That people no longer believed in it, but it seems they do believe in Russia and believe that losing this war would be a severe blow to Mother Russia, humiliating it to the point that it would disintegrate and its citizens would become second-class humans begging from other countries Then, they are willing to do whatever it takes. Imagine what Germany was like in the last year of the war. Well, the people continued to resist, with millions of soldiers entering in waves to devastate everything in their path. Berlin resisted. Compare this to Russia. People can't go to the disco more than once a month and to the restaurant twice? It doesn't seem like a sufficient reason. If the Russians collapse due to a little austerity, little would remain of the Russians who kicked out the Nazis at the cost of 25 million deaths. Let's not underestimate the Russian spirit of sacrifice, as it has proven in the past that it rises from the ashes and burns like wildfire.

Shit, then the British are demons who killed babies in Hamburg, and the Americans Uber demons who killed more babies in Hiroshima, and the Russians Uber Uber demons who killed babies in Alepo. Fuck, all are demons except the Palestinian, who haven't bombs, then they just rape 18 years girls, then cut their beasts alive when shouting of happiness and they burn them with gasoline for fun. You are right, it's very simple. Like you and raze. Very simple.

Incredible reading this clown. Why are you in a forum, eh clown? To show how moral and warrior of justice you are? Respect the people who think with the freedom that you lack, emo.

@Schahin So in your opinion, when the Palestinians, aided by a coalition of countries totaling hundreds of millions of inhabitants, declared war on Israel, Israel should have let them wipe it off the map. The same as in the other two wars of extermination that were declared against it. It's a valid and mature opinion. It implies that since, in your opinion, Israel is evil, it should have allowed itself to be exterminated. But there were crazy people, those evil, greedy Jews, who chose (in a crazy and evil greedy Jewish way) to resist the attempts at extermination by an ocean of Muslims filled with religious hatred. And well, there the bad Jews remain, oppressing the good Palestinian victims, and you, as a good guy , are very angry with them, like many others goods and moral people

@BlueOak This guy makes a pretty brilliant and in-depth analysis of the Russian war economy and concludes that Russia is a long way from being in trouble.

I don't bring un race. And about international law, any country that is in conflict does not respect them.

Perhaps a survival mechanism. They think the only way to survive is to be aggressive. You either expand or shrink, since stability surrounded by hundreds of millions of enemies is impossible. I'm not saying it's legitimate, just that it's a reality.

Devastating Ukraine would not help Russia at all. First, it would lose its legitimacy, but above all, the Ukrainian military does not depend on Ukraine; it is supported by NATO. Even if Ukraine is in ruins, if NATO continues to provide materiel, the Ukrainians would continue fighting, probably more fanatically than until now. The attitude of the Ukrainian military is surprising. They will endure anything for a cause that, really, doesn't make much sense, isn't vital. Regarding what you say about Putin, you're probably right. His replacement would be someone more radical, but probably with common sense, maybe patrushev, who seems bit paranoid, but smart , a Putin 2.0.

Russia is under pressure, but it seems its population is willing to endure much longer. They are aware that their nation's future is at stake, and the sacrifice they have to make isn't that enormous: holding out for one or two years. Harsher actions, such as devastating Ukraine further, wouldn't end the resistance if NATO continues to provide materiel. Russia's war isn't against Ukraine; it's against NATO. The problem for Ukraine is that the number of casualties and devastation is scandalous, but they don't seem to care. NATO obviously doesn't care either. Besides, China won't openly help Russia, but it has no interest in its downfall. It will contribute discreetly to maintain the balance.

Also this: 🏦 Financial expenses & debt for RZD RZD expects interest payment costs to reach around US $7 billion in 2025, compared to about US $1.1 billion in the first half of 2024. Its net debt is projected to rise to RUB 3.9 trillion (≈ US $39.6 billion) in 2025, up from RUB 2.54 trillion at mid-2024. Operating expenses in 2024 increased by about 8.6 %, to ~RUB 2.84 trillion. Revenues grew (~9.2 % in 2024) to ~RUB 3.29 trillion, but the much faster growth in financial expenses and cost pressures squeezed net profit. 🧾 Why this matters Because: When debt is very large and interest rates are high (Russia’s key rate ~17-20 % in 2025), the cost of servicing debt eats into profit heavily. Even with revenue growth, if financial costs rise faster the margin collapses. Large capital investment programmes (RZD has record investments ~RUB 1.3-1.5 trillion for 2024) mean high depreciation, high maintenance, and additional borrowing. The mismatch between growth in “top line” revenue and the burden of debt/interest/capex results in much smaller net profits, which is what we see.

