Mainstream financial publications like the cccp owned Global Times News.

Yeah, you've been see see pee owned alright. Financial publications like Bloomberg and Financial times. Also, love how you're dumb enough to think your oligarch owned media isn't propaganda bud.

This is likely your problem, the mainstream media is brain rot, nobody reads it anymore which is why they are not doing well financially. I also dislike when people use “literally” when it is not appropriate in the sentence. It makes me feel like I’m talking to a poorly educated teenager.

Yup, them telegram channels sure know better. Also, don't give a shit what an ignoramus likes or dislikes. You're literally clueless.

Financing Ukraine in this war is a drop in the economic bucket, remember the EU economy is 10 times the size of the Russian one. If it is hurting the EU imagine what it’s doing to Russia. There are other reasons for the sluggish EU growth but this is not the forum for that.

Ah yes, that's why the EU is now struggling to approve another 90 billion for the proxy war.

Again with your mainstream media, you need to get off Fox news grandpa and get with the 21st century.

Show me a single fox article I linked lying little shit.

I will pay it happily if it keeps the Russian hordes in Mordor. On a more positive note I have found my European holidays more enjoyable for the same reason.

How to say you're a racist little fash without saying it.

You should be more careful about the sources you chose to post, unverified slop like this site makes you look like a bad actor.

Says the imbecile who gets all his information on telegram.

You then seem to think that Russia won’t collapse because America spends more money than Russia on defence.

Nope, that's just you having reading comprehension of a squirrel on meth. What I actually said was that military spending in Russia accounts for a small part of the overall economy, and that Russian industry has actually been growing to fill the niches left by western companies leaving. I also provided actual sources that aren't telegram channels explaining this.

The USA are also only spending about 3% of GDP on this war

The USA is spending on maintaining over 800 military bases all over the globe, and that sure costs more than 3% of the GDP.

China is by far the bigger player in Sino-Russian relations.

You seem to be under the impression that I think it would be a bad thing for China to have more influence over Russia.

Ah so a war of attrition is one where Russia struggles to take ground against their much smaller neighbor for 4 years while their economy goes down the toilet. I was such a fool, I get it now!

Wars of attrition aren't about taking ground, but clearly you lack cognitive capacity to get that through that thick skull of yours. Russian goal is the destruction of the AFU, and as the site linked which actually explains its methodology shows, that goal is progressing steadily. Once the AFU collapses, Russia can take any and all territory it wants. Just as it happened during WW2 when the front was static for whole four years and then the Soviet army marched on Berlin in months. But I guess they didn't teach you history at the clown school you went to.

Russian media ban is because RT is just a propaganda network, why would Europe let Russia beam propaganda in when fighting a proxy war, this is a no brainer and Russia does the exact same thing.

That's right, can only see wholesome domestic propaganda.

You can see your projection from the moon dude!

Cope harder loser.

I know right? This is why Russia is doing it and Ukraine is not, your words homie. I do love our little chats.

The same Ukraine which banned all independent media and opposition parties. Just how dumb are you exactly?
