I've had a passing interest in Russian language and culture for many years. It started with exposure to Russian folk music. I thought the alphabet was cool. I learned a few words. And years later I am now actively learning Russian because I would like to visit Moscow and Saint Petersburg and see all the historical attractions, reading everything in the native language. I've just grown to like Russia and it's people over time. That's all. It's not even a political thing for me.

Wrong. Marginal tactical/territorial gain was NOT the pre war stated strategic goal of the 3 days SMO.Russia will never regime change kiev. That was one of their strategic goals. They will achieve NONE of their strategic goals. So they are fated to lose.

Your misunderstanding comes from not understanding the different levels of warfare, ie, tactical/operational/strategic. The US is said to have "lost" the afhanistan war because they didn't achieve their STRATEGIC goals. Tactically/operationally, they defeated the taliban when they took the capital city of kabul and regime changed the taliban, in Nov 2001. The taliban never it back by force. the US left for strategic reasons, ie, Biden pulled out for political reasons of the war not being popular. This would be like russia taking kiev, then after a while, going,
>fuck it, lets split.
Russia can't, and won't ever take kiev.

The stated and deduced objectives included:
>Regime Change: The primary political goal was to replace the government in Kyiv with a new, pro-Russian administration, creating a politically aligned and dependent state.
>"Demilitarization": The destruction of Ukraine's military infrastructure, air force, and anti-aircraft defenses, and the prohibition of nuclear weapons, or advanced weaponry on its territory.
>"Denazification": Eradication of anti-Russian ideology, legislative changes to abolish perceived discriminatory laws, and the prohibition of nationalist groups.
>Neutral Status: Forcing a constitutional amendment committing Ukraine to neutrality, prohibiting participation in NATO or the EU.
>Recognition of Territorial Claims: Official recognition of the occupied Crimea as Russian territory and the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics (DPR/LPR).
>Preventive Security Strategy: Preventing the expansion of NATO military infrastructure in Ukraine and reducing the threat of an, in their view, inevitable conflict

There's a difference between winning a war and winning the peace. The real problem Russia is facing is that it is trying to fight this war in such a manner that it wins the peace.

Thus the real question is, how does Russia win the peace? What is Russia actually hoping to accomplish?
>>
>>537318930
The US didn't get de-industrialized by having their it's crude oil/petrochemical enterprise destroyed like russia is having done. The US became more energy DOMINANT because of the iran situation. Many asian countries, for instance, pivoted to US energy sources.

Also, russia has been irreprably demographically damaged of their fighting age Euro-gened males, which didn't happen to the US. As well, Russia lost IMMENSE amounts of military materiel, as well as defense industrial base capacity. So many defense industrial base facilities have been hit, it's hard to keep track. In terms of military materiel, for instance, during operation spider web, the AFU took out a good % of Russia's irreplacible strategic bombers. And they have lost strategic bombers in other incidents. The US didn't come close to having something like a B 2 stealth strategic bomber.

Russia has lost between 35 and 50 Su-34 for another example.
>>
>>537322401

Every refinery gets repaired quick, nafo troon. These attacks have zero effect on the Russia military.
>>
>>537322475
About half of this is true.

1) The problem with US energy is that it will run out. Oil-production was cratering until the fracking revolution. But the current boom cannot last much longer. We do have a lot of natural gas though. If we're going to fight WWIII, we need to do it within the next five years or we're fucked.

2) Russia is losing far more whites from below-replacement fertility than from war.

3) Russia has essentially unlimited natural resources. It's only true limitation is manpower. Thus, the only losses for Russia that really matter are men.

>The Pentagon has seen no evidence that Ukrainian strikes on Russian civilian infrastructure have reduced Moscow’s military capability, a senior defense official told American lawmakers on Wednesday.

>Since January, Ukraine has launched over a dozen long-range attacks on Russian energy facilities, including oil depots and refineries, using kamikaze drones to damage several targets. Celeste Wallander, the US Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, was asked about the tactics and Washington’s concerns regarding them, during a congressional hearing.

>Responding to Representative Carlos Gimenez, the Pentagon official said that “so far” the approach did not seem to have affected the Russian military.

>“The strikes that we have seen against Russian energy sources have not significantly altered Russia’s ability to prosecute the war,” she said.

>“The evidence we’ve seen is that the Russians have been able to rapidly repair the facilities that were struck,” she added, when the Democratic representative from Florida asked whether such attacks could have a greater impact in the future.

