MrMakabar , to Ukraine in The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.22 to 16.02.24

Lenin, Stalin and Putin are not Romanov's. The Russian Empire collapsed and after a long civil war the Soviet Union was born. Then the Soviet Union collapsed and after some time Putin gained power and turned Russia into the current fascists government it is today.

The problem Russia has is that it is unpopular. So it always has to fight wars. As soon as it is too weak to do so, we see problems occur as countries try to take from Russia, what Russia has stolen. The losses Russia is having are too high for them to ignore. It is only a matter of time, that Belarus starts revolting again, Georgia and Moldova take back their land and Russia will be too weak to do something about that.

For that Russia has to at least freeze the war in Ukraine. With a war going on Russia is always going to be unstable. Loosing a thousand men a day and blowing up money is really not sustainable. At the very least when Putin dies, we will see some intressting events in Russia.

In WW1 Russia had between 1.7-2.25million military deaths from all causes. That obviously has created the Russian Revolution. That was with a fast growing population, which was about as Russias today, but obviously with much more land controlled from St Petersburg.

This is really going to hurt Russia long term. As in Russia will no longer be the most populous country in Europe badly.

MrMakabar , to Ukraine in Destruction of the "Caesar Kunikov" large landing ship on Feb 14th, 2024.

There are three landing ships in the Black Sea, which have not been sunk. There a number of frigates in the Black Sea, which are of similar size, but obviously have a different role.

These landing ships are great to transport freight to Crimea. It seems like Ukraine is targeting them specifically. If they are gone, it would make it a lot harder to resupply Crimea, if somebody were to hit the Kerch bridge.

MrMakabar , to Ukraine in Russia’s economy ‘in for very tough times’ despite improved growth outlook, IMF managing director says

If they do not conquer Ukraine, then they lost them as friends. In 2009 in a servey 93% liked Russians. Even 2019 77% of Ukranians had a positive attitude towards Russia. That is basically the other way around today.

They lost Armenia, when they betrayed them in their fight with the Azeris.

In Europe it is 20-50% depending on the country liking Russia and the rest hating them. Not just in Eastern Europe, but also in the West.

In Central Asia a lot of countries are moving away from Russia. They hear Russian politicans talking about restoring the Soviet Union and they do not like that.

Wagner happened. It failed, but it is the kind of even, which could change Russia very quickly. Due to sanctions and massive losses in Ukraine the bases for big changes is being laid.

The problem is that defence is a massive advantage in war in general and thanks to drones in this war especially. Basically as long as Russia attacks, they are going to have massive losses. Due to the US not sending aid, it looks like Ukraine is going to remain unable to launch a large scale offensive. Russia has not been able to really break through either. So the best case for Ukraine is that Russia attacks, but fails and looses as many soldiers and material as possible until Ukraine might be able to break thorugh or Russia is giving up. If Ukraine holds out somewhat well, they are able to destroy a large part of the old Soviet stockpile. If the Democrats win the next US election, then Russia would be in a worse spot militarily and Ukraine gets the support to attack again.

So high losses are still good for Ukraine, if Russia stops attacking, they might built up enough strength to really break thorugh later.

MrMakabar , to Europe in Wealth of the 1% of Europe

Honestly surprised the UK is as low as it is. I would have though Londongrad would have created a small group of super rich owning most of the country.

MrMakabar , to DACH - Deutschsprachige Community für Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz in 2 Prozent Vermögenssteuer für alle, die mehr als 4,6 Millionen Euro haben und gestaffelt bis zu 5 Prozent für Milliardäre reichen aus, um die Staatskasse mit rund 85 Milliarden aufzufüllen.

Die Oxfam Studie auf denen der Artikel sich beruft ist international und benutzt 5Millionen$ als Grenze. In Euro sind das dann 4,6Millionen€.

MrMakabar , to Ukraine in EU summit agrees €50 billion aid for Ukraine despite Hungary's veto threat

That would mean Ukraine has the finances to keep the government running for the next four years. That is huge news for Ukraine.

Putin has a bad day today.

MrMakabar , to DACH - Deutschsprachige Community für Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz in Ich persönlich danke euch allen auch nochmal für das durchhalten!

Weil beim Versuch die Bahn zu Privatisieren überall an der Infrstruktur gespart wurde und sie dadurch veraltet ist. Dazu kommt noch, dass es in Deutschland sehr schwer ist neue Bahnstrecken zu Bauen. Dadurch haben wir an vielen Stellen überlastete Strecken auf denen praktisch Stau entsteht. Deutschland hat nämlich noch recht viel Güterverkehr auf der Schiene.

Es ist um ehrlich zu sein ein Wunder das die DB so gut ist, wie sie ist.
