What is Really Going on with Russia

a reply to: MidnightWatcher

Ukraine Will Lose 20 Percent of it's Territory to Russia . That is just a Fact of Life even if they Continue to Fight .

a reply to: BigfootNZ


The Russia Republic Holds All the High Cards here . They Could Squeeze Western Europe Until they Freeze to Death from Their Obvious Weaknesses of Self Sufficient Energy Sources , and along with their Insufficient Imports from Friendly Nations within their Borders for this Predicted " Harsh Winter or 2023 " , and They Will Finally Relent to the Inevitable and Give Ukraine as Tribute . Do I Project Too Much there > ?

Looks like it's in the works.

Russian President Vladimir Putin may announce the accession of occupied Ukrainian territory to the Russian Federation during a speech to both houses of parliament later this week.

Lets' bring this conflict to an end. Or let it be solely between Russia and Ukraine...with no more "help" from the United States. If other countries want to stay minimally involved, as they have been, that's up to them.

Russia and the U.S. CAN BE Best Buds in the Next 10 Years IF they Chose to . All it Will take is Outright Honesty in Negotiations Concerning Economics and Military Cooperation Between these Two MOST Powerful Nations On Earth IMO .

You are Absolutely Right there . What Was I Thinking Henry Alfred Kissinger's FUTURE Ghost ? .............Ah , NOT !

Honesty from Russia? Not with this regime.

The mobilization consrcipts will be untrained unequipped unfed mine-finders. This is just horror. Win or lose, Russia is losing a generation.

a reply to: TheBoomersRBusted

You just have to be " Future Minded " in Geopolitics . Many Variables to Calculate and Consider Before a Predicted Course can be Determined . Putin's Life Expectancy and the Law of Standard Deviations is also a Tool of Most Political Scientists , and the Percentage of Correct Predictions they Might Hazard to Make is Always " " at Best No More than Theoretical......

Another Metaphor ..........


Yo Man , I REALLY Like Your CURRENT Girlfriend , How you Stand with Her Right Now Bro , Is That a Problem ?

There are three hundred thousand troops massed on the border ready to go into the newly joined regions, with massive amounts of planes, in preparation for the Donetsk region to join greater Russia. If Ukraine attacks the Donetsk region Kyiv will be declared a terrorist regime along with its support network. Whats NATO going to do?

What is going in Russia? right now is panic among the young generation and they are fighting back, many are trying to escape to other countries, leaving Russia with families.

Some describe the situation as "a horror movie utopia", that's how bad things has gone for Russian citizens.

a reply to: JAGStorm

Peace Through Strength . The Russian Federation Inherited this Philosophy from the Old Soviet Union Today . What Makes You Think they do not Believe it Still ? What Happens to them Once Mr. Putin Finally Meets his Maker ? They Will Survive , as We All Will..........

The young generation do not want to join the military to fight, most change in communist countries starts no with the old but the young.

It may be changes in Russia but will be at the cost of many lives.
