Yes, the general consensus from the collective West, just like Russia has lost the war! :lol:

By the way, the author can't even get the date correct! :wink:

Not the author. Which at least would be funny. Given his degree in semantics. :D

I’m not sure the perception is of Ukraine winning. :? Rather, given the“Special Military Operation”, which was supposed to lead to the almost immediate collapse of Ukraine’s government and Armed Forces, is about to clock up 18 months, yet most of the current news seems to be about Russia’s defending. Putin’s main hope now apparently resting upon a sympathetic regime change in the US, or the collective West simply getting fed up with it all.

If you read all the related news, it’s a commendably loyal zealot who believes/argues the Russian economy is heading for the sunny uplands.

Sorry about the lack of responses to earlier posts. Having gotten fed up with the heat in Paradise I’m touring “Swineland” :D Hopefully, I’ll be able to catch up on my eventual return. :wink:

I wonder what’s happened to Paphitis? :?

Oh dear dear, you (Jack Devine) are still beating the drums that Russia did not completely destroy Ukraine in the first few days of the invasion with an attacking force of under 100,000 Russian troops only when NATO has prepared Ukraine to defend against Russia the previous 8 years instead of ratifying the 2014 Minsk Accord. Despite of all that, Russia’s initial limited invasion did bring parties to the negotiating table for a settlement which was Russia’s intentions all along, but thanks to the collective West’s insistence that Zelensky should not sign the deal but instead fight the Russians to drive them out from ALL of it’s 1991 borders with NATO’s help, we are were we are today, a “war of attrition”, a slow but methodical method by the Russians to achieve their objectives, and destroying the Ukrainian military is one of them.

From a defensive position by the Russians, they are doing just that along with fighting all of NATO’s proxy war against them. Instead of weakening Russia, it has made Russia to become even stronger militarily in the future by not trusting the collective West ever again. For a moment the stupid West forgot that Russia has nuclear weapons and that should Russia go down, they will take the West down with them, and Russia keeps reminding the West of this fact every few days lately. In the meantime, NATO will remain frozen as it has been shown that NATO is no match for Russia militarily, as they rely more on destroying Russia financially through sanctions and stealing rich Russians properties such as yachts, villas and bank accounts as well as freezing Russia’s assets abroad. The collective West can only be seen as common thieves really in trying to enrich themselves with “spoils of war”. However, the financial hurt the collective West wants to impose on Russia has also boomeranged against themselves too. How does the saying goes, ah yes, “be careful what you wish for..............”! :wink:

Russia does not need a sympathetic regime change in the West for them to achieve their objectives in Ukraine, however, the collective West will get tired throwing good money after bad in Ukraine to defeat Russia which will cause regime changes in the West. That is a given. In the meantime, Putin will still remain the head of state in the Kremlin. :wink:

As for Paphitis absence, he must be busy going for his captaincy check training and is very busy in the simulator! :wink:

I am not referring to what OPEC says which is all positive, I am referring to the other nonsense the writer quotes from his selected sources especially this, in his effort to blur the issue

Eric Van Nostrand, an acting assistant secretary for economic policy at the Treasury Department, said the price cap is working, :lol: :lol: :lol: with Russian oil revenues down nearly 50% from a year ago.
Since implementation, this decline in Russian revenues has persisted even as Russian crude oil export volumes remain above 2021 average levels, he said.

The cap is meant to keep Russia flowing enough to avoid a global supply-side emergency while starving the Kremlin of the revenue it needs to keep fighting the war in Ukraine.

These cunts can’t help themselves not to inject whatever fake news and propaganda they can for the collective West whenever writing anything positive about Russia! :roll:
