Don't project your fetish on me.
Russia threw its best troops and equipment at Ukraine and got utterly destroyed.
So now it's throwing garbage at Ukraine to stall for time while it figures itself out.
If you think the combat vets who survived a year or more in the Donbas are suiting up to be in tbe next donkey wave to get slaughtered, I don't know what to tell you.
Sure. Russia has suffered 1 million casualties. Unlike the jerkoffs on here who think it's 100,000. But Russia also has several hundred thousand combat vets who have survived the war.
What do you think they're doing now?

Actually Russia is being smart about this.
They're building a pretty badass rear echelon army filled with veterans who survived a tour in Ukraine. And all the latest weapons.
The newest tanks rolling off the assembly line aren't going to Ukraine. They're going to a new strike army that's taking all the lessons from the Ukraine debacle and turning them into the future Russian army.
They're building one army in the East to respond to China and one in the West to take the Baltics and use them as a bargaining chip to forestall being overrun in the event of a systemic defeat.
Throwing more men and material won't effect the outcome in Ukraine. That war is already lost. It's just a killing ground for new recruits and a means to keep pressure on and occupy the masses. Putin is already worried about -- and planning for -- the next war.

Why are we ok striking Iran but not Russia or North Korea?
Because Russia would retaliate by rolling into the Baltics. And Latvia's 8,000 man standing army would last about 7 hours in the face of even a few marginal Russian divisions.
Then how do you get them out?
I think the specter of nuclear war has always been overblown. But it's always easier to pick on a country that doesn't have them.

My concern is what becomes of the nukes if Russia were to collapse.
I think the overriding assumption is that they are not operational.
Certainly the missiles have not been maintained, fueled, upgraded, etc.
As for the warheads, I would guess we know that the control boards are corroded, corrupted, obsolete, missing, etc. And probably do not communicate with their fire control systems any longer.
The trick is the fissile material itself. The assumption here is that stuff is still there and could be sold, transferred, stolen, etc. We defintely would have to literally parachute guys with pallets full of cash to make sure everyone was properly paid and secured.
It woud be an enormous pain in the arse and a high stakes game for sure.
But Russia collapsed in the early 90s without this becoming a problem. And they will collapse again. It's part of their identity.

That point also (I assume intentionally) ignores the Biden admin at times slow playing deliveries to Ukraine for no real reason.
I honestly have come around to the idea what Biden didn't want Ukraine to win too quickly. It would have been a stinging rebuke to Putin. But one he could have probably survived, and learned from.
I honestly think Biden wanted to boil the frog. Keep Putin thinking he was close to victory if he just threw in more assets. And then Biden would give just enough to stop him. But not enough to let the Ukrainians counter attack.
And to me Trump seems content to let this thing go on long enough to watch Russia collapse from the inside. Seizing the shadow tankers is ballsy as hell. And something Trump hasn't gotten enough credit for. He has gone against a big portion of his MAGA base by tightening the screws on Russia. Not as much as many moderates and democrats would like, but way more than his MAGA supporters expected.
I think even the next big step is something that Trump has calculated as to our advantage. If Russia collapses and gets thrown into turmoil, China would have to move into Siberia and keep itself busy making sure breakaway republics around the Stans don't flame regional tensions. That might buy Taiwan another decade of Chinese distraction.
It's not a bad scenario if Trump can pull it off.

Texag has good, detailed, inside information that Russia is only losing 15-20 soldiers per day. So this must just be Deep State MIC Israeli run corrupt media bias misinformation.
He has the real dope.

Let me help you:
We gave her two choices: Suddenly become very US friendly. Kick out the Chinese, Russians, and Cubans. Allow us to get your economy moving again. Swap oil for food and other things your people need. Make some money for yourself. Stay in power.
Or:
Take a hooded plane ride to the Brooklyn detention center like your old boss.
She chose the first option.
It's not hard. It's really brilliant. A nod to the Trump Administration for this one. Beats the shite out of W's version of regime change.
Also showing the world exactly what we're gonna do in Cuba as well.
Russian capital investment back into their production is basically zero. So their numbers are 300,000 bpd below their OPEC+ allotment, and falling. They will soon have lost 1 million bpd which is one reason Trump is trying to bring Venezuela back online to keep prices low.

But percentages don’t tell you anything. They all equal 100%. The relevant numbers is the amount of the revenues Russia is bringing in compared to four years ago.
Exactly. The key number in the percentages is that two customers are now over 80% of their market. So they have way less leverage or room for negotiation.
The key number is that in 2019 Russian oil and gas exports were $186 billion. In 2025 they were about $100 billion. 2026 is forecast in the range of $80-$85 billion.
What is saving their arse is gold. That price has tripled since Covid. And gold exports are up to something like $45 billion. That's not plugging the entire oil and gas shortfall, but it's helping keep them afloat.

So I just pulled up the box score for this afternoon's game.
It's halfway through the 3rd inning. We have made 4 errors. :lol: :wah:
I guess I am gonna have to dig through the numbers and figure out who made them. But I have some guesses.
One on the pitcher. One on the catcher. One on the 3B. And one on the SS (Randle). :violin:
Second edit: 5 errors now through 5
