Ukrainian strikes have wiped $25.5 billion off Russia’s war machine, Syrskyi says

I’m drunk and I was like “wtf?” so thank you for your comment. I literally was scared I killed off 90% of my braincells.

Sanctions. Pressure Ukraine's allies to drop support. Cancel starlink access. Drop all sanctions on Russia (which are still in place). Material support for Russia (weapons, intelligence). Cyber attacks. That's a non exhaustible list too. I'm sure if I threw that into claude there could be thousands of angles the most influential country in the world could use to make Ukraine's existence miserable.

Those billionaires aren't Trump's friends. They're just using him to get what they want because he's a dumb crybaby that's stupidly easy to manipulate. They're not even pretending that's not the case since he's so easy to manipulate anyway, especially now that's old and clearly having a deteriorating mental health. It's basically elder abuse on the racist old neighbor that has the mining rights on the goldmine spanning the whole town, at this point...

I think at some point you should be able to annul supreme court decisions, considering it's been clearly corrupt to the core for decades now.

and those Trump "Billionaire friends" have all been heavily connected to/thru Epstein and every shady "deep state" business deal across Russia, US, the UAE, Iran, and other countries for at least the past 5 decades. The money is easy to follow, and they are all in the Epstein emails that were released

Also a reminder that Witkoff was an Epstein associate. This war is literally in the hands of pedos.

Russia's been in a bad demographic decline for a while. They've thrown millions of their youth away counting both those who've died and those who've fled the country in an era where they can't afford to lose them. They've nearly exhausted their national wealth fund that was meant to invest oil profits into the country in this conflict while the world is rapidly moving away from the oil and natural gas that props up the Russian economy. The conflict has strangled Russian businesses not involved in the war as high inflation, taxes, interest rates, labor shortages, and sanctions make operating in the country difficult, while the bulk of Russian economic growth has been in war related industries that do nothing to help the economy long term. I don't reckon the EU will be rushing to help Russia recover like the Western powers were in the 90s either, especially if Putin and his allies stay in power after the war

Because everything they are planning to do to recover is unrealistic moonshot. Putin is planning on every Russian woman having 5 kids. He's planning on importing 5 to 10 million workers from abroad. He's planning on expanding oil and gas sales. He's planning on turning the Russian far east into an economic powerhouse like China. That war has already cost them around $600 billion. The rebuilding of the parts of Ukraine Russia currently occupies alone would cost them $150 to $250 Billion. That's their entire liquid national fund. They're never getting their frozen assets back which is another $600 billion. Russia is a violent crime ridden, corruption infested, economically misaligned, backwards country that has no other future but to threaten everyone with their nukes to keep existing.

Just understanding economics of scale? You need money to rebuild. Money that Russia is pissing away. Money they're not suddenly going to get back when the war is over. The damaged infrastructure is losing them money. The more damage done, the more they'll have to rebuild but also less money they're making post-war or even currently. At some point you hit a tipping point. Combine that with increasing pushes for green energy thus lowering demand, the aging population of Russia and the already serious issues they're having with supplying workers to vital industries, this isn't a decades thing. This is a death knell. When it happens is impossible to say but the modern Russian state that you and I are familiar with will not recover from this.

Math

> even western journalists can’t manage to take a single photo of Ukrainian forces without Nazi symbolic and Russian forces has all the base to believe they fight Nazis Oh boy, someone gobbled up some Russian propaganda. You sound like you're beyond saving.

please tell me why the ussr collapsed again...
