From the article:
US imperialism deliberately provoked Russia into a war with Ukraine
Fucking lying tankie scum.
Also funny that alleged “communists” support an authoritarian (increasingly becoming totalitarian) oligarch capitalist state.
Russia…
Ok, so far.
… emerges …
War ain’t over yet buddy. They ain’t “emerged” from anything.
…strengthened…
- Down over a million soldiers
- Basically out of tanks
- No air defence left
- Lost several irreplaceable AWACS and strategic bombers.
- The Black Sea fleet decimated and forced to hide.
- Running out of fuel.
- Economy set to collapse.
…from Ukraine war,…
…that it started.
…with profound implications…
How are we going to look after all the Russian citizens after the Russian state collapses?
for western imperialism.
Translation: Allowing countries to join a joint defence pact so they’re not an easy target anymore.
I don’t think I’ll bother reading that article. The headline was work enough.
LOL the russian economy is fucked up beyond recognition, they can’t stop the war or else their country snaps back into a fucking barter system - and even the russian economists say that.
and russia started that war, you lying piece of shit. also, they are not in war with NATO or else we would already have held a parade on the red square just to piss you off.
It’s currently a 182nd week of the 2 week police operation, Russians got to be tired of all the winniging by now /s.
I am glad this exists. How else can people who unlike me didn’t live under comminist regime get to appreciate the unique unconstrained by reality logic of a communist newspaper 😂
Wrong instance
A reality check:
Fuel Shortages Hit Russia’s Far East as Ukrainian Strikes Take Refineries Offline
My assessement: economically, Russia is very exhausted. Living conditions over there have objectively worsened. Inflation is so high that countries with a normal-sized police force would experience rioting (Russia has about 4 times more cops per citizens than a normal country, so it doesn’t).
Meanwhile, the weapons industry is of course booming and has gained lots of new knowledge. I’m not sure if the leading country in drone technology is Ukraine or Russia, but others are quite clearly bogged down in bureaucracy or lazy due to no perceived threat. Financing that industry is however close to falling apart.
Considering inflation (the same money is worth less) and the exhaustion of its sovereign wealth fund (saved up oil revenues) and considering that Ukraine is apparently enforcing a ban on oil refining in Russia (13% of refineries down in one month), Russia might have to reduce its military budget next year, despite not wanting to. (It has already reduced most other budget lines.)
Population has been reduced by emigration (those who could bailed out when it started), war deaths (about 1M men considered expendable are now dead or injured) and lack of births (people lack optimism about future). In fact, population data likely haven’t looked so miserable since the 1990-ties, for which reason publicaton of data was reduced.
Ukraine is, of course, experinecing the same kind of misery, but other European countries have enough resources to keep it functioning.
This could drag on for long, but would end if something broke. It would be far better if the agressor broke.
Had to make sure it wasn’t a joke.
And this Russia that has built up power, is it in the same room with us now? 😁
