"Zelensky is a Jew"
So is the Ukrainian PM Denys Shmyhal
And the Minister of Defense Oleksii Reznikov
And the Head of the Office of the President Andrii Yermak

And the Polish PM Mateusz Morawiecki
- But that didn't stop him sending German tanks to supporters of Stepan Bandera.

AC,

"ALMATY. Feb 3 (Interfax) - The International Monetary Fund's new forecast for the Russian economy, projecting that GDP will grow by 0.3% in 2023, points to the Fund's recognition of obvious things, but the dynamic of the economy will depend on credit stimulus and the recovery of consumer demand, Russian Economic Development Minister Maxim Reshetnikov told reporters in Almaty on Friday."

As any economist will tell you, you can keep up growth by injecting money into economies with huge stimulus. In Russia, this is coming from the vast expenditure on the war in Ukraine which comes from the wealth fund that Putin built up. However, this wealth fund is limited and the rate that it is being drawn from it will be nearly gone by the end of 2023. From this will not be built any infrastructure so desperately needed in Russia.

The EU ban and price cap on oil and the EU ban and price cap on refined products have reduced Russia's revenue by about US$500m per day which is in the ballpark of Russia's budget deficit.

For the status of Russia's aviation industry:

Secondly, most of what you posted about Stepan Bandera was Russian propaganda and his supporters are a minority in Ukraine. Also, the massacre that the Russians try to pin on him occurred while he was in a Nazi concentration camp for trying to liberate Ukraine from German occupation from 1941 to the end of the war.

The Russian attempts to paint Ukrainians as Nazi sympathizers are complete bullshite.

"Russia would never be stupid enough to use Nukes as it would end very badly for them and Putin does not want to die."

Don't be so sure.
It has a nuclear doctrine which stipulate their use.
(You're hoping they are 'scared' when in truth Russia doesn't give a crap what the west does anymore, they will respond to whatever situation arises if they must)
If we cross these lines in regard to Russian military doctrine then we're doing so at our own peril.
You really think a nuclear power like Russia will go quietly into the night without using all they have available to them?

They did that once already.
They trusted the West not to push NATO further eastwards.
It won't happen twice.

Putin has been opposing the West in it's attempt to ring-fence it for 14years.
He told them if Ukraine moved to join NATO it would take Crimea.
But the West wants NATO in Crimea to deprive Russia on a Naval base there.

President of Kazakhstan, Belarus and even Turkey were at one point much more accommodating towards the west.

When the United States foreign policy of threats, blackmail, regime change and military intervention were used against these people, they aligned more with Russia.

Even in the last week, many countries in Europe have closed their embassies in Turkey? (That's the blackmail part)
Now the US is saying there will be more terrorist attacks in Turkey.
(more blackmail, leading to a regime change - didn't they already try that in 2016)
- Simply because Erdogan says No to Swedish NATO membership.
(who themselves have a weird bromance with Finland who won't join without them)
- Enraging John Bolton.
(who's still screaming 'regime-change' for Russia)
Because he knows Ukraine is not going to win on the battlefield, and so does anyone else that looks at the current situation.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that (nukes)

Send your old broken tanks that need refurbishment and a 2000klm round trip to Poland when they break, which they will.
Send your old clapped out F-16's, it's not going to make any difference.

Meanwhile the West is dying.
Russia's economy is expected to grow faster the Britains or Germanys.
- Nice job shooting oneself in both feet.

Too busy focused on trying to harm another country than doing the best for their own people.
- This is why the west is going down the toilet.

Run by maniacs, with idiot bureaucrats behind them.
- And feeble minded citizens following close behind.

AC,

The tanks that Ukraine is getting are far superior to the T72 variants. Ukraine with modern anti-aircraft systems has been swatting the Russian fighters and helicopters out of the air so your boast of them being destroyed by the Russian air force is laughable.

The Russian doctrine until now is that Nukes will not be used unless there is a direct attack on Russia. Using even a small nuke will bring Nato into Ukraine and Russia's army will be rapidly destroyed and Putin will get a bullet.

The west's economy is doing better than Russia's and Russia's is just a sugar high until they run out of money.

The hamlet of Hrekivka population 53 has zero strategic value.

Ukrainian forces are still on the boundary of Kreminna.

As for w/Peter Schiff, Alexander Mercouris and Glenn Diesen their only outstanding feature is being wrong 100% of the time.

Ukraine lost between 500 and 1000 men in the last 24 hours.
It was the worst day for them for losses in at least 3 months.
If you hate Ukrainians so much then keep supporting the continuation of this war for the sake of a NATO base in Crimea and lines on a map.
Neither Putin nor the Russian people are going to give up Crimea, and they may well resort to nuclear weapons if this looks like a possibility, which even US analysts do not.
Keep escalating with longer range weapons and Russia will have have to take more territory to keep the people of the Donbass safe from harm.

Do you understand this?
This isn't about you and me bickering shadowminister.
At least 500 human beings, at a minimum on your side dead since yesterday.
People dragged off the street, older men 40, 50 and 60+ years old, handicapped people and now 16 and 17 year olds,
- Now nothing more than statistics.

That's what's being reported.

It's been claiamed the average lifespan of an untrained Ukrainian soldier in Bakhmut is 4 hours.
Zelensky refuses to strategically withdraw any troops, he has a political motive, he said after Mariupol that Russia would not take another city.
He is literally throwing lives away to buy time, when nothing is going to change the eventual outcome anyway.

And remember, I don't lie though sometimes I make mistakes.
Everything I've told you someone else more informed than me said it first.

"The Russian doctrine until now is that Nukes will not be used unless there is a direct attack on Russia."
Crimea has been a part of Russia for 8 years, there's a red line there.
They are not going to lose their naval base in Sevastopol.
I'd say try it and see what happens, but this is not an outcome I want.
