Quote:Russia could have followed the behavior of Finland and Canada into great wealth and happiness, but Russia chooses to be obnoxious and belligerent, same as you, Signym. Eventually, the "special military operation" mistake will be obvious to even Russians when they fall further behind, just as North Korea, modeling Russia's obnoxious and belligerent behavior, keeps falling further behind South Korea.

b) Somewhere in the realm of 1/3 of the remainder consider themselves more Russian than Ukrainian at this point, given how Kiev has abused them, and
c) of THAT remainder, if Ukraine follows the normal age distribution of EU nations, roughly 1/4 to 1/5 are younger than 10 and probably don't have much political thought. And some portion of the adult population just wants to get through the day with water and food and heat.
What you're left with is about 25 million at best.
It discredits your posts when you begin with nonsense, SECOND. And I don't care if you weren't the one to first publicize it, bc you chose to spread it.

Russia was ravaged by the Nazis from 1941-1945, and pillaged by the west from 1990-2000.
PS: Gentle reader, don't expect me to sccop the poop after every single one of SECOND's posts. If I leave a post - or even many posts- unchallenged it's just bc I don't want to waste too much time on trolls.

That is happening in Ukraine every single day.

Quote:You forgot the two different wars Russia fought with Finland. Stalin didn't learn his lesson from the first war, but Hitler was watching. THAT is THE reason Hitler invaded Russia. If Finland could beat the Russians, so could the Nazis. Stalin could thank the UK and USA for distracting Hitler on the Western Front rather than Germany crushing Russia on a single front.

1) Winter War
30 November 1939 – 13 March 1940
321,000–381,000 total Russian casualties
70,000 total Finnish casualties
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War
2) Continuation War
890,000–944,000 total Russian casualties
225,000 total Finnish casualties
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation_War
The Chinese see how poorly Russia fights Ukraine. China might take a chunk out of Siberia to enlarge itself -- a bit of "Lebensraum" the Nazis would call it.

Andrey Kortunov, one of Russia’s foremost political scientists, paints a bleak picture of the Ukraine war.
Kortunov says the real issue Russia is grappling with is: does it want long-term isolation from the West, or compromise and reintegration? Everything else falls into place depending on the outcome of that fateful decision.
The war in Ukraine is not going as planned for Russia, and Ukraine currently has the upper hand on the ground. Under these circumstances, there is no way Russia will seek to end the fighting.

I listened to the video and I'm left wondering... where, exactly is Russia in trouble??
Video says the frontline is static. Actions are tactical, both sides are waiting for frozen ground. Russian troops are taking territory north and south of Bakhmut.
Kiev, he says, is going to attack south to the Black Sea ... but that is future tense.
Meanwhile, Russia isn't blathering about how they're going to take all of Ukraine, they're promising an offensive at the pace of a slow grind.
So ... ?
