Topic: Will Russia Emerge As The Next Dominant Superpower - page 8. (Read 8955 times)

Did the countries of Europe and other world powers suddenly want to bring down the Russian economy for no apparent reason? No, this is a fair reaction to the aggression and aggressive wars of Russia itself. Russia has been attacking neighboring states under far-fetched pretexts for decades - Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine in 2014, where it created territorial objects of tension under its control. It seemed to her not enough. Now she has made a large-scale military invasion of Ukraine and unleashed the bloodiest war in Europe since the Second World War. It robs, kills, rapes and terrorizes the civilian population of Ukraine, deliberately destroys schools, hospitals, houses and other civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. Should terrorists and murderers be punished? Of course you do.

Economic sanctions are the most humane way to punish an aggressor country. Their results are not immediate. In Russia, there are certain stocks of sanctioned goods, at first it is possible to partially bypass them. You have to wait a year or two. Where to rush to conclusions? However, their results are already being felt in the Russian Federation. Along with the failures on the fronts of Ukraine, the virtual destruction of the regular army of Russia, the big problems with the mobilization inside Russia, because the army is gone, the sanctions inevitably do their job.

Now Putin is rushing about and does not know how to get out of this war with dignity, he desperately wants to put Ukraine at the negotiating table. But Ukraine has already said that it will not negotiate with Putin the killer, it will only talk with his successor and on Ukraine's terms. By the end of October there should be good news for Ukraine on the southern front. After that, the Putin regime should crumble ...

True, although Russia has always been prevented by Europe and the USA but they can survive and continue to run, Russian economic and military strength is currently very strong so they are ready if there are bad things such as world war, and also many Russian companies expand to other countries so that becomes a good bargaining value.

They tried to isolate Russia, and attempted to destroy the Russian economy through sanctions. They failed pathetically with both the attempts. First of all, not just China, but also other countries such as India, Pakistan and Indonesia refused to follow the NATO narrative and join the sanctions brigade. And secondly, despite all the sanctions and embargoes, Russian economy is doing relatively fine. The Russian Ruble is one of the best performing currencies of 2022, and that says a lot about the effectiveness of the sanctions.

Russia was darkness, in the days of Muscovy, and the fictional "Russia", and in the form of the RSFRS, and in the form of today's terrorist country. Muscovy / USSR / Russia - has always killed, robbed, neighboring countries and entire nations. This is her story ... Study the history - you will learn a lot of new things ...
But you're also confusing cause and effect.
The sanctions were the result of the start of REGULAR aggressive, terrorist war, in violation of the mass of international obligations and treaties by that same Russia.
Threat I’ll answer in advance - no, Ukraine’s entry into NATO - this idea appeared much later than 2014, when Russia attacked Ukraine ....

Given that russia has been under threat from SWIFT sanctions. Part and component sanctions for many years. I'm surprised they haven't been able to do more to kickstart their own native and domestic sources of manufacturing and supply.

The one area russia has done well is in agriculture and food production. Russia has steadily produced higher quantities of food everywhere to alleviate economic stress from food imports being banned into the country. I assumed russia would do the same with its technology and manufacturing sectors. But it seems that they have suffered a steady string of defeat there.

While russia has been able to produce impressive technology in their fighter jets, helicopters, hypersonic missiles and missile interception systems. They have not been able to produce those items in any real quantity. It appears that they also lack many fundamental things necessary to having a basic war effort. Such as some sources claiming russian soldiers lack radio encryption. Can you imagine a modern military lacking radio encryption in the year 2022. In an era where many firefighters, police and law enforcement have radio encryption as a standard measure.

In the new official status, "terrorist country" - of course, it groans as a leader! Among losers, scum and world outcasts
True, the world was hesitant for a long time, shy, and some were afraid to admit this fact. But now the situation is changing dramatically. Even many yesterday's supporters of the terrorists with the "second army in the world" voted against the recognition of the fake "referenda" and the temporary occupation and annexation of the territories of Ukraine. Of course, Russia will not become "Great North Korea" tomorrow, but in a very close time. As the people say, "The kid went to success, it didn't work out, it didn't fartanulo*"

* - slang word, from the slang of persons serving a sentence

But, Russia was supposed to trash NATO even in an open battle, not they are running away just because the US has sent 5% of their missile launchers, 0% of their tanks, 0% of their aircraft, 0% of their aircraft carries,0% of their submarines and 0% of their troops in battle?
 
