    Civil war in Ukraine

    Actually Ukrainian ultra Nationalist should now prepare for their much awaited fight. They got the weapons and training from NATO. They also getting reinforcement from other Russian hating foreign nationals. So I think they can give Russian a decent punch. Interesting times ahead.

    Civil war in Ukraine

    In that case Vietnam or Afghanistan would not have won. You have a stronger enemy you fight asymmetric warfare. Just like US has fleet aircraft carriers you cannot defeat them 1v1 so you build Kinzhal type missile.

    Civil war in Ukraine

    Anyone with minimum high school economics, knows that we don't compare absolute figures. GDP BY PPP is the appropriate measure. On that front Russian are the sixth largest economy. It has lowest debt to gdp ratio, backed by strong gold and fx reserves, natural resources valued at circa...

    Civil war in Ukraine

    This is a big paradox, those wanting to live in a liberal society will inevitably choose the west. The west offers them a guarantee to higher standard of living. Those who stayed back in India have a more pragmatic vision. Never put all your eggs in same basket. Courtesy colonial history which...

    Civil war in Ukraine

    Just like our leftist have made a life selling bollocks about Modi, we have this Michael Koffman as the 'premier' Russian expert. He seems to be everywhere on all western media. No idea what is his qualification to position himself as "Russian expert".

    Civil war in Ukraine

    Conventional war Russia will have the upper hand. It is controlling and handling Ukraine that MAY be a headache all russophobes will gang up to support guerilla war. I'm sure body bags returning to Russia will not be popular. Or can Russia pull a zero casualty Crimean style operation.

    Civil war in Ukraine

    Yes India want to remain unaligned. But for its cause everyone need to step up. You can never be strong on borrowed strength. RUSSIA if they abstain from siding with Pakistan and China that is itself a big win.

    Civil war in Ukraine

    To tackle Turkey, Russia need not to do anything directly. Just arm Greeks, Armenians, Syrians, Bulgarians and Kurds to the teeth that should give many incentive to tackle the Turkish overlords😂

    Civil war in Ukraine

    Can it afford and sustain a force that large. Once transit fee goes to nil, trading with Russia goes for a toss. Who will foot the bill for Ukraine? This country needs money and West is not inclined to take up that cause.

    Civil war in Ukraine

    No it is not irony or sarcasm. Once the Russian bear backs off, Ukraine elites will have to answer and explain their performance. I think Nord stream 2 coupled with potential cost to prop up Ukraine has deterred him. He was bluffing all along.