Yes, retard. That's the Tragedy of Great Power Politics. Hitler was also acting preemptively.

Perhaps some of the greatest neo-con revisionist cope I've ever seen involving Afghanistan in months.

The US failed to take control of the country in a meaningful way (i.e. turning it into a Western satellite state like Iraq) and was unable to control the country despite occupying it, yet you conflate these two modes of "rule". The reality is that the US failed in Afghanistan in a manner no different than how it failed in Vietnam, and the only people who benefited were the MIC, the metastatic tumor of America, along with ZOG.

The US does not have a single base in Afghanistan, Afghanistan is not its proxy state, and it fully failed to reach any lasting objective there. You do not waste trillions of dollars on an operation like that and use this insane cope of "fuck it, let's split" and call that a victory; that's cutting your LOSSES, you dumb fucking nigger.

But hey, you don't have to believe me; go do a modicum of research and look at the myriad reports of our own command openly admitting ex post facto that they were stringing the American public, as well as politicians, along with blatantly exaggerated reports of how well the war was going for the US for years because no one wanted to own up to the stark reality of what a strategic failure it had become.

It was a 2019 study, retard. It's literally the reason we sent Javelin missiles to Ukraine, and why Trump got impeached the first time. It was the imposition of these policies that created the impetus for Russia to invade. Had it not been for these recommendations, there would have been no war.

Furthermore, the entire RAND study, and US foreign-policy, has long been about forcing Russia into an arms-race to keep it poor, and thus to destabilize the Russian political system in preparation for a Kiev-style coup(see Color Revolution).

That's the reason we wanted NATO expansion, and that's why we unilaterally pulled out of arms-control agreements. We wanted to put as much pressure on Russia as possible(see Mearsheimer security-dilemma) until they collapsed or surrendered.

As the report says, we simply do not give a fuck how many Ukrainians die in the process.

The data was polling from 2015. But the report was from 2019. The polling from 2015 was probably more hostile to Russia than polling from 2019 because in 2015 there was still major fighting in the Donbas. By 2019 most people had forgotten about it. Which is why such polling didn't exist, or was excluded.

Regardless, what the fuck is your point? You claimed the war was random. It wasn't. It was a response to what America was doing.

Ukraine is not Finland you fucking moron. In the first place, 30-40% of Ukrainians are essentially Russians. Crimea is home to the Black Sea Fleet and almost entirely Russian. Moreover, Ukraine is open steppe-lands that are impossible to defend, contiguous with continental Europe, with a population 10x larger.

Russians were essentially between 16-33% of Ukraine's total population which at one time was more than 50 million. So we're talking about 7 to 15 million who would have been forcefully Ukrainianized or expelled. Those who stayed behind would have been used against Russia, just as they are now.

Russia is an autocracy. Putin doesn't need excuses to escalate the war. If you haven't noticed, he's actually already escalated it just about as far as it can go. The only real further escalation he has is nukes... but China says no.

People talk as if Russia is just waiting to turn loose the "real" war -- to muster the steppe hordes and unleash its full power, or whatever. In reality, Russia already can't train, equip, and supply the troops it already has.

It's not WWII anymore. Ukraine is getting satellite imagery of Russian movements. The entire front line is under constant drone surveillance. The sad reality for Russia is that it is already fully escalated.

East Germany is not Novorossiya or Crimea, retard. How do you think Ukraine came into existence? Tell me about Volhynia, Transcarpathia, Bessarabia, Crimea, etc. Why do you think Ukraine is so adamant about "territorial integrity"?

It's a fake country with fake borders created by literal communists.

So how many East Germans speak Russian? Why aren't you kvetching about the de-Russification of East Germany? How about in Poland, or Estonia, or Latvia, or Lithuania? Why isn't Putin trying to "settle the score" with all of these nations?
>>
>>537319230
I don't know what, if anything, Putin will do. Ukraine has had similar attacks inside Russia, but it's usually on infrastructure or an assassination attempt on a leader. Russia sometimes will respond by killing more men on the battlefield, but they don't really do much more than that. With Putin in charge I don't see why he would escalate now even though it looks really bad. He's taken so much and has yet to really respond.

I don't know if Russia can, but they should send a non-lethal threat to the EU. Maybe something like flying a fighter jet over Berlin and London and dropping a beach ball. It would humiliate the EU and they would have to either escalate over something non-lethal or acknowledge that maybe they are taking this too far.

