I'm no highly educated international affairs analyst but it seems to me that, in the long term, Russia has a lot more to fear from China than from any Western nation. Russia east of the Urals is essentially empty, and getting emptier, chock full of natural resources, and more or less undefended. China wants both land and resources, is highly aggressive, and plans long-term. Russia is gutting itself in the West and will likely never recover its demographics nor its manufacturing capability. Shouldn't the Eastern borders be the higher priority ? I'd like to hear from people better qualified than me as to why I'm completely wrong. Or not.
Yes, the eastern port of Vladivostok alone, on the Pacific Ocean, in what used to be Chinese Outer Manchuria, is a Qing Dynasty asset that the CCP has not forgotten, and they consider the ceding of those lands to Russia under the Treaty of Aigun in 1858 an unfair treaty. In addition to mining resources, China is also wanting freshwater assets from the region. If China can acquire portions of Russia (or all of it) as a vassal state, that's also an attractive option. Geopolitics is merely a hobby for me, so you might do well to confirm these things for yourself if you'd like to know more. ----- Outer Manchuria,[3][4][1][2][5] sometimes called Russian Manchuria, refers to a region in Northeast Asia that is now part of the Russian Far East[1] but historically formed part of Manchuria (until the mid-19th century). While Manchuria now more normatively refers to Northeast China, it originally included areas consisting of Priamurye between the left bank of Amur River and the Stanovoy Range to the north, and Primorskaya which covered the area in the right bank of both Ussuri River and the lower Amur River to the Pacific Coast.
This exactly why China has never been all-in on backing their supposed BRICS ally. They're more than happy to watch their frienemy Russia hollow itself out.
Yes - and Russia has to be careful not to become the sacrificial lamb, that saves Tawain. Instead of attacking Taiwan, which definitely trigger WW3 - the West could tell China, that they wouldn't help Russia (as they definitely would with Taiwan). So it would be Russia alone to fend off China, and Russia is too that. It doesn't have to be an open war, Russia would not be able to withstand Chinese salami tactics, conquering square mile per square mile with settlers, economic dominance and so on.
Even Taiwan told America to help Ukrainians first, that Taiwan is not under immediate threat ! That making Putin losing his war will be a strong signal to other dictators not to invade their free and democratic neighbors!
Taiwan's remarks are absolutely poignant. Our problem is Trump has been beholding to Putin. I don't see that changing, but we can hope their relationship gets fractured because of the tanking of the Russian economy. Bribes become meaningless at their currency bottoms out.

Biden should have had NATO forces gather along Ukraine's western border as Putin amassed his along the eastern border under the guise of "exercises." Had NATO done so, it is highly likely Putin would have stood down rather than invaded. Being timorous is a mistake in dealing with tyranny.

The goal of humanity should be towards compassion, love, and charity not hatred, war, and chicanery.

I posted two years ago that economies do not turn on a dime. There is an inherent resilience. Sanctions take time to filter through and take hold. When that happens, the free-fall begins. Now is the time. Likewise, it takes time for economies to recover, if and when the underlying root causes for the collapse are corrected.
Did you ever speak on how after the war how Russia is supposed to rebuild? Let's say we get a peace deal in June next year, how is Russia rebuilding? You don't need their fuel really, unless you get the price at a severe discount, sure they have rare earth materials, but things were ok without using them coming from Russia. What does Peace look like for Russia?
It is interesting that Putin still has a job after all his mistakes, but I guess he has such a hold on the people he interacts with that they don't dare and the Russian people believe the propaganda and don't want to see what he is really doing to their country. Ignorance is bliss. What dead and injured soldiers, not my concern. It appears the economics of war haven't affected them enough yet either.
Ms. Baker is correct about the catastrophic loss of life on the part of RF troops on the Front in Ukraine, but she maintains that ruzzia is "moving forward." She evidently understands very little about a war of attrition. This is a program in which the defenders set up a "fighting retreat," taking some losses but destroying the fighting power of the enemy. The defenders give up territory temporarily in order to draw the invaders into positions that are poorly defended and where the invaders can be mowed down like wheat. Tsar Alexander's troops harassed the French invaders on their way east in 1812, but refused to give Napoleon the chance for a decisive battle. They gave up about 400,000 square kilometers of territory rather than fight to the last man defending Vilna, Minsk, Smolensk, Borodino or even Moscow itself. The losses among Napoleon's troops due to weather, disease and logistical failures as well as combat totaled about 500,000 men in the whole campaign, of which perhaps 180,000 died or were injured on the way to Moscow. Putler's army has already suffered 560,000 MORE casualties than Napoleon's in their respective offensive phases. Balancing cost v. benefit, the French "gained" about two sq. km. per casualty attacking the ruzzian empire in 1812. In contrast, ruzzia has picked up less than 1000 sq. km. net in the course of this entire year, at a cost of 376,000 casualties. That means that the touted "gains" of the ruzzian aggressors thus far in 2024 amount to 2.66 square METERS (NOT kilometers) per casualty, barely more than one thousandth the conquest to cost ratio of Napoleon's invading army. I concede that the proportion of deaths to wounded was much higher for the French Army in 1812 than what ruzzia has incurred in the last 30 months in Ukraine, but a soldier who has lost a leg is just as combat-ineffective as a corpse. "Attrition" is happening to the RF army right now on a massive scale. Whatever those 1000 sq. km. of mine-laden farmland and rubble might be worth, they are of zero immediate economic benefit to ruzzia. Meanwhile, the ruzzian economy that would need to support further aggression is in a state of free fall. The ruble sits at 113 rubles to one US dollar at today's close (spot FX). That represents a loss of 18% of the ruble's value in just 17 days. Coincidentally, that is almost exactly the amount by which the Brazilian real (no tower of financial strength) has declined against the dollar over the course of the entire past 12 months. Stated another way, the ruble is falling 21 times faster than the real. This ruzzian campaign of economic and human suicide cannot possibly form the basis for an outcome of negotiations favorable to Putler in any sane world. Pres. Trump is a graduate of the Wharton School of finance. I cannot imagine that, come January 20, Pres. Trump will be so naif as to the big picture to force Ukraine into a bad deal with an enemy that is on the verge of total collapse, both on the battlefield and on world markets.
Exactly. PLUS, a lot can happen in two months, now that Ukraine is "allowed" to use long-range missiles and continues to rapidly develop its drone and anti-drone capabilities. Biden's swan song present.
Ukraine was sold down the river years ago. They have been used as canon fodder and have failed. Fighting for the US hegemon was never a good idea even when it was the world hegemonic power which it hasn't been for at least 20 years now.

