Putin:“Conflict with Ukraine is nearing its end.”
>>534772040So he finally admits defeat
>>534772040He's toast, russia throwing in the towel.
I've noticed a lot of russian milbloggers very openly criticizing him lately, which is something that is normally verbooten in russia.
2 more weeks!
>>534772209>“Conflict with Ukraine is nearing its end.”March 21st 2022
>>534772040>Russia has paused trilateral talks with Ukraine and the United States, with no agreement reached on the next round, the Kremlin said.why is op a memeflaggot?
>>534772282Even his most loyal shills cant defend how hard he's fucked up the war.
>the gloves are on
>>534772040its zover
>>534772509FIRMLY STRAPPED
>>534772040Yeah, he said that 4 years ago
>>534772040STINKY STATUS?
>>534772609no way, four years already?damn, time really does fly when you're having fun.
>>534772040>nearing its endSo approximately 2 more weeks?
>>534772282Milbloggers want flashy battlefield victories. They don't care about the economy or other matters.
>>534772940Well Putin definitely can't deliver flashy battlefield victories, but the main thing they're seething about is indeed the economy and how he can't stop Ukraine from blowing shit up in Russia every day.
>>534773075rusnigger bros?
>>534773075Russia is already spending 7% of GDP on the military. Russia's economy would be in a worse state if Russia spent more on the military. Indeed, overspending on the military leading to inflation leading to high interest rates is the main reason for Russia's current economic downturn.Russia might not be able to maintain a hermetic seal against enemy drones, but they seem to be doing a quite decent job of mitigating the damage (for example picrel).
>>534772903exactly two weeks
>>534772040Him and his butt girlfriend trump have been repeating this same shit at each other for two years already.
>>534773456>they seem to be doing a quite decent job of mitigating the damageyeah okay sure
>>534773456
>>534773075yeah its crazy how putin just lets them rape russia on the daily and does nothing but meekly ask for permission to have a paradegrim for rusbros
>>534772040Ukraines going to refuse a peace deal, they are in a position to take all their land back. The last 2 weeks is pure losses for Russia.
>>534772609He didn't.
>>534772708liberated
>>534773656> they are in a position to take all their land back
>>534773456Theyre spending more than 7% on the military, but only 7% on military expenses. The entire economy is geared to support that 7%. Its probably more like 30-40% is positioned just to fulfill the 7%s needs.
>>534773543It's what the available data seems to show.People see videos of large fires and think this must mean major damage. However, this is not necessarily the case. For example, a strike on a storage tank or pipe might cause a large fire and lots of smoke, but such damage is not hard to repair or circumvent.Ukraine has been attacking Russian oil infrastructure for almost four years, since June 2022. Sure, the pace seems to have picked up over time, but the attacks still seem to be insufficient to overwhelm system resilience and repair capability, which is necessary in order to cause major economic consequences.
>>534773742https://www.youtube.com/@RFU/videoshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAW14EQ9yZsUkraine sells 50 billion of its weapons to the US. 11 days ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV3Gj_dVqTAUkrainians push hard: Russians retreat in all 3 directions - 3 days ago, for example. Theres a lot more.
>>534773863>It's what the available data seems to show.So russia's strategy now is to get lucky and hope for minor damage since they can't stop the drones?
>>534773894>>534773742https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot3LA8ObxwcChechens never saw it coming: Worst single-day losses since the 2nd Chechen war2 days ago, this ones spicy. They got betrayed and massacred.
>>534773075>but the main thing they're seething about is indeed the economy and how he can't stop Ukraine from blowing shit up in Russia every day.Kek. That's the same situation as trump with his war.
>>534774006silence albanian
Russia is being pummeled and set back decades economically. Ukraine can keep this up indefinitely. Russia, even if they withdrew today, is basically fucked. They're now an Asian country banned from Europe and European markets, a vassal of China.
>>534773749The 7% is the sum of all value-adding activity in support of the military. That includes the MoD, the MoD's contractors, the subcontractors, the suppliers, the shop at which Ivan the drone builder buys his groceries, etc.
>>534774006>>534773075>NoooOOoooOoooO you're not allowed to strike targets on the soil of the country that invaded your country>you're just NOT okay?!
>>534772040He is being whiny because he had to rely on Trump to not get his little parade bombed.
>>534773940Time is on their side, even if they are only winning slowly. The rise in oil prices has given them economic relief. Putin's biggest problem is the population's war weariness.>>534774040Oh come on, nafo migger. It's exactly the same situation. Iran has you by the balls because of its attack capabilities against shipping and the GCC. Oh, it's not exactly the same situation, since putin doesn't have to cowardly flee into a ceasefire.
>>534773742Apparently Ukies started to put the Flamingos to proper use. I still would prefer they would wreck that oil pipeline crossroad that has like 7 lines in one place.
putler knows trump is the best deal he will ever get, also russian economy is a shambles
>>534773940I don't think it's a matter of hoping to get lucky. Since Russia can't stop every attack against every target, I assume the Russians try to make calculated decisions, allocating the most air defenses to the most critical and hard-to-repair targets, then try to mitigate or repair the damage to the rest. Will it work for them in the long run? It remains to be seen.
