Russia is in very bad shape

[bill718]

It's no longer a question of "If" but when will Russia's war will bring down Putin.

“Putin is losing the war, so prepare for escalation”, reads the title of his most recent assessment. The spring offensive that Moscow was sure would result in a dramatic change in the situation on the battlefield did not achieve the Kremlin’s outcome. Putin’s military suffered some 800 casualties a day and ended up with little on the ground to show for it.

Russia also failed in its primary strategic objective: to break Ukraine’s fortress belt—a chain of well-defended cities and fortifications in the Donetsk region of the Donbas. The attempt to turn the tide of the war in Moscow’s direction fell well short of expectations.

China is getting desperate as well. Many of the most violent and corrupt regimes are turning into failed states soon.

 

[wamose]

Russia and Iran, two countries that have hitched their wagon to China, are both on their way out. It looks like China is a friend that nobody really needs.

China is allying with the smaller dictatorships and shitholes.

American Munchers are such fools .

Your heroes are diligently courting your favorite shithole dictatorships, so don't worry, still plenty of feral savages out there for you to drool over and worship.

Kazakhstan Jails Activists for Peaceful Xinjiang Protest

A Kazakh court convicted today 19 Kazakhstan citizens for participating in a peaceful protest against human rights abuses in Xinjiang, China.

During the protest, which took place in November 2025, activists from the Nagyz Atajurt Volunteers Group condemned Chinese government abuses, some of which amount to crimes against humanity. They called for the release of a Kazakh citizen, Alimnur Turganbay, originally from Xinjiang, who has been detained by Chinese authorities on unknown grounds since July 2025, and burned Chinese flags and a portrait of the President Xi Jinping.

A day after the protest, the Chinese consulate in Almaty urged Kazakh authorities to “take appropriate measures.” Local authorities then opened a criminal investigation against the activists.

Another great day for you vermin.

Not really. No more so than any other human being.

The propaganda over here is insane. It always has been, but as we get closer to the outbreak of the hot-war, it is getting really really bad. Most have no idea what is coming or they would not act like such fools.

No overall disagreement though I said "American Munchers" --- not just Americans in general .
Albeit they are certainly far from the brightest --- see here --- though you are likely correct in pointing out that they are bombarded by more Fake News than we are , for example .

BUT I am not so sure about a "Hot War" if by that you mean real fighting .
I do not believe that there has been a great deal of fighting so far in terms of ground action and , excluding the failed US effort billed as an airman rescue , the action has been mainly in Lebanon which I call Deflection Land .
It has all been Missiles , Drones and Bombs and each side has carefully avoided targeting their opponent's key infrastructure locations or simply not tried to find them because they are literally buried so deep and so secretly .
I cannot see the US Zionists invading Iran in any great numbers .
It is logistically horrific and any war would be extended because the Iranians are very well prepared and armed ,
Regardless of outcome I suspect Trumpfy would be obliterated mid-term .

More likely that some of the biggest fighting could occur inside America .
Now that would be interesting in a nasty way .

My YouTube feed has been giving me breathless reports for years about how Russia is losing the war, losing popularity, and how Putin is on his last legs, both politically and physically.

And yet...

Dictators and "autocrats" are difficult to unseat when their apparatus is fully integrated into government at all levels and the society itself. Look how long the Castro-ites have held power in Cuba despite utter failure in everything they do EXCEPT public education.

It ain't a popularity contest in those countries. The Powers That Be don't really care about popularity. It doesn't matter.

Agreed.

Russia can't even win a war with a small country like Ukraine.

Here is where it is going , imho .
The weather change signals GO and is what Moscow has been waiting for .
I have anticipated the long awaited push to take back Odessa and in parallel a move from Belarus more north .
People forget that Pooty upped his reservists to something like a grand total of 1.5 million moons ago.
For What?
To gaze at lovingly?

No . To finish off the job which will in part be covered by the noise from the Fake war with Iran .

Another dumb post by you. Go see a pyschiatrist.

It's people like you whom we really need off this Chat site because of old age and second time around immaturity , probably stemming from failing mental health but also because you have dumb News sources.

You truly are a Clown , Plaster .
Not because we hold different opinions , but because you are clearly not a bright individual and one who is too lazy to check matters before he spews opinions on matters about which he is essentially truly ignorant of.
A Muncher .

Yea sure, Russia is about to fall. This has been the same headline since 2022.


Meanwhile in Ukraine, they want to import Africans to replace all the white men they sent to die in this needless war, proving exactly what I said years ago.

Historically a common response. But yes, clearly a bad sign.

This war is not good for anyone. Not at this point.

A Russian source.

Nothing wrong with using migrant workers to shore up labor shortages.

Are they going to “migrate” back to Africa?

You know the answer is no.

 

[Papageorgio]

So much spin and BS on both sides, you can pick your view and bias and find tons of support for it.

I go by what I have seen and read and what has and has not happened.
Russia’s collapse has been imminent since 2022, I have no idea if it is true or not but four years after claiming it is imminent leads me to believe it is not true or it would be over already. The fighting is mainly centered in Ukraine, which takes a toll on its people, its infrastructure, supply lines. My wish is for Ukraine to keep its sovereignty, because Putin is evil and is a menace to world peace, however he has power and I doubt anything is imminent.
