Yes but there are a lot of moving pieces, and with every little new cog of the conspiracy, there's a higher chance of failure.
None of this silly theorycrafting going on proves anything other than the ability of the human mind to cope is unbounded
This isn't true at all, there isn't any truth in "Joe Biden got 80mil votes. Yet people believe it. That's what happens when you have the greatest propaganda machine and media control ever in human history.
There is a lot of evidence corroborating the theory that the Russian Armed Forces had massacred civilians in Bucha among other areas outside Kiev. Eye-witness accounts, satellite images, mass graves that are far more likely to have been dug up during Russia's occupation, and so on. Occam's makes Russia the likeliest candidate to have carried out these summary executions.
If you disagree, you can argue your position. I am not being emotional, I will be polite and as you may have seen, I am open to reason and openly agreed to a poster a few pages back that has argued about his vision of Ukraine after the war.
I am not well-versed in American politics to have an educated opinion about it but I also would like to point out that while I acknowledge your position, you are moving the goalposts.
It is an interesting comparison, especially considering who the Russians were fighting.
Not a good look to who? Fucking awesome if the hohols are even half as based as the mujahideen
You frame it for yourself as some grand act of preplanned conspiracy, with everything done in service of it.
Feel free to disagree, but I don't believe the Ukroswine have anywhere near the staying power of the Afghans.
You're comparing a wartime situation with a potential political machination. I'm mostly avoiding responding to your point about the 2020 elections because I have no dog in that particular fight and by changing the parameters of conversation, I am opening myself to other arguments against which I cannot properly defend myself.
Russians have still committed violence against the civilian population. If you're going about it, then a lot of that action was of a retributive kind, thus targeting civilians as revenge for whatever was inflicted previously.
Do you have proof of this situation that can settle it beyond plausible deniability?
The hell does that mean other than "yeah the Russians did it and those other guys deserved it"?
So, repeating the same argument doesn’t increase its adherence to reality. It’s obvious you are stuck with the GDP variable even though there are many flaws with it when used to gauge the Russian economy.So write it down faggot!
Like somehow you try to conjure reality that superpower status is not benefiting US, or it's citizens by any means. You are free to renounce your citizenship and join another nation rich in farmland and natural resurces - Russia.
Because 40 was price for 2019. Today, as you know it is not 2019.

Russia GDP per capita: ~12k USD
Russia GDP per capita using purchasing power parity: ~26k USD
Germany GDP per capita using PPP: ~51k USD
For fucks sake, they prepared by disposing 3/4 of their financial reserves in FED and have it all frozen
No. GDP doesn't mean that. It doesn't mean any of that.
Gross national product means this is how much given country produced that year. If GDP falls by 1/3, it means that economy produced 1/3 less. Or it means that rubel is worth less by 1/3. In 2013 you could buy 33 rubels for 1 USD. In 2015 1 dollar buys you 66 rubels. So it is exactly the oposite of what you said.
PPP is taking same basket of goods from different countries and comparing it. The biggest component of that basket is food. So yeah, Russia as the big food produced didnt face huge food price increases.
However, what has much lower weights in that basket are things like electornics: smartphones, laptops, tvs and more, car and car parts, forein travels or medicine. All of those are what many would consider, sign of wealth.
