You mean Vlad shares my view?
Yes he did, he mentioned how the U.S makes policies and decision that are killing their economy
reply
Yes. But at this point they're doubling down on their policy errors. Russia/China literally only needs to hold their position in Ukraine and elsewhere. We are eating ourselves economically
reply
Russia is currently spending around one third of it's budget on military. That's not sustainable long term, unless they want to become North Korea.

Yes, Russia is even more economically dependant on fossil fuel exports than was USSR. It's basically mafia with big gas station that pretends to be a sovereign nation. But Ukraine is doing good hits on their oil infrastructure near Black and Baltic seas, likely that export route will be non-functioning soon.

then tell me what competencies, resources and economic advantages the eurozone has? is it the high national debt? the completely messed up currency? the ailing banking system? the failed climate policy? the deindustrialization of the continent? the massive flight of capital out of the eurozone?
reply
EU is dying organization IMHO. But still there are competencies. For example, most of the equipment used by Russian industry (factories) is German.
About currencies - rouble is even worse than euro. And, at the end of the day, we all believe, all roads will end to the Bitcoin anyway.
Can You provide data, please? Because Russia only has 30% Debt/GDP
reply
And it has nothing to do with debt / GDP ratio.

How they are losing? There are problems, but they aren't losing. Ukraina did mostly unsuccessful counter-offensive by not gaining much territory, but Russia managed anyway to lose few times more soldiers during that period. Military theory says that normally attacker loses are at least 3 to 1 vs defender's (more in urban warfare), here it was opposite.
60 billion aid USA plans to give to Ukraine is less than 10% of it's military budget, which could be no more than 2% of total federal budget. And it's not money they are sending, but mostly ammunition and military equipment, lots of that comes from already existing stores.

You are too emotional. I am watching this proxy war from a neutral perspective. First: You need to accumulate spending of the Nato states to compare it with Russia's efforts. Secondly, Ukraine is running out of manpower as it is losing multiples compared to Russia. Listen to Col. McGregor to get an idea and stop the mainstream media bs, they are not neutral. But if it makes You feel better, believe whatever You like.
