[870EVO]

And that outside force is "We don't want to be apart of the Soviet Union again, where do we sign to keep Russian troops from invading us?"

Yeah Russia will take over all of Europe given the chance. Just ignore the fact their struggling to invade the shittiest most corrupt hole in Europe. You've been watching too much TV.

First link (2021) 73 rub to buy 1 usd
Second link 70 rub to buy 1 usd

At least we agree the ruble is stronger now than before the war. It's the same story vs the Euro.
Aaaaaaaaaaand, the value of the ruble only really matters for international exchanges, not domestic consumption, which since Russia is locked out of SWIFT, and busy forming an alternative to USD monopoly, doesn't seem to be a problem. Russia has it's own resources, and if anything other countries are dependent on it for their economics (look at where gas, fertiliser and wheat comes from) Hell if countries want to buy oil from Russia (and they are), they have to buy it in rubles, as dollars are no longer accepted. The Russian economy is booming compared to say...the UK

How many times does this need to be explained? Look at trading rates, not value. If you have an El Dorado size hoard of gold but live on a deserted island with nobody to trade with your gold doesn't have any fuckin' value no matter what the ticker for gold prices say.

Correction. Already have an alternative to SWIFT.

An Iranian banking official revealed Thursday that all Russian banks and 106 banks in 13 other countries have been connected to Iran's financial messaging system known as SEPAM.

With SEPAM, Iranian banks are no longer in need of the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) network, Mohsen Karimi, the deputy governor of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) for international affairs confirmed.

Or you know, they read history. The same history showing a certain pattern to Russian actions where they continually try to do exactly that. Or maybe they listened to the shit the Russians themselves put out, where they state a desire to do exactly that. Also, I wonder why anyone in Eastern Europe would have that fear. It certainly wouldn't have anything to do with spending nearly half a century in recent history under the russian/soviet thumb and watching their nations wither in comparison to the rest of Europe.

But people are still trading with them? Shit, it was shown that the Chinese were selling Russian shit to Europe lol.

For as much fun as people make about the "Kiev in 2 weeks", it's easy to go "Russian economical collapse in 2 weeks, guys!"

 

[GatorAids]

You niggers are really begging for the Stalin and the NKVD of your nightmares to become reality, aren't you? Oh well, maybe Russia will oblige but if stay behind tards were never successful in the USSR I doubt some gay stay behind org will succeed in present day Russia.

I mean a Chink spy balloon flew all across America before it got shot down, we aren't the the same America of the 1950s, and remember, the US funded and supported GLADIO, not a bunch of yuros, who are worst off than the US atm.

Well, I mean if Putin wants to be the new Stalin I sure wonder if Putin has the same obsession with BBC that Stalin did.

You do realize these countries have spy agencies, diplomats, defense analysts right? You make it out like all these countries are just helpless scared little children against inevitable oncoming Russia with some infinite Red Army from 1960.

We know theres a leaked call from Nuland that occured soon after the Maidan coup in Ukraine, they were discussing who should be placed in what positions in the new Ukrainian Government. So we know the US has direct control over Ukraine. So if you were Russia what would you do? Just sit there and take the US directed shellings to near your border? Or would you do something about it?

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Niggers be talking about muh poor Ukraine make my blood boil. This entire shitshow has been building for over 10 fucking years as the pro-West and pro-Neutrality people in there fought. Ukrainian oligarchs were mad that the Russian Oligarchs were so much richer than they so they decided to ally with the west to get big. The entire 2014 fiasco with Crimea and the Euromaiden shit was a perfect show of how Russia and NATO just use the fucking place like a chess board. You need to be a massive fucking retard not to realize that.

