I think they'd been winning a largely unopposed fight for a solid 30-40 years before I was born. Largely because people were trusting, absorbed only in their own lives/TV etc

What Mr Miami Mansion (VZ) just said is their forces are nearly gone and dollar bills can't pick up a gun and fight, so the US will have to. I can't think of any mental gymnastics where running out of troops means you won but maybe you'll succeed there somehow.

There is exactly 0% chance I'd help our establishment fight Ukraine or even think of enlisting to protect the goofballs here. Vladdy can have em and we'd all be immensely better off for it. Well, minus the goofballs but they're fucked anyways just look at em.

He's not quite saying what you think he's saying. He's predicting a larger conflict if Ukraine loses. Putin won't stop and giving in to a man like him encourages him further.

And don't forget China's desire for Taiwan. This war is a bellwether for a China-Taiwan war. We give up on Ukraine and let Putin win and we give China the green light to start a war we will be involved in with boots on the ground.

Its basic behaviouralism. Rewarded behaviour is more likely to be repeated.

Can the behaviouralism end the conflict too? Is the current behaviour failing to punish or even rewarding Putin?

Would a different psychological model explain the continuation of the conflict, such as the frustration aggression hypothesis?

Here's what everyone needs to understand: Russia will never win this. Even if they are allowed to keep their illegally annexed territory they will be subject to terrorist attacks, rebel attacks and constant sanctions. Victory and peace are unachievable so long as Russia continues to consider the annexed territories as Russian soil.

Love all the bogus "journalism" surrounding that one.

Vlad isn't playing, and because he's anti globalist tranny agenda, they made up all the Russia hoax stuff to go for a double whammy. Of course they paint this as some random invasion by Russia but that is completely outside the truth. So are their assertions that the biolabs in Ukraine are "misinformation".

The bad news is many people (all over the world) paid attention to that whole charade and came to conclusions about who is and isn't telling the truth. You know, the ones of us who aren't mesmerized by fantasy sportsball leagues and dolled up e-roasties.

how exactly will they accomplish this? seriously I'm genuinely interested

unless Putin is hiding some kind of wunderwaffe, then the soviets don't have any new tricks to pull or new cards to play

after a year of conflict, the west knows every strength and weakness of the soviet army, who cannot be resupplied. the equipment and manpower being spent in ukraine by the soviets took them decades to stockpile, going back to when they were actually called Soviets.

Putin can conscript every old man and little baby to go fight, but it doesn't make any difference when he can't replace his armor, missles, electronic sensors, and anything that flies.

NATO knows its walking on thin ice when providing aid to russia's enemies, and the idea to keep ukraine in the fight long enough for russia to run out of "Stuff" is a good idea that avoids wider war while weakening something that was always a thorn in their side.

So like I said, unless Putin is hiding an army of Gundam soldiers, then there's no way he pulls anything out of this.

6 months ago Putin had alot more then today

they don't have all of donbas, they have portions consisting of incomplete territories of oblasts luhansk, donetsk, zaporizhia, kherson and territory crimea, and not a single provincial capital city.

and again, russia cannot be resupplied, while ukraine is enjoying an endless stream of the best military tech NATO has to offer.

again genuinely asking, how in your mind will Putin hold onto the territories he currently occupies with rapidly dwindling amounts 30 year old soviet hardware?

while the strategic defense initiative (STAR WARS program) was dominating headlines in the late 1980s, Reagen was orchestrating deals with the saudis to bottom the price of oil, to deprive the USSR of its -only- major global export. this had a cascading effect throughout the USSR economy, ultimately being the first or last nail in its coffin, depending on how you look at history.

i guess folks in 2022 thought that it wouldn't hurt to try again to starve russia of its energy revenue, of course in 2022, many nations were alot more reliant on cheap russian energy than in 1991.

the star wars program was 100% a bluff against the soviets, it probably could not have shot down a balloon.

yeah actually, that's not far off...

like the man said: soldiers win battles, but logistics wins wars.

and like I keep saying, russia can't resupply, and ukraine shops at NATO-Mart with an infinite line of credit.

all NATO has to do is keep propping up ukraine until the russians exhaust their equipment and supplies, which will occur sooner than later.

Anyone who is still willing to give the russians military hardware (Iran, NK) doesn't have much to begin with, and the only nation who could make a difference (China) has absolutely zero to gain if russia wins in ukraine, but they have alot to lose if they get involved more than they already are.

they also live in a police state, which employs more military assets against its population than it has in ukraine.

realistically, russia will die the same way that the USSR died, economically.

But that was already the Russian barrel price. It's always cheaper than Brent.

How does capping it do anything?

Because europe/the West insures 99% of oil tankers coming out of Russia, they can’t sell it at above the price cap to anyone in the world

Russia was selling exported barrels of tanker oil at much greater prices than that price cap. I have no idea where you’re getting your information, not anyone in oil clearly

Wouldn't the Brent barrel always be bought second if it was higher, which it was?

I have no information other than prices.

