The Russian shills are just repeating the same tired state-sponsored talking points about Ukraine in general.

ARF's Russia bros seem to be in disarray though.  For the most part they've pivoted from "Who cares??  Russia is a shit state, we're wasting money, they aren't a real threat.." to "You war-mongers are going to get us all killed!  Russia has nukes!!  Europe is the real enemy!" which doesn't make much sense.  I'm sure tonight's Tucker Carlson episode will get them refreshed though.

Good post comrade. They should be raped and murdered by Russian orcs if they bought food and weapons instead of coats.

They were not given money but loan guarantees and military equipment. Do you keep warm with a 155mm cannon?

Reservists (probably 60% of the male population) will get a chance to serve again! If they neglect their chance, Wagner will come by and give them a second chance. Once deployed, a 10 year prison sentence for surrender as well (based on a new law passed last week). And your family gets nothing because you are a criminal.

Forcing a bunch of Russians who don't want to fight to do so is what happened to Nicholas II in 1917 and to the Second Pacific Squadron in the Russo-Japanese War

Eh..standing behind unarmed Russian conscripts threatening to shoot them if they retreat is damned near Russian military tradition.  They just need to rename Kiev to Putingrad and it'll all work out.

Rhey are mobilizing their recent veterans.   The Russians already sent a bunch of their training Cadre to fight in Ukraine.  Now they will send the only people left that could have taken their place as trainers when the full mobilization happens.  

This war will eventually devolve to Russians with pointy sticks charging Ukrainian lines.

Xi made putin his bitch at that meeting.   Xi promised nothing and got energy deals in return.  

Xi is smart enough to know that China is very vulnerable.  We can do to them exactly what we did to Russia, which was to remove them from the international trade system by denying dollar conversion privileges.  Kick them out of the banking system and things get very bad for China very quickly.

Neither Russia or China have the ability to secure trade in a hostile environment.   After all the diplomatic and financial bullshit it comes down to military force.   In the Pacific that means the Navy. The US Navy in the Pacific is the better of all the combined navies of the Pacific rim.

Thats the game, walk off home run. I'm your huckleberry.

With POTATUS giving different statements than the rest of the administration regarding Taiwan, Xi probably can't tell wtf the real policy is.  I mean I don't think anyone knows, least of all Biden.

So Xi is sitting back, dealing with domestic economic and political issues and seeing how things play out.

Putin is on his own. Nobody wants to join Russia as a pariah state over Ukraine.

 Hence the mobilization. There won't be any Chinese or best Korea help.   Russia is the cannon fodder.

I think Putin is serious about Russia's borders and using nukes.  He knows he's fucked now.  If he starts losing actual Russian soil, he's done.  The referendum votes are bullshit and a way for him to extend that nuclear umbrella into Ukrainian territory.   It's a bluff, but it might give him a bargaining chip in the coming negotiations.

You left out the Russian part but that’s fine. All these arguments online aren’t as significant to me as what takes place offline. Do the Russians mobilize personnel, do they put them in these areas? Are they trained enough to fulfill Moscow’s expectations? Within a year’s time we’ll know. It’s not like we’re all going to wait on George RR Martin to finish a book to find out.

One thing not happening, is Putin organizing a genocide on European soil, launching a wave of war crimes not seen in almost a century, and then getting to die of old age. Going to be a harder reckoning than that coming.

Maybe. I heard for years about the impending collapse of North Korea after the Cold War then I heard no way could North Korea make a nuclear bomb. Same for China. Do an archive search for China will collapse any day now - like Trump any day. These authoritarian / communist / shitholes have figured out how to maintain power. USSR lasted like 70 or 75 years before finally collapsing. Cuba is still a communist shithole post Castro’s death!
