This is if Russia can continue to use the gas, I think they will dominate just by this advantage. They are however not the super dominant in Asia, there is always China that has higher advantage over them. China also have the gas supply of their own, not as big as Russia but China has the technology. If the two will start a quarrel I think the unity of both can change. As for now, Its Russia who will win against the West due to the gas dependency of EU.
It is typical US foreign policy to try to quarrel with neighboring countries in order to stir up tensions in the region. Why should Russia quarrel with China if it is possible to live as neighbors and strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation? This is our common continent, along with India, Europe and the Middle East. The US has spread its toxic influence around the world and it will soon come to an end. We can live in peace and act together when the US and Western Europe give up their unfounded claims to exclusivity and superiority over other peoples. Russia can become the new guarantor of global security, it has enough power for this and enough self-control not to use this power in its own selfish interests. Because Russia is the largest and potentially the richest country in the world, with a huge abundance of natural resources. She does not need to plunder other nations in order to prosper. |

It is difficult to object to a well-reasoned accusation, I understand.
I wouldn't know since I have yet to see "a well-reasoned accusation" that would justify a genocide. I have serious doubts that such a thing could possibly exist but I'm sure you guys will try hard to reach new lows. Do not dramatize, you do not have enough good reason to accuse Russia of genocide in Ukraine. Rather, Ukraine can be accused of genocide of the Russian-speaking and pro-Russian population for regular shelling of civilians with artillery. And your personal support for Ukraine reeks of justifying Nazism. |

What is actually not true, again. Fights for city is still going on. If you are guided by the reports of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then they usually reflect the real state of affairs with a delay of 2-3 days. I specifically referred to a report by a civilian correspondent for Russian television who does not work on the front lines. Severodonetsk has been taken, a cleansing operation is underway in the city, the remnants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been forced out into the industrial zone and are deprived of the opportunity to leave for Lisichansk - all bridges have been destroyed or are under full fire control of Russia. LOL fucking hell.

Я б сказал даже тухловато немного становится
По четыреста баксов хорошо, по двести приемлемо, вот если уйдёт на сто и ниже - это будет уже действительно тухловато. Это с точки зрения фарминга, а если смотреть с точки зрения покупателя - текущая цена дорогонах. Говорил выше и повторю, я буду лить по рынку баксов до двухсот, дешевле продавать не буду оставлю до пампа. Благо накладные затраты на фарминг копеечные, фактически устраивает любая доходность выше нулевой. Борода привет, с Чиа расстался? Моя гибридная ферма продолжает работать в штатном режиме, поймал два блока в соло примерно за 10 месяцев после ухода с пула. |

Severodonetsk taken. After the surrender of Azov in Marupol, the resistance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass was actually broken, it became easier to take cities. Moжeм пoвтopить..

The problem with democracy is that it quickly degenerates into idiocracy. Look at the USA and Western Europe - this is some kind of den of homosexuals and drug addicts. Okay, Biden is an idiot senile, but his advisers and assistants are not much better. Western politicians have been shredded and turned into clowns and political prostitutes who engage in populism and lobbying for the interests of large corporations (which is veiled corruption). Don't tell me this is a good role model because it isn't.
Yeah who needs freedom, it's overrated. Give peasants a five year plan and they'll steal everything that's not bolted down, drink it all away, and the TV will tell them that they live better than the rotten West. In the homeland of democracy in ancient Greece, each democrat had several slaves. Modern Western democracy is not far from its progenitor. Winston Churchill once said that: “democracy is the worst form of government – except for all the others that have been tried”. I do not idealize Putin, but you do not idealize Western democracy either, whose welfare is based on the robbery of former colonies. Has Russia managed to manufacture anything more complex than a pair of socks yet (if that)? Seems like you're having trouble with everything from cars to basic food packaging. Russia has eased safety standards for cars produced on its territory, such as dropping the requirement for airbags, after Western sanctions over the war in Ukraine caused a shortage of electronic components and car parts. In a decree signed on May 12, the Russian government announced a list of reduced requirements to certify some types of new vehicles produced in the country.
It includes the production of cars without Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) sensors, airbags or Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) for seatbelts. The decree is in effect until February 1, 2023.
Izvestia: milk and juice producers warned of a reduction in the range
Manufacturers of dairy products and juice in Russia warned of the possibility of a reduction in the range due to a lack of aseptic packaging. This was reported by the Izvestia newspaper, citing the largest company in this field.
In other news, China doesn't want Russian-registered Boeing/Airbus planes in its airspace (those are the stolen leased planes). So cheap crap from China will also get increasingly difficult to acquire. https://www.rbc.ru/politics/27/05/2022/6290b53a9a7947300bc0fc87Oh and before you say "railroads" - Siemens pulled train maintenance contracts so it's gonna be back to 1960s there too. That's what Russia's "full force" looks like. Well, then Russia will have to liberate, in addition to Donbass, Germany or Japan.  |

