Russia would easily raise hundreds of thousands of fighting men to fill out their ranks
Russia only has around 6 million men between 18-29. It's not as easy as it seems.
Would they even have the equipment for that?
and China would gleefully pump out weapons and supplies to equip them
They'd have to stop fucking with the lockdowns and put people back to work.
Nuclear winter and all that
Nuclear winter theories are based on the flawed assumption that the fires from the Japanese cities would happen in Western cities.
The oil fires from Desert Storm and the Siberian fire of 1915 essentially deboonked nuclear winter.
 
Nikolaev. Multiple explosions are heard in the city!

"Some good news. President promised 100 000 hrivni (~3000USD) to frontline vanguard - president fulfilled said promise.
P.S. Please no political arguments, I'm just stating the fact.
P.S.2. Now I can finally fulfill my dream, settle down, get a girl, got marriage fund. Just gotta get out of Mariupol alive.
:paycheck info:"

That's an oof from me.

*I am no Ukrainian so I'm guessing some words. But the gist should be correct.

Yeah, nukes are a go then.

My understanding is there are a lot of tunnels over there.

Do flamethrowers make an effective tool to smoke them out or just bury them all in there by closing the exits?
It'd be pretty interesting if they just set up some pumps and flooded the tunnels with seawater, eh?

But the Russians having to go "Please just stop throwing a tantrum in your cucktunnel, you're dying for nothing" at the azovniggers for the third time is fucking hilarious.
 
What you don't see, are the benefits that US has gained over the years by keeping it's sphere of influence
Which they are rapidly digging a grave for. :)
Seriously, all this troonism, whites hate speech, pedoshittery and so on, how's these are qualities of world hegemony? They are what SHOULD NOT BE THERE. And yet
...

You won't read about it in news, it's not easily quantifiable, but they are getting large benefits.
they - who? politicians? Yes they do, but what about regular folks, even those that plumb the toilets and can't into space?

They are not supporting Ukraine of goodness of their heart. They are investing their money.
Into another World War. Yeah we got that already, what I don't get us why are you sipping so much for a war in which you're inevitably get fucked and die?

Ukraine is a terrible investment
Only if you don't invest in SALO.

After war is ended, US can focus
I'd be more concerned by s matter of fact that either:
1. your country get buttfucked by Germany again under cover of the storm;
2. Ukrainians thet will feel themselves betrayed by your kind get Katyn 2: senseless boogaloo;
3. U. S. will nuke Eurasia because of senile government of theirs.

You're misguided at best.

Yup, the scientists pushing the nuclear winter scare in the 80's, most notably Carl Sagan, knew their papers were garbage before they released them. But they were useful propaganda for the anti-nuke activism of the time.

That said, aside from megadeath casualties, even a relatively small nuclear exchange would devastate food, energy, and transportation infrastructure at national levels. Not something you want the hysterical cast of The View to talk you into.

Da (and you're forgetting men aged 30-45, most of whom are plenty fit enough to kill). This is a big enough pool to defeat any combination of Nato ground forces (it's not going to be a WW2 type war with millions of combatants pouring in from Western Europe, Britain and North America, neither side can supply that kind of manpower and it'll escalate to the final nuclear exchange within weeks or months anyway)

They'd have to stop fucking with the lockdowns and put people back to work.
Idk why people are determined to always underestimate the Chinese, even tho they're now the greatest industrial nation on earth and can just order people to do whatever they're told. Not that Chinamen will take much convincing to do extra shifts in the factory to help defeat countries they already hate. Plus, China has large stockpiles of tactical weapons they could send north tomorrow if they wanted.

Nuclear winter was a KGB and fellow travelers story told to demoralize Westerners. Nuclear war would mean the biggest mass murder in human history followed by a century or two of various kinds of horror, disease and poverty. But not because of the climate, which would probably be fine.
 
Breaking news: We live in a world with nukes and Russia has more than us. We don't even have enough to nuke all of Russia while they have more than enough to nuke all of the USA.

Miss, this is Wendy's. Reddit is that way ------------------->
We have more than enough to nuke them. Russia may have more, but we both have about the same amount of active nukes.
 

A Chechen engaging in a joyous dance before. . . discharging his firearm into the air. Then another Chechen discharges his firearm into the air. I'm a big time Chechen enjoyer, but if this is something they do frequently then I'd be amazed if someone hasn't died yet. Also, watching him dance I couldn't help but think of this:

Just to show how much Putin is fucking up common citizens in Russia:
  1. In 2013 Russian GDP per person hits all time high of 15k USD
  2. Feb 2014 war in Ukraine starts
  3. First sanctions packs are listed (nobody remembers about those, lol)
  4. Despite being unremembered they cause decrease of GDP by 1/3 in one year
  5. That means on average single Russian can buy 1/3 less of goods and services
  6. 8 years after it still hasn't recover
  7. In 2022 sanctions on Russia hit much higher level than 2014
I would not be supprised if GDP for 2023 would be equal to GDP in 2005.
And it would be a fine analysis if you could judge the Russian economy using GDP. They have eschewed most standard macro economic measurements, even before they decided to become gold niggers. Purchase parity metric puts their economy at a scale larger than Germany.

They knew this was coming and prepared accordingly.

It’s why sanctions don’t do any significant damage to their economy.

It isn’t just me, this has been know for years and put out on many military papers since the 2000s.
