Russia held them for years —Ukraine just brought home 182 prisoners, including Mariupol’s defenders

No they will ip ban you for that you have to say tippy tap. But yes they are so sick they seem to even enjoy tippy tapping prisoners.

Yes, that does apply to Ukraine as well. However, Ukraine has the financial backing of the West and actual allies that are providing favorable deals, loans and other support without expecting much in return. Russia doesnt have any of that. Russias allies consist of countries like Cuba, Belarus, North Korea or Iran. All of which are already struggling on their own, even if they wanted they couldnt support Russia the same way the West can support Ukraine. The only competent and meaningful "allies" are China and India and those are not allies. Proven by the fact that this entire time both of them have been using Russias desperate situation to force Russia into unfavorable and barely profitable deals.

Ok? Not sure what that has to do with the claim that "most of his GDP is missiles". It's simply not even close to true. For Christ, can we please stop making shit up because it sounds bad for our "enemies"?

Ok, and the Russian federal budget is <20% of GDP. Even if those 30% of their budget went 100% into missiles, that's still less than 15% of GDP. Look, I hate Russia as much as the rest of you. Those fuckers made my gas bill go through the roof in 2022. But can we at least try to stay somewhere close to facts?

Don't bother. Facts obviously no longer matter to the lunatics on listnook. Russia is bad, so Putin is about to die, their economy is about to go bankrupt, they fight with donkeys and their troops are surrendering in the millions. We've always been at war with Eastasia.
