This is objectively wrong. Like, it's not even a matter of opinion. So many ways to attack this, but the ruble is .017 of the Euro. That's laughable. If that's your measure of success, I'd hate to see what you bring into the bedroom.

So speaking of Finland and Sweden, any of the right wing folks in this thread want to explain why they should not be allowed to join NATO?

What is your reasoning and rationale?

Russia's economy is less than Texas' economy. It is not losing money on sales of oil but when you sell at a $40 per barrel discount, you are all but losing money to keep wells flowing and from sanding up.

From what we have seen, its military technology is so 1950's and 1960's, not even up to Western 1970's except for a few things.

Russia is bleeding out financially in a big way. Who is going to fund the war, China, or Russia's future hydrocarbon production? It certainly isn't making close to a billion a day in oil not even half that. its cash flow might be close to a billion but not profit

I’m guessing the militias air defense systems aren’t integrated with the Russian ones.

Theft and cheating are rampant in China.

We should take them very seriously, but at the same time, they do have serious problems.

I think the cheating is a cultural issue. It may be the damage Mao did.

Spiking the football early again? They haven’t joined.

Spare me the it’s a process nonsense. Most of you have the geopolitical chops of a fricking parrot and just regurgitate whatever blue check mark you like best says on Twitter. To this point, myself and a few others who dared enter into this Zelensky safe space to challenge your short sighted and all too predictable world views have been correct.

Only in your own small minds. You can’t see totalitarianism and aggression for what it is. You only see a hero figure in Pootin’ because he reflects your own twisted world view of hegemony.

Not even close. Better analogy is it is their equivalent a/c to our F-15E Strike Eagle. M has a better attack sensor package, but no stealth qualities whatsoever.


RF-95890 is the 11th Su-34 the Russians have lost over Ukraine since widening their war in the country on Feb. 23. That’s nearly a tenth of all the Su-34s Sukhoi has built.

I think the point is anything that has an engine and wings could be called a poor man's F35 using the logic presented in the article.
