On November 30, 1939, Russia, then still part of the Soviet Union, attacked Finland, trying to move the border from Leningrad and create a pro-Soviet puppet government in the country. Soviet military leaders planned to end the war in 20 days and march to Helsinki, giving Stalin a birthday present on December 21. The population of Finland at that time was 3.7 million people, and the USSR was more than 180 million.

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine, ostensibly attempting to push back possible NATO borders while installing a pro-Russian government in Ukraine. Putin planned to end the war in 3-7 days and on May 9 to hold a parade of his troops on Khreshchatyk in Kyiv. But the war has been going on for more than a year and a half, and the successes of the Russians in this war are more than doubtful.

Many researchers and analysts now compare these two wars and find a lot in common, including the fact that these wars were the greatest disgrace for the USSR/Russia and their armies. As in the war against Finland, many Russians now do not know why they are dying in Ukraine, and low morale leaves a big imprint on the results of any wars, largely leveling out the population in the countries of the aggressor and the victim of the attack.

Russia declared its territory not only the Ukrainian Crimean peninsula, but also the Zaporozhye, Kherson, Lugansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine. Moreover, even those territories that were never occupied in this war. Why doesn’t Putin use nuclear weapons, since the Ukrainian Armed Forces are now located in the officially annexed territories of Russia?
Now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are very actively attacking Russian military installations on the territory of Crimea with the help of missiles and drones, periodically conducting landings and openly declaring the imminent liberation of Crimea. Where is the retaliatory nuclear strike?

Never heard of this neither have I come across one. So was it as a goal of marketing domination tussles against Bitcoin and AltCoins? Or could they just be an AI spammed accounts maybe to get the doubt rates of investors on BTC?
I am just curious because I don't  find other necessity reason for that .

I like your perspective, man. It's nice to call anyone who chooses what is more profitable for them a prostitute. So can I call you prostitute? Because as far as I can see, you are advertising sherbet.com instead of your OWN site, serveria.com. I can't blame you because you have chosen what is most profitable for you.

Just because you don't like someone's behavior does not give you the right to insult him or them!

For some reason my inner mind said this to be a winning match for Sinner against Alcaraz and Zverev against Medvedev. One of my prediction have is correct as Sinner fought well and won the first set and it was a very easy win in the second set as the scores were 7⁷-6⁴ 6-1

In the other match Medvedev have won it in a much easier way against Zverev 6-4 6-3
I even placed a multibet and lost it, I should've went for single bet.

I wonder what is the basis for your assertion that it is impossible to defeat a nuclear power, which, as follows from the text, means Russia? Everything happens for the first time. Until the recent attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the port of Russian-occupied Sevastopol, there had never been a case of a missile hitting a submarine. Ukraine has successfully opened such an account.

Do you mean that Russia, with a military defeat from Ukraine, will begin to bomb Ukraine with nuclear strikes or even the whole world? Firstly, Ukraine does not yet intend to seize Russian territory within its internationally recognized borders. That is, Ukraine is not going to attack Russia, but is only defending its independence and territorial integrity. Whatever the outcome, it should be clear to sensible Russians that in this war Russia is attacking, not defending, and therefore the need to use nuclear weapons on a neighboring country, receive nuclear contamination from their own bombs and die from it is completely absurd.

  Secondly, in order to use nuclear weapons, in Russia the president must transmit a code signal to unlock nuclear weapons and thereby authorize their use. This signal is transmitted through a portable nuclear briefcase control system. The Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff have the same devices. The actual possibility of a nuclear strike is feasible if permission comes from all three devices. Then the signal goes to a special service of the General Staff, which, in turn, transmits the order to the specific command in whose location the nuclear forces are located. After this - from the command to the specific officer responsible for the actual launch. In addition, the president is always accompanied by a group of General Staff officers responsible for the “nuclear briefcase.” The chain is long enough, so it seems to be foolproof. On the other hand, if this fool nevertheless decides to use nuclear weapons, will all the military in this chain want to carry out this criminal order and expose themselves, their relatives, loved ones, and so on to the danger of destruction?

As for non-strategic (tactical) nuclear weapons, the chain is even longer. The troops do not have tactical warheads. It must be picked up from a centralized storage warehouse, transported, media prepared, loaded, and military training conducted. It's a long chain, and at every step there may be doubts about whether we really want it. In addition, all this is tracked. US and NATO intelligence will quickly discover this, and NATO has developed, in case of such a danger of using nuclear weapons, a preventive non-nuclear strike, as a result of which any such state will cease to exist within thirty minutes.

  Now some states are simply afraid that as a result of long-term military failures in Ukraine, a wave of protests and centrifugal influences may rise in Russia itself, which in turn could lead to the disintegration of Russia into a number of separate independent state entities and nuclear weapons will fall into the hands of uncontrolled individuals. All other options for the use of nuclear weapons are still unrealistic, even if Russia loses to Ukraine in this war.

Nonetheless, it is still holding Ukrainian territories especially the Crimean peninsula which is a very strategic location in the Black Sea. The effects may not be reflected right away since there are human, structures, and financial losses but in the long term, it is mostly worth it. Just like when the Americans risked and declared war on the Mexicans.

But now Russia is “going to the bottom”, bombarding the Armed Forces of Ukraine with “meat assaults”, having already destroyed more than 50% of its “second army of the world”, its economy, demography, financial system, and having forever lost its partnership with an adequate world.

