Dude, Russia's suicide rate is higher than America's, and China literally ran its protestors over with a tank.

I think it's safe to say that they're worse.

I dont see chineese state media talking about how "Old chineese men" are the devil for one.
More importantly though,i dont see the huge advantage here just because western authoritarianism is the soft and dirty kind where the people just prevent each other from having free speech so the gov does not have to.
You know, until the oh so good western government does freeze your bank account and declare you a terrorist because you honked too much while parking your truck in an inconvenient spot during your protest to get back your human rights without undergoing the medical procedures the WHO says you *totally* need, and nobody (who matters) cares.

I think this might become a Vietnam for the Russians.

They had that already. It was called Afghanistan. Then we had our second Vietnam, which was called... ummm.... <looks at notes> Afghanistan.

Anyways, different type of war altogether than what's going on here.

QFT.

If you see heavy urban fighting in Kiev, it might be close(ish) to WWII though. Especially the last part of it when Russia was pushing into Berlin. Really gonna come down to how serious Zelensky is on holding the city.

So many tards.

Meanwhile the Russian military is getting beat like a cheap drum and Russian Anti air systems are looking like the biggest pieces of shit on earth.

Oh and Russian tanks look like lovely BBQs when faced with good ATGMs.

Well, what if I told you that Russia is a paper tiger, a boogey-man, and just left alone would fade into insignificance?
The hydrocarbon resources are getting more expensive to get. Russia tries to make their clients dependent on their resources,
but they require more and more investments, and it works only if the prices are high. Their economy is in poor shape, demographics dismal, and no wonder, since ruling mafia style elites are not interested in the well-being of an average Russian.

I see this so called war as the last attempt of faded star to draw attention to herself, sort of attempt at comeback to the glory of Cold War when everyone thought Russia is powerful, and so far it works for them splendidly. But economically it makes no sense, unless prolonged semi-WW3 provides economical benefits for people involved with no care for ruined lives of regular citizens.

Here is my prediction how it will unfold: war-mongering and hysteria will continue for the best part of 2022 maybe longer. There will be no decisive move from US, but lots of talking. We can count on Biden dementia to provide zero decisiveness. Ukraine is under Russian influence anyway, but now it will be more apparent. What Western European countries would not allow is outright annexation, so there will be negotiations, posturing, talking about nukes ad nauseam. Until fall, because then it's time for a new variant of flu to kill all the veterans of guerilla fights for Kiev.

Personally, I am already tired of this shit. Nuke everything, I don't fucking care. Just stop fucking pretending.

More like declaring war on Russia and starting deployment of military. Would be a really dumb idea given some of the logistics and leadership those places have, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it did turn out that way. I don’t think Russia is invincible, but it’s a country I’d rather we not war against.

Mobile-phone footage showed a column of Russian troops with military vehicles opening fire as they advanced through the streets of the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on February 27. Other videos taken by residents showed burning military vehicles.

Imagine thinking a country with a literal government funded social credit system that can dictate where you live, and where can go is better because the government doesn't call you meanie words to your face.

Keep coping, shill. I'm sure Xi really appreciates it.