Zelensky is a complete fucking dictator no different from Putin. His only real difference is he has the entire fucking western world giving him free blowjobs and PR to cover up his massive fucking corruption, the way he constantly has the Ukrainian state companies hire the children of american politicians as mega over paid consultants, and hide how he has shut down the entire concept of a opposition and made his party and people who toe the line of his views the only ones allowed in Ukraine. Most Ukrainians didn`t care to join NATO at all, and even the EU was not that popular outside of the western portion of the country until 2014 when the CIA Glowniggers did what they do best and hijacked the Ukrainian political landscape to do their own shit (the Euromaiden thing had legitimate reasons and background, it was not a western ploy like most Russian apologists say. The "western ploy" was the use of the circunstances created by the protests to instead nudge a change in the direction of the country)

You will see all these smooth brain takes about how Ukraine should have just been allowed into the EU and NATO and how Putin is just evil being put forth by the usual suspects who support the Current Thing. They don't understand the Russian side at all nor can they comprehend why it should be taken into account (which is quite funny given how they love claiming to be on the side of logic, science, compassion and empathy). You know the Russians are paranoid about NATO, you know they have a pride issue when it comes to their borders, you know they are sensitive about this shit. Why would you provoke them? It's like getting mad that you poked a pit bull with a short stick and it bit you. No fucking shit nigger it bit you it's a pit bull what did you expect did you not read the fucking "beware guard dog" sign?

The annexation "referenda" were pure Soviet tactics exactly in the same mold as when they installed the Communist regimes in the Warsaw Pact in the 1940s. None of those countries became Communist voluntarily, only through coercion, and the only way Russia kept it together was through military force.

The fall of the Soviet Union was only a little more than 30 years ago. There are plenty of people who remember just what it was like suffering under their boot and how backward and impoverished their countries were due to Soviet exploitation.

So many niggers living in the past. Europeans just now going "Oh yeah, the US is going to save us all!" like it's the 1950s-1960s without realizing that we already had our country sold out to the Chicoms meanwhile their nations are being turned into caliphates.

Too much Alex Jones is bad for what's left of your brain, gringo

 

[Napoleon Bonerfart]

you sweet summer child it's like you're too stupid to realize that arbitrage traders have been buying Russian gas/oil and selling it to the EU and other places that have already sanctioned Russia at a mark up and that this has been going on from the beginning.

The supply chain steps, created as a result of western pressure, to launder Russian oil, do not have enough throughput to remove this bottleneck

Remember, it's not globohomo if you're sucking the ration officer's dick for an extra crust of bread, and you should be grateful for that.

I don't know why people keep bringing up bizarre over the top scenarios. Yes, once Russia takes Ukraine, or even annexes part of Ukraine, we'll all be in gulags and waiting in breadlines.

 

[Random Internet Person]

Not a suprise to anyone


Very interesting partnership

The partnership /pol/ has been waiting for: Russia and China vs The West!

 

[Ghostse]

And when Ukraine wins and joins NATO we'll all be forcibly castrated and made to suck ladydick on a float in the Kiev Pride parade and eat the bugs as every Russian foreskin is harvested for reagents the Elders of Zion's alchemist rituals.

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

Russia doesn't get to decide who their neighbors sign up with.

Maybe if they hadn't acted like psychotic animals the neighboring countries wouldn't be looking for someone to make sure the rabid dog doesn't tear off someone's leg.

Eastern Europe: Hey, NATO, can we join? Russia's over hear breathing heavy and drooling again.
Russia: WE NO DO NUTTIN!
>Invades everyone

If Russia takes over Ukraine (and/or other EE countries), they will probably run the place as Russians tend to do (corrupt, abusive, economically inefficient, shortages of necessities), and I would expect the Ukrainians (and/or other EE countries) remember how that felt and strongly desire to avoid that fate. Hence, why they want to be in NATO without need for compulsion by the US.

The partnership /pol/ has been waiting for: Russia and China vs The West!

Russia, China, Iran, Brazil, South Africa, and anyone forming the BRICS currency behind the scenes. Also, Saudi Arabia - since they're with China now.

We'll see where allegiances truly lie.

I always see this argument, and it represents short-term thinking. Russia is struggling now, but they have vast natural resources that could be redirected to a war economy. If they take Ukraine, they'll add its population, resources, and industry to theirs. Put it all together, and in 10 to 20 years they could build up a massive war machine right on the border of several countries they might decide belong to them. This invasion has demonstrated their attitude and their willingness to defy recognized international norms and borders to take what they want by force.

We know how much of Europe the Soviet Union dominated. There is no reason to think that empire could not be rebuilt, and then some.
