Master Pu, I hope you are doing well on this fine day. Sadly your days on the Internet are numbered so you might as well make the best of it. You see, Cisco has pulled out of Russia -- they will not be providing spares, updates, support, etc. in Russia. The core internet backbone in Russia primarily consists of Cisco equipment. So at this point it is just a matter of weeks or months until the entire Russian internet is a entity of the past. Until then -- we can spend our time translating via Google your Russian language posts and chuckling at your mindless ignorance as you spew the Kremlin talking points.

Why Putin is Turning Russia into a Chinese Client State, and How to Stop It By deciding to attack Ukraine, Vladimir Putin has destroyed the Russian Federation as it existed before. Obviously, Moscow has no chance of winning this war. The consequences could be either the transformation of Russia into an isolated police-counterintelligence dictatorship completely dependent on Chinese support, or the removal of Putin and his inner circle from power, with further democratisation and growing cooperation with Ukraine and the West based on the strict observance of international law. It is worth noting that only the second option would allow Russia to retain its sovereignty and avoid becoming a resource colony of China. Hence, regime change is a task not only for the West, but also for those Russian elites who still retain some vestiges of patriotism. The boosting of Chinese influence in Russia – made even clearer by the recent Russian appeals to China for help with munitions, food rations for Russian troops and broader financial support – is not an accident, but a conscious step that Putin logically chose before the invasion. Putin's rapprochement with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, one of China's main lobbyists in the Kremlin; the use of businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin's network (including the Wagner Group and political technologists) in China's interests in Africa; and Rosneft and Gazprom’s reorientation to China clearly indicated this. The disclosure that Russia was the largest consumer of Chinese ‘secret loans’ in 2010–2017 suggests that the foundations of this influence began to be laid immediately after Putin came to power. Putin – who just a year ago conducted a brilliant operation to sever Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's ties with the West, effectively ending Belarus' state sovereignty and bringing it under Russian external control – must surely have realised that the war in Ukraine would put Russia in the same position. Putin, Shoigu, Nikolai Patrushev and other hawks not only accepted, but actively sought such consequences. Just as Lukashenko did with Moscow, Putin and his entourage signed an agreement with Beijing to surrender Russia’s national sovereignty in exchange for maintaining their regime.

China taking Russia is a bigger phyrric victory for the west than Russian getting some of Eastern Ukraine. I have dislike of Russians from one trying to kill me in my sleep with a grenade. I don't trust Russians until I know them better now but I prefer your culture as a direct neighbour to China.
You don't believe in god same as me so why put things like that? It appears you are also concerned about China owning the Kremlin.
I was listening to some general the other day talking about how the Ukrainians were getting HIMAR missiles that required a minimum of 3-4 months training, yet the Ukrainians did not have 3-4 months even though they are fast learners. Which made me immediately conclude that some "don't ask-don't tell" Americans who were up to speed were deploying right as I was reading.
It's past time to just enforce a no-fly zone and tell Russia to fuck off with their but we have nukes rubbish. Putin just targeted a shopping centre with missles fired by strategic bombers that attacked from Northern Ukraine. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/...pping-center-1000-civilians-ukraine-rcna35482
And the mall was deliberately targeted. This was not a case of a single missile that went astray... the mall was hit by two or more missiles.
