Trump was right when he said that he could end the war in a few days. All he would have to do is:

1) mobilize NATO and US military and move them on the border with Ukraine.

2) Tell Putin he has 2 weeks to leave Ukraine or we will help Ukraine kick them out.

3) if he doesn't leave move our forces into Ukraine and kick Russia out.

Quisling Joe would never do this because he sold us out to Putin for millions in bribes.

LMAO. Holy s h i t there's some morons in this group

Putin headed to Toledo next!


Hahaha!


Why hasn't he conquered Ukraine?


Maybe because it was never the plan???


Sheesh.

The Russians have continually lost ground since the start if the war.

There are many great military strategists here that personally advise Dear Leader.
It is epic to behold.

Continually lost ground? Ukrainians are taking Moscow any day now right? lol

What a retard. lolololol

You are living 30 years in the past ! The US army is small and weak now. The big maneuver wars we conducted against the Iraqis is no longer possible against a peer. Our industrial base is mostly gone. It will be at least three years before we with the Europeans can get to the point where we are producing enough artillery shells just to keep up with what the Ukraine is using. We have only stockpiled enough weapons for a short decisive war for decades now. We don’t have the stockpile of weapons needed to fight Russia and we don’t have the industry to make the war materials. Raytheon just admitted that there are thousands of critical components in the weapons systems that we are dependent on China for. If the Ukraine is indicative of the material burn rate we would need we have less than thirty days of supplies. We are the paper tiger.

NATO can’t defeat Russia militarily. Everyone everywhere knows that. The fools in D.C. know it. That was never the plan. The plan was for the Ukies to do well enough, hold out long enough, for the sanctions to work and for civil unrest to take out Putin.

That hasn’t happened. Putin is more popular than ever. The Russian economy is booming. The Russians and the Chinese are now allied. And the Russians are grinding the Ukies into dust while we deplete our arsenals. Oh, and BRICS is now an actual thing with a real gold backed currency that threatens to unseat the dollar.

Russia's current-account balance has collapsed, marking another blow to the floundering economy.

Surplus tanked 93% to $5.4 billion last quarter from a year before, according to the Bank of Russia.

That comes as Western sanctions continue to squeeze Russia's oil and gas exports.

Russia's economic woes are worsening, with the latest blow coming from a collapse in its current account.

The nation posted a current-account surplus of $5.4 billion for the April-June quarter, which marks a 93% plunge from a record $76.7 billion in the same period last year, Bank of Russia data shows. That's also the smallest excess since the third quarter of 2020.

It shows the heavy blow that Western economic sanctions — imposed on the Kremlin in response to its war on Ukraine — have dealt to the country's economy by squeezing its energy exports.

The worsening trade dynamics are also reflected in the plunging fortunes of the ruble. The Russian currency tumbled to a 15-month low of about 94.48 for each dollar earlier in July, hit hard by the country's weakening terms of trade.

"The decline in the surplus of the balance of the external trade in goods in January — June 2023 compared to the comparable period of 2022 was caused by a decrease in both the physical volumes of export deliveries and the deterioration in the price situation for the basic Russian export commodities, energy commodities made the most significant contribution to the decline in the value of exports," the Bank of Russia said.

Moscow's key source of revenue is through sales of its oil and gas products, but price caps and bans imposed on Russia's energy exports following its unprecedented attack on Ukraine have dealt a huge hit to its commodities business.

In June, Russia's Finance Ministry said that revenue from oil and gas taxes fell 36% compared to a year ago to about 570.7 billion rubles and that profits from crude and petroleum products tumbled 31% to 425.7 billion rubles.

Market commentators have weighed in on Russia's battered economy, with Yale researchers accusing President Vladimir Putin of cannibalizing the nation's economy in his mission to seize Ukraine.

Yet you offer no information otherwise.

Your dotage has not been kind to you, Local Voyeur and it’s very telling.
