Russian invasion of Ukraine

Yeah, I hear everything at MOEX is stable and immovable. That tends to happen if you keep it locked down and pretend nothing is happening.

That tends to happen when you stop foreigners from panic sales and force local businesses to sell 80% of their foreign currency within 3 days of transaction.

You love to see it. Each new episode is a barrel of laughs.

To answer in currency terms: po-tay-to, po-tah-to.

Imagine being afraid of free trade.

So Putin is king for life now then. Hopefully its a short life. Lavrov being a good dog as well.

Lavrovs wifes daughter lives in london, in a 4 million penthouse she paid cash for despite her and her mother having no job? Unexplained wealth order please.

I thought you claimed that this was all according to some plan of Putin's.

Imagine being afraid of countries actually using their reserves they built up through very same free trade.

Bigtime lol, heck my heating bill was reduced by 300$ per quarter this year, because gas isnt used. Apparently alternative methods of heating a building is utopia in Russia.


This time there's no "selling gas will get us out of the 90's nightmare" for Russia. It's their new reality.

Not sure which reality Shalcker is paying the West to learn? Change to other sources faster? Thanks!

Don't think i've ever made this claim to this specific action (given that i was banned before it happened).

[JohnBrown1917]

I'd put it as 94% "nothing will happen".
5% "Zelenski actually declares martial law (as his faction denied he planned to) that he will justify by coup concerns" then proceeds to wipe out opposition and their media outlets
0.9% "Actual Ukrainian coup happens"
0.1% "Russia actually attacks"

This post gets funnier the older it gets.

You’ve at least implied everything is going according to plan with the war.

Once 50 thousands of Ukrainian soldiers encircled in Donbass get destroyed or surrender DNR/LNR forces will serve as militia controlling situation in the rest of Ukrainian territories as armies currently busy there will roll West.

For the record, current MoD estimate of total Ukrainian military losses is 14 thousand dead.

Every single post is funny as hell. I'm quite amazed how he tries to spin everything with utter nonsense.

While I don't believe any numbers coming from Ukrainian side, they are more believable then anything coming from Russian MoD. The no casualties statement was hilarious.

considering your MOD thinks women and children in hospitals are enemy combatants i'd take that with a pinch of salt

Well, he's forced to obviously. He needs to post alot more to get paid the same amount after the ruble crashed.

Getting steamrolled by a bankrupt country with inferior equipment is a part of their 7D chess plan to taking over the world /s

While the war is a complete tragedy and wannabe Hitler, Putin, should be locked up for it. as a NATO country, it is rather funny to see just how toothless the Russian teddybear is. They couldn't take Estonia with the pitiful performance their military is showing in Ukraine. It's a joke.

According to plan!

Truth be told, he can't be critical of the war in Ukraine, or he'll end up getting locked up.

[XDurionX]

I will happily pay the price to teach Europe a lesson on how reality differs from wishful thinking.

Oh, the irony :-D

Hint: One party is locking up people who dare saying the truth, and it's not europe.

So...Russian forces went to Ukraine with several days of supplies with no logistical support whatsoever and get their collective asses handed to them...so badly that even the occasional Ukrainian begins to pity the particular soldier, Russian forces can't even use their encrypted communications because such radios/phones don't work in Ukraine; Russia becomes economically isolated as any foreign trade comes completely to a halt; other countries have become very interested in joining NATO (with one particular Finlander thinking NATO should join Finland...and I love that attitude!)...

...and we're all suppose to believe that this was "all according to plan?"

[jonnysensible]

everything is going according to plan

everything is going according to plan

now im going to have to listen to disaffected soviet punks.

Can't imagine Russias middle class is going to stick around, putin purging to bourgeoisie

Schrödinger's stock exchange, if they technically haven't observed the index rate, it exists in a superposition in between being alive and the Russian people's savings being eradicated.

Oh, the irony :-D

They live in a world where

1) Russia Stronk!1

2) Europeans weak and divided and dependent on our gas like humans are on air

3) Russia Stronk!


Grasping that Putin's actions have given new life to NATO, made Europe divert from Russian energy decades faster than otherwise and make NATO membership for Sweden and Finland even more interesting, is not possible for Shalcker.

The future for Russia is pretty terrible tbh. Sure companies and Swift will reopen, once the country move away from Putin or similar dictators. However their prime customer is gone and wont be back, instead China now gets to buy their resources and a reduced price.

Moving to green alternatives would always be more expensive, I have no issue paying for a faster change, which will be far better for our planet. It's just a bonus that Russians are sent back to the 90's.

Given that Zelensky given weapons to everyone willing to hold them amount of people who can be considered combatants had greatly expanded.
