Here's some interesting reading.

I read and heard very similar analysis of why the US can not simply walk away from this clusterfuck.
I seriously hope BRICS can come up with a new reserve currencly and force the US to get back from this "siphon the world dry" economy to something resembling a normal one.

"flatten some Donbas cities"? Are you seriously advocating unrestricted warfare against predominantly civilian targets? Say what you will about Putin but that is not a strategy he has resorted to. Millions of Ukrainians were welcomed home to the Fatherland, in fact.

Well, he likes to LARP as a psycho, so no surprise there.

Themobaric bombs are also called Fuel Air Explosives, or FAEs.

The old "It's OK when we do it!". Oh well. Make sure you're close to a bomb shelter and not plunging those toilets wherever you are.

Fuel air bombs are fucking awesome!

So cool!

 

[Overly Serious]

What the Hell kind of pressure did the USA put on Germany to make them send heavy armaments to Ukraine and risk war when they absolutely obviously did not want to? That America pinky-swears to send some tanks of its own at some unspecified time?

Seriously - what specifically did the US do to make Germany bow down?

 

[Got Milk!]

The first on is a lose, the second a winning.

I'm asking again nicely to please translate from whatever you natively speak with an app of some kind. You sound like my wife's family trying to talk to me in English. It's funny irl but terrible on a forum.

So we had a video at some point of a shitload of American tanks on a train heading somewhere that was shortly thereafter followed by America saying to lick their balls for a year about tanks. Are they trying to sneak them in without notice or is that shit getting hidden so Greedbot slows his demand roll a bit?

Excellent question for 1000$

I hope MacGregor or Ritter will have some comment on that, they usually make sense.

I seriously hope BRICS can come up with a new reserve currencly

It will be backed with what? Rice? Brazilian stock exchenge? Will it be used on LBMA?

Currency isn't popular as a reserve becuause someone told that. It is popular due to size of economy of issuer, trust and usage.

USD is backed by US economy - $25 trillion GDP;
Euro is backed by EU economy - $16 trillion GDP and euro isn't a thread for USD;
ruzzia has around $2 trillion GDP. More than ten times lower than USA.

Combined ruzzia, China, India and Brasil haze around $24 trillion. But if they will be stupid enough to make common currency (thier are no such thing as "reserve currency by design" - read about SDR units and why that shit didn't become reserve currency) they will face two obstacles:

- Mundell theorem about OCA,
- lack of trust in ruzzian snow monkeys, Brazil and China - first one are snow monkeys, second elected Lula after Bolsanoro, third from time to time are closing their economic without reasons.

So you guys and plenty of others have been talking non-stop about tanks for almost a week now.

Question: what is the tank discussion distracting us from? Seems like we are meant to be talking about tanks.

What, like that Turkish ship in Odessa that got attacked by some drunk hohols who saw a red flag with a star on it and shit their pants so much they missed the crescent?

Gold. It'll be backed by gold. You know, that thing that used to back the USD, unti Nixon shitcanned it? That thing that is accepted worldwide as having value?

Euro economy is in the trash without Russian energy, good luck buying anything for that. The Euro already shat its pants and is on par with the US dollar, in a year or two the Euro will be on par with the ruble if not lower.

BRICS undermine dollar hegemony with gold purchases

Just before the New Year, the Financial Times ran a piece noting that central banks were accumulating gold at a rate not seen in 55 years. In the third quarter of 2022, analysts estimate that almost 400 tonnes of gold were bought by central banks. That much gold would take around 16 semi-trailer...

That ruzzkie with claping clown in avatar told us that invisible T-14 Armata conqured Odessa last night. Probably that.

This is funny because it is written by ruzzkie - man from country thay sometimes kills own citizens in hostage situations like Dubrovka.

It's like a yearly thing with them at this point. Y'all remember last year?

