It's over for Russia

A China-led development bank has suspended all business with Russia and Belarus, a sign of the limits of Beijing’s support for Moscow as it faces sanctions and censure over its war in Ukraine.
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) said it had put all activities related to the two countries on hold in light of “the evolving economic and financial situation”.
Mfs rly still gon be like ohh but Putin was prepared for this?
The more time goes by, the more I realize this is the same old cold blooded ruthless dictator Putin, not some new, crazy, raving lunatic that the media tried to depict him as
And that's why he'll win, cause his moves are calculated and ruthless, like the taking of the nuclear plant
While the west is in f***in shambles and reacting emotionally and not rationally and tactically
He'll get what he wants and the cost will be high, for the Ukrainians especially
He already won in 2014 when the west kept pushin Ukraine and played right into his hand to give him a reason for invasion
This just the end game now
And it's sad cause we can't do s*** and thousands of civilians will die and we can just watch as it unfolds
how is the west not reacting rationally and tactically?
worst case scenario if that nuclear power plant went up in flames?
Millions would die.
how is the west not reacting rationally and tactically?
The media is painting him and the war as some sort of unprovoked madman reaction, while this s*** has been brewing for 8 years now and there are legitimate policy reasons that Russia would launch an invasion
You have EU politicians openly calling for his assassination or demanding a no fly zone or threatening with further escalation
The sanctions aint gonna do s***, him and his oligarchs have billions on offshore accounts and god knows where, while the russian people are apathetic and this is their f***ing 10th or whatever economic depression in like 30 years, they aint gonna do s***
The tactical approach should've been done years ago with getting Ukraine and Russia to the same table and getting some sort of arrangement
The real threat to liberal democracies doesn't lie in f***in Russia, they've been crippled for decades
It's China we should be worried about and we're playing right into their hands with this s***
Again, I'm not defending Russia
I'm saying the west did a s***ty f***ing job playing the game and now ukraine is paying for it

Idk why people act surprised Ukraine was invaded. People have been talking about it potentially happening for f***ing years.

China realising that Russia gonna f*** it up for them too.
They were doing really well in the whole capatalist game of thrones going in there for a while and Putin’s threatening to take everything back to guns and missiles.
Would love it if Russia and the States went underwater
If nukes went off on that level, 99% of us would be dead within a year and the rest would be running about the deadlands like Mad Max.

I mean an invasion was kinda inevitable if it stayed the course that it has since 2014, but I didn't expect an invasion to happen now. Putin still had options, he still could have leveraged Russia's oil etc
It was much more than that, the tires themselves are crap

Makes you wonder what the Chinese would be like in land warfare at this point.
Lot of us didn’t even think the invasion was gonna happen.
Nothing is off the table
Biden was telling us for weeks and people were really like “oh, he’s just tryna start s*** with his Chicken Little routine”.
I haven't read into this but "peace talks unsuccessful" is legitimately the craziest thing ever. When people obviously don't want to fight for their f***ing lives and the lives of their families.

And the west cant say s*** to Russia, because Yemen, Iraq just to name a few
And the west cant say s*** to Russia, because Yemen, Iraq just to name a few
Yeah
Sadly this is standard warfare and has been for decades
God knows how many civilians dead in Yemen, Syria, Iraq
It only hits closer now cause it's a western/european country this time
But I honestly don't think it will result in a WW, just like Syria didn't for instance
There was a point there where it also felt like Russia and US could go for it and nothing happened

NATO holding war drills close to the Russian border, will this be problematic? Russia was invited to send observers but declined.
When’s the next Great Depression gonna hit from all these economic disruptions?
its been hit
