Do you remember the time Lithuania refused to allow Russian goods to transit their territory via rail to Kaliningrad? Do you remember Russia's response? How Russia was readying about 40,000 troops to confront Lithuania?

That's exactly what awaits Estonia or Latvia if they dare pose a threat to Russia, I mean an actual threat. Not all these barking.

Any sort of blockade on Kaliningrad will force Russia to annex one of the Baltic state.
The fact that NATO (u.s) was saying Lithuania's blockade of Russia's rail was Lithuania's personal decision made it more hilarious.

⚡The United States said Monday that Indian companies risked US sanctions over investment in Iran after New Delhi signed a 10-year contract to develop the long-stalled strategic Chabahar port.

“Any entity — anyone — concerned with business deals with Iran, they need to be aware of the potential risks that they’re opening themselves up to and the potential risk of sanctions,” State Department spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters.

Total Russia losses from this war is less than 3,000 men. The others are Donbass militia and mercenaries Putin paid to fight. Russia haven't even lost 0.0001% of her military might since the war started. They are going back to the outskirt of Kiev soon and Ukraine will be forced to accept all of Putin's demands or get driven to Poland
nah! That's ridiculous... Russia losses is way higher

I think Russia has lost up to at least 180k men. Excluding mercenaries.

In my opinion this is a perfect opportunity for Russia to kill as many NATO soldiers as possible, in preparation for the great war (WWIII).

Let them troop in disguised as "non-combatant" soldiers then send "non-combatant" Iskanders as a welcome gift.

Then over 700k American soldiers died during over 10yrs of occupation of Iraq. Americans are the greatest liars when it comes to casualties. Only one American soldier have been dying in wars since after the Vietnam war. Bomb American soldiers with atomic bomb they will tell you one and half died and half injured. Americans are clowns

No, they've lost around 50 000 men including and mostly irregulars. The number comes from a bbc investigation. And it is close to the number given by Shoigu.
People keep saying Russia is slow, but guess why Russia is slow: it is making sure it loses few men while inflicting maximal casualties on its enemy. It is called war of attrition, and it is working.

Let's be fair warfare has changed a lot since Vietnam, and to be honest USA won't fight this type of war Russia is fighting, they will carpet bomb the whole place before they put boots on ground. And also this is probably the first war after WW2 where 2 world powers are fighting.
All the wars Americans had been fighting is usually unbalanced wars and then they use a lot of air bombing against countries with little to no air defense.
So it's normal for them to have low casualties, let them move their troops to Ukraine and fight if e sure for them

You don't know what you are talking about. I said over 700k American died during the occupation of Iraq. Nothing have changed since the 70's, wars are still being fought same way. America dropped more bombs on Vietnam than all the bombs dropped by all countries during the second World War. They still lied about their casualties there as over 1.5million Americans died. America have completed dvmb the world to think their soldiers are robot or cyborg. Even the Houthis have killed over a thousand American since October. America can fool the world but not me.

That surrender is the funniest

It's actually how the western presstitude tagged surrender as evacuated when the scenario doesn't suit their narrative. They said that during when the Ukrainian forces in Mariupol surrendered to Russian forces. As the surrendered Ukrainian soldiers were taken away in large buses, the western media said they were being "evacuated".
