I feel like you purposefully ignored the rest of my post just so you could post these couple of links. I will state it one last time, the point is Putin is not being replaced by someone who wants the war to end, period. Anyone hoping for that fails to understand the politics at play here.

No not really he didn't, it is still just a "denazification" according to Putins rhetoric. Anyway the point is that the only real opposition or alternatives to Putin are also pro-Ukraine war and any successor to his right will believe Putins war was too little too late. Just as Biden is likely...

Specifically any successor during the war will likely drop any rhetorical semblances of this not being a conquest.

If Putin dies he will be replaced with a hardliner. It's similar to the Israeli/Palestine thing, some westerners fail to understand how united the population is on this.

Russia has 2 million men in their reserves, sounds more like they just have a byzantine justice system and these men were in the country illegally.

Germany's economy hasn't grown in years and Polands grew by 0.02% last year while the US grew by 2.5%. Europes economy *is* struggling while the US' has only become larger and more robust, leaving both them and China far behind it when 8 years ago Europe and the USA were equal and China was...

I'm not actually asking for anything, the other poster asked if the 1.8 billion figure was accurate and you provided him with the link I responded to. Just pointing out it doesnt say either way if the number is accurate.

You didn't even read that link did you? It mentions nothing of billions or the total amount of money spent, and only says they found evidence of multimillion dollar deals.

Basically everyone knows that Russias goal is to take all of Ukraine, maybe breaking up some small states to act as a buffer between them and NATO. It maybe considered an "open secret," but it isn't one they are even pretending is a secret. It's outright stated by people like Dugin, both today...

Not according to western analysts lol. I'm not pro-Russia or hoping for it, but a Russian conquest of Ukraine is a very real possibility according to pro-US analysts as I posted above. That poster may be delusional but so are you if you don't think Russia has a real chance at winning this war...

Once again, the ISW disagrees with you Institute for the Study of War

I'm not on the pro-Russia side, but this is way, way more likely than Russian collapsing and China taking the far east. It isn't just the pro-Russian side saying this, the very pro-west ISW has stated without western support a full conquest of Ukraine is a very real possibility. It's not going...

Just two more weeks until Russian collapses!

Literally what started this conversation that being said. @ATP said that Germany wouldn't go to war with the USSR because the two are allies and are going to divide up Poland, I said that's hilarious because they went to war when they were actually allies after having actually divided up...

this whole discussion is retarded. The point is Germany and Russia have overlapping areas of geopolitical interest and these will always lead to tensions. Both nations can not dominate Eastern Europe yet both nations security (economic and military) require doing so. Some gotcha about Nazi...

Did you forget that Germans fought the actual soviets even though they were actually allies at the time? The time they actually worked together to split up Poland.

I never said there was a threat to Germany, I've stated multiple times now that Germany is basically in control of Europe already and is lucky enough that the US gets to foot the bill for defense of it. I want that to stop, and for Germany to foot the bill itself for its little European...

1. Those troops are looking to be the only thing preventing Moscow from biting out a chunk of poland. Especially if my country decides to let Europe defend itself in the coming generation. 2. You repeat this in just about every page of every thread, so its "boy cried wolf" at this point.

You aren't wrong here but there's nuance. At the end of WWII a ton of European leftists, the type who saw the USSR as a failure/"red fascism," came to the US (you mention the french but a lot of them were Germans as well) and took up positions as teachers. These people started the "New Left"...

Which is why I'm in favor of putting some fire under Germanys ass to rebuild its military. It has achieved all of its turn of the century aims and has conquered Europe, but has thus far been utilizing American troops and cash to do so.
