The president also criticized congressional Republicans, saying they needed to “show a little spine” and take up a bipartisan border agreement in the Senate.
Wow! I’d love to hear your reasoning on how with the US dollar is booming, low unemployment, GDP growing every quarter, interest lowering, consumer spending rising, somehow the US sanctions on russia are hurting the u.s more than Russia.
What a topsy turvy world you live in.
Russian has basically insured that their top export will become largely irrelevant in the next decade, without any sanctions.
That’s not the win you seem to think it is.
Also, yes, if you make up numbers, it can sound like Russia isn’t losing as bad as it is losing, if you also ignore how they’re crippling their nation economically, diplomatically and militarily for at least decades and are getting their asses kicked for 2 years now by a country they thought they would take over in a week, without any significant permanent land gains.
Russia is losing hard.
And again, even if they get their measly two provinces temporarily, the decades of diplomatic and economic blackballing they’ll endure for at least decades, especially since everyone knows now how weak the Russian military is now, has severely ruined their future.
All Russia has done with this is make himself look terrible. Morally, prove that you can’t trust any treaties they sign, show how weak their military is, and ruin them financially and diplomatically.
Meanwhile, Ukraine is going to be supported globally and be receiving restitution from Russia for decades, after having kicked their ass in a war Russia loudly proclaimed they would win and have lost for 2 years.
Dude, you just believe anything that you are told by people. I can tell you and show you that your causalities were obvious propaganda, and then you just shift to different propaganda.
You think that if it takes 20 comments to kind of convince you that 400k and 30k are bad numbers that I will be able to convince you that particular sanctions were not affective?
You saying that the agreed upon numbers are bad does not make those numbers bad.
And no, I don’t think you’ll be able to convince me of anything that I have better corroborated facts for from multiple credible and reliable sources, while you spout vagaries and baseless innuendos.
Having said that, I do like being proved right repeatedly, so feel free to take your best shot.
You literally are repeating the Ukraine numbers, and I point to less partisan numbers that are much different but you still think you are right by repeating propadanda. Sorry dude, you will not be able to understand any arguments.
Russia is losing this war by every measurable statistic.
They are losing more soldiers.
They are losing global goodwill and actively gaining international accountants aligned against Russia
They’re not gaining any land.
They’re losing more equipment. They’re losing more vehicles of aircraft.
They’re losing uncountable billions of dollars in oil sales that they are not getting back because the countries that used to trade with them are pivoting rapidly to sustainable energy.
They’re losing uncountable billions of dollars in oil sales that they are not getting back because the countries that used to trade with them are pivoting rapidly to sustainable energy.
In a few months, Germany reduced oil imported from Russia by 20%, from 35% and are actively replacing that energy loss with renewable resources.
Many other countries are doing the same.
Russian just cut off the remainder of the profit margin they had for their oil fields during extended years in the future they’ll be economically disadvantaged.
70% of renewable energy in Germany is fucking wood burning.
We are not even close to sustainability. I’m sure Europe can get by without Russia by relying on LNG and renewables, but my point is that sustainability is not happening.
Every year solar panels become more efficient and cheaper.
Solar cars are going into production that refuel 40 mi a day from the Sun.
Korean infrastructures are being installed by All of the most powerful countries sustainable and renewable green infrastructure at significant rates to phase out fossil fuels in one to two decades.
Wind farms are being installed at rates that break records every year.
Title currents are being used to produce electricity, more nuclear powers being installed this decade than an all of human history.
Web searching has become so fucking useless. I just wanted to look up how much solar has been installed on a year-by-year basis and make a projection based on that, but I can’t fucking do it. It makes me feel stupid and old, as if I’m some grandma trying to figure out how computers work. It didn’t used to be this way! I should be able to look this shit up no problem, but I keep finding the same fucking shit that’s only about 2022-2023 or propaganda pieces from think tanks. I can’t find a simple ten year graph. It’s maddening. I can’t even argue with your first point because I’m too fucking stupid to use the internet. Fuck this, I’m not going to kill myself trying to argue with you.

Russia is the loser here.
Dude, you just believe anything that you are told by people. I can tell you and show you that your causalities were obvious propaganda, and then you just shift to different propaganda.
You always say things are propaganda without providing any evidence or counterpoint.
All I’m doing is telling you about corroborated facts that disagree with your baseless theories.
That’s called evidence.
There are several facts that you can’t deny, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t real.
It means that they are true and you don’t like them.
Like Russia losing this war.

You literally are repeating the Ukraine numbers, and I point to less partisan numbers that are much different but you still think you are right by repeating propadanda. Sorry dude, you will not be able to understand any arguments.
By using corroborated facts from credible and reliable sources, I think my logical conclusions are more sound then your baseless ones.
So you still think the death are “413,000 Russian troops lost so far to Ukraine’s 31,000”?
Since the conflict is ongoing and we don’t have undisputed fact, I can’t tell you the definitive answer you want.
All we can reliably go on are the agreed upon estimates, which at the moment indicate over 300k Russian casualties and over 30k Ukrainian casualties.
Russia is losing this war by every measurable statistic.
They are losing more soldiers.

Only a few more decades until sustainability! 🤡
You are really behind the times aren’t you?
Sustainable energy is exploding.
In a few months, Germany reduced oil imported from Russia by 20%, from 35% and are actively replacing that energy loss with renewable resources.
Many other countries are doing the same.
Russian just cut off the remainder of the profit margin they had for their oil fields during extended years in the future they’ll be economically disadvantaged.

Sustainability is happening.

Wind farms are being installed at rates that break records every year.
Title currents are being used to produce electricity, more nuclear powers being installed this decade than an all of human history.
Sustainability is happening very rapidly.
Web searching has become so fucking useless. I just wanted to look up how much solar has been installed on a year-by-year basis and make a projection based on that, but I can’t fucking do it. It makes me feel stupid and old, as if I’m some grandma trying to figure out how computers work. It didn’t used to be this way!

Totally understand, search engines have degraded severely.
This is a pretty good overview of how sustainable and renewable energy is exploding, especially in the last 10 years or so:
https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/decade-renewable-energy-investment-led-solar-tops-usd-25-trillion
The US is investing triple the amount of money into renewable energy that it is into fossil fuels
10 years ago. Renewable energy had maybe a 12% share of the market, and in 2024, global renewable energy use is breaking 30%.

It’s too cost effective at this point to ignore renewable energy any more, so everybody is switching
