Of course...but they expect to and can replace them better than Ukraine. Russia doesn't have an indefinite supply but who do you think can last longer in regards to troops?


It’s going to be close. Russia has already had to resort to using North Koreans.

The reason you rely so heavily on anonymous X embeds is that you think it gives you plausible deniability of being pro russian.

Yes, a freeze cannot stave off a credit crisis. In this situation, nothing can. A freeze would do just the opposite and through the resulting bank runs only accelerate the arrival of the crisis. And we'll just let the phrases, "authorities guaranteeing all deposits" and "Russia has fairly strict regulations designed to ensure financial stability, including large capital buffers" speak for themselves. To repeat, Western rules vs. Putin rules.



Putin's signing bonuses have his meat grinder competing with the labor market for warm bodies, with or without vodka super saturation. Thus he drives up the cost of his arms and munitions industries. The caveat is whether or not these employers are deferring pay to their workers, a common Russian practice sometimes for 5 months. Also working fulltime but getting paid parttime wages

War


Two week Special Military Operation.


Do you remember when citizens of that great free Russian republic were being arrested -- literally arrested and held, and then tried in kangaroo courts and sent off to hard labor camps -- for using the term "war" back in 2022?

Do you remember? I remember.

Came here to post that.

Why can’t he focus on his own country that’s at war instead? He’s not wanted or needed at the inauguration in any capacity.

He thinks his country is important, so he should be there in his mind. Of course we all know in our heart of hearts that it's not, whether we choose to admit it or not.

Zelensky wants to be there to honor Trump. He's going to do everything possible to honor Trump.

But for the Trump team, Zelensky's presence would be a distraction. Contrary to some predictions, Trump isn't going to solve the Russo-Ukrainian war in 24 hours, and Trump is going to want all of his initial press coverage to be on the things that he actually can accomplish.

Side note: it's unfortunate that Ivanka is the only one of Trump's kids with any brains, and that she doesn't want to be involved in this term.

Thank God. I had enough of her liberal husband the first go around.

Bring back Bannon and implement the camps.

Eric and Trump Jr are both smarter than you beyond a shadow of a doubt.

They are exactly the kind of people that simpletons think are smart.

EDIT: AU86, Jared was responsible for the Abraham Accords, the most significant foreign policy accomplishment of Trump's first term.

Kushner was one of the brightest spots of the Trump team in term 1.

He was the architect of the Abraham Accords. Smarter than Donnie and Eric. BTW, note which of the sons is running the Trump Organization, it ain't Donnie.