Crimea does not have any strategic significance - the Black Sea is a closed water area, the entry into which is controlled by a NATO member country, and the entire route “to the world” is also blocked by NATO countries.

After Russia's defeat, it will not be saved; there will be no Marshall Plans for it.

It will become the world's "bottom" for decades and will pay reparations to all countries that previously suffered from it.

I imagine there was a very heated discussion back then, that should be fun and interesting actually compared to many spammers all praising Bitcoins with such useless and ridiculous topic. Other than that, I think it's common for any breakthrough and quite radical stuff to have a group of skeptics and even haters especially at the earlier era.

But I guess Bitcoin has proven them wrong and they finally realize that there is no point spreading FUD about Bitcoin anymore, even if they are still here they will be bullied by millions of users in this forum because almost all of the users in here is pro Bitcoin.

I am certain that Proudhon is reading as I type. On topic no one mentions mindrust. He is kind of negative but he is active . He posted today :

These kind of things are rare but happen sometimes. Back in 2021 Poly Network was hacked for $600M, which hacker eventually returned. In the end they offered him a reward and position of chief secrity advisor. Having said that, I doubt that its gonna happen in this case, but I guess it doesn't hurt to try,

It kind of reminds me a bit of r/Buttcoin, which has been around since time immemorial... They have made names for themselves by being steadfast in their wrongness. I remember I tried to use a source for a bitcoin article I was writing one time and the editor told me, no, the guy from r/Buttcoin wrote that, he's a total chode, you can't use it.

Some other prominent anti-bitcoiners that were once active on the forum:

jonoiv
NotLambChop
RawDog (most likely a troll account)
MemoryDealers (he started turning to the darkside in early 2016, basically by arguing that Bitcoin Classic - later BCH - was the same thing as Bitcoin)

At least one username sticks in my mind. The avatar of another username which I already forgot is still in my memory also.

Sometimes, their presence is needed especially when everybody is unreasonably bullish. For as long as they are also bringing with them some logic, or at least some sense, in their arguments, it doesn't hurt the forum to have them in certain discussions. It provides some good balance, although some of them are probably not really naysayers like Proudhon. He/she certainly owns Bitcoin and is pro-Bitcoin. He/she's just chilling.

They're probably a lot better than many influencers who are always mega-bullish in their TAs as if Bitcoin will just take a straight line to the moon. Many newbies must have been carried away by how they present chart patterns as if something big is always about to come. These FOMO-inciters are probably more damaging to Bitcoin's reputation than some naysayers.

1. you can easily check any fact I have given you. Which is to be expected, I have never been able to do with your fantasies

2.Judging by the people I saw in the rf army in 2022, in the so-called "second army of the world" - they recruit ONLY mentally distant and moral degenerates there:) I don't understand why you don't defend the "brown Russian world" yet
But... you will soon have a great chance "Russia: Vladimir Putin signed a decree on conscription of 130 thousand people into the Russian army".

Sept 29 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree setting out the routine autumn conscription campaign, calling up 130,000 citizens for statutory military service, a document posted on the government website showed on Friday.

All men in Russia are required to do a year-long military service between the ages of 18 and 27, or equivalent training while in higher education.

Sakkari, who breathed a sigh of relief as champion in Guadalajara, continued this form in Tokyo and reached the semifinals without losing a set. Pegula, making her post US Open debut, also came back well from the break and reached the semifinals without losing a set against the likes of Bucsa and Kasatkina. I expect the two racquets, who are well matched on the court, to break the game upper barrier in this match, which they have comfortably surpassed in their last three matches.

A bit of positive news from Russia Smiley

- VTB head predicts the dollar at 250 rubles in the transition to the Chinese model of the currency market
Russia's transition to the Chinese model of the currency market with the introduction of two ruble exchange rates will lead to a sharp decline in the domestic currency, said VTB CEO Andrei Kostin. "If we introduce two ruble exchange rates, we will have one at 150 and the other at 250, that's for sure," Kostin said at the International Banking Forum in Sochi.

- "Gazprom" reported a record in the history of gas production collapse. At the end of the first half of the year, Gazprom's production amounted to 179.45 billion cubic meters, the company said in its quarterly report. Compared to the same period of 2022, the volumes fell by 25%, and if compared to the pre-war period - by almost a third: in January-June 2021, Gazprom produced 260.8 billion cubic meters. Never in the three decades of its history has the world's largest gas company reduced production so rapidly.

- Budget expenditures for Putin's maintenance will be increased by 20%. The maintenance of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the next three years will cost Russian taxpayers 74.7 billion rubles. This amount for the "functioning" of the head of state the government has laid down in the draft federal budget for 2024-26, which was submitted to the State Duma on Friday.

- Russia faces a shortage of black bread. Rye of the first, second and third classes will make up about 97% of the entire harvest, but 59% of this volume will be of the third class, which is a poor quality indicator

- Russian farmers are under the threat of mass bankruptcies after the withdrawal of foreign grain traders. Monopolization of the grain market following the departure of foreign players who left Russia after the outbreak of war in Ukraine has brought thousands of farms to the brink of bankruptcy.
Grain traders are buying grain below the cost of production and this is destroying the economy of farms, a member of the State Duma committee for agrarian issues, Sergey Lisovsky, has said.

Could be private investigators who rather keep their loses private than coming on social media to look like an idiot for keep such funds online in the first place. It was the Mixin safe I guess.
