The Fall of Russia

Hasn't fallen yet but it's very close....
Between Georgia, Syria, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Sanctions, Banking, telephone and internet...
Troops surrendering or running in huge droves...
Putin is pulling out last ditch efforts to hold it all together.

Funny stuff.

Can we send Biden over to cement his legacy and negotiate Putin's surrender now....

After he shits himself all through the Kremlin???

No wonder Putin doesn't want to talk to him.

You're an optimist.

Reality is, both Russia and the US have an interest in keeping Assad in power.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Trump using it as a bargaining chip. He's smart that way.

They just lost their circuses.

Hint , VD .
Make it at least 75% Truth if you want the Gullibles to also soak up the garbage .
They say CIA uses 80% as a rough guide figure .

So much for a BRICs currency replacing the dollar.

The Russian Ruble is in free fall. Gazprom had to stop buying Rubles....out of money.

The telephone networks are off.
The Russian Internet is off.
The banks have closed.
The last remaining year round port in Syria is about to fall too as Syria is falling and Assad is hiding out in Moscow. (Turkey gets that port and India is controlling the Black Sea).

Russian troops, not getting paid, are either running off or surrendering.

The famous "Dead Man Switch" is worthless as it is unlikely that the massive number of land based Nuclear Missiles are viable anymore as they once were 40 years ago. (Putin has NOT kept up with maintenance which is very expensive. The USA spends 50 billion each year to maintain ours....Putin spends that on his entire military...and not anything on his nukes)

So....

Forward looking problems:

Nuclear materials for sale on the black market to terrorist groups.
Russian mafia reforms
Worse leader than Putin rises to power in Russia.
China takes massive advantage of the situation and attacks Taiwan and sections of Russia.

What say you?

The Axis must be brought down to a weaken state. This is going to require the effort of all governments and citizens in the West.

I devour the news. I've not seen one report about this.

Just did a search on the fall of Russia--- Got nuttin' honey.

The commander of Moscow forces in "Syria" has been relieved of his duties. Moscow is closing all its bases in the provinces of Aleppo, Hama, and Deir

Is it game over for 🇷🇺 Moscow &🇮🇷 Iranian empires in " Syria" ? and where is the COWARD ASSAD? Moscow is closing all its bases in the provinces of Aleppo, Hama, and Deir ez-Zor and fleeing to the Khmeimim airbase on the Mediterranean coast.” related ...

“But BRICS is going to replace the USD with one their currencies and America loses its global dominance!!!!”
- RT, so called "Global South", dirty commies , nazis

Maskal/Iranian rats are on the run. Free Syrian army has taken Hama, Syria’s 4th-largest city with a population of 1M

but they are a long way from collapsing.

Countries allied with the United States are licking their ass at the UN, neutral countries like India and China are looking for streamlined language not to offend the Americans.
And then Russia's representative stands up and calls them thieves and murderers, proving it with the examples of Syria, Libya, Iraq, their bombings and seized oil fields.
The eyes of the US allies start shifting, their delegations pretend not to hear anything, some run away in panic from the hall. The rest smile and applaud to what they don't dare to say .
And you ask why the US ruling class doesn't like and fear Russia?

That money is barely enough to upkeep the nukes on a sub or for warheads on a cruise missile....maybe a mix of some of both. But not for 6,000 warheads. Sorry, the math doesn't work. Materials are commodity priced even if you can conscript nuclear physicists...
And just because Russia has created a war economy to replace the massively overused and outdated equipment (like howitzers) the barrels on the armored equipment still needs replacing after being used the way it has been. (It will blow up otherwise as its being fired) That doesn't mean it's capable of refurbishing a significant portion of its nuclear arsenal.

And a submarine needs a port. The Syrian port is going to be lost....so that just leaves the North Sea....which ought to be pretty frozen by now until May. Good luck with that. I don't think Cyprus is going to allow Russian ships.

Did you know that a recently damaged US Sub will not be repaired for 8 years?!

Russia can't afford the war in Ukraine nor can it afford peace.

It's in literally a "no win" scenario.

Putin also can't afford to begin conscription of Moscow and St Petersburg kids....that would cost him politically.

But the coming recession/depression after the war is over will also cost him plenty too.

Look at the Ruble....110.00/$1.00? That's not healthy for a currency that once was 28-32/$1.00.

30%+ Interest rates?
This is a healthy economy?
Less than 2% unemployment? That speaks to no available manpower. Not even for conscription as soldiers.

Russian army is now 26th on the planet and down from #2. (If it ever was)
