ned, and likely will not happen, Russia succeeded reducing what it perceived as a clear and present NATO threat


1) There was no threat from NATO. Russia had successfully captured Crimea and no one was threatening their position there.

2) Now Finland and Sweden are in NATO. That didn’t improve Russia’s position. It brought neutral countries into the NATO camp.

3) Ukraine will be a Russian nemesis forever now no matter how this war “officially” ends.

ETA 4) Russian aggression unified NATO and nations woke up and decided to increase their defense spending and improve their militaries.

NATO planned to sausage itself, sans Belarus, against the entirety of Russia's western border plains.


And what else has happened? You have a massive problem with half-reading things.

Insofar as that has not happened, and likely will not happen, Russia succeeded reducing what it perceived as a clear and present NATO threat.


Again, what? There was a trade-off here where their invasion sacrificed the long-term security aims in a way they definitely didn’t predict.

Further, respondent Russo-Sino relations dangerously advanced subsequent to the West's actions.


Let’s be real, you aren’t the one to elucidate and elaborate on the nature of Sino-Russian relations and I’m skeptical you could even categorize them in an accurate way. You make a committed effort to read things in very peculiar ways without reference to reality. It’s a strange way of understanding geopolitics, to be frank.

Russian media report that the largest oil refinery in Russia is on fire.


It's the same age as I am. However, there have been lots of modernization projects and expansions the last two decades. This hurts Gazprom even more which is already teetering on bankruptcy. It's about the size of Citgo, Lake Charles in throughput capacity

On a side note, the long training period is why I was one of the first to suggest sending F16s to Ukraine way back in February 2022. If they would have only listened to you.


Yeah and I suggested trading 1 F16 for 1000 Ukrainian female housekeepers/nannies (all OT8+ ages 21-28). Ukraine would have gotten military assistance and American families would have gotten help with childcare but the Biden-Harris administration didn’t listen.

So it will be the summer of 2025 or maybe the winter of 2025-2026 before Ukraine has enough trained soldiers, sappers, repaired tanks, repaired equipment, etc for it to launch another major counteroffensive. Nobody wants the war to last that long including Ukraine leaders…


It’s going to last that long though. Ukraine will have experience a major military defeat(s) and/or collapse of their military to make them accept Russia’s current terms. Russia is going to have to experience a major defeat and/or Putin’s downfall to make them withdraw. I don’t see any of those things happening before late 2025 at the earliest.

"Wildberries" is the Russian equivalent of Amazon. It was founded by a couple that's now splitting up, and the husband has now appeared to Kadryov to stop his wife from giving 30% of the business to the owner of a billboard company who she is reported to be romantically involved with. It's nuts.

Wait until the bodies start falling... The company is owned by a married couple. The wife, who actually started and built the company, and her husband are divorcing.

But this is a modern Russian divorce involving lots of money. The wife has 'the backing' of Putin et al and the husband has gone to the Chechen warlord Ramzen Kadyrov 'for backing'. Both 'backers' smell the chance at a big score at a time when the Russian cupboard is quite bare.

Kadyrov is making a lot of very public noise, so he will have to be paid off. But this cost is not going to gain him any friends in the Kremlin. Windows are being opened as we speak.

Get Down and Stay Down.

I have never seen a young Ukrainian woman with a butt large enough to twerk.

Housekeepers and nannies are all prostitutes to you? You must be used to St. Petersburg or Moscow

He is a Russian troll who would not know the truth if it slapped in the face. Plus he had to pay upfront for the only pussy he has ever gotten.

Come on dude, you know what you were doing

Why do they have to be 20-28 years old unless you have other motives? Can a 32 year old not clean a house as well?
