bring on the bash

but does anyone consider the energy crisis as we ride the decline of peak oil? US pulls out of afghan and russia moves closer to the middle east? my hunch tells me once ukraine is in russian control they will continue to march south and soon be battling china for middle eastern oil....

Please PLEASE let russia start fighting china after this momumental failure.

Russia would be destroyed by china in a day.. russias proven their “superpower army” is a joke… their economy is the size of Texas.. their only contribution to the world is oil.. china has a superior army/economy/technology/everything than Russia.. would be over in no time (assuming no nukes involved) .. something tells me china probably has some rather advanced counters to nukes by now though.. the u.s might as well but who knows.. not exactly stuff they’re gunna publicly tell people about haha

All the last few days has proven is that Russia still thinks it’s the 1950s with the lack of intelligence and embarrassing attempts at spreading propaganda in an age of technology

Eating crow here I didnt think Russia would invade I was wrong

They are not permitted to post their feelings unless told to by pundits

But see I respect that(not that you need the respect of an idiot on a forum). The world is a scary place and shit is becoming unpredictable at times.

I predicted the annexation of Crimea and I predicted the war on Ukraine. But I'm unable to make predictions on what happens next. Shit is too messy now. Russia very much has a right to defend itself but we are now at a point where defence of Russia involves a lot more than just simple military pieces on the board. The inaction of China speaks volumes on how far China is willing to go.

If I was forced to make a prediction at gun point I would have to say that Russia will liberate Donbass and Lugansk, and keep Crimea. But it will not topple the government of Ukraine. And there's a non-zero chance the remainder of Ukraine will be fast-tracked into NATO, as well as Sweden and Finland. Overall Russia will be worse off than it was, but it will gain the security buffer it desires to have. Though the value of that buffer is questionable.

This largely depends on how willing the EU and NATO are to relieve sanctions if Russia satisfies itself with the above, as well as the China wildcard. If there is no willingness in the West to de-escalate, then Russia will likely take the entire country and install a puppet government. It really has nothing else to lose and while there isn't much to gain there is some gain to be had. Unless China tells them straight up that is unacceptable, but unless something drastic happens I don't think China will involve itself.

can you predictate your next shitmulti ?

Predicate doesn't mean what you think it does.
I have never multi'd anywhere on the net. I am not some little kid who thinks popularity of an opinion matters to my opinion. I don't care if 8 billion people disagree with me. I'm still right.

China has pretty much said it is unacceptable already I thought with them demanding both sides “Search for peace and stop fighting.).
