So they destroyed 2 of 2 Patriot systems. Again, this is weak sauce. You take out the radars and other support systems and you don't need to take out the launchers. WTF are you talking about?

WTF are you talking about Moe? You got any actual confirmation of this because I can’t find it anywhere. As usual for these stupid ass claims.

Now watch... Kyiv regime will come out with a statement tomorrow about 52 of 50 missiles hit (104% accurracy), but at the same time, we have them reporting explosions right now. Make it make sense.

China's peace plan for Taiwan would be for everyone to recognize China's control of Taiwan. They call it the One China Policy.

no they don't. here you go again just completely making crap up. The One China Policy doesn't say what you think it says.

China doesn't control Taiwan. never has.

The Russians are not having to pull people off the streets. Nor are they losing men at an industrial level compared to the Kyiv regime. In Artemovsk, the kill ratios were likely 3:1 in Russia's favor because of the nature of the street fighting. But overall, you and I both know the kill ratio since 02/24/2022 is in the 10:1 or more favoring the Russians.

in what military dogma/strategy/history assumes a 3:1 loss factor in street fighting against a near peer foe? especially as you are assuming the 3 is the defender?

There is a reason street fighting takes FOREVER and is considered so brutal, its because the losses are much closer to 1:1. a 3:1 k/d ratio would be considered great in an open fight against a near peer, it would be unheard of in urban fighting. I know you want to believe so hard, but apply ANY critical thinking and you would realize the BS you spew isn't even in the realm of possible.

seriously provide one source from before 2022 that says an attacker can expect to be on the better side of 3:1 in a street fighting situation against a near peer.

even Stalingrad which is considered some of the most brutal street fighting ever where the Russians couldn't even give every man a gun didn't reach 2:1 losses favoring the attacker who had every benefit. And even you don't imply Ukraine isn't arming every poor shmuck they send into that fight.

Oh Russia doesn't care about sanctions at this point. Europe is still buying oil and gas from Russia, just at marked up prices. Also, I've said this a thousand times, but I guess I have to say it a thousand and one times... YOU CANNOT SANCTION A COUNTRY THAT IS A TRADING PARTNER WITH CHINA!!!

Also, throw in India. So India and China, representing 25-30% of humanity vs the Europeans?

On a side note, the very thing that you all accuse Russia of doing (energy blackmail) is the very thing that Zelensky is doing when he threatens pipelines or raises transit fees for pipelines that pass through Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russia has still kept the taps open for oil and gas, even in spite of the sanctions.

1. Russia was already trading with China and India before 2022, or any sanctions. so its not like this was a new market. even in 2015 HALF of all Russian exports were going to China.
2. China and India combine for more than 2 billion people, and about 20 trillion in gdp. Europe comes in at just under 400 million people, and 17 trillion in gdp. The average wealth difference is STAGGERING. the more excess wealth you have the more you CAN trade. because some of that wealth just goes to pure sustenance. Europeans have 4x as much money to trade as China and India combined.
3. Russia has kept the pipelines open because that is literally all they have. Russia COULD NOT operate without selling gas to the west. If China and India were actually a trade threat you think they were Russia wouldn't be trading with the west at all.

so, no more shot down Russian missiles right? surely you are right this time.

I mean not that it matters anyway. You claimed the Patriots were ineffective and not doing anything, so it wouldn't matter if they were operational.
also you were in here cheering that they were running out of ammo and not going to be able to work anymore.

seems like Russia has been throwing a decent bit of resources at something that was ineffective and not going to have any ammo anyway.

Remember when he claimed that HIMARS wouldn’t make a difference but cheered every time Ivan claimed to have taken one out?

1. So the CIA is hosting the Kyiv Kill List website on servers in Brussels?
2. Anton Gerashchenko, who's twitter account is followed by @evillawyer, is one of the masterminds behind this Kill List?
3. The National Endowment for Democracy and the Open Society Foundation are also players

How was the conspiracy theory circle jerk? Looks like you're freshly back from it.

Not knowing if it is 2 or 3 Patriot batteries inherently makes the claim suspect.
