This site is a potato for me right now.

However that being said, let's say Putin dies, how much influence would the successor have to continue this war? Would we expect a Russian collapse with Putin dead? As much as how much Putin looks tired and on his way out, he's Putin, and the next person who takes over won't be him and will have to take over what he left behind.

Russiaset can't even access the site right now because the loading times in St. Petersburg make the thread not even accessible but when they did have a stable connection, let's revisit what they were claiming:


1.) The U.S. demanded India place sanctions on Russia and to stop purchasing their oil. India said “fukk no”. U.S. then threatens sanctions on India for failing to obey. Now, all of a sudden, the U.S. is concerned about “human rights abuses” in India.
:mjlol:

2.) The U.S. urges China to do the same and to condemn Russia for the invasion. China told the U.S. “That ain’t happening. In fact, you better tread lightly with Taiwan too. We’re still on your ass about that. We done told y’all muthafukkas. This Russian invasion shyt is actually your fault.”

3.) The U.S. tells Mexico to sanction Russia. AMLO tells the U.S. “We don’t rock with the invasion and we’ll take in some Ukrainian refugees, but we ain’t sanctioning a fukking thing. We’re not getting involved in y’all’s bullshyt. We still have good business with Russia.”

4. NATO nations are so reliant on Russia, they’re still buying their oil and resources. Only this time, they’re forced to use Rubles. Germany tells the others “Well, what the fukk do you want us to do? Freeze to death? Our economies and inflation are already fukked. We need those resources and they told us that we have to pay with Rubles!”

5.) Saudi Arabia is damn near ready to trade in Rubles and toss the Petrodollar while trading with Russia. The Saudis refuse to answer Biden’s phone calls, yet they’re quick to answer Putin’s.

6.) The Ruble has bounced back and gained more value since before the invasion. Before you say “Well they are manipulating it!”, all countries do the same, and the United States is the greatest offender with the U.S. Dollar. What they’re doing to maintain and increase it’s value is irrelevant.

7.) While the Ruble has greatly recovered, the Dollar and Euro have lost value since these sanctions started.

8.) Russia has plenty of resources. The resources that are required to sustain life. They’ll be alright. Just because they can’t purchase European designer clothes and vain bullshyt from Europe doesn’t mean much. Seize a couple yachts, blah blah blah…

9.) Yes, The West is shook. And for good reason. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be reacting and investing billions of dollars into Ukraine to try and weaken Russia. If they weren’t, we’d have fukked Russia’s shyt up by now. If they weren’t, we’d have soldiers overtly fighting Russia in Ukraine.

We bully other countries that don’t have nukes, but they know better than to pull that with certain nations (North Korea etc.). Don’t play dumb.

10.) The Ukrainian military and Ukraine are flooded with open Nazis. Ukrainians and Eastern Europeans don’t like my Black ass. They’ve shown themselves to be blatantly racist even while being invaded. Need I remind you?

11.) Zelensky is a puppet President that was installed by the U.S. and NATO. He is CORRUPT as fukk.

12.) Russia is not slaughtering innocent Ukrainians with no regard. That’s bullshyt Western propaganda that you and others blindly repeat. Although, yes, civilians have died thanks to Zelensky and his cowardly soldiers using them as shields. Cowering in and storing military equipment in schools, hospitals and all types of residential areas.

13.) Lastly, 600,000 people have died in the current Ethiopian Civil War. No outcry from The West or Western media. No significant aid to Ethiopia. No peace talks with Ethiopia. No political outcry. What about the atrocities in Yemen where they are literally being starved to death? What about the millions of dead people the US and NATO are responsible for across the globe?

DO NOT GET ME STARTED.

I could go on, but I’d rather not.

Updates as of May 15: https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-may-15

Russian forces have likely abandoned the objective of completing a large-scale encirclement of Ukrainian units from Donetsk City to Izyum in favor of completing the seizure of Luhansk Oblast.

Russian forces have likely run out of combat-ready reservists, forcing the Russian military command to amalgamate soldiers from many different elements, including private military companies and proxy militias, into ostensibly regular army units and naval infantry. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that approximately 2,500 Russian reservists are training in Belgorod, Voronezh, and Rostov oblasts to reinforce Russian offensive operations in Ukraine. That number of reservists is unlikely to generate enough force to replenish Russian units that have reportedly lost up to 20 percent of staffing in some areas—to say nothing of the battalion tactical group that was largely destroyed recently while attempting to cross the Siverskyi Donets River.

see you western toadies can't even see the brilliance of putin. the Luhansk Oblast was always the target, keeeeeeev, odessa, etc were smoke screens. everything is going great. leave it to the western media and you would think russia is reducing their expectations because of setbacks, but it's going all to putin's plan. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Hey guys, something makes me think that Russians don't want to really fight this war.
unless they're lying to them about the casualty numbers, they aren't stupid. it's one thing to defend your home and another entirely to leave it to go die in your cousin's land while trying to kill him.