>>534774131Where did I say they can't do that? Terrorism is always a fairly successful strategy. But russia is known for killing terrorists along with all civilians in the building. So let's see how they react if this continues.
Pipa, the results
>>534772040pretty sure he said that two weeks into the conflict.
>>534773555There's nothing he can do except striking at the countries that supply Ukraine with money, satellite data and drone/missile components. If he plans to do that, then he probably wants time to stock up on Oreshnik missiles first.
>>534774084It doesnt include the steel mills and mines and production that get fed into it. See>Economics of National Security: Analyzing the Costs of DefenseBy Olvey. Its a west point textbook from the 80s. In it you will find out why Europe is retarded for not having boosted steel production like Trump did, years ago. Even 1 plant isnt enough. It takes years to build the economy you need, to begin building a military or sizing it up. 7% means 40%.
>>534774669He can send trucks to Iran to maintain the strait blockade. And pay for it with rising oil prices. Win-win. Kek
To spend 7% on the military it takes multiple times more in the design of your economy itself. Its 7% plus 25, 30%. Rough estimates.
>>534774264lmao>>534774354if they can't stop them, all they can do it hope to get lucky
>>534773656Nigga you're a single celled organism, you cannot be this delusional.
>>534774908>lmaoSuch a late reply and that's all you have, nafo migger sister?
>>534774925If I was delusional Putin wouldnt be talking about ending the war. Youre the delusional ones. You can kiss my feet when your economy collapses afterwards btw. Youre going to be paying reparations to Ukraine at this rate.
>>534774758Suppliers' are included in the 7% because because they are paid. Suppliers' suppliers are also included because they get paid by the suppliers using money that the suppliers were paid. That's how GDP and value-added works.
And as I pointed out, Ukraine isnt hard up for money. They are a world leader in weapons technology and the US just gave them 50 billion in purchases as I said. >>534773894
>>534774925>you cannot be this delusionalThey can. That's why they'll lose everything if putin acts cleverly. If the strait isn't open by june, any western support for ukraine will be gone.
>>534775041>Combined Security Spending: When you include "National Security" (which covers the Interior Ministry, FSB, and National Guard), the total rises to about 16.8 trillion rubles, or roughly 38% of the entire federal budget.You think I pull 40% out of my ass, it was an estimate yes. Turns out it was nearly exactly correct.
>>534772040>3-day Special Military Operation Withdrawal
>>534774965lol
>>534775045This money isn't even enough to pay the interest on your debts, let alone keep your state running.
Unironically why did they give Russia a ceasefire?
>>534775171>lolYes, nafo migger sister. This is my thread now, and you can't do anything about it. Bow down to my superiority.
>>534775220They didn't really. Trump and putin declared it unilaterally, and ukraine broke it on the first day.
>>534775195You eat that slop up dont you, China isnt going to be paid back and investors wont consider it indicative of insolvency since its a hostile power.
>>534772209>>534772218Yeah totally, gaining more land than the island of Britain is a loss now nigga?Y'all couldn't even blockade a strait.It's a fucking line you're struggling with.
>>534775248kek
>>534773894In the middle of a ceasefire... This nigga.. lmfaooRetarded ass E1 goblin
>>534775325This is a brown pajeet btw.
>>534775326Your entire national budget is currently being paid directly by the EU. If the strait isn't open by june, you'll eat dirt.
>>534772040two more weeks, dare i say
>>534775383There is no ceasefire. Russia begged for one on victory day, and then launched Missiles. Ukraine then said if you have a peaceful day it will only be because we decided. Aka no, no ceasefire. Youre so weak and pathetic.
>>534775150>roughly 38% of the entire federal budgetSo? The federal budget is only a fraction of government spending, which in turn is only a fraction of GDP. Also, internal security and policing isn't military.The 7% number comes from SIPRI and is for the year 2024. I just looked up the 2025 number which was recently published; it is 7.5%.https://www.sipri.org/publications/2026/sipri-insights-peace-and-security/budget-fifth-year-war-military-spending-russias-budget-2026
>>534772040monke lost12 years of war for 50km of landTZD death to Victoria Nuland the amerikike that started it all.
>>534775001The shit you're spouting doesn't even make any sense lmao. I know you're a fangirl for zelensky and have pompoms out whenever critical infrastructures intercept ballistic missiles but this is retarded. Nigga in a ceasefire you're touting retreat > advance for ukraine. You need to stop slurping milblogger slop but I know you don't because you're some glow in the dark faggot trying to manufacture consensus.