This is true, but Chatgpt says this: ✅ Verified Financial Data — Russian Railways (RZD) In 2023, RZD reported a net profit of 118.3 billion rubles. (Source: eng.rzd.ru) In 2024, under Russian accounting standards (RSBU), RZD’s net profit dropped to 13.9 billion rubles, a fall of nearly 90 %. (Source: RBC.ru) Under international accounting standards (IFRS), the company reported a net profit of 50.7 billion rubles for 2024 — about a 70 % decrease compared to 2023. (Source: metalinfo.ru) Despite the profit decline, revenues actually increased by around 8–9 %, reaching roughly 3.3 trillion rubles in 2024. (Source: TASS) ⚠️ Interpretation The discrepancy between 13.9 billion and 50.7 billion rubles results from different accounting standards (RSBU vs IFRS). The profit collapse doesn’t mean the company is “collapsing,” but it does show serious profitability pressure: revenues are rising, but so are costs, debt servicing, and capital expenses. The decline likely reflects higher interest rates, currency volatility, war-related logistics issues, and heavy capital investment. RZD has launched a massive investment program (≈ 1.4–1.5 trillion rubles for 2024), which reduces short-term profit but supports infrastructure goals. 🧾 Conclusion Yes — RZD’s net profit plunged dramatically in 2024, while revenue grew. This means the company faces financial stress and thinner margins, not total collapse. It’s still functioning but under heavy economic pressure from sanctions, logistics rerouting, and high domestic costs.

I understand your point of view, that Israel is evil, then it deserves the murders of 7 oct. This view leads to total devastation. In your opinion Israel shouldn't exist, but in their opinion it should, so the solution is war.

Where did you found that information? RZD, which employs approximately 700,000 people, announced it will eliminate management positions and freeze hiring as a cost-cutting measure in the face of a drop in freight traffic. Since August 2025, some head office employees have been forced to take unpaid leave as a temporary adjustment measure, rather than mass layoffs. Russian Railways' freight volume has fallen consecutively in recent years (–4.1% in 2024 and –6.7% in the first nine months of 2025), forcing cost-cutting measures.

Not exactly religious fanaticism, but a necessary ideology for the creation of Israel. I'm not saying I agree with that, but it's a fact, a reality that comes from a millennia-old tradition. What would you have done? Nothing? If your enemies declared war on you, what would you do? What did the US do when they bombed Pearl Harbor or when they demolished the towers? If you do nothing, they'll piss in your face, and that's the first step toward disappearing. It's like that in the schoolyard and in nations. Are like now. Tribal warriors who founded something resembling a civilization Many hate it, but others don't. There are countries that promote the expansion of Islam. What is that idea? What are they seeking, war? What is Erdogan, or Iran, or Qatar doing? Do they want to found a Muslim empire? Be careful with these aggressive ideas; their consequences can be disastrous.

What propaganda do you like? To expel Israel? They've tried it many times. I like more the propaganda of coexistence without religious fanaticism You could say that the destruction of Gaza is a dividing line between a before and after. Israel has shown that if attacked, its response will be devastating. This could make its enemies think that it's not worth facing those consequences, while the alliance with Israel and the US brings benefits. The only problem is that Allah orders Israel's destruction and that, but perhaps it's time to leave the Middle Ages and enter the 21st century, where war is a terrible idea and trade is done with with friends and enemies. Seems that many muslims are understanding it. This isn't something trivial. Muslims must turn their backs on the philosophy of the Muslim Brotherhood. It's absolutely toxic and must disappear from the world. Otherwise, the consequences could be apocalyptic.

