Russia vs. Ukraine | Live From The Lair

Popp, this video needs an update!

it will be gorilla warfare

Fuck Ukraine. These assholes let the Russian army to pass through their territory to fight in Transnistria. And they gave back 6000 nukes for the pinky promise of sovereignty. They are stupid beyond african-american-gentlemen. They fucked us and now the hammer has turned and they are bitching about it.

Russia is poor when you compare economy. But they produce everything themselves. And the real question is not that US defense budget is 700 and Russian is 50 or 80 but what 50 billion USD buys you in Russia. And salaries of 1 million soldiers are 20 billion USD and for 50 billion USD they have military budgets of Germany, France and UK combined. Russia is the only military superpower of the two and while inferior in many aspects to the US only America and Russia could pull something like that in Syria. Russia waged a war for years without any problems they only upgraded and strengthened their military as a consequence of intervention in Syria while UK and France couldn't bomb Libya for one week before they called Uncle Sam for help because they didn't have enought of rockets and bombs in stockpile. Russia may be a joke on a lot of field but when it comes to military, technology, energy and politics they are a very serious great power and superpower on some fields. Overall theay are a great power with lousy economy and super military.

Popp, you are good with numbers, no doubt, but have you found an answer to this question:
- Why would Russia want to invade/occupy or install a puppet government in a part of Ukraine or the entire country?
That's a huge territory with over 44 million people living there with the lowest GDP per capita among European countries (except Kosovo), who do you think will have to foot the bill for all of them?
If Putin wants them, let him have it but he will have to keep them alive, provide oil and gas and make their income more or less equal to the neighboring Russian regions. Don't forget that Putin will have to pay pensions, too (same way he has to do in the Crimea).
That's simply the money that Russia doesn't have. That would set them back 20 years at least, there's no way in hell that anybody with any brain in Russia would agree to that.