hello, i think I can help you. If you look at your computer, there is a search bar, and often it is a Google search bar. When you type in your inquiry (this is called googling ) the computer will then provide a list of websites that has information pertinent to your inquiry. Click on the links at your leisure, read them and often you will find the information and evidence you seek. Sometimes the info is not easily available, and if you have hours or days to spare, you can usually dig up the evidence. Of course, sometimes the info is incorrect, out of date...or heaven forbid !...propaganda or lies. So you have to use your judgement, your intellect and common sense to sort out the garbage. If all that is too much for you, you can apply at a University and do a Degree in Communications, Media or Journalism. That is how it works. If you want "physical" evidence then you may need to get a job with the Military, or in the government working as a Diplomat or Spy. It can be quite dangerous, so i recommend caution going down those paths. And it will take probably ten years or so of experience to actually get the "physical evidence" you seek. Good luck !

Wrong. Russia is not "such a large economy." They have a GDP about the size of little Italy. Time is on the side of Ukraine now as Russia nears collapse.

You need to look at PPP. If a Russian person can afford to buy a house in their early 20's are they better off than our young people ? Give me odds for Russia collapsing soon and say when. Reality is very different, our economies are teetering, our debt is enormous, our ability to pay is being destroyed from within.

Imagine keeping people caged like starving dogs, and expecting them to remain loyal.
Too slow, too cautious, too careful -- that is Biden in a nutshell. Some of his latest decisions should have been made over a year ago.
Biden should have had NATO forces gather along Ukraine's western border as Putin amassed his along the eastern border under the guise of "exercises." Had NATO done so, it is highly likely Putin would have stood down rather than invaded. Being timorous is a mistake in dealing with tyranny.
In an election year it wouldn't have helped him. The problem was Fox news and Sinclair media. And possibly Musk tampering with the vote. Anyway, escalating wars is not a plan for reelection..from the looks of the channels with high end graphics showing Ukraine battles, drones are winning the battles.
Even after the poisonings on British soil, by the Russians, Britain still allowed itself to be the Russian mafia laundromat. I’m deafened by the silence of no explanation of who or why this was allowed to happen.

We must constantly remind ourselves of what the wars deprive of us of both materially and more importantly spiritually. The goal of humanity should be towards compassion, love, and charity not hatred, war, and chicanery. Humanity needs a direction to travel lest we tear ourselves apart and end it all for ego and ephemeralism. Some good ideas are bad and some bad ideas are good in our current bizzaro world.

I posted two years ago that economies do not turn on a dime. There is an inherent resilience. Sanctions take time to filter through and take hold. When that happens, the free-fall begins. Now is the time. Likewise, it takes time for economies to recover, if and when the underlying root causes for the collapse are corrected.

