Hezbollah has long been an ally of the Ba'ath government of Syria, ruled by the Al-Assad family. Hezbollah has helped the Syrian Ba'ath government during the Syrian civil war in its fight against the Syrian opposition, which Hezbollah has described as a "plot to destroy its alliance with al-Assad against Israel". Huh… how ‘bout those apples?
Ukraine is fighting against Iranian proxies?

So there’s an Iran/Russia/Wagner thing going on that’s a threat to Ukraine? Hmm…

Getting more crowded on Israel’s borders, 1967-like. Interesting…
Russian support for Iran could change Israeli calculations about the safety and viability of future attacks against Iran, serving to counter the Israeli threat to nuclear facilities, military bases, and other targets inside the country.

$12.4 billion from Canada
$175 billion in U.S.
$27.3 billion from the EU
$13.2 billion of financial assistance and loans

So where has all this money gone?? Yes much is way of Military arms and equipment

They haven't gained any real ground.

They haven't had any elections, for a country we are fighting to have democracy.

Iran is under Putin's nuclear umbrella.

Doesn't matter. Putin will still lose the win. I said previously that by that point Putin can't afford to either win or lose in Ukraine.

As for the IMF, Russia's economy is a war-time economy also being propped up by spending billions on desperately trying (and failing) to keep commercial airliners in the air. Meanwhile the gas and oil he's selling to China is being sold at deep discount, basically meaning no real profit for Russia. Gazprom has lost billions just this year alone so far.
Nobody is buying Russian military hardware anymore. That was a sizable chunk of their GDP. Bedpan has also halted the export of all gasoline and diesel due to crippling shortfalls and the need to keep what they still have for domestic and military use. So, no revenues there either.

The Ruble is worthless, they have no more access to US dollars and China has backed off the Russian banking market for fear of sanctions. So, it'll get harder for Russia to buy shit with BRICS official currency, the yuan.

Russia isn't fucked though, they're so way beyond fucked they're looking at fucked in the rear view mirror. Like I said, Russia may win the territory they've gained but they'll have lost so much more.

Its worse than that. Oil fields that have sat idle are now frozen solid and dead. 1.2 M bbl/day that isnt coming back on line. Ever.

B0Ner didnt watch the video, he could have learned the money exchange is collapsing.

Putin's propagandists are literally telling Russian soldiers to kill themselves. If they've been seriously wounded, they should just kill themselves. Of course, this "advice" is only to save Russia money since there's no payouts to the family if a soldier commits suicide. Tells me there's a LOT more Russian casualties than Russia can financially afford.

The fuckers were going about death being inevitable anyway and other crap that showed they have no regard for human lives, except their own because they clearly aren't brave enough to sign up for the meat grinder themselves. Ol' Slobbyev or whatever his name is claimed back in October that he would have gone and fought for Israel but he's 60. Yeah and? He's fit, and I've seen Russian's over 60 that Ukraine has taken prisoner. He's still young enough for Pooty-poo's "SMO", he's just chicken.

Oh shit, the war is all but won now. North Korea sent Russia some Ballsac (or something) "tank destroyers". Well, if anything it'll show little Kim Duk Dong just how bad they are in a real combat environment. I predict they'll brew up even easier than Russia's old Soviet-era BMPs do.

Here's why. It's estimated that around 60% of North Korea's artillery shells are anywhere from useless to outright dangerous to the shooters. Useless as far as being duds, or not having enough gun powder to achieve even the minimum range of the Russian guns. And dangerous because some have a tendency to explode in the barrel.

If the quality of their munitions is that bad, I can't imagine their military equipment is worth a damn either.

So after 2 1/2 years of war and around 500,000 casualties and making almost no strategic gains, the 2nd most "powerful" military in the world has resorted to using Chinese made motorbikes and glorified golf carts to keep their motorized rifle battalions and companies motorized. And to top it off, is now taking delivery of "tank destroyers" that have never been tested in anything remotely resembling real world conditions, from a country whose leader, military and equipment are a pathetic joke.

If only Ukraine can hold on a while longer. They're so close to breaking Bedpan. He is fucking desperate for a cease-fire and peace agreement right now. Only problem is, his idea of a peace agreement is he takes an even bigger piece of Ukraine, Ukraine basically gives up its capability to defend itself by handing over most of their military equipment to Russia and give up all "silly" notions of joining the UN.
That's not a peace agreement, it's Ukraine's death warrant. I don't think Bedpan actually understands the word "peace".
