They are probably still there. So technically true perhaps. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Sorry, but if he has 700k in Ukraine and he still cannot win then Russia will not fair well in a world war. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Economically, Ukraine matters globally. They are significant providers/producers of multiple raw and chemical materials used throughout the global economy. The war immediately impacted global markets and invoked a significant response from countries accounting for a large proportion of the world’s population. Unfortunately your statement is misleading and inaccurate. No disrespect to your opinion. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Also worth noting those territories were the first initially occupied by the Nazis with a significant portion of 1941’s fighting occurring there and Jewish Russians were very specifically on the Nazis shit list | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
It always makes me question authenticity online anymore. I miss the old internet. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
I've seen 550k from us sources. They've been slowly building up over 2 years. Even with the death toll, the number of troops increases every month. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
> What pay out?
Well, that's the thing. The ruble may have fallen off a cliff, but there's still (on paper) compensation to family for combat deaths. And the Kremlin needs every ruble it can cobble together to pay for ammunition, even more so now that the ruble's worth less; so if you keep the dead on the list of active service personnel, you don't have to part with that money. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Well Russia had a big ally in NATO at the time. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

I feel like they've been saying this about Russia for quite some time. We put more sanction on them and hear about more frozen assets getting seized and yet things continue seemingly as normal as they seemed before.
I hope it does affect them but it sure seems to be taking a long time to cut them off | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Flour bags not potato sacks. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Maybe total deployment, counting all rotations, maybe it's at 700k.
Ukraine is deploying just over 400k. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Sure. But that other 40% is a big number.
Todays Russia has 40% less territorial manpower reverses to draw on than the Soviet Union did. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

The Russians have 50,000 fighting and 650,000 cannon fodder. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
It's likely way higher, actively engaged, accounting for thr recent surge and failed attempt on kharkiv, Russia soldiers on the front line is about 600k or so. Accounting for rotations and support, putin has committed over 1 million russian lives all for his futile and ill conceived attempt at some.kind of deranged glory. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
>Russian Trolls
Honestly, what do you expect them to do? They're Russian. The national pastimes are eating paint and electing murderous psychopaths. Do we really think they're capable of proving us wrong by working hard and contributing to the benefit of their species in any way? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
first of all, the RUB is no longer exhanged with either USD or EUR. theres new sanctions that came it that added MOEX (and by extension their National Clearing Center) to the SDN list.
second, while his claims are a bit exagerated, he is not really wrong.
The price of [1 toilet roll, with 1000 sheets is $5.55](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Scott-1000-Toilet-Paper-1-Roll-1-000-Sheets-per-Roll/15680997). that means 1 sheet = 0.005 USD
Meanwhile 1 RUB = 0.01USD (via opaque territory).
So, if you use more than 2 sheets of toilet paper, it is actually more expensive than if you wiped your ass with a rouble. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Delusions of grandeur and a massive inferiority complex. He knows he and his country are has-beens. So, as a result, he wants to reconstitute the old Soviet empire, wants to be feared, wants to be the leader of a great, powerful nation, etc. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
What a waste of life. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
In Russia? I guess, they could... drink more booze. It's not like they can get a little retail therapy, or much of any other kind of trapping of civilized society. They've got booze and war. Same as it ever was. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

I’ve seen a few claim this, but not sure what it’s based on. Is this the black market rate? The official rate is propped up by the government with lies, but it improved this week.
Edit: Nevermind, I see they suspended trade with the dollar this week after new US sanctions that tanked the Russian stock market | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

They're still saying 700,000 though so we should be sending Ukraine weapons and support in keeping with resisting an invasion of 700,000. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
I've been comparing 1 USD to Russian Ruble the past year.. it actually hasn't nose-dived. Russian Ruble is actually getting stronger. Why is that? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

You do realise that you can't just hope they'll go away. Because they won't. If they lose the election they'll just dig their heels in and go even more radical. You need to deal with them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
If hes actually being honest then he really needs to work on training them better, dudes are gettin their shit rocked | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Definitely. The Russian offensive has stalled and Ukraine is gearing up for a counterattack. They’re receiving fresh military aid and have received permission to attack inside Russia’s borders. The next phase of this war is going to be extremely costly for Russia. No wonder Putin suddenly wants to discuss a ceasefire. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
The gap between the coalition and Iraq in Desert Storm was significantly wider than the gap between Ukraine and Russia was in 2022. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
read bitch that's what I was agreeing too. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Yeah they throw hissy fits when missiles hit strategic structures in Russia, but it is much less significant when the attacks are localized to Luhansk and Donetsk.