How's that 50% getting conquered by April, then 25% then 20% ?
Right now Russia holds 68k km2 conquered from February 24, that's 11% and even if we include Crimea and the DPR/LNR is still below 18%.

Meanwhile, speaking of a superpower, the super profits that some experts were talking about are, guess what...melting away!
I can remember the stupid cheering on how Russia is making billions in profits, how they have trillions in budget surplus how they can afford quadrillions while Europe sinks in poverty, well, as usual, reality kicks in after the last glass of vodka.

Overdose of hopium and copium detected, as your doctor should have prescribed, take 20mg of ukrainianum in case you still see red flying midgets around you.

A little about the "greatest army of Russia", with which she "single-handedly fights NATO"
1. Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, using fairly simple weapons such as Jevelins and NLOVs, have destroyed a significant part of the WORKING equipment of Russia. Without the involvement of weapons such as HYMARS and the like.
2. Russia is forced to actually attract thousands and tens of thousands of mercenaries from other countries. It's fixed, it's a fact.
3. In Ukraine at the moment, there are foreign combatants, but firstly they officially serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and secondly there are only hundreds of them.
4. A month ago, "great advanced Russia", barely begged for a UAV from .. IRAN
5. Failed to beg for shells and missiles from ... NORTH KOREA

And you can continue to amuse yourself with a NEW fairy tale from the losing, fake army of Russia, as well as fake Russia itself

Well.. it is not a simple Russia vs Ukraine battle. Now it has grown to Russia vs NATO battle. With every passing day, more and more modern weaponry from the NATO ends up in Ukraine. And a large part of the Ukrainian soldiers are now being trained in NATO nations. There are thousands, if not tens of thousands of foreign volunteers fighting on the Ukrainian side. On the other hand, the Russian side is fighting on their own. Despite numerous rumors, they haven't received any inflow of foreign weapons or volunteers.

seems that they are desperate now on how to defeat ukraine. however, from the looks of it, ukraine is indeed not backing down with this battle. remember, russia is a big country and yet, they can't defeat this small country. translating the notion that russia is not the superpower country that it portrays it to be. if they do have more than enough weapon and other resources, this war should have been ended a long time ago. so i don't think russia will be the next dominant superpower, because this war alone, they couldn't show it.

Russia is now suffering defeat on all fronts of Ukraine and is retreating under the onslaught of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Failing to achieve success at the front, the Russians launch missile strikes and actively use attack drones to destroy critical infrastructure and densely populated cities.

So, yesterday, on October 10, Russia launched a massive attack on 18 peaceful cities of Ukraine, launching more than a hundred cruise missiles. 43 of them were shot down by Ukrainian air defense. According to Forbes, Moscow spent about $400-700 million on strikes on Ukraine in half a day. The missiles hit a thermal power plant, a playground, asphalt on the roadway, cars with people, museums, hospitals, residential buildings.
The Kremlin acknowledged these strikes, and the Russian Defense Ministry stated that the purpose of the strikes had been achieved, all designated targets had been hit.

From a military point of view, these strikes do not matter. Due to the fact that the Russians are unable to detect and neutralize Ukrainian mobile air defenses, out of impotence, they are using their usual tactics of intimidating the civilian population.

I hope that if a crisis occurs, then we can't feel it, so that we can still enjoy Bitcoin as it is today. Lol
I'm just worried that if the global economic crisis continues, there will be a world war. Powerful countries like America, China and Russia will invade small countries.
If we look at the current conditions, America has lost compared to Russia. We know America's involvement in Russia's war with Ukraine is obvious. But the Ukrainian forces were unable to make the Russian troops retreat.

This means that Russia's capabilities in the context of war are currently above average. The thing that I dislike the most in every war is, the superpowers are always looking for fields in small countries to test their abilities. The involvement of America and Nato in Russia's war with Ukraine made Ukraine's condition worse.

russia's economy has collapsed, sanctions have begun to operate in full force, oil prices are falling, mobilization has failed, the front has been torn in many places, russia is undergoing a total defeat.
but you believe the putler that everything is fine, the reality is completely different.


russia actually lost this war, but you are so stupid that you completely believe putin's propaganda and don't want to see obvious things...
you are a stupid zombie fascist and you have to live with it...