Biden is not governing the US silly boy.
Give him a break, Russia has had maybe ~10 years of not-entirely-authoritarian regime in its entire history. He doesn't know any better. The problem with democracy is that it quickly degenerates into idiocracy. Look at the USA and Western Europe - this is some kind of den of homosexuals and drug addicts. Okay, Biden is an idiot senile, but his advisers and assistants are not much better. Western politicians have been shredded and turned into clowns and political prostitutes who engage in populism and lobbying for the interests of large corporations (which is veiled corruption).

There is no winning strategy for Putin. And time works against him - he doesn't have the manufacturing capacity to make new tanks, missiles etc at the rate he's expending them.
Russia has this shoe polish for ten Ukraine in store. Yes, bad things have been said, need to invade them all and make friends kill their children. That'll teach them to not say bad things.
Pyccкий миp in its most delusional form.
When kids misbehave, good parents punish them. And bad parents indulge in childish pranks and raise bastards with a sense of their own impunity. |

None of what you say disproves anything of what I say. If a Russian decides to sign for service, he must be aware that this is an ugly war, with many resemblances to the trench war of WWI and also know that the moment the US decides that it has been enough there will be nothing between him and a guided bomb. Do you have any doubt that US can stop this war whenever they wish?
I doubt Biden is able to find his own dick in his pants to piss. |

The operation will not end until this map is restored. Run to Siberia now, lol.
The problem of Ukraine is in the small scale of ambitions. Your wettest fantasies don't even extend to the Urals, and Russia thinks in categories from Lisbon to Sakhalin. You chose an opponent from a different weight class, bunny. Russia is being exposed as weak militarily. It still has a stockpile of nukes, but is vulnerable to invasion/attack.
Does anyone in the world feel the strength to attack weak defenseless Russia? I don't see a line of applicants. All Russophobes have fled to the corners and are barking at Russia from a safe distance, only Ukraine is taking the rap for everyone. |

Russia is not a winner of this war, no matter the military outcome.
I don't understand, can you explain what you mean? Remember back when Russia invaded all of Ukraine and tried to "decapitate the government"? Remember how everyone, including Western media and most or all posters in this thread, including myself thought it would not take long for Russia to accomplish their objectives? Remember how, after failing to take the capital quickly, they spent weeks trying to encircle Kyiv? Remember how you thought they were intentionally not completely surrounding it to allow civilians to leave and "all who remained and did not lay down their weapons would be destroyed" and "it would be foolish to think otherwise"? Remember how you were sure there would be a parade in Russian controlled Kyiv on victory day? Remember how during all of this, Putin made a new law making it illegal to even call the war a war, because that would imply Ukraine posed some sort of threat to Russian soldiers? Remember what happened after all that? How Russia had to retreat, the flag ship of the Russian Navy was sunk, thousands and thousands of Russian soldiers were killed, and even Russian bloggers imbedded with the military that normally relay the State approved propaganda began criticizing the stupid decisions being made by those in charge? I think that's what he means. I still do not understand. Any good winning strategy must be flexible so as not to depend on any particular tactical setback. Putin certainly has a very good, flexible and winning strategy in Ukraine. Even if events do not develop according to the scenario that you yourself have come up with, and does not fit into the time frame that you have set for yourself. I have already said above and I will repeat now - time works for Russia. Russia can well afford to advance slowly, grinding Ukrainian reinforcements approaching the front with artillery from a safe distance and destroying military equipment supplies from the West. Russia may well allow even to stop the advance completely and spend the winter to look at developments on the economic front - how Europe will react to the shortage of gas and food. A special operation is not a sprint, but a marathon. We're in the second phase of the operation now, and there could be a dozen of them. There is a high probability that the operation will not end in Ukraine and Russia will also have to demilitarize and denazify the Baltic States, Finland and Poland - their rhetoric towards Russia has been very aggressive lately. |

