Ukraine - Russia Conflict

venth Russian general, Yakov Rezantsev, killed in Ukraine

Ukraine has pretty much replaced its tanks it has lost in combat with Russian ones. If the war goes for another month Ukraine will likely replace all of its frontline active/advanced tanks with Russian ones. :LOL:

Today, yeah. But what about 10 years down the line, with an India worth $10T and a China worth $30T, and both interested in diversifying away from USD? China is definitely going to push for using yuan, could very well start in just a few years. India will eventually push for the rupee.

The dollar's worth is based on how much demand is there for it in the international market. Right now they do not have a real competitor. Not so in the future.



So China buys oil from Russia? And that's enough? What if Russia decides to stop supplying oil and gas to China? How soon do you think China can replace Russian oil? How desperate can Russia be to supply oil to China at the cost of their sovereignty?

Before the war, the Russians could balance their budget with $44 oil. With the new exchange rate, the Russians will be able to balance their budget with $29. Meaning if they sell at $90 over the course of the year, the Russians will be able to make a 3x surplus for oil. Which means they are earning the money needed to balance their budget with just 4 months of oil sales. Which means they can stop supply of oil to China for the remaining 8 months, enough to make China struggle to find a different supplier to make up for the deficit, but at a much higher price and a massive hit to their overall economy. Is that really a price China will pay to make Russia their "bitch"?

Energy suppliers always have the advantage. Why? They have the least to lose from disruption, especially so if prices are many times higher than the break even point. And the rise in prices will offset a lot of the losses later on.

Countries will simply find ways to buy Russian oil without using USD. No different from how Iran has been selling China its oil. They will find places willing to round-trip oil from Russia, like the UAE, Iran, Venezuela etc. Cheap energy in the Third World is a massive advantage to remain competitive.

Completely WRONG about everything.

Another addition to the long list of things you have will have been exposed for having no clue about. Why don't you try taking more pessimistic stances esp. w.r.t to India. It would be actually useful. You would remain entirely wrong but your powers would be used for the greater good.

Here is the table of Russian and Ukrainian losses of different categories of equipment. This data is taken from the website oryxspioenkop.com on the following page: Attack On Europe: Documenting Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine

What can be noticed by going to this site to have the details of the destruction and other losses is that the Russian inventory decreases while the Ukrainian one increases.

For example for tanks if we refer to oryxspioenkop.com where the figures are a little different because there has been an update we have
  • Tanks lost by Russians 308, of which destroyed: 129, damaged: 6, abandoned: 42, captured: 131
  • Tanks lost by Ukrainians 79, of which destroyed: 26, abandoned: 9, captured: 42

So the Russian inventory varies from 42 + 9 - 308 = - 257
And the Ukrainian inventory of 42 + 131 - 79 = + 94

They are using data from social media which is being shared by Ukrainians which will obviously not show a lot of Ukrainian losses. Ukrainian numbers are useless.

The main reason that their artillery has been so effectively accurate is because Russia's new high tech communication technology that's supposed to work anywhere on the planet stopped working due to lack of 4G coverage, so the members of their command ranks all throughout Ukraine started using regular cell phones to communicate and plan their attack. Which allowed the Ukrainian military to intercept their calls and pinpoint their exact location followed by sending artillery rounds to that location.

It's why the Ukrainian military was able to locate and kill such a high number of Russian generals. It's actually a pretty genius move. They even released a lot of the intercepted phone calls onto YouTube. You hear a lot of calls where soldiers were calling back home and talking shit about Putin & what bad shape at the Russian military is in. They also intercepted a high number of calls where they were fully laying out what orders are given, what the war plan is, what officer is in charge of their unit, exactly where their unit and that Commander is going to be over the next few days, and a ton of other priceless intel. A military who the entire world perceived to be the second most powerful and most technologically-advanced military in the world has been using unsecured cell phones to relay orders and discuss the war effort. That's just embarrassing on so many levels.

Although the content was uploaded 5 days ago, the recording of it is obviously older. I'm venturing it's some 3-4 yrs ago. But the insight this man brings to the subject is almost prophetic. He's predicting a bleak future for Europe in the next 2-3 decades & mind you this was recorded some 3-4 yrs ago i.e before the ongoing crisis, almost foretelling it, exactly as it's unfolding now.

Somehow, Mearshimer escaped the all pervading Irishification that almost the entire western world has succumbed to. It comes through quite clearly.

Just the other day , Paddy was severely constipated struggling to get it out , when a Russian member posted a video of a Ukranian tank being taken out by a CM recorded by a drone pointing out that such recorded footage doesn't come with sound in it demanding of the moderators that it be taken down on the the grounds that it was propaganda , now posts this drivel.

I suppose he thinks we'd either use advanced software to zoom in & confirm the tank's nationality or that he's in O'Shea's & nobody would notice but spontaneously break out into celebrations as if a goal was scored.

Then he goes into a sulk if we bring up the topic of his lineage or the broader issue of Irishification of the entire western world.

Do Ukrainians operate any 155mm artillery? I was thinking about sending them some 155 Bonus, Smart 155 and Copperhead ammunition.
