I get America knowing they're untouchable for the next couple centuries and laughing all the way to the bank but Europe watching their neighbour get slowly genocided by a two bit petrostate and saying "sorry, we can't afford to help, but don't worry it won't happen to us!" is Manchurian Candidate level bullshit

An image of the alleged consequences of the attack on Dzhankoy air base in occupied Crimea overnight emerged. Reportedly 3 S-400 launchers and a radar were destroyed.

In addition it is reported that 2 S-300 launchers and premises that held anti-aircraft missiles as well as Russian personnel were hit.

Neat!

Youtubes continued reliance on moderation via algorithm is manipulatable, has sucked forever, and targeting channels is easy info warfare. It isn't even new just a big bot push on now. Hopefully some actual humans get involved and sort it out. Russia would prefer silence rather than their L's being so public as they spin up the meatwaves. Again.

Putin is a real piece of poo poo.

like yeah long term turning yourself into a resource state is a very loving bad idea, but short term it means Putin can throw infinite treasure at this stupid mess and build up industry for further war

Nah India isn't splashing out unlimited cash to them. They turned that off months ago. What Russia is doing is throwing their wealth fund out and/or printing cash. If you decide to start up a business or change your business to a war related one then you'll get some $$ for doing so. Welcome to war time economies where no one gives a gently caress about how to pay for stuff aslong as it helps the war and we'll deal with the fall out of massive debt, 16% interest rate and a devauling currency at a later date.

Was India buying oil from them with hard currency at any point, or just rupees? The first deal was in rupees, and Russia basically wound up giving away the oil for free, because it turns out that nobody except India actually takes rupees as payment for anything, leaving Russia with a pile of worthless currency since India doesn't really have anything they want.

Rupees and then a bit in UAE Dirham. Both India and China told Russia to go gently caress itself about paying in Rubles as well as making sure they got oil on the cheap. If they both had paid even 50% of the oil in Rubles then they could of stopped the Russian currency further sliding into the shitter and actually helped it recover. But that's not what economic allies are supposed to do to each other it seems.

Putin would have already been hosed if Europe actually bothered instead of doing their political bullshit opera.
This war was (maybe still is) a very good chance for Europe to stop bickering, unite and come out of this as a very strong third power bloc that includes Ukraine.

Same for Switzerland, we could have helped Ukraine with weapons and gained some points with the EU which we‘ll need to keep our access to be the leeches we are. Swiss weapon tech is good enough for the NATO market, instead of securing access and trust forever, we are locked out of that market for good now. Kinda funny how a law made to prevent supplying African warlords turned into the sword that cut the head from the Swiss arms indsutry, because of a war with Russia.

I really is shameful how EU doesn't really seem to be getting its poo poo together at any acceptable pace. The Russian government is giving all signals short of actually attacking someone that Baltics, Poland and Finland will be next in some random order down the line, but they just keep dragging their feet and kicking the can further into the future. It may be a decade or two before this actually happens, but European NATO can only do so much if US just goes "lol no" when that happens, and the current pace can't handle anything that happens sooner rather than later.

Hahah stupid crests that was a decoy inflatable production and repair facilities of strategic bombers such as Tu-22M and Tu-160M.

Which was then replaced with the inflatable smouldering wreckage of a production and repair facilities of strategic bombers such as Tu-22M and Tu-160M.
