in 2024, down from 2.6% when it last provided macroeconomic forecasts in the autumn."

"The Russian economy shrank 2.1% in 2022. Before Moscow began what it calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine, the government had expected 3% growth."

This is enough evidence the sanctions are working.

The West/UK economy are stable, cos they stopped buying cheap gas from Russia has affected them, price of Gas there is high compared to previous years but it hasn't disturbed the economy. If the economy of the West/US is as bad as you think, they wouldn't be able to provide aids for Ukraine. High gas prices, Yes, but not much in everything else.

The only leverage Russia had over the US/West was the gas, now they are getting their gas from other countries, the money that would have entered Russia's economy is been spent else where at a higher price. On the gas, they have overcomed the worst.

Ukraine is Russia's match, Russia has nothing over the west, be it economy, weapon systems, training, experience, number of soldiers. West na overstretch for Russia.

If Poland enter this war on the side of Ukraine, I'd put my money on Ukraine/Poland.

And with time, You'd realize that it is the west that's holding back not Russia

The sanctions were designed to destroy Russia. Biden warned Putin, that if he invade Ukraine, the West will unleash very harsh & heavy sanctions against Russia. So base on the above, the sanctions failed woefully. Nobody is saying the sanctions are not affecting Russia. Putin always talk about how the sanctions are creating problems for Russia and how they work day and night to solve the problem.

Lastly, can you name one country in the West that can withstand such sanctions?

NATO bombing of Yugoslavia is not civil.

Some NATO members joined the US to invade Iraq despite the fact they knew, that the US was lying about the weapon of mass destruction she claimed Iraq has.

They preach freedom of speech. But ban Russia media from operating on their soil.

They punished Russia for Bucha massacre without any proper investigation. Is that not jungle justice?

You have ears, you have eyes, you have mouth & you have brain. Use them wisely.

So what is so civil about them.

"Western states are more civil states, they have processes to resolve issues with each other without resorting to military actions."
Key words : *With Each Other* they are bum to the rest of the world.

The reason they banned Russia media is cos their media is state controlled. The both banned each other, it shouldn't be an issue.

Russia's System of Operational-Investigatory Measures (SORM) requires telecommunications operators to install hardware provided by the Federal Security Service (FSB). It allows the agency to unilaterally monitor users' communications metadata and content, including phone calls, email traffic and web browsing activity.
Russia is a policing country. As long it isn't independent media, the US won't allow and Russia doesn't want independent media in Russia.

I'm glad you know the US is punishing Russia. Small small you people are starting to admit it. The Bucha massacre occured when Russia occupied the Bucha, and there were investigations abeg. Ask your source again

⚡️🇷🇺 Ex-Russian Space Boss Finds 'No Proof' Americans Landed On Moon In 1969.

Russia's former head of the Roscosmos space agency, Dmitry Rogozin, said he went on a quest about a decade ago to find concrete proof that the 🇺🇸 Americans landed on the Moon in 1969. After finding little evidence, he questioned whether the Apollo 11 Mission reached the lunar surface.

"About ten years ago, when I worked in the Government, I sent an official request to Roscosmos to provide me with documentary evidence of the 🇺🇸 Americans' stay on the moon, which at that time was still at the disposal of the federal agency," Rogozin said in a post on Telegram on Sunday.

He continued, "I was painfully embarrassed by the fact that the 🇷🇺 Soviet cosmonauts returning from multi-day expeditions could barely stand on their feet and underwent a long recovery after such flights, and the Americans crawled out of their lunar ships like cucumbers from the garden."

Even many Americans knew the so-called moon landing was pathetically fake. cool

⚡️🇫🇮 Finland's outgoing Prime Minister Sanna Marin has filed for divorce jointly with her husband of three years Markus Raikkonen, they said on Instagram on Wednesday.

"We are grateful for the 19 years together and our beloved daughter. We will remain best friends," they said in separate Instagram stories.
Thats why some people dont like to go ahead and legalized their union in marriage.
When they were together for many years before they married they would always respect each other space but marriage break that.
So divorce comes in.

If Russia's forces were as good as you claim, they would already have captured Ukraine since last year. If the conscripts weren't badly trained there would be no need for Wagner pmc to become the main assault force. If your army is as good you don't need PMC to assist them. The reason Wagner Pmc is certain part in Africa is cos those African nations army can't handle the allegedly terrorism.
You're damn hilarious and highly ignorant. cool Russia never set out to capture the whole of Ukraine. Your major undoing is repeating what you saw or heard from the headlines of MSM platforms without applying common sense and logical reasoning. Ukraine is the second largest country after Russia in Europe; you don't capture a country that size with 109k troops. The Russian mission was very clear; to denazify and demilitarised Ukraine as such that it would no longer have the ability to produce large-scale offensive weaponry and wage widescale frontier war. And that mission has been achieved. cool As of today, there is no single Ukrainian military-industrial complex standing churning out weapons. The only thing keeping current Ukraine floating is NATO.

Wagner PMC is NOT the main assault force, but part of the main assault force. And the musicians have been fighting in the war even before the Russian partial mobilization started. They have been on the LPR and DPR sides since 2014, fighting in their ranks. Get your facts right. You have much to learn, brother. cool

Same Russia that even sent their forces to be trained in Belarus, when normally it is Belarus that goes to Russia for military training. Same Russia that's buying drones from Iran is the Russia you want to hype their Military😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Lmao. grin This got me cracking out loud. grin Russia and Belarusian troops conduct drills together, not Belarusian troops training Russian troops. grin You're suffocating under the influence of British media prison of misinformation. grin Get out while you can. cool


So Russia has left it's goals of denazifying the entire Ukraine to just focusing on the Eastern part😂😂😂😂😂. Truly change of plans
Denazification was thoroughly achieved. Ask the liquidated 15 thousand battalions of AZOV fighters in liberated Mariupol. grin Only a handful of them are left now, and some of them are already serving prison sentences in Russia. The Russian ethnic people in the Dombass region have been freed from their 8 years of Nazi terrorism perpetrated against them. That is mission accomplished. grin


At the beginning of the War, Russia overwhelmed Ukraine and bombed the hell out of them, and were fast about it, Russia only stopped the Blitzkrieg cos they couldn't do it anymore since it was effective.

How long does it take to train the conscripts?
Russia NEVER initiated a blitzkrieg as defined by the Western standard of 'shock and awe'. The West told you that and you just swallowed it as usual. If you want to know the meaning of true Blitzkrieg, go and research what US and Britain did in Iraq, and what Russia did in Aleppo. You will start thanking God for Ukraine.

Now, ask yourself; when did Russia start bombing Ukrainian civilian infrastructure? Only when General Ammaggedon took over. That tells you the Russian style of fighting was very different from how the West used to conduct their own wars. Hence, we saw Ukrainian electricity, internet, and water connections completely untouched during the first period of the Russian attack. Their major targets were strictly military industries and military infrastructures. Had Russia started with what they later did with Surovikin to what they are doing now, no one would be talking about the war anymore as of today. The mission was never to destroy or capture the whole of Ukraine but to denazify it and destroy its military capability, which has been very successful so far. cool

Clown, Russia just opened up a longer border with NATO in Finland few miles from St Petersburg and you are drinking zobo

Kherson is part of "Russia", if mission is achieved they should go and take it.

Wagner is the only fighting force of Russias capable of making any kind of offensive, and they have been struggling with Bakhmut for over 6 months
