Ukrainian soldier says Russians are hunting them and dropping them like 'bunny rabbits'.
He says the Ukrainian soldiers are getting 3 days training in Kharkiv,
Allowed to shoot 2 magazines and being sent to the front in Bakhmut,
- And that Russians are far more well equipped.
He looks to be about 18.

As long as people like you lot keep supporting it;
Our government as well as all the others, will keep sending weapons,
- And more of these young kids are going to pay for it.

Not my circus, not my monkeys.
You can thank US neoconservatives for that.
But as for a continuation of the war the bloods on your hands as much as any others.
Good luck with your lines on the map.
Let them keep losing more lives and territory, if that's what you want.

"The lifting of any sanctions and the ceasing of arming Ukraine will not happen until Russia leaves all of Ukraine."

The West has sanctioned itself, Ukraine is a sideshow.

The West and their sanctions froze Russias foreign reserves and stole assets from individuals and tried to cap the price of oil, this has ticked Saudi Arabia off,
- Bye, bye petrodollar and US dollar as reserve currency.

America plays checkers Putin plays chess.

Russia wants a long war because the West is going to face financial collapse.
China and Russia and the other BRICS nations, including a dozen applicants inc. Saudi Arabia, Iran, Mexico, Argentina are going to end up destroying the west economically.
Germany's energy problems already cost it half a trillion dollars last year.

US is making war against China, but it needs it to buy it's bonds to fund it's debts.

"U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Thursday the United States would resume economic talks with China “at an appropriate time” as Beijing continues to sell its vast stock of Treasurys and as Washington warns against possible sanctions violation in relation to Russia."

Here is a picture from Bakhmut of about 65 Russian "Bunnies" dead in a field, left there for weeks by the Russians. This is a tiny portion of the front littered with Russian dead from their human wave attacks. The attack on Bakhmut has stalled due to the massive Russian casualties and loss of equipment.

Russia is still running out of tanks, armoured vehicles, ammunition, helicopters, anti-aircraft systems etc.

As for Russia taking on Finland, Estonia etc that's a joke. The Finnish army is disproportionately strong and, in a conflict, could be in St Petersburg in a few days. As for the Baltic states, they are presently hosting 1000s of US and British troops who would beat the Russian army into scrap.

Russia's oil and gas revenues are shrinking by the day as the caps and bans are enforced.

Russia is losing this war.

"That means BRICS nations new currency will become the worlds reserve currency."

Only someone who understands international finance in the same way as my budgie understands General Relativity would think that some other currency will replace the US$ this side of 2050 at best.

Ukraine will ran out of ammo in 6 months or less and theres nothing the West can do about it.
Russia and China are set to do 200Bln in trade this year and India is buying 1.6 million barrels of oil per day from Russia.

The US is the worlds reserve currency because of the Petrodollar, all nations previously needed it to settle their oil purchases.
Even Saudi Arabia is now selling oil to China in RMB.
That is now gone as countries are bypassing the dollar and making payment in other currencies.
This means that countries have no need to hold US dollars.
Also China holds a decent portion of US bonds, which are sold to pay US debts.
Many countries are now selling off their treasuries, and the US needs China to buy them to fund its debt obligations.
Also, many countries are joining BRICS
The US can't do anything except QE, but this increases the money supply and creates more inflation, which leads to the Fed raising interest rates.
Stagflation. The more the US prints money the higher interest rates go, the more businesses go bust and more people become unemployed, less economic activity and less tax receipts to government.
The US is expected to go into recession this year and needs to raise the debt ceiling to avoid a default.
The whole house of cards is going to collapse soon.