Where did I say Russians or the people of Russia? This is Adolf Putin and the bunch of Psychos that conform his government and the army, not the Russians as such. You are perfectly aware that what I say is true. Moscow never wanted any development in the eastern regions. They get plenty of cheap labour and army cannon fodder and giving these people an opportunity would shift the power balance from Moscow. What did you think? That the rest of the world does not know about how Adolf Putin manages Russia?
Not only I am not Russophobe, but I seem to be the only one here who is trying to let young people in Russia what happens when they sign or are forced to sign into Adolf Piutin's army - They are sent to be grinded and burned. If any of their friends and relatives read this, at least they cannot say they did not know.
Your repeated repetition of the same thought becomes tiresome. It seems this is from the Goebbels manual, that if you lie a hundred times, then the lie becomes the truth? There is no mobilization in Russia, professional soldiers are involved in the operation. There have already been four waves of mobilization in Ukraine, and now the fifth one is underway. Ukrainian men aged 18 to 60 have a difficult choice - to die, go to jail or be captured by Russians. Russian men have a simpler choice, you can continue to live as you lived before. |

I recommend focusing less on the reports of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to avoid painful disappointments. By the way, quite recently you, choking with joy, talked about the American M777 howitzers, and so - they could not withstand the collision with reality and were not combat-ready. The Ukrainians never really managed to shoot accurately from them. |

PS. By the way, a question! It turns out in Russia the genocide of all peoples, except for the "Russians" so to speak? The state language in Russia is Russian? Where is Tatar, where is Hebrew, where is Ukrainian and Udmurt? Pure water genocide is obtained!
Perhaps you will be very surprised, but in Russia 37 languages have the status of a state language. You can give them whatever status, Adolf Putin is a Russian ethnic supremacist that despises all the minorities, which are for the main part excluded from the government ranks and decisions. Not only that, the lowest ranks of troops and the ones that are sent to die in suicide missions are mostly from the eastern regions. The people from Moscow and St Petersburg are underrepresented in the lower ranks and certainly underrepresented in the death toll. Also, the conscription service in Russia excludes precisely the people who have best contacts and more money by simply not recruiting people who can afford to go to University. Those who have the right contacts can join the officer's schools and -believe it or not - are excluded from going directly to conflicts as they are "training". This is how madness inside the madness works in Putin's Reich Tzardom. Already it seems you don’t know what to come up with in your attacks of chronic Russophobia. For some reason, tattoos with a swastika are on the Ukrainian Nazis, and the main villain here is still Putin. |

From June 1, the Government, as part of supporting the population, increased pensions for pensioners by 10% (for the second time in a year, the previous increase was in January) and the minimum wage by 10%, on which the salaries of state employees directly depend.
Well.. as a result of sanctions and embargoes, crude oil is now trading in the $120 per barrel range. And the Russian treasury is getting tens of billions of USD in forex inflows every month. So the government has some room for maneuvering, despite a large part of the reserves being frozen by the west. IMO, they should take care of the massive decrease in the population first. A decade ago, the government launched certain incentives (maternity capital) for parents who are having their second or third child. I am not hearing about this nowadays. The family support program continues to operate and even expanded, now maternity capital in Russia is also provided for the birth of the first child. |

