War in Ukraine

Siberia is also burning. I wonder if Putin's bunker will be available to him to hide in?

I mean, that's only a couple of hundred sq miles. In Alaska, that much burns in an hour any given afternoon.

Plus isn't Siberia like twice the size as Alaska?

Fires have been burning all season. That's why the state of emergency.

According to this Russian political scientist, the ruble gaining on the dollar is not such a good thing as you seem to think. The Russian ruble is the world's top-performing currency but its strength masks serious problems in the economy, says political scientist

"The strong ruble is a bad indicator of Russian economic performance generally because it only reflects the fact that imports have fallen so sharply that importers simply do not need so much foreign currency because they're unable to import goods from…Western countries," Matveev said during an interview with All Things Considered.

He noted that the effect of wartime sanctions has devastated Russia' economy, and long-term prospects for Moscow are bleak because of Western businesses halting operations there, soaring inflation, and the heavy toll on locals.

A soaring currency, he said, is not a good measure for the broader economy because it has more to do with trade prospects falling off during the war.

"So the strong ruble only reflects the fact that there is no use for foreign currency in Russia right now," Matveev said. "And this is, of course, a very bad thing for the economy."

Your pre occupation with trannies in the military is a peculiar tell I think.

I'm not preoccupied, I just see the downward spiral of our country. They're grooming our kids, parent and the gov are fine with this. As I've said, pedophilia will be pushed to be legal in 10 years.

So for anyone concerned about the amount of money we're sending to Ukraine here's how things work: If and when the United States labels Russia a state terrorist we have the right to take all of their assets.

It hasn't hurt Russia

The problem with this analysis is that they are not able to import much of anything due to Western sanctions...

The West has all of the clocks, but Russia has all of the time.

yelp, that is the first out and out lie I have heard from you. disappointing. We are playing a game called "whack a mole", and we have more moles. Democracy wins.

So sanctions are working?

If the number of dead soldiers is correct thats remarkable. In just 5 months they'd be in ear shot of our total losses in Vietnam.

Its a very conservative estimate..I've been told by American MI sources that its more around 50,000.

I am not sure how you are pointing out a problem with the analysis. He states that's the case. And he points out that the "strength" of the ruble is due to them not being able to spend it on imports. So once the sanctions are gone their value will drop, so it's not Russia fixing its economy. He also points out, in so many words, that the strong ruble is another inflationary hit. A russian loaf of bread didnt suddenly get bigger or better relative to the world. So even though theoretically they can buy more with fewer rubles there is less to buy. Supply and demand is out of whack, even with in Russia and Russian products.

She(?) is the lowest common denominator.

We should get out of NATO, since we pull the heaviest burden. Let's let the woke Europeans shoulder the pain of supporting their continent. We commit $44B and our European ancestors commit what $4B? Screw em.