This war happened for a very simple strategic calculus. The US would go to war with Mexico if Mexico was about to host Chinese nuclear missiles on the Rio Grande. Israel would go to war with Egypt if Egypt allowed Iran to build missile cities in the Sinai. China would go to war with Taiwan if Taiwan allowed the US to harbor its fleet there.
The US willingly allowed the eastward expansion of its empire. Ukraine was a red line for another empire, Russia. When Russia felt that it had lost the chance to keep Ukraine neutral by diplomacy, it invaded.

What the United States wanted to do was encircle Russia and create as many security threats as possible to force them into an arms-race they couldn't win. Yet, would keep them poor and unstable.

Why do you think we wanted NATO in Georgia so badly? Because they're white? Get fucking real. It's the same containment/encirclement strategy we had during the Cold War. But also to isolate them from Iran. Which is also why we tried to take Central Asia(see Afghanistan). To keep China and Russia out, and to prevent anything like the Belt-and-Road Initiative from forming. Which could break our potential to blockade the South China Sea.

This was all part of what was essentially the Wolfowitz Doctrine strategy of permanent US global hegemony. Brzezinski wanted what he called "American primacy" across all of Eurasia.

The point is, Russia was essentially forced to protect itself. That's what this war is about.

Thus the questions raised are....

1) Would it be a good thing if Russia was defeated? For who?

2) Can Russia be defeated? At what cost?

Are your retarded? Jewish oligarchs are literally funding far-right retards in Ukraine, and in other parts of Europe, to fight the Russians. Ostensibly because being pro-white and pro-European means you have to be anti-Russia since Hitler was. Basically, Jewish oligarch need people to fight, and right-wingers and radicals are the best fighters.

It's the same reason Jews funded ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Right-Sector and Azov are literally just white ISIS, and they're being used by the same people for the same person.

You're just another retard peddling propaganda that was debunked before you were even born. Post-Soviet republics were largely harmed by the breakup

"This paper examines the magnitude of direct transfers between the former Soviet Union central buget and individual republics. It shows that Kazakhstan and Central Asian republics were primary recipients of large net transfers of funds from the Soviet central budget amounting in some cases to about ten percent of their GNP. On the contrary, Russia was the single largest net donor of funds to the Soviet central budget through more transfers paid to the union budget than received from it, both in rouble terms and as a share of the GNP.

With the dissolution of the central budget in November 1991, these transfers were discontinued. This has caused a dent in fiscal budgets and a large negative income shock in recipient republics. To some extent, external saving is suggested as the way to ease up the burden of the loss of income induced by the collapse of the fiscal system and the system of direct transfers within the former Soviet Union."

A useful-idiot is someone who believes he is fighting for something he isn't. For example, Ukraine believes they are fighting for sovereignty. They are actually fighting to join the EU(money). Many Ukrainians think they are fighting for the white race. No. They're fighting for US hegemony. Which means they're fighting for mass-migration and white-genocide.

Russia at least understands what it's fighting for. Ukrainians are total and absolute retards.

That's only been a recent development. During the period of "unipolarity", America pretty much did whatever it wanted and no one could stop us.

Just think of sanctions. We can sanction you, you cannot sanction us, and even if you try, we will destroy you. We control the world's most powerful Navy. We control the world's resources. We could have destroyed Europe any time we wanted. Europe is a US dependency. It needs US financial markets, US buying power, US protection, and US resources. We were the ones who bailed-out Europe during the financial crisis(see Deutsche Bank). The only power our vassals have is in cozying up to our enemies and leveraging that competition to their advantage.

Which is precisely what Germany tried to do vis-a-vis Russia and the Nordstream pipeline. Which is why we destroyed it. We could likewise destroy Ukraine any time we want. And they know this, which is why Ukraine's entire political system is essentially run by the CIA. They give us whatever we want, and throw themselves into perpetual debt, because they have no choice.

In the 90's, retard. After the Soviet Union collapsed and we were the only remaining superpower or even great power left on the planet. This is often called "unipolarity" as opposed to "bipolarity" during the Cold War when the Soviets were powerful enough to check us.

Our power has steadily declined since around the time Putin came to power. Although mostly it has to do with the rise of China. If there was no China, we could crush Russia and essentially rule forever.

Instead, Xi Jinping tells Trump to his face that America is a declining shithole and Trump stands there like a retard then loses the Iran War.

