They won't do that..

These wars are just about Business.. from Russia/Ukraine to Israel/Iran and China/Taiwan

You seem to be falling for the CBC hype


10 years, 6 months, 3 weeks and 3 days and NATO still hasn't entered Ukraine.

As of 2020-2022, Ukraine began allowing the sale of agricultural land. Nevertheless, foreign investors still face several restrictions and regulations when it comes to acquiring Ukrainian farmland: Size Limitations: Foreign entities are restricted from owning more than 100,000 hectares of agricultural land in Ukraine.Oct 26, 2023

Ukraine was reported at 413110 sq. Km (41311000 hectares) of farmland in 2021, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. Ukraine - Agricultural land (sq. km) - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on September of 2024.

Sorry Kennedy.

Ukrainian farmland is privately owned.
The State can't sell it to Blackrock.

They won't do that but they'll nuke NATO if they let Ukraine strike deep into Russia with long-range weapons? Ya know, because it's just business? Remember, you're the one fear mongering about nuclear war on here. Bedpan feels free to use Iranian drones and Iranian and Nork missiles to kill civilians in Ukraine, but don't Ukraine DARE to hit legitimate military targets deeper inside of Russia using NATO supplied weapons or else Putin might mess his bedpan?

As far as your CBC snideness, A) I don't watch CBC, it's garbage. B) Earlier this year Putin tried using the UN to claim the entire Arctic Ocean including all the other Arctic nations' EEZs as Russian territory. You don't think Bedpan is eyeballing Canada with our resources and possession of the North-West Passage? Think again, sports fan. He's also trying to claim that Alaska is still Russian because there's a tiny community of like 35 people there who are still culturally Russian, therefore Alaska is Russian and belongs to Russia. Finland, similar shit. He figures because Russia had some hand in Finland's past that Finland is Russian territory. He's also threatened the Baltics as well.

So no Boomster, I don't watch/listen to the CBC for news or "opinions" about war and other world events. There are far more knowledgeable and reliable sources for that. VERY few of them are news outlets though.

As for this war in particular just being about business, that's why Bedpan won't, or more accurately can't just stop at Ukraine now. Russia's entire economy is now fully dependent on the war. If the war ended tomorrow it's not like their economy would suddenly go back to normal and spring to life anew. The West won't be coming to help them like they did after the Soviet Union dissolved. Fool me once, etc... Estimates range after the war in Ukraine it will take Russia at least 10 years and likely closer to 20 years to recover economically from it. And that would only put them where they were prior to 2022, short of a miracle. So, this won't stop in Ukraine unless Bedpan loses.

Like I said previously, the trick now is to let Ukraine hit the targets they need to hit to make Russia's continuation of hostilities untenable but without completely destabilizing the country.

And you know why I don't watch/listen to the news orgs anymore? I'm sick of hearing how China has the world's 2nd largest economy as if it was some economic miracle. They've had the world's 2nd largest economy since at least the 1850s. I'm sick of their "experts" who know less about this shit than I do, although I do know fair bit. I'm sick of them echoing Russian and CCP military propaganda about how bad-ass they think they and their weapons are. They're not that great.

Funfact: Did you know that while Russia has the 2nd largest air force in the world, the Russian Air Force is not the 2nd largest air force in the world? #1 is the USAF. #2 is the US Navy. #3 is the Russian Air Force.

More funfacts: A single US supercarrier has more combat aircraft than North Korea has aircraft of all types in their entire air force.

And just for laughs, what the CCP claims are PLAN naval bases in "friendly" countries are literally just a single birth at what is effectively a commercial shipping port. China doesn't have a blue water navy. It projects zero power much beyond sight of China.

Ukraine used its own little cruise missile Palinystsia on Toropets. It was ready last winter and obviously it hits fast and hard.

They should have quite the pile of those by now.

I wonder if they can carry a 10Kt nuke? I'd bet on it.

Looks like Bedpan might go adventuring into Kazakhstan sometime soon. There have been reports of a Russian troop build-up near the Kazakhstan border.

But yeah, I'm sure it's just "business" too. The simple fact is Putin has a monstrous ego and has had one for some time now. He desperately wants to go down in Russian history as the man who reconstituted the Soviet Union. Not necessarily in name or ideology but geographically.

It's not "just business". It's 100% megalomania.

It'll be another bloodbath of humans and Russian equipment. There are only a handful of roads going into Kazakhstan.

Man, it just gets worse for Bedpan. For the 4th time now his Sarmat (Satan II) nuclear missiles have failed testing. The most recent one exploded in its silo. He can't even flex his nuclear muscles without blowing up a small part of Russia.

Kinda makes you wonder if when all these countries, China, USA and Russia start sending nukes, how many will just screw up and take out their our people.
