However, aside from superficial notions of GDP. It of course comes down to production, bullets, troops, military equipment.
This is partially what I was trying to imply. The US military budget is close to Russia's entire gdp. A trillion dollars per year buys a lot of interesting R&D. If attrition indeed continues forever, Russia will collapse (yet again) before it gets close to defeating NATO.
The fact that Ukraine hasn't sent hardly anyone over into Russia to wreak mayhem is an indicator that the war is fake. A real Kievan would include taking the fight to the enemy, if only to move the crosshairs out of town and save his family's house from the bombs.
If I were Ivan I'd be setting truck bombs outside of hospitals churches and schools throughout Petersburg and Moscow.
Both sides want to see dead whites.
Fun facts: three U.S. states have larger economies than Russia: California ($3.1 trillion), Texas ($1.78 trillion) and New York ($1.7 trillion). And California's GDP is more than twice the GDP of Russia. The Russian economy is twice the size of the little island of Taiwan.
The outcome of the Communist Civil War is fully dependent on the whims of the West.
I have a more legitimate claim to the throne than this sack of melted candles.
He can pledge allegiance to me.
E: Whoever down-voted me is going to receive only a lesser castle instead of a grand estate.
E2: thanks for giving me my vote back.
Every help you give Ukraine will be used against NATO. The difference between a Ukrainian and a Russian is the same as the difference between Arkansas and Mississippi. They're the same people, man.
Distrust them both. They're commies that hate America. One is blatant, the other is subtle.
Nearest i could find, Khazars are turks who converted to Judaism in the 6th century and don't contain the ancestral blood of the 12 tribes.
Some people might use Khazar and Jew interchangeably. Seems to me like maybe they shouldn't.
Secondary hypothesis: hiding the stock market crash.
-
Bud Light knows its going to show poor numbers and lose value so they put a scapegoat on their can. When the bubble bursts and the stock tanks, people blame the trans cans.
-
FoxDisney knows its going to lose lots of money and investors because of DeSantis not playing ball with the Independently Governed Child Trafficking Depot anymore. So they fire Tucker and explain that that's why the stock is tanking.
Every stock is taking its turn failing, one by one. Really it's a collapse of the US monetary system, but they're making it out to be a hundred other different reasons.
You don't inject children and pregnant women with untested drugs just to cover up a money laundering/treasury error.