Did you ever speak on how after the war how Russia is supposed to rebuild? Let's say we get a peace deal in June next year, how is Russia rebuilding? You don't need their fuel really, unless you get the price at a severe discount, sure they have rare earth materials, but things were ok without using them coming from Russia. What does Peace look like for Russia?
They'll counterfeit U.S. dollars.
It is interesting that Putin still has a job after all his mistakes, but I guess he has such a hold on the people he interacts with that they don't dare and the Russian people believe the propaganda and don't want to see what he is really doing to their country. Ignorance is bliss. What dead and injured soldiers, not my concern. It appears the economics of war haven't affected them enough yet either.
Ms. Baker is correct about the catastrophic loss of life on the part of RF troops on the Front in Ukraine, but she maintains that ruzzia is "moving forward." She evidently understands very little about a war of attrition. This is a program in which the defenders set up a "fighting retreat," taking some losses but destroying the fighting power of the enemy. The defenders give up territory temporarily in order to draw the invaders into positions that are poorly defended and where the invaders can be mowed down like wheat.
Tsar Alexander's troops harassed the French invaders on their way east in 1812, but refused to give Napoleon the chance for a decisive battle. They gave up about 400,000 square kilometers of territory rather than fight to the last man defending Vilna, Minsk, Smolensk, Borodino or even Moscow itself. The losses among Napoleon's troops due to weather, disease and logistical failures as well as combat totaled about 500,000 men in the whole campaign, of which perhaps 180,000 died or were injured on the way to Moscow.
Putler's army has already suffered 560,000 MORE casualties than Napoleon's in their respective offensive phases. Balancing cost v. benefit, the French "gained" about two sq. km. per casualty attacking the ruzzian empire in 1812. In contrast, ruzzia has picked up less than 1000 sq. km. net in the course of this entire year, at a cost of 376,000 casualties.
That means that the touted "gains" of the ruzzian aggressors thus far in 2024 amount to 2.66 square METERS (NOT kilometers) per casualty, barely more than one thousandth the conquest to cost ratio of Napoleon's invading army. I concede that the proportion of deaths to wounded was much higher for the French Army in 1812 than what ruzzia has incurred in the last 30 months in Ukraine, but a soldier who has lost a leg is just as combat-ineffective as a corpse. "Attrition" is happening to the RF army right now on a massive scale.
Whatever those 1000 sq. km. of mine-laden farmland and rubble might be worth, they are of zero immediate economic benefit to ruzzia. Meanwhile, the ruzzian economy that would need to support further aggression is in a state of free fall. The ruble sits at 113 rubles to one US dollar at today's close (spot FX). That represents a loss of 18% of the ruble's value in just 17 days. Coincidentally, that is almost exactly the amount by which the Brazilian real (no tower of financial strength) has declined against the dollar over the course of the entire past 12 months. Stated another way, the ruble is falling 21 times faster than the real.
This ruzzian campaign of economic and human suicide cannot possibly form the basis for an outcome of negotiations favorable to Putler in any sane world.
Pres. Trump is a graduate of the Wharton School of finance. I cannot imagine that, come January 20, Pres. Trump will be so naif as to the big picture to force Ukraine into a bad deal with an enemy that is on the verge of total collapse, both on the battlefield and on world markets.
Exactly. PLUS, a lot can happen in two months, now that Ukraine is "allowed" to use long-range missiles and continues to rapidly develop its drone and anti-drone capabilities. Biden's swan song present.
If Ukraine is casted aside, how can any coalition countries support aggression against Taiwan or care, for China invade?
Ukraine was sold down the river years ago. They have been used as canon fodder and have failed. Fighting for the US hegemon was never a good idea even when it was the world hegemonic power which it hasn't been for at least 20 years now.
by the time trump leaves office america will be the least trusted nation on earth. and the most isolated
Get out of Ukraine, leave them alone and let Ukraine join Nato and the you can have sanctions relief.
Can you show us any evidence about all these claims? I don´t care about narratives. Where is the physical evidence?
Erm , they don't need evidence,.they only just need to keep the sheeple fed their diet of feel good propaganda, considering the fact that NATO countries are pumping all their resources into Ukraine..and yet no results.
This is a classic case of don't believe your eyes, just the technocrats and experts
hello, i think I can help you.
If you look at your computer, there is a search bar, and often it is a Google search bar.
When you type in your inquiry (this is called googling ) the computer will then provide a list of websites that has information pertinent to your inquiry.
Click on the links at your leisure, read them and often you will find the information and evidence you seek.
Sometimes the info is not easily available, and if you have hours or days to spare, you can usually dig up the evidence.
Of course, sometimes the info is incorrect, out of date...or heaven forbid !...propaganda or lies.
So you have to use your judgement, your intellect and common sense to sort out the garbage.
If all that is too much for you, you can apply at a University and do a Degree in Communications, Media or Journalism. That is how it works.
If you want "physical" evidence then you may need to get a job with the Military, or in the government working as a Diplomat or Spy. It can be quite dangerous, so i recommend caution going down those paths. And it will take probably ten years or so of experience to actually get the "physical evidence" you seek.
Good luck !
