We demanded India join our economic blockade of Russia. We even threatened sanctions. We put up the iron curtain again and said anyone not with us is against us. Modi called our bluff and refused to take our side. India has substantially stepped up its trade with Russia, buying more oil, selling more weapons. They've aligned on an axis with China and Russia, against the US and EU. We created the fulcrum and forced them to take a side. They might remain a neutral power that stays friendly with us but we've put all the biggest world powers into confederacy against us

Sounds sensational.
Meanwhile Russian Indian trade is a third of US Indian trade.
Modi going to work in the interests of Indian people. They need oil. And Putin needs to sell it dirt cheap.
It's unfortunate that the Russian regime is a revisionist aggressive entity that invades its neighbours.

When there is a run on the dollar, I'll take you seriously.

Until then fuck around and find out.

Russia has already bankrupted several times.
Russia has not that many people any longer, but still it might run out of cash or equipment first.

Are you scared Russia might win?

You seem to be very invested in this conflict despite having no skin in the game.

Are you scared Russia never "wins" and its degenerate eldery governement to slowly fade away along with russian economy (publishing "official russian gov data" would be clownish)

Then all those who collaborated with the regime and their families never forgotten because since few decades humanity has something called "databases"...

Enjoying it.

You sound scared. Don’t be.

Define victory. Is it all of Ukraine? Just the Donbas? Kherson is in the constitution as a Russian Oblast, Kherson too?
Buffer zone in Kharkiv?
No Ukraine in NATO? Because that will happen if the war "ends".

Maybe its half a million or a million Russian lives for 15% of the poorest nation on the continent.
If thats "winning" damned if we know what losing looks like.

Being verbose and imprecise betrays unfocused mind and fear of the inevitable. Don’t be scared.

Russia has already lost several times, more ruskies soldiers have been killed than the population of the country several times over and moscow is nothing but irradiated glass. Ukraine pushed Russia out of its borders, reclaimed all its territory and seized all of Russia from Kaliningrad to the Pacific. How much more losing can Russia take?
