  • A nuclear weapon doesn’t have to be more precise than needed to hit an average county, in US terms.

    Yes, I know how nuclear weapons work, and usually a MIRV delivers warheads to airburst over military bases and population centers.

    Also the Russian economy has done nothing of the sort. Its good, nice things dependent on Western companies have died, say, cars production.

    I didn’t make this claim that the Russian economy has evaporated. The person I responded to did.

    What I actually think is that Putin is largely fucked if he can’t convince Xi to create and enforce using an alternative to petro-dollars and SWIFT to BRICS.

    Even if the North Koreans he’s recently imported help him take Kyiv, he will need money to keep his proverbial boot heel on a guaranteed drawn out Ukrainian insurgency that will never let his army sleep.






  • The Russian economy after over 1k days of war is evaporized has evaporated and now Putin is Xi’s little dog. so If we all work together, nobody will remember a country called Russia in 100 years. Nations are just a phantasy fantasy, and it won’t hurt to let go of some.

    I think it’s scary that the Russian Federation will probably “Balkanize” if Ukraine won’t capitulate, and with how many nuclear weapons it has, that’s terrifying to consider.

    Then again, they probably don’t work very well given what we’ve seen about the performance of the so-called “2nd/3rd most powerful army on Earth”. But even a few potentially in the hands of an even more unhinged maniac than Putin is unsettling, to say the least.
