"Will Trump Really Give Putin $26 Trillion in Ukrainian Resources?" was the headline of a recent Washington Post article.
Why does the WaPo think Trump will have any say in the matter.
Most likely he will make his offer and Putin will reject it and he will say it is all the problem of Europe because he has Iran and China to deal with.
Lindsay Graham claimed it was about 13 trillion and then about 9 trillion not that long ago... where has the added value come from?
This is exactly what is happening in Ukraine now. Some old guys have come running there, lobbying the interests of Blackrock and Warren Buffett , trying to buy up everything they can get their hands on cheap. And it’s as if they don’t see one simple thing: the overwhelming majority of those deposits they are gaping at are in the east of Ukraine, and every day they are gradually coming under Russian control.
Even more delicious is that the west seizing Russian assets will allow Russia to seize the assets of the companies buying up cheap resources in the Ukraine... meaning regions in the Ukraine with all their resources bought up by western companies can take those resources back without having to hunt down the officials that took the money those western companies gave to buy those resources and assets super cheap. This is a huge win for Russia and new parts of Russia.
The neutral part of Ukraine who choose not to become part of Russia can be debt slaves to those western companies... not Russias problem.
Proves once again how stupid the Americans are.
Trump owns nothing and has nothing to give.
They go on about leverage and power in negotiations... they have no power and no leverage in these negotiations because they are not going to stop support for Kiev and they are not going to drop the sanctions against Russia.
Trump might want to get Putin on side so he can better attack China, but Putin understands how the US works and trusts China and India way more than he trusts the US no matter who is in charge at the moment.
Trump said all the right things before he was elected the first time and when he got the power he revealed himself to be a bully... threats and sanctions and then comes the talking where he offers to roll back the sanctions in return for an agreement than benefits the US but might not have anything at all for Russia. This makes it easy for Russia to say no... and while those sanctions do damage... they also make Russia a little more independent and stronger and clear in the realisation that its future is with the rest of the world and not with the west.
Nobody should laugh off deep fake, staged or manipulated videos
since most people can be fooled by them.
Fortunately western public opinion has never meant much. Western countries will send money and resources to Ukraine no matter what their sheep think... no one even asks them. Have you had a referendum on such things? Of course you haven't.
And when it comes time to run away the western public will have no say either... it depends when the people with a financial interest in this conflict decide to cut their losses... the US and western MICs will be making lots of money over the next decade replacing the weapons and ammo stores of HATO... it used to be mostly cheap Soviet era stuff, but now it will be super expensive western crap that they are going to charge top dollar to send and store... and even when fully restored it wont be enough if WWIII ground conflict in Europe actually kicks off... Russia will be far more aggressive at hitting HATO forces than they were at hitting Ukrainian positions... military and civilian.
Ukraine was a rescue mission. A war against HATO will be exterminating a threat.
Why be shocked by the fact, that Comrade Kim sent his operators/advisors/observers?
It works perfectly fine for me.
It is Kievs propaganda to get SK to send some of its war stocks to Kiev... in fact it is probably in Kims interests to show North Korean troops in Ukraine because sending enormous volumes of weapons and ammo to Kiev will massively weaken South Korea and reduce its readiness the way it has for most HATO countries.
Of course testing NK ammo and weapons and systems in a combat zone does make sense but sending troops into combat that speak a different language from your troops is never a great idea... you would only do that if you are desperate.... and I don't think they are... but Kiev wants everyone to think that too.
And who cares?
First rule of propaganda is never believe them unless there is confirmation from their enemy or proof beyond question... and we have had neither.
Even the body was strengthened.
It is much more corrosion resistant because of better steel sheet quality and very fine anticorrosive application.
Is that the one whose body was made of fibreglass where the body outlasts everything else on the vehicle so they have fields of these vehicles sitting with intact bodies... because they don't rust.
Why aren't the two rear passengers operating as 'tail gunners'?
Was going to say... maybe next time....
The Ukrainians removed the ramps from APCs due to issues with the hydraulics in the cold, allowing Russian FPVs to strike directly into the hold.
So a possible answer to why the Soviets and Russians don't use amazing ramp rear doors like the amazing western countries do... the weather...
Finnish "experts" like Pekka Kallioniemi, Sari Havren, and and foreign minister Elina Valtonen claim that according to the so-called "blood experience" of Finland, the Finns historical neutrality is "useless" for Ukraine.
Sucking up to their new US overlords... these comments will certainly earn them some breadcrumbs... perhaps they will get ammunition production contracts?
