Putin may temporarily not lose the war in Ukraine by bombing it, but Russia itself will lose immediately if he would do that. There is no country in the world, including Iran, China, India, probably even North Korea, which would support Russia anymore in this case. None. Complete isolation. All Putin can currently lose is a "special operation" in Ukraine, and Crimea. If he uses nukes, he will lose Russia. And even then he won't win in Ukraine either. There is no way in hell Ukraine would bow to Putin, not even after nukes. Actually, considering how weak Russia is, Ukraine may attack main Russia in this case with all it has left. And Putin would need to nuke his own country to stop them. But I like to think that there are some sane people left in the Kremlin who wouldn't let that happen anyway. Putin doesn't have full power over nukes at his will.
at least the world now knows that the entire russian army is nothing more than a ridiculous pile of old crap. and their economy is crap. their reputation is crap anyway and and and ... oh how i miss Gorbatschow.
Russia has already won this conflict with the West. Just check the facts!... How much did the sanctions cost the West so far, and how much Russia? ROTFL! Who pays 10x more for energy than a year ago: Russians or the West? The economic situation in the West is already similar to the economic crisis of 2008, believe it or not! Inflation already above 10%, and in eastern Europe (esp. in the Baltic countries) has even reached 20+%! For example the German economy (the biggest in Europe) is on the brink of collapse due to energy and material shortages (supply chain issues) and the high energy prices and the high inflation! And the German people are upset b/c of this incompetent 3-party coalition govt of this dumbo Scholz. It's all the fault of the brainless Western sanction politicians who have no clue of geopolitics nor of world economy. Just some woke idiots in the West...
10x more. How did you arrive at that number in your fantasyland? You need more emojis to make you more credible.
As a German, currently living in Germany, I can assure you, that we are fine. But thanks for asking. Our gas tanks are nearly full and we even produce the energy for France to compensate for their failing nuclear power plants. The 3-party coalition did well and got most of the issues sorted out in record time already. Life goes on. And that's even without the LNG terminals, which will be finished soon as well. We have around 8.5% inflation and nobody is happy about that, but "being upset" is more a thing for the far right people. But they complain about everything every day - and nobody listens to them anyway. Houses are still warm, a cooked meal is on the table, jobs still pay good money, everyone still has better healthcare than in the US, universities are still for free and my car still has fuel. And there is still no speed limit on the Autobahn. If it wouldn't be for the news, I wouldn't even notice if Putin and Russia still exist or not. But I've heard Russia just fired the vice minister of defense? Anything going wrong? How are you guys doing? Still happy with the whole invasion thing and gladly preparing to join it with top technology? https://pr0gramm.com/top/24.02.2022 never Ukraine/5338471
@John44, you seem not following the economic news of Germany, nor Europe or the West in general. Study the recent economic news and then tell me/us about it... Europa ist am Arsch, Mann! Auf gut Deutsch gesagt Es wird auseinander brechen! S. Situation in Italien, Frankreich, Ungarn, ...
Economic news is one thing. We all know that we are at the brink of a global recession, and there is a lot of money to be made in shorts until the markets will eventually go up again, as they always do. But that doesn't mean that every day's life of anyone is any different. You seem to try to convince yourself that there must be chaos and drama everywhere, because there is chaos and drama in Russia. Nope. Sorry.
