RIP inflation inside Russia.
Edit: empty shelves may become a common occurrence with the weaker Ruble...

‼️ Russia: “there have been several cancellations of previously agreed deliveries of fruits and vegetables to Russia from Turkey, Egypt and Iran recently due to the sharp devaluation of the Russian ruble and new currency risks when trading with this country”...

I'm hearing they can no longer afford to buy rubles with foreign reserves. Shouldn't be long now. Food availability is going to worsen quickly for them. The Russian people are in for a shitty winter, just like Ukrainians.
Keep blowing up that oil storage AFU. Let Putin taste that chaos of his at home.

The weak and struggling Russian military means only a small amount of assistance are available outside of Russia. Which provides opportunities for various rebel groups...

Russian propaganda going 24/7 on United States's conservative media sphere.
Total and complete fearmongering over WW3. And how the "Donbas" is not worth it. Let's just ignore the facts that it is not our land to give away. Nor should Genocide sit ignored on the world stage. Or how about Republicans crying and whining over Afghanistan rare minerals, but they are MORE than happy to see Russia and China claim more vital resources in Ukraine.

Russia claimed that Alaska is still theirs a while back. I wonder if Russia began pressing this claim with military force, the conservative media would make the same argument.

Biden can eat a dick. It's very obvious that US support will be gone in a couple months.
Ukraine can choose it's own future .

Doubt Biden has anything to do with the statement.
Which means it may be somebody educated and knowledgeable on the subject. As such, it might also be a common view among NATO planners. That Ukraine needs to go "all in" is probably sound advice. But then, so do we all. The Black Sea and the Baltic Sea need to be a Russian graveyard. Total blockade.

Looks like Trump is wanting to force Zelenskyy to the bargaining table before Putin runs out of meat and iron donkeys. I really hope the other NATO members can pick up most of the slack that Trump is going to induce the day he takes office. I'm sure they've been prepping for it for awhile.
Most of the people who voted for Trump have absolutely no idea what's going on with Putin's spetsoperatsiya in Ukraine, nor do they know that our aid to Ukraine is creating and maintaining jobs here at home along with providing the USA with valuable data on Putin's weapons capabilities and the field data we get back from our own hardware being used by the AFU. That's so tragically sad that they really don't know anything about that nor would they care if they knew given how there's no fucks given about Trump's personal friendship with Putin. They all could care less about what's happening in Europe until it's way too late to stop the ways in which it will personally negatively affect their own lives and even then they'd simply blame Trump's enemies or make excuses for their own stupid choices.
All of the folks I know that are liberals still find it hard to believe that given the abundance of reasons why Trump is simply the worst possible choice to make he's still "the people's choice of America". It just doesn't add up right. We all wonder if there are that many ignorant racist misogynist machismo driven dumb bully admiring people out there that can't see, won't see, refuse to see, don't care to see the actual damage to their own livelihoods and the security of the nation their decisions will create in the very near future.

He was on TV and yes it is that simple. It is ironic that this is also how Zelensky came to power lol. He's just not a total piece of shit unlike Trump.

My mind is STILL boggled. I have ideas now that we're on a bad trajectory. Where we go is where we go and it may play out worse than expected or even imaginable. But there's this quote from The Medium is the Message (or is that Massage, I can never remember, even though it's on my bookshelf)?
"There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is a willingness to contemplate what is happening."
Zelenskyy, before coming to power, was a very talented person, I know because I saw a clip of him dancing. He may not have lost his mojo AFAIK.
While he might not be the best leader ever i would say he's done a blood good job overall from what little we can see. He certainly stood by his country instead of fleeing which is a lot more than can be said of others...

Russian ruble
Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Russian_ruble
By 27 November, the Ruble had fallen to US$1 = 114.5 RUB, with the currency continuing to devalue at a rate of nearly 2% per day.
Seems to me if the Russian people starve they will rebel. Didn't Napoleon say "an army marches on its stomach?"

...and the Norwegians broke out the check book again - just pledged $2.7billion to Ukraine for 2025. 0.06% of their entire GDP. I heard the Czechs have no intention of halting ammunition deliveries either.

Do it Joe, show the world you aren't just a low information fascist moron with a podcast
Maybe make an apology for your nonsensical views that impact their existence before showing up, just a thought.

From what I have read artillery and its ammunition not in shortage anymore. More pressing needs lately are APCs, IFVs, small arms, and other equipment for their new brigades.

There was an article about Russian paying folks 100 ruble to place negative reviews on Stalker 2 (a new game produced by Ukraine developer); of 100 ruble doesn't go very far these days...

Offtopic, but just on this... if you can access this video from Planet America, an Australia tv show that focuses on the politics of America;
Maybe fast forward to 7:30... but the tl:dw is "its the economy..."
I'm interested in any thoughts after watching this, but PM me please. Lets keep this about Ukraine.

Civilian in a prop plane made the mistake of flying near a refinery in Salavat, Bashkortostan. Russians thought he was a drone and opened up on him.

What's a little more FF at this point?