>>534775327>the apocalyptic hellscape of donbabwe (that they already owned half of) and a train line to crimeaYes, but by annexing the donbas he's removed the two oblasts that actually gave Russia political influence on Ukraine. Under prior agreements he could basically veto Ukraine joining the EU or signing any EU-adjacent treaties (EFTA etc) through trojan horse representatives in Donetsk and Luhansk. Now he can't.
>So? The federal budget is only a fraction of government spending, which in turn is only a fraction of GDPBrown.
>>534775128Yea I don't know if these are real people. They are consensus cracking faggots from some airbase. Since they can't achieve their objectives they just get paid money to pretend they are.
Putin was talking to Trump recently they're probably just making a deal (again)
Did the N-mobile make it to the end?
>>534772310Putin says he wants our former chancellor - known in Germany as “Gas Gerd” for organizing cheap gas imports from Russia in the early 2000s - to take on the role of mediator.A huge L for Trump, and cheap gas for us again soon. Kek
>>534772040Any source links?I want to read/hear it myself.
>>534775544Im not your nigger brownoid.
>>534775726Following the news of the last few days about the state of the german economy, merz has the choice between a gallows or begging putin to open the remaining strand of NS2.
>>534775848Germany needs Russia's cheap gas; Russia needs to diversify its exports.If you have only one customer, like China, they dictate the prices.The Russians know that, and so do we.And Russia's economy is in just as bad a shape as ours.Maybe something good will come of it, like the partition of Poland. I'm all for it.
>>534775685All the vehicles that survived so far were at the parade.Was it at the parade?
>>534776185I have always believed that germany and russia should share a border. That is God's will.
>>534772040monke is ready to stab in the back his own army and the entire Russia. There is a non zero chance he is removed by a military coup for good. I can't imagine he can surrender with those who have suffered at the front for 4 years letting him doing that. I hate monke so much it's unreal.
>>534773656Were you as retarded before you took the covidiot piss down your veins or is this a side effect ?Being dropped on your head at your Bar Mitzvah left a print
>>534776411Do you think he made a deal with trump? I thought so last time, but I was wrong, which is why I've become more cautious about condemning putin.
>>534776185China has multiple independent "teapot" refineries that are allowed to compete with each other for Russian oil. There is still a discount due to the reduced number of buyers and the complications of sanctions avoidance, however there is no monopsony like you seem to imply. Neither is there a monopsony for LNG.There is a monopsony in the gas pipeline negotiations. This is because a pipeline is such a large piece of infrastructure, state-owned CNPC is the only counterparty.
>>534776688Right, but the pipeline deals are the foundation of your budget. To use a metaphor, the pipelines are like nuclear power plants, while oil sales are like solar and wind power. kek
>>534772040I feel like the recent EU package to fund Ukraine’s defense over the next years is what might have finally made him lose the last bit of hope that this war was winnable for him.The EU is committed to support Ukraine as long as needed and Russia would only continue to lose as long as this continues.
>>534777310I heard some theories at the start of the war that his plan was basically to wait until the western public grew tired of the war and would pressure politicians to stop it because of how much it costs them. I think he genuinely underestimated the actual scale of the NATO economies and the fact that when the public grows bored of a war that western elites get to do practically anything they want because there's no longer any input from the public either for or against, hence why Iraq and Afghanistan kept going for so long. They just stop watching it and blame the economy problems on things like AI, money printing, everything being a scam, etc. not the fact that the government is sending aid to Ukraine.
>>534777310He probably figured out that the SMO was not going to meet its goals a long time ago and is just trying to work towards a conclusion that can be framed as a success. Demilitarization and denazification aren't going to happen, and neither are Kherson, Odessa and so on, but if they can at least get the Donbas then maybe the propaganda machine could spin the SMO into an incredible victory that makes Vlad one of the great czars of Russia that future generations will all look up to for centuries.
>>534776529his problem is to give back his kremlinoid clique the properties and lifestyle of before 2014. That's all. He is forced to do the interest of Russia once in a while but just the bare minimum for not being ousted by a coup. I don't know if he will be able to get away with this pyrrhic victory but actual strategic defeat tho. I hope he is couped and a military/nationalist government is put in place in russia.
>>534777682>his plan was basically to wait until the western public grew tired of the war and would pressure politicians to stop itYes that was also the propaganda his shills pushed. The message they ran was always "why would you want your money be given to Ukraine".The thing is, my country was occupied by russia and i know what happened to my people when the russians came. The EU spends money on all kinds of stupid shit, the freedom of Ukrainians is well worth it for me.
>>534775770Nigger
>>534776185not as long as us ermercian miltiary bases are on the european continent
>>534772040What an utterly humiliating episode for everyone involved.It's like if Argentina had invaded the Falklands, the random villagers of Stanley managed to repel the Argentine Army with rocks and random surplus hunting rifles, leading to a siege that lasts for 5 years whilst the navies of Argentina and England continually got lost, sunk or just did nothing.
>>534775428EU is never gonna give up in Ukraine, sorry, but it's just not going to happen so you might as well go back and get it over with Hivan.
