Why didn’t you idiots listen when we told you during the first week about the alliance Russia and China had made prior to Russia invading? It’s nice to see you’re coming to the realization that the “Putin is a crazy maniac” narrative was all BS. US/NATO pushed this proxy war for the MIC by breaking their word to Russia. As always, it’s about resource (energy) control.
The BRICS countries hold the advantage here. It’s literally the old (NATO) vs the new (BRICS). Growing populations and economies vs stagnant ones (desperate to continue mass immigration to continue growth). Saudi Arabia, Iran, Argentina, etc. are on the side of BRICS, not NATO.
No, we’re all still on board with Putin being a sociopath, totalitarian a**hole in charge of a third-world sh*thole of a country that is completely inconsequential in the global stage.
You are a liar or deluded, probably both. With respect to whether the Russian military can defeat the Ukrainian military and occupy Ukraine, no one was ever in doubt about that UNTIL Russian cowards actually started retreating from Ukrainian cities they attacked (Kyiv and Kharkiv). Then some people reasonably started doubting the capabilities of the Russian military which even YOU must admit has been proven to be an inept, cowardly, undisciplined, and weak force that looks like a joke on the global scale. We ALL now know the true character of Russia and its military, and have reasonable doubts that Russian will ever be able to attain its goals in Ukraine.
Try, if you can, to understand the difference between what I just posted and the strawman argument you tried to create so you could post more Jimmy Dore stuff.
This seems somewhat reasonable.
It makes me wonder if along with "how could this war end?", another reasonable discussion could be "is carmin a paid shill or just mentally defective?" I'm really curious about which. Or could he be just trolling? If so, maybe he's doing a good job of tricking people into falling for it?

^^^^^^
Listen to what? You keep mentioning BRICS -- i.e., the wanna-be, overpopulated, poverty stricken sh!thole club -- but are unable to articulate why anyone should care. You have some fetish for the BRICS as if they had any factor in the Ukraine war at all. They are irrelevant to Ukraine.
In fact, the "alliance" is not much of a global factor at all. I don't think any foreign policy planners in the West are staying up at night worried about what a disparate, scattered bunch of second rate economies does to world order, or how such "alliance" affects US or Western relations with each individual country. They aren't. America is fine with India, Brazil, South Africa, and even China. It's only your useless, serfdom that we hope to eliminate.
Keep bring up BRICS so we can have an opportunity to use WTF? when we feel the urge.
The US gained 100% of Afghanistan and held it for 20 years. The US (and its allies) moved an entire occupying military force (army, navy, air force, marines) half way around the globe and conquered the Afghan-Al Qaeda military in a matter of weeks. They did that with minimal losses. Compare that to Russia which, going on 6 months now, can't even occupy it's smaller, weaker neighbor, actually retreats from some places, and has lost tens of thousands of Russian scumbag soldiers in the process. It would be like if the US military couldn't occupy northern Baja.
We could go on all day about how US efforts in Afghanistan actually serve to highlight the ineptitude and cowardice of Russian soldiers, so I hope you run this demented attempt again. You don't seem to grasp how ridiculous you look.
If they held it for 20+ years, how come their US-trained “democratic” government fell in 1-2 days?
For complicated political and cultural reasons that have jack-zip to do with the fact that the US moved an entire occupying military force (army, navy, air force, marines) half way around the globe and conquered the Afghan-Al Qaeda military in a matter of weeks. Compare that to the performance of your cowardly Russians, who can't even conquer a smaller, weaker next-door neighbor. As I said, Russia's performance would be equivalent to the US failing to occupy Baja. Or retreating from Ensenada. Russia is inept. The US has the most powerful military the world will ever see. Your idiot friend who compared the two looks like a self-deluded fool and, for whatever weird reason, you decided to join him in appearances.

If we won, according to you, all of those enemies should be dead. If 100% of them are not dead, then it is a failure because they could slowly build up their forces again, purchase weapons from ukraine (which came from us for FREE) and use those weapons to kill innocent Americans.
No, not according to me. And one would not by any means follow the other. That is an exaggerated and illogical premise by you. There are still Nazis in Germany. Did the Allies lose WWII? Get a grip on your zeal to criticize America. It makes you say stupid things.

or plot another terrorists attack, because they seek vengeance for a 20+ year occupation.
The US military has done an incredible job of essentially eliminating the threat of Islamic terrorism. Killed tens of thousands of Islamic terrorist around the world and destroyed their networks. Some evidence of the US military's incredible success in these operations is the absence of anything approaching the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 ever since. Sorry dude, you guys lost that one too.

I'm pretty sure carmine is an AI bot designed to drive engagement by always assuming the most inflammatory position.

You maybe on to something there with your last sentence.
A few months ago there were definitely Russian propaganda trolls posting here, but it seems they have moved on after being outed. Apparently, they started posting here when Russia was facing a ban from World Athletics. They were pretty smart and clearly well educated.
However, Carmen9 is just your garden variety tin-foil-hat-wearing-conspiracy-believing-nut job.
Just to backup my most-likely-case scenario...looks like RU wants to hold a referendum in Donetsk on whether to join RU instead of UKR. Have a couple of those go well and Putin can at least say he saved those regions from the 'Nazis' and call it a day.

Likely the will be some nuclear strike on Kiev, maybe even multiple nuclear strike sort of US did in Japan
And this asinine opinion is based on what exactly? You’re failure to pass high school history does not make you an expert in international relations. There is almost zero chance of a nuclear strike, because Putin knows that it would cause NATO to actively join the fighting, rather than just supply arms and intelligence, which is already more than the Russian military can handle.
A Russian journalist visited the Wagner Group HQ and posted a pro-Russia story about the group online. One of the photos “inadvertently” revealed their address. A day later, KABOOM, Ukraine send in HIMARS missiles and blow them to f***.

Ukraine says HIMARS were used to strike a Wagner military base in the occupied city of Popasna after its location was inadvertently revealed by a Russian war propagandist.
Nobody is “making stuff up”. The Wagner group Nazis are really dead. The rest of your post is unrelated drivel. Stay on topic for one post, please.
p.s. Any comment on the constitutionally of the Crimea referendum?
Never heard of the "Wagner Nazis".
Here you go, Magoo. Learn yourself up on Russia's Wagner Nazis. There are less of them today, than there were two days ago. They aren't exactly the brightest of Russia's Nazis.
‘Photobombing’ refers to when a stranger jumps into a photo as it's shot to prank the subjects. But recently Ukrainian troops practiced a more literal kind of photobombing, using Russian propaganda imagery to provide targetin...
Russia is ready to sell advanced weapons to allies globally and cooperate in developing military technology, President Vladimir Putin said, adding its latest arms are far superior to those of rival nations.

after seeing the utter failure of all these russian weapons systems, selling them will need the talents of a brilliant sales guy. Like Donald Trump. Maybe that could be Trump's next career.
But seriously...esp not being able to win airspace over UKR will make selling anything avionics related very difficult.
