SR,

Another cock up. That was not an announcement of the robodebt. That was an announcement of an intention to claw back money from welfare fraud.
The announcement of the automated debt system only came a year later in July 2016 and was only implemented later.

An easy mistake for a simpleton.

AC,

I see that you are quoting the Russian propaganda mouthpiece RT.

Some facts.
-Russia is burning off about $10m of gas that it cannot sell because it does not have the capacity to turn it into LNG
-Europe has already replaced nearly 60% of Russia's gas and while more expensive this is already costing Russia nearly as much as the EU.
-American HIMARS systems and now the HARM missiles have beaten Russia into stalemate and Ukraine is getting air superiority.

From what I hear the Russians are taking a huge beating near Kherson.

It's not propaganda.
That's just what the West calls 'Truths that make us look bad'

"-Russia is burning off about $10m of gas that it cannot sell because it does not have the capacity to turn it into LNG"

Yeah so what, they can afford to rub it in Europe's face while they freeze through winter because of their weak politicians and stupid policies.
Gazprom made 40 billion profit in 6 months.

"-Europe has already replaced nearly 60% of Russia's gas and while more expensive this is already costing Russia nearly as much as the EU."

Yes, with the help of Russian gas which they paid 5 times the price of, talk about shoot yourself in the foot...

"-American HIMARS systems and now the HARM missiles have beaten Russia into stalemate and Ukraine is getting air superiority."

No they haven't, at least half have already been destroyed, and Russia has HUNDREDS of multi launch rocket systems.

"From what I hear the Russians are taking a huge beating near Kherson."
Ukraine had at least 2000 dead in the last 3 days from their failed counter-offensive, and sometimes Russia even falls back deliberately so that when Ukrainian troops move forward ending up taking heavy losses.
Russia's not on any time-clock, it can keep this going indefinitely, and damage to western economies is much worse than the damage to Ukrainian forces.
The multi-layered defensive lines in the east which Ukraine built over 8 years will be lucky to hold for another month tops, then Russia will be taking a lot more territory.

"Ukraine is getting air superiority."
You must be completely delusional, where did they find a new air force?

AC,

What you post is complete bollocks. Not even RT claims the losses that you do.

Ukraine has air superiority in Kherson because Russia has pulled its aircraft out of Crimea. Over the last month or so Ukraine has been wiping out Russia's S300, S400 and BUK systems with the hundreds of HARM missiles Supplied by the US.

Ukraine has been bombing Kherson with impunity.

While Russia does have many MRLS systems all them are unguided and don't have the range of HIMARS. PS. none of them have been destroyed by Russia yet.
