Compare life in Russia vs Poland. Putin has done poorly compared to the series of different leaders in Poland since 1999, but Putin tries to compensate for his past inadequacies by invading Ukraine in the present. Putin's Ukrainian plans won't work any better than his more peaceful plans that didn't involve an invasion of a European country. Russia's future, where Polish citizens pull even further ahead of Russians will prove how inadequate Putin was as a leader.

Are you convinced that Russia is doing well compared to Poland? I picked that country because Russia invaded Poland on Sept 17, 1939, and would still own it in 2023, but Russia collapsed in 1991. How about a comparison between Russia and Canada? Russia never invaded Canada and the results are that Canada has a larger economy than Russia and Canadians are several times richer than Russians because there are far few Canadians sharing that economy than in Russia.

For some reason which no one will ever know, Canada never threatened to nuke the US, despite Canada having the longest border on Earth without a military to protect it from the evil US. Meanwhile, Russia has threatened, once again, to nuke the evil US. I wonder what Russia's problem is with the evil US that Canada does not have?

I'm guessing that you believe Ukraine is full of Nazis and Russia had to invade to prevent a repeat of Hitler's invasion of Russia on June 22, 1941, which began after Russia invaded Poland on September 17, 1939. Russia had 21 months to stomp all over Poland before Germany stomped all over Russia. To the Polish, it seemed that the Germans were paying back the Russians.

Yanno, you stupid troll, one big difference between Canada and Russia is that the USA hasn't been trying to destroy Canada for 70 100 years. If we had been, Canada wouldn't exist anymore.

I don't know how you manage to hang on to such obviously stupid ideas. Ideas so transparently stupid even THUGR can see thru them. Must be bc your mind is fucked.

Russia was defeated decisively in Bkamhut today with the 72nd Brigade nearly being wiped out, and pushed back an entire kilometer. Wagner forces still have no ammo and are going to withdraw from the line soon.

So comrade signym, riddle me this.

T

Where have all the young men gone?

"Where have all the flowers gone?" asks the famous 1960s antiwar song. In Moscow today, The New York Times reports, the question is: Where have all the men gone?

The answer to both questions is, in part, the same: To the graveyards of soldiers. But a lot of the missing men of Moscow have also fled Russian President Vladimir Putin's draft for his war in Ukraine. In fact, demographers say Russia may not recover for generations, if ever.

"Putin spent years racing against Russia's demographic clock, only to order an invasion of Ukraine that's consigning his country's population to a historic decline," Bloomberg News reports. Here's a look at what demographer Alexei Raksha calls Russia's "perfect storm" of demographic decline:

Where have all the young men gone?

Putin says his October 2022 mobilization drafted about 300,000 men to send to Ukraine. Another 300,000 Russians are believed to have fled to other countries to avoid the draft. The U.S. calculated in May 2023 that about 20,000 Russian fighters had died in Ukraine since December and another 80,000 were injured. That's on top of tens of thousands Russian soldiers killed or wounded in the first 10 months of the war. "I feel like we are a country of women now," Moscow resident Stanislava, 33, told the Times. "I was searching for male friends to help me move some furniture, and I realized almost all of them had left."

Which is true. All you have to do is read THUGR's and SECOND's rabid dreams of toppling Putin or breaking up Russia, or their denigration of the Russian people and culture, to know they've been recruited in the elites' never-ending quest to destroy Russia

Quote:
Putin stated in his annual address marking the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany on May 9 that “a real war has been unleashed against Russia” and that Russia has repelled [USA-sponsored and CIA-enabled] international terrorism
In Chechnya, Syria, Ukraine, and Russia proper

He also equated modern-day western elites with Nazis, which (listening to "Jungle" Josep Borrell and Ursula van der Crazy) I find an entirely apt comparison.

Quote:
and will continue to “defend” residents in Donbas.
Who have been subject to continuous shelling of civilian areas since 2014

Quote:
Putin has previously claimed the West is waging a global “war” against Russia.”
by expanding NATO to Russia's borders (breaking earlier promises) and placing missiles within a few minutes' flight time of Moscow, fomenting "color revolutions" and invasions along Russia's entire border including Finland, Sweden, Georgia, Chechnya, (The former) Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Kazakhstan etc (pretty much the way the west has treated most of the world)

Quote:
Putin has previously referred to the Russian military campaign in Ukraine as /a ”war” but this rhetoric, whether an intentional acknowledgement of the scale of the fighting or not, has not corresponded with any changes in the Kremlin’s approach to the “special military operation.”
Which is a war of attrition. If Russia were to unleash full-scale war against Ukraine, Kiev, Lvov, Kharkov, and Odessa would be no more.

Quote:
Putin similarly declined to use recent notable events such as his annual New Year’s Eve address or his February 2023 address to the Federal Assembly to offer any concrete vision on how to reverse the Russian

THUGR: "...Bkamhut ..."

So you don't buy the Russia-Canada comparison either.

The rest of your post is baloney.

When Russians were starving, Herbert Hoover, before he was President, was running food to Russia to save them from what they had done to themselves. When the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in which Stalin agreed to split Europe with Hitler, collapsed, the US came to Russia's aid with billions of dollars in raw materials, food, fuel, vehicles, planes. The US bombed the hell out of German munitions factories, cutting in half what Germany could throw at the Russian Army. What was Russia bombing? Nothing, because they could not get bombers up in the air. When WWII was over, the US didn't put Russians on trial for murdering more civilians than Germany murdered in its extermination camps.

But then the Russians got full of themselves and decided to keep every piece of land they had crossed while moving toward Berlin and Tokyo. Funny how the Russians only let loose these conquered lands when Russia collapsed in 1991 out of gross incompetence at running an economy.

I'm pretty sure Canada would have been in trouble with the US if it had been as greedy, violent, and stupid as Russia. But instead of following the Russian path of threatening the US with nukes, Canada created a prosperous economy that never collapsed in 1991, very unlike the Russian one, run by Communists with bizarre ideas of how to run a factory or grow food or just about anything a dialectical materialist can screw up out of purist ignorance.