I said that maybe the Arabs will win. Win is the sense of expell the Jews, because in my opinion they would win if they coexist with Israel and take advantage of it. This Arab understands it https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKfIXbHtf-W/?igsh=eDVuMnk1b3kxenQ1

You can't coexist with a population of millions that grows exponentially and that promotes a culture centered on absolute hatred of you, that believes in a god who grants them the essential mission of killing you, and who rewards your murder with eternal glory. It seems a little uncomfortable. Anyway, about the sacrifice , that's the price of living there I guess. Seems strange situation for a democratic western society, it's not it's place, then this friction happens. Seems that the Israeli are willing to pay that price Maybe they will

Seeing it from outside seems that if Israel wants to exist as a nation, it cannot show indecision or doubt. Israel's enemies are coming to the conclusion that Israel is inevitable. This fact is causing Hamas. Hamas does not seek Israel's destruction; it seeks martyrdom by killing Jews, enemies of Allah, in order to go to paradise. It is the last resort of struggle. At some point, the Palestinians will understand that what they have been sold is a terrible deal. Then, a real peace could be negotiated, and the Jewish fanatics will be relegated. But as long as the existential threat is simmering, they will have a voice, at least it seems so by logic

Morality takes a backseat when you live in a state of war; what prevails is what works. In cases of open war, it's a good idea to treat prisoners well, as this makes them more likely to surrender. But in wars against terrorism, things are different. The US has Guantanamo , in Germany, terrorists committed mass suicide. If you're a Polisario fighter and you're captured by Morocco, you'll have a bad time. And if you're a Kurdish guerrilla and you're captured by the Turks, it's even worse, if you are a Chechen terrorist and you are going to be captured by Russians, better commit suicide

Maybe because Israel isn't facing a political conflict, but rather religious fanatics. There's no possible dialogue with them. It seems only Muslims understand this. For example those: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DP4Ea6zCNAu/?igsh=MWZiMzVieGY4dm40bA== https://www.instagram.com/reel/DP5yImKggDU/?igsh=MWFxeGw4N3Nhazl0MQ== But of course, in the other hand, it's almost sure than Netanyahu allowed the October 7, as those affirm. Demons playing with demons. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPeQ8OMiNsP/?igsh=MXdjdTBidGt1MXY5MA== But anyway, the facts are the facts and deserve a response https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPhcogjDKwD/?igsh=MWozaGx6bXB0d2RveQ== And this is caused by this mentality, that is common in the people of gaza. Then, what is the solution? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPs0IMpiOan/?igsh=MWRzMWE1dmNnMnJlNw==

All this about seeing others as human beings is very good until they position themselves as your enemies, then you see them as your enemies. When the survival instinct takes over, everything else becomes unimportant. You justify the October 7 attacks because of the Nakba or whatever. The Jews justify the destruction of Gaza because of October 7, so the Palestinians will justify whatever they do to Gaza, etc., until one side wins. That's how human coexistence works. When things get serious, the only law is that of the strongest. It's the law of life. At any other time in history, the strongest would mercilessly destroy the weaker as quickly and completely as possible.

The problem is that seems that the militarization of Ukraine with US support and the threat of including it in NATO wasn't a clumsy move, but rather one intended to provoke this war. Biden, when he was vice president, promoted the coup. When he became president, it took him weeks to say that Putin was a murderer. That statement was a declaration of intent. It seems the idea was to humiliate Russia until it provoked a conflict and then isolate it, achieving Putin's downfall and the balkanization of Russia so that its resources could be controlled. This has been impossible, but other positive objectives for the US have been achieved, such as the recession in Germany, the sale of energy and weapons to Europe, the obligation for all NATO countries to increase their defense budget to 5%, the reconstruction of Ukraine advised by Black Rock, or also and as some say, having achieved ownership of a large part of the Ukrainian lands

That's true, Chechenia seems a hellish situation. They are "friends" because the other option is the devastation. It depends, sometimes sufficiently hard war creates the desire for peace. For example Japan or Germany. I'm not saying that this is the case of Palestine. Palestinian are still willing to fight, but the countries around could see that there is nothing to gain with this history and would be better admit the situation. I think that it will be the case, but everything is possible

All of that is very well from our Western, emo perspective, but do you think Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and the Islamic world in general see things the same way and think about the suffering of the Palestinians? They respect strength. If they perceive weakness, their contempt is absolute. Right now, the opinion of Israel in the Islamic world is better than it was before the destruction of Gaza. Islam doesn't respect compassion, respect determination and force. You could see how good friends are Putin and the Chechens now, when they were absolute enemies.

I think that the idea is more buying everything around them. Buying in the sense that Islamic states see the enormous economic advantages of collaborating with Israel and the US. When Saudi Arabia recognizes the state of Israel, Israel will be officially legitimate in the eyes of Islam. It may take a while for that idea to take hold, but it will, and this will have a very important side effect: the opening of Islam. Something absolutely necessary for the humanity.