I'm not saying America was all-powerful and could do literally anything it wanted. But it certainly wasn't "pressured" by anyone to do something it didn't want to do. At most it couldn't always do what it wanted to do.

No, what Ukraine has always wanted was money. That's its only driving motivation. Everything else is just a dialectic to convince retards to fight a war.

Btw, that's not unique to Ukraine. That's pretty much everywhere. Do you actually think the Jewish oligarchs in Ukraine care about such nonsensical abstractions? Do you think Kolomoisky or fucking Zelensky give a fuck about preserving the fucking Ukrainian language or what the fuck ever. You're trying to ascribe positive motives that don't actually exist. Maybe among a few romantics, but for 99% it is really pure self-interest.

>Ukraine gains nothing from bending the knee, just as Belarus gained nothing.
Well, that's a complicated topic, but suffice to say, Europe has been the beneficiary of America's global predominance, both militarily and economically. It was the buying-power of the US dollar, combined with American resources and the American military that subsidized Europe. The reason Europe is in decline, is because America can no longer afford to prop Europe up.

Eventually, Russia will be richer than Europe because Russia has resources, and America is going bankrupt. This is why America has been so reckless in recent years. We're desperate.

>Ukraine being independent and a member of NATO and the EU is better than not.
It's not "independent". Just "independent of Russia". Ukraine can never be independent. Nor does want to be. It actually wants to be ruled by Washington/Brussells for gibs. And while it cries about Russian, it will speak English and adopt our culture and values, just like Eurocucks.

>Africa
Africa doesn't have as many as you think, but even to the extent they have them, they are not centralized, and their governments are constantly in a state of civil war.

>By the way, Africa has a lot of resources as well. What's holding them back
Ukraine

>A Ukrainian parliamentary inquiry concluded that between 1992 and 1998, Ukraine lost $32 billion in military assets, in part through theft, discount arms sales and lack of oversight. (In comparison, Ukraine's spending on legal arms for defense in 1999 is estimated to have been $500 million.) Many of the missing weapons found their way into the hands of willing buyers in hot spots around the globe, from Sierra Leone to Croatia. And as these arms proliferated, so did evidence of international criminal networks that sold arms from Ukraine in flagrant violation of international sanctions and embargoes.

>Theft and corruption in the military facilitated the flow of illegal weapons from Ukraine. It was also facilitated by forged or falsified end-user certificates, the export documents that are supposed to record the final recipient of an arms shipment. The ease with which arms shipments moved through official channels has led many observers to conclude that prominent Ukrainian officials were involved in the deals. In a 1999 report on Eastern European arms dealing, Human Rights Watch concluded that export-control authorities in the region were accepting arms brokers' documentation without question, either through "complicity or incompetence." Other observers say responsibility goes straight to the top of the Ukrainian government. Writing in The Christian Science Monitor, Ukrainian political scientist Taras Kuzio said, "High-level Ukrainian officials, if not directly dealing arms, are reportedly either smoothing the path for sales or at least looking the other way."

EU != sovereignty, retard. It's the opposite of sovereignty. The question is, why does anyone want to join it?

Japan attacked the US because
>1. They had embarked upon a industrial war of modern conquest in the pacific sphere which literally ran on US oil despite knowing that said war of conquest would surely chafe the only other major competitor in the Pacific (aka the US). Predictably of course the US stopped selling them oil and proceeded to play economic hardball.
>2. The US policy of economic hardball was also *in-part* shaped by a well-known sentiment amongst war hawks in the US with the intention of creating a conflict with Japan and thereby providing entry into the world war- bait that the Japanese Government took and provided them a perfect opportunity to enter the war on a silver platter
>3. The Japanese determined correctly that the global aberration we call world war II was a moment where various regional and global power structures were going to be determined and laid down for decades to come. They anticipated correctly that the outcome of the various global conflicts would determine the "status quo" during the modern technological era then emerging. They determined that because of this it was worth taking a great gamble of initiating war on the US with the hope that they could expel the US as a competitor in the Pacific and thereby secure hegemony over the Pacific sphere for the foreseeable future.

When I look at the circumstances I don't blame Japan for wanting to rule the Pacific. I do however blame them for being so retarded to do so while stuck on the American Oil Teat and actually thinking they were entitled to take over the Pacific without rubbing their Oil-Overlords the wrong way.