Inflation was brought under control and the ruble was deflated last week. Therefore, the Central Bank of Russia took measures to weaken the ruble - lowered the key rate, and also reduced the limit on the mandatory sale of exporters of foreign exchange earnings from 80 to 50 percent and increased the sale period from 90 to 120 days.
Prices in stores rose from the initial sanctions shock, then stabilized and even crept down. Gasoline in Russia has fallen in price since the beginning of the operation, the prices for utilities have not changed. There are no empty shelves in grocery stores. In general, hunger riots do not threaten Russia.
Sounds nice. And probably in theory or in other countries it works like that. Then a couple more questions. - why the prices for products do not decrease, and moreover - grow. For example, the network "Mir Vkusa", in Moscow, I know for sure that revaluation is carried out almost daily, and all products are only getting more expensive. This is just a real market example. These are the most expensive grocery stores in Moscow, and maybe in all of Europe, with a focus on uncompromising quality of products. - weakening of the ruble, beneficial to exporters (such as Rosneft and other resource sellers), but categorically not beneficial to importers and the population. Like it or not, but in almost everything, from wrapping materials to flavorings, from consumables to assemblies, Russia imports, which means that everything will be reflected in the cost of mass products. Reflected in the form of price increases. It turns out that they gave preference to Rosneft, shifting the entire burden on their already impoverished population? And there is still a decrease in the volume of hydrocarbon supplies and a decrease in income from these transactions ....
That's right, a weak ruble is beneficial for exporters and disadvantageous for importers. Now the Central Bank of Russia is looking for a comfortable equilibrium rate that suits both. At the same time, he does not have at his disposal the usual levers for managing the exchange rate of the ruble in the form of direct interventions in the foreign exchange market, since his foreign exchange reserves are blocked by sanctions. But it seems that other methods, such as changing the key rate, changing the conditions for the mandatory sale of foreign currency for exporters, and verbal interventions by the head of the Central Bank also work well. From June 1, the Government, as part of supporting the population, increased pensions for pensioners by 10% (for the second time in a year, the previous increase was in January) and the minimum wage by 10%, on which the salaries of state employees directly depend. |

Russian, NATO and US would not be stronger after this war. The world economy was just recovering from Covid-19 pandemic before this invasion began. IMF recently cut growth projection in advanced economies by 1 percentage point to 3 percent in 2022 from January projections. While Russian economy is predicted to shrink by 8.5 percent, and in Ukraine by 35 percent.The point is that this war is very expensive to both parties and the sanctions is also affecting the economies of the two warring groups. Insinuating that that NATO and US will stop financing or supporting Ukraine because of lack of funds is far from the truth. Aids to Ukraine is a combined or coordinated efforts of countries with the most vibrant economies and you cannot compare these economies with a single Russian economy. In fact Russia would soon retreat because they never believed that the war will last this long and their budget for this war is really depreciating. Reconstruction would also affect both parties. Russia would have to rebuild some regions that will be ceded to it (this is one of the price to pay for peace) and NATO and her allies would spend so much on rebuilding Ukraine because that is one of the ways of encouraging refugees to return. China would be the next dominant super power because it is building its economy while others are spending in Ukraine. You don't understand anything about economics. Armed conflict on foreign territory is the best way to solve economic problems. Russia earns a billion euros a day on the export of hydrocarbons to Europe and loads its military-industrial complex with work, disposing of old weapons and ammunition with an expiring date in Ukraine for free. It's better than drug dealing. Then Russia will once again earn on this, restoring what it destroyed in Ukraine. The ideal business, ask the US - they regularly do this, fomenting armed conflicts around the world. |

Unfortunately Russia will remain as a threat for the global peace and security.
Are you seriously? The West has robbed Russia by freezing its money and is now trying to find justifications to confiscate it. As Otto von Bismarck said: Do not expect that once you take advantage of Russia's weakness, you will receive dividends forever. Russians always come for their money. And when they come, do not rely on the Jesuit agreements you have signed that allegedly justify you. They are not worth the paper they are written on. Therefore, it is worth either playing fair with the Russians, or not playing at all. You stepped on the wrong guy's foot, you'll have to pay for it. I'm Russian, I'll take all your Nutella and make you eat shit. This is my plan, try to stop me if you can. |