The main reason why the NATO countries have not yet attacked Russia after its attack on Ukraine is that they see that Ukraine can  defeat Russia militarily with timely help with weapons and financial support. Now the last remnants of the regular Russian army are being successfully destroyed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on all fronts. Of particular interest in this regard is the most combat-ready part of the Russian army in the Kherson region, numbering about 25,000 people, which is surrounded on three sides, and on the fourth side is pressed against the Dnieper River with four broken bridges that the invaders used for supplies.

Today, at about six o'clock in the morning, the Kerch bridge was blown up, which the Russians built to connect the occupied Crimean peninsula with the territory of Russia. Two spans of the automobile part of the bridge fell into the water from the explosion, and the third moved. The explosion set fire to seven fuel tanks, which at that time "accidentally" drove along the railway part of this bridge. Now the invaders cannot supply the occupied south of Ukraine with manpower and equipment. The Russians boasted that this bridge was impregnable for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Now there is panic.

The only reason is that NATO is too weak for any real confrontation with any actual military force despite the fake front they show from themselves. This is exactly why they are involved in so many proxy wars. Besides if they could bomb anyone, they would have bombed Iran in 2020 when Iran conducted what Pentagon refers to as "the largest ballistic missile attack on America in history" that left US with over 900 casualties (140 dead).

The only reason why the NATO hasn't bombed Russia till now is because the latter has one of the largest nuclear arsenals in the world. That is the difference between Russia, Iran and DPRK on one side, and Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and Libya on the other side. If they had agreed to denuclearize when USSR disintegrated in 1992, then there would be no country called Russia now.

At this point, Russia and it's allies have only around 160,000 soldiers in Ukraine. The new additions will increase that amount by 3x, and partially eradicate the manpower advantage that Ukraine had on the ground. As per reliable sources, around 700,000 Ukrainian troops are right now on the frontline. Combined with the airpower and artillery advantage, this will create issues for Ukraine during the winter war. And regarding the surrenders, far more Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered to the Russians, than vice versa.

Ukraine is not yet going to win back some parts of the territory of Russia. She has enough of her territories. I mentioned the Kuban only in the sense that when national liberation movements begin in Russia itself and entire regions secede from the Russian Federation as separate republics, the territories of present-day Russia that adjoin or are located close to Ukraine may themselves want to join Ukraine. Of course, for such events to mature in Russia, it takes a certain amount of time.

As for the "partially mobilized" Russians, in Ukraine they expect that there may not be 300 thousand, but up to about 1.2 million people. But such a mobilization is likely to create more problems for Russia itself than for Ukraine. So far, such mobilized people complain that they have to buy clothes and equipment themselves and big problems in everything else. Russia tried through Turkey in third countries to buy 200,000 body armor and 500,000 sets of winter uniforms for its mobilized, but was refused. More than 2,000 of these mobilized have already applied for special telephones in Ukraine in order to surrender to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The mobilized have no desire to die for Putin's imperial ambitions in Ukraine.

I understand that Ukraine has achieved some major victories in the Kharkov and Kherson region. But don't forget that 4 of the Ukrainian oblasts are still partly or fully controlled by Russia (in addition to Crimea). First show that these regions can be reconquered, and after that we can talk about the Kuban region. 300,000 fresh troops are being redirected to the Ukrainian front after partial mobilization. It needs to be seen whether the Ukrainian armed forces can fully withstand this huge force, once they are fully deployed.

Ukraine has declared that it will retake all territories occupied by Russia, including the Crimean peninsula. In September, the Armed Forces of Ukraine almost completely liberated the Kharkiv region, which is approximately 9,000 square kilometers. There are great successes on the eastern front. Since the end of September, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have also counterattacked the Russians in the south, where the most combat-ready part of the Russian army, numbering approximately 25,000, was pressed against the Dnieper River. These are practically the remnants of the regular Russian army that invaded Ukraine in February. Russia already has neither the strength nor the ability to help this encircled grouping, and they are methodically destroyed by precise strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on command posts, warehouses, accumulations of manpower and equipment. Because of this, mobilization has been announced in Russia, but Russia cannot even clothe and provide the mobilized with everything necessary.
So over time, Crimea will definitely be Ukrainian again.