Turkish-owned ship hit by bomb off coast of Odessa, no casualties - Turkish authority

A Turkish-owned ship was hit by a bomb off the coast of Ukraine's port city Odessa on Thursday, Turkey's Maritime General Directorate said, adding there were no casualties and the ship was safely en route into Romanian waters.

Bro, you were supposed to just laugh at CWC, not become him. Now come on, let's hear some jokes about BRICS. What was that about rice futures?

Unrelated question, how much gold does Germany have?

One of the things I love most about this war is how a Pro-Russians have almost unanimously put a pedophile on a pedestal just because he shits on West military capablities and praises Russia military capablities.

What, Joe Biden, leader of NATO and the free world? He did have some kind words about Russian hypersonic technology, yes.

Biden called Russia's hypersonic missiles almost unstoppable

Russian hypersonic missiles differ from conventional ones only in that they cannot be stopped, said US President Joe Biden meeting with CEOs major companies. Broadcast walked on the White House... ‹ ARTSAKH NEWS ‹ News from Artsakh

ww3 was trending on twitter again so i crashed in here to see if something actually happened or if it's just twitter being retarded as always.
Apparently usa and co will send the good shit now? too lazy to go check all the pages i missed.

> Boris Johnson Liz Truss That little brown fella

This made me laugh, mainly because I'm pretty sure he has "Temporary" stamped on his forehead. They're trying to vault Keir Starmer to PM but he's got no charisma or personality. On a brighter note at least Liz Truss had big tits....

US Colonel Douglas MacGregor on UA & Russian losses.
Also an interesting take at the end - russian airforce in action again, which could mean that UA AA is destroyed/inoperable

This guy has some decent predictions, not always right but not far off, sure as hell a lot more informative than "official" news sources.

Ther are denominated in USD in all cases. And?

Unrelated question, how much gold does Germany have?

Ah, gold, yes - also in this case BRICS are in deep toilet. In case of ruzzia - they have smaller (2,3k tonnes compared to 3,4k tonnes in sole Germany). China not even 2k tones, India and Brazil combined under 1k tonnes. USA - more than 8,5k tonnes.

Bro, trust me - quit with cope, start with Islam. Things will be better.

My God, do you get information exclusively from the Washington Post or the BBC?
The population of Donbass initially had no plans to join Russia. They demanded a referendum with new elections because a violent coup had just taken place and the president for whom they (the east) voted was replaced by Western Ukrainian nationalists who hate them, and the answer was violence in the form of an "anti-terrorist operation" organized by Turchinov. That is, not only the protesters' demands were reasonable in the situation, but also the illegitimate government began the massacre of its own population.The video of all this, from the voiced demand to the tanks in Mariupol in 2014, is still on YouTube. Not to mention the Minsk agreements, created partly by Russia, according to which Donbass returned to Ukraine, what the fuck is Russian responsibility here?

the coup was bullshit. so i dont blame them for wanting new elections. but wht abt russia seizing crimea? dont u think tht was a major escalation that caused alarmism in kiev and emboldened outright rebellion in the donbass? then russia sends weapons and mercs into the donbass and enabled a civil war to continue for nearly a decade. we both know russia would stomp the shit out of any western backed secessionist movement in their nation. any nation would.

and sry but i cannot subscribe to this genocide shit. thats always the bullshit casus belli these days (russo-georgian war, turk invasion of cyprus, etc.) i need to see gulags and killing fields before i believe it.

Lol I like how they mentioned the cease fire agreement for Orthodox Christmas that Ukraine rejected. I think that's going to go down in history as one of the dumbest military decisions ever made. Russia probably didn't actually want to offer a cease fire, but needed to do it for political reasons since the church holds a lot of sway with the government. The cease fire would have absolutely benefited Ukraine more than Russia since Ukraine needed more time to replace its losses, field new lend leased gear, and train people on said gear. This also extended the duration of just wintertime operations in general which is something Russia has always excelled at. They basically shat on the offer which not only gave Russia a big political win, it gave their own military a significant strategic disadvantage.
