As bad as Biden and the previous presidents were they at least pretended and paid lip service to International law and order unlike Tramp who has managed to isolate America which will eventually lead to their collapse.

BRICKS here we come.

LOLs! Do you have a timescale for this collapse...?

On the contrary, Russia has proven to be the only true superpower on the planet as it is engaged in six different theaters simultaneously (Europe, ME, Africa, Antarctica, Asia) while keeping your 40+ alliance of cowards at bay and bankrupting them into obscurity.

And while all this is happening, Russia launches satellites and nuclear submarines faster than the West can change shirts!

Having made the world’s most populous nations their staunch allies and customers, Russia won’t be running out of cash or options anytime soon mate...

That's a disappointment as it doesn't really follow on from the previous. A clue being in the term. "Thread"?

To repeat though. Putin isn't going to unilaterally use nuclear weapons against a country which has none. It would be a diplomatic Armageddon. Why on Earth would he? Well, unless he loses the plot of course. And why not we might ask? Trump obviously has, whilst Biden never really had a plot in the first place.

It's been a feature of this war that the Russians - they usually take it in turns - Putin/Medvedev/Lavrov, issue monthly blood-curdling nuclear war threats. It's gotten to the point though where it seems even they've realised it's become monotonously ineffective.

As far as trade goes the US was by far China's largest customer. Nowadays, who knows WTF's going on? Russia's main export to the Chinese is crude, which they've been selling at a significant discount on market rates for 3 years. Good news for the Chinese. Even more is that, with the fear of a global recession and slowdown, the price has dropped from $87 to $67 and looks set to continue it's descent. Very bad news for Mr Putin.

I'm not sure what your criteria for "Superpower" is. Apart from nuclear weapons nothing about the Russian military or its economy suggests that sort of status these days. They've struggled against the Ukrainians and I think their economy is about one 20th the size of the Chinese and even less the US. Currently, the main engine of growth in the Russian economy is armaments. In fact, for that reason Putin can't really afford peace. That boost won't last though. Historically it never has.

Why "40+ alliance of cowards at bay"? There are no significant NATO military forces engaged in the Ukrainian fighting. Conversely, using your figures, the Russians have lost a quarter of a million men whilst spending God knows how much on the war. Can't really see the cowardice, looks pretty clever really, unless you'd like to see a full on? It isn't going to happen - but in which case I'd earnestly recommend you look at the figures and judge them against the Russian Armed Forces abysmal performance in Ukraine.

The Russians just placed 3 "things" in orbit. Which it seems is faster than the West can change shirts Starlink alone consists of about 7000 satellites. Incidentally, some time ago you suggested that the Russians should show who's the Boss by shooting Starlink down!

Again, the article is about one submarine which might or might not come into operational service next year. It poses a lot of questions. I know a lot about submarines, it was my stock in trade for many years. A sub has to locate and get within range of a target then obtain firing criteria. No easy task. Even a carrier strike group is hard to find in a quarter of a million square miles of water. Not only that, it will be accompanied by it's own hunter/killer sub(s) just sitting, listening.

The Zircon has been much overhyped. Basically the whole thing comes across as just another Wonderwaffe PR exercise. Regardless, all this stuff just leads to another arms race. Just what us insignificant supermarket shoppers need.

I would add:

GR how dare you give away secrets to the SwineCunts. Let them wallow in their sty. They feel better in their own shit.

That's a typical Lordo post. When he's not complaining about personal abuse. The guy's an asshole. A man who (pretends to) hide rather than have the guts and confidence to confront his opponents. The Forum's wrist-slasher in chief. If you want to play footsie with him that's up to you. He certainly goes out of his way to drop his trousers and bend over for you when it comes to posts. I would have thought a man like you could do better for company to be honest. Whatever though. I may regret posting this. Apparently I'm going to get punched on the nose at the Coffee Club by him. The time I turn up - who knows when?

Happy Easter to you - and thanks for all the vids. Although, as always, I can filter out the like of puffs of smoke in the distance which was a (trust me ) Ukrainian battalion being destroyed.

It’s what I’ve been saying for a while… thanks to Russia’s newfound gigantic markets (India + China) the criminal West cannot touch them!

And when the price of crude goes down as you pointed out, it always attracts higher sales thus making up for any losses as per the article below:

“Sanctioned Russian Oil Exports to China Jump as STS Transfers Rise”

https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News ... -Rise.html

Also, new Chinese exports to Russia have replaced the lost EU and American exports so it cuts both ways!

China has capitalized heaps as a result of the West’s sanctions against Russia, to America’s detriment.

The war in the Ukraine has taught us something new… something we never gave much thought about before… indeed it’s a new level of measure to qualify as a superpower!

The fact that Russia can survive and even prosper in a protracted war!

Only Russia can endure that which has been thrown at it by three dozen countries, and not a single one of Russia’s foes could last a year under such circumstances let alone three… not even America!

Long term endurance against all odds is in my view a fundamental measure of a true superpower!

Lets face it if The Donald decided to stop helping Ukraine because they will not sign over their resources, Ukraine is fucked.

Some idiot was saying on the London Bullshit Corporation that Moldova's turn is next after Ukraine. Moldova has a clause in it's constitution that they cannot join Nato. As well as Russian Arms stored there which Russians will obviously not accept falling in the hands of the Yanks. If they are stupid enough to change it and try, certainly Russia will have a say about that. But I have a feeling they are not as stupid as the Ukraine leadership,

That would be the best case scenario for everyone except of course for the criminal Ukraine.

The Ukraine is the most corrupt country in the world led by a fascist clown dictator, who was murdering his own people not too long ago (17,000 of them dead), who is today responsible for the world’s biggest money laundering scam and underground arms exporting, as well as the mass kidnapping of Ukrainian men by the thousands off the streets, to throw into the trenches of certain death so that he will remain in power… that’s all he cares about!

I believe America has next to zero chances of recovering any of the money they have “invested” in the Ukraine; which I believe is upwards of a trillion dollars… perhaps way more depending on how far you want to go back, because NATO has been playing deadly games in the Ukraine since 2012!

An absence of US intelligence in particular, would spell the end of Ukrainian games and bring about the speedy end of the Russian operation.

The three stooges of Europe will no doubt pretend to be doing something about it, but the supply or military vehicles is no longer relevant in a war that has lately evolved into 70% of attacks coming from sophisticated drones.

The European military is totally obsolete in what it has to offer, and the time needed to catch up with the new drone and robotics warring world; that we are today seeing taking place in the Ukraine, would be too long for them to be able to make an impact.

If Trump is smart he’ll count his losses and move on.