Patriam1066
03-02-2023, 02:20 AM
No, because there is limited supply of anything at any certain price. And the oil market isn’t purely supply and demand, it’s extremely speculative so it doesn’t fluctuate at quickly as things are bought. It’s not even really a market

There is not enough Brent for the entire planet, not enough west Texas intermediate for the entire planet, etc

Either way, Russia isn’t imminently going bankrupt, but it did help

Patriam1066

Europe could stop exports of Russia oil in tankers globally to a great extent for a year if they wanted to. India and China are getting insurers on line but it’s taking a while, especially in China

You’d need to talk to a commodities trader to understand this fully. One of my friends left engineering and works for Total at their trade desk in Houston and I asked him how this cap worked (and how it could be enforced) a few months ago because it also didn’t make sense to me

aussenseiter

No, because there is limited supply of anything at any certain price. And the oil market isn’t purely supply and demand, it’s extremely speculative so it doesn’t fluctuate at quickly as things are bought. It’s not even really a market

There is not enough Brent for the entire planet, not enough west Texas intermediate for the entire planet, etc

Either way, Russia isn’t imminently going bankrupt, but it did help

OK that helps. I had thought Brent was some standard price for all Western oil.

But I still think Russia sold all the crude oil they intended to sell, and first.

I don’t understand it enough to refute that point further, but to the extent I do understand it and especially talking to a commodities trader, it has had a major reduction in Russia profits

That said, they still are making profit. They are a petro state and India and China haven’t joined sanctions, plus India is moving BIGLY into tanker insurance

i see this happening too.

one thing im not processing tho is how they are gonna work out their trust issues in the military and gov't. like the indian army thinks the navy is trying to take over, and vice versa.

same things go on in the various offices of indian gov't, and their birthright caste system, its all holding them back.

and the fact that their entire society from the trash collectors all the way up to the president couldn't function without bribery.

you can't even get a drivers license without giving the guy at the indian DMV office an extra consideration.

the people are hard working, their cultures are much more homogenous, and they produce alot of great minds. but they won't be a super power until they get out of their own way

... there were many Ukrainians who boycotted the referendum.

Internationally, the referendum was condemned, despite Russia on March 17 recognizing Crimean independence. That same day, the Crimean parliament called for Russia to admit them into the Russian Federation.

On March 27 of the same year, the UN General Assembly voted with a wide majority in UN Resolution 68/282 that the referendum was entirely invalid.

It was also rejected by the entirety of the European Union, NATO and the G7, among many others.

He's not quite saying what you think he's saying. He's predicting a larger conflict if Ukraine loses. Putin won't stop and giving in to a man like him encourages him further.

And don't forget China's desire for Taiwan. This war is a bellwether for a China-Taiwan war. We give up on Ukraine and let Putin win and we give China the green light to start a war we will be involved in with boots on the ground.

That war needs to not happen at all costs. Will be the end of our way of life, whether we win or not, and we probably wouldn't win.

Win win situation for global countries.

Closing off Russia or least being on heightened alert with network traffic has reduced Russia world propaganda campaign.

This Russian war is bleeding dry their funds for even hacker activity.

Russian hacker activity is focused on Ukraine and lesser on the US and Europe.

Ukraine has huge agricultural and stores of oil that Russia should NOT have to grow their economy. And this is really the only reason Russia has gone to war with Ukraine.

Russia is destroying their global economy and now relies even more on fossil fuel sales.
The more time that passes the more their fossil fuel loses its value to green energy and their grasp on Europe. And Russia has messed up their global economic power for decades.

Putin needs to be removed or at the very least hated more by his people. Putin sending kids to their mass death has its effect.

Putin is 70 years old. He is showing deterioration good to have him dwell on a war closer to home rather than global mischief.

China, India, Iran and NK are really all Russia has for trading partners. China doesn’t want nuclear conflict. Good.

Finally we are seeing Russia’s true military capability and it is absolutely terrible.

The money spent by countries to help support Ukraine is a fraction of what it would cost to take down Russia before the war.

Best of all this oil squeeze is forcing more green funding and innovation. And Russia is funding less of the US GOP party. Less money to the GOP party is a good thing.

Asylum laws are antiquated. We couldn’t have imagined morons would still be having 7 kids per woman and our medicine would keep them alive but they wouldn’t recognize our ideals like women’s equality (so that women don’t have 8 kids per woman) and market economics. Europe, North America, and the industrialized east can’t absorb the onslaught of humanity just because it makes people feel good

Needing a better economic opportunity does not make the limes any less sacrosanct. We should allow people in who add value (our criteria, not theirs). If you don’t, go invade the next hegemon (China). And then we can see how magnanimous they are

/pol/ is literally like downloading malware straight into the computer that is your brain. it used to actually be a good place to debate and find out about breaking news but ever since the 2016 election and a bunch of shitters from reddit becoming political refugees there. it's gone pretty downhill like below the basement levels of bad. example, imagine like 100+ toxigens and trying to debate with them that gassing da joos prolly isn't going to solve the world's problems.

i don't recommend it.

Toxigen is here screaming please read my white supremacist literature over and over while everyone else is trying to have a conversation.

Ukraine is doomed in this war and will be liberated from globohobo by Russia. No amount of money or liberal delusion and propaganda can change that.

Ukraine is our friend the same way Osama Bin Laden was when we were funding him to shoot russians. protip we don't like russians in this country. you're welcome for the *checks notes* memo from 1945

What's your victory condition for Holy Russia?

if a nuke goes off, it was bidens fault and every lib that thought this war was a good idea needs to peg themselves infront of a conservative in the public square.

Imagine the legacy of the democrat party.

Anti war.

Pro environment.

Late 2023 versions the only ones to nuke the planet and threaten the entire existence of humanity with global thermo nuclear war.

He won't. They can win easily without it and would lose handily if he did.