Doubtful there are actually 700k. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
> but plenty because of Stalin’s policies and decisions.
To add to that:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag#Death_toll
The tentative historical consensus is that, of the 18 million people who passed through the gulag from 1930 to 1953, between 1.6 million[2][3] and 1.76 million[97] perished as a result of their detention,[1] and about half of all deaths occurred between 1941 and 1943 following the German invasion.[97][98] If prisoner deaths from labor colonies and special settlements are included, the death toll rises to 2,749,163, according to J. Otto Pohl's incomplete data.[14][5] | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
It makes no sense until you factor in that he is probably not being told the death tolls and the large proportion of that number are dead or missing | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

That is absurd if its true, it would rival the largest battles of ww1&2 and the napoleonic wars.
I do think it's incredibly strange how little coverage and footage of this war has reached the internet or seen media coverage. I've heard there's mostly been trench-style warfare. I can't imagine Ukraine has many able bodies left to throw at the Russian line at this point. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Well that's not entirely accurate. Around 2.4k were killed in action, while a much larger number were injured and taken out of action. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Now they're buying vacuums? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Firing weapons is not burning money. Dropping bombs is not burning money.
The money that creates those weapons and bombs is paid to arms manufacturers, that employ people that get paychecks and pay taxes to what ever nation they happen to live in.
Governments spending money in the private sector is ALWAYS a stimulus.
How this is not patently obvious to everyone is beyond me. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

The war probably would’ve been over long ago had the US and EU denied visas to all Russian nationals. All the rich Russians left and are enjoying their lives abroad on European beaches, facing zero repercussions instead of being outcast by the western world. If they were stuck spending their money in Russia, I doubt the oligarch class would let this war continue. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
I just checked exchange rates and it appears that USD/RUB is fairly stable this year... surprisingly. And stable on the 5D chart too. I was really hoping for some Schadenfreude, I'm sure it'll tank eventually. And I wonder if Saudi Arabia dropping the USD/petrodollar for oil is going to impact any of those global currency exchange rates. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

Nah, Putin will not hold real (genuine) peace talks until it is too late, then it's too late. He will always think he has the upper hand until he doesn't. Would he negotiate a 'ceasefire' to regroup, heck yeah, but it will not be a lasting peace. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

I'm not a military expert by far, but yeah, that's where a few things seem to go seriously wrong. It used to be a small special operation once, a *few years* ago... I assume it's "very special" now. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
They are committing a genocidal war.
They are doing so because Putin commands them.
There is no pushback, neither by actions in the country nor by mutinies at the front, meaning they are willing to submit to it.
Their moral duty would be to mutiny, return to Russia and get rid of Putin.
All power comes from the people, regardless of who is in charge. -> Power begets responsibility -> All responsibility lies with the people, regardless of who is in charge.
If there is a dictator making orders which are crimes against humanity it is the moral **duty** of the people to remove said dictator. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

Well, you need to understand that this is a *very, very* special military operation. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
If he doesn't mark them as dead aren't they still getting paychecks as living soldiers anyway?
I am legitimately curious how this is handled. Are there families in Russia who have not seen or heard from their family members in years but they just get paid until they are eventually reported as dead?
What is the payout to their family if they die in combat? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

Yes, they’ve replaced all their casualties and more, as confirmed by the US DOD recently. There able to recruit 1000-1500 people daily according to Ukraine. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Who has "a real concern" about a GFC? Who prefers to rebuild Ukraine with Russian money instead of winning the war with it? Give us evidence of your claims. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Yes indeed! Failing to win the battle of Britain was already the beginning of the end in terms of one domino falling after the other. Loss of air superiority, RAF building up whilst they lost a bulk of their Luftwaffe strength, and a continuation of the western front meaning they have to use the resources and manpower for a 2 front war, was a very early death sentence.
Obviously it's a massive simplification and many other events has to have happened for it to end the way it did and when it did, but basically it was doomed almost from the beginning.
I'll try and find a paper for it but I'm traveling rn, off top of my head it's discussed at length on Rest Is History podcast episode; 1940. Guest star is James Holland, expert in wwII. Fascinating episode. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Are they still calling it a special military operation? With so many troops involved, they should at least add a "very" in there. Otherwise, the nation may start thinking they are at war. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
And you still can’t win you arsehole. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Because believe it or not Russia actually recruited a bunch of people during this whole time. Their military is even bigger than when it started, even after all the casualties. According to the US DOD that is | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Is it interest only? 50 billion of interest from 300 billion of funds? Sounds like they should not touch it if it gives that much interest. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

My man those retreats happened 2 years ago. The ukrainian army isnt even near crimea yet, and after the failed summer offensive we know they cant get near to it. They are objectively winning, I know you are a obvious ukrainian nationalist considering spelling crimea krym, but dont dig your head in the sand. And they arent using T55s as tanks, but as artillery pieces, because a guns a gun and in a p2p conflict having more guns matters more than what they are. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
