Why cant the Russians see the lies… Why do they believe a fool like putin… Whats wrong with them…
The lesson to be drawn from Stalingrad is that the besiegers' soon become the besieged..
Brilliant analysis on the demographics in Russia. Perhaps, Russia's purpose of the invasion of Ukraine is not to expand the empire (Russia has more land than they know what to do with it) but to assimilate more Slavic people into the country and improve its declining population
Has anybody seen the awful adverts of supposedly Ukrainian Women looking for love and marriage and why are they still up YouTube??
So who's enjoying Atomic Heart?
Putin is doing us all a favour, with all the mating age young Russian men gone thanks to his war, guess what the breeding age young Russian women would have to do? š
So Turkey 1, has been buying Russian oil to prop up their economy who is effectively at war with Nato since we've been sending all kinds of weaponry to its enemy Ukraine. And 2, has been blocking the two strategically important countries both in terms of geography and economy from joining Nato. Basically its every step is undermining the values and interests of Nato, WHY is it still in Nato even?
THE LATEST? FOOK 90% of this is older than I am?
Canāt trust Russian stats, nor the UN or the World banks because they use Putinās numbers.
There is enough credible evidence NOW to charge Putin, his generals and officers and soldiers of war crimes and genocide. Try them in absentia if necessary! No ābusiness as usualā can be envisioned if Russian population is to understand whatās happened and accountability handed out.

It can't be stressed enough that Ukraine must hold Bakhmut as all costs. Biden could help them tremendously by giving them ATACMS Hirmars immediately. The Ukrainians – old men, old ladies, men and women in the streets would be forever grateful to Biden if he gives them ATACMS at the critical, dire moment. If preferred, there's no need to announce to avoid angering Putin. Checked.
Fake news! š
Bakhmut is not a small mining town as claimed – if it was not so critical why does Ukraine fight hard for it – Western Media is a twisted warped paradox
Empire of Lies, nuff said. But really the sad thing is that Ukraine had been already depopulated by their "supporters". What supporting Ukraine means: forced conscription of 16 to 60 year old ukrainian man, forbiding them to leave country, sending them hundreds of km to the east to die, while country has lost over 10 milion of people who did get away from being a pawns to be sacrified.
Russia needs to take out Putin and compensate Ukraine. It's the only way Russia can ever save face on any of this travesty. I expect a lot of the young Russian conscripts will surrender to Ukrainian forces as soon as is safe, or flee to safe neighbouring countries. Lots of Russians (especially young Russians) are against this war. Unfortunately any deserters that get caught will be tortured & murdered by the Russian sledgehammer wielding Wagner Group forces.
Putin is the kind of tyrant that would push the big red button if he feels cornered or looks like he is losing the war.
This invasion by Putin's Russia is all total madness! It is going to drag us all into WWIII.
Then again, the UK sells arms to countries that are bombing civilians in Yemen and which have many human rights abuses etc. Every rich and powerful country has blood on their hands…
The claims are wrong but I note that the British people have not survived in the form we were even 30 years ago.
Perhaps Moldova should invite NATO to provide internal security for Moldova. Ani aircraft armaments as part of such protection would hamper the Russian overflights.
No one ever explains why they think a decline in population matters. If it is due to a slow reproduction rate, and with longer healthy lives, I see no problem for most western countries. When a sudden decline happens, due to war or desease, then the issue is different and that is where Russias seems to be.
For the benefit of viewers, the GDP per head in Russia is USD12k while in Argentina it is USD 11k. Despite its periodic revolutions I would rather live in Argentina.
Russia is the only free country in Europe
the whole Europe is colonized by US and UK,RUSSIA is the only independent and sovereign country with the blood of her soldiers.
Tired from propaganda movies
Putin is no dummy. Heās been preparing for decade long war if need be since 2014. Buying up Hundreds of Billions of Dollars and Pounds in reserve funds from the Chinese to boost his economy.
Him and his buddies are seasoned KGB spies, not the drunks that sank the Union in 1989.
Ukraine is unable to fight another year at the same pace and itās costing the West too much in money, equipment and natural recourses.
This fairytale that Russia is losing and that Putinās days a numbered is complete crap.
Keep believing, westoid
This was by far the most interesting episode for a while.
Russian GDP and employment include the war spending. But that is really just expenses, since these goods are immediately consumed. Actual productivity and capital spending has been diverted. Doesnāt GDP therefore overstate the health of their economy?

Russia could be a true world leader if P
Putin would stop trying to rule the world. He does not have anything to offer other than destruction and overbearing opression
How is the NATO-trained Ukrainian army being humiliated with huge losses to a militia of prisoners who until the other day were incarcerated?
