Its not the SU-57s that Ukraine should be that worried about. There are only 22 of them, and the ones that aren't under maintenance are probably tasked with being the anti-bomber force for Russia, meant to intercept B-52, B-2s, and such (similar to how the US has a bunch of the F-22s tasked). Russia also really doesn't want the US getting radar scans of the SU-57 unnecessarily. A few of them might be tasked with seeking out F-16s and other Ukrainians jets, but probably won't do much more than lob R-77 missiles from long range. Losing one to an F-16 would also be a major embarrassment. Its the SU-35s that Ukraine should really be worried about. These are pretty modern, capable fighters that Russia has ~118 of. Russia isn't going to sweat losing a couple of them, and doesn't care if NATO scans them because they aren't supposed to be stealth.

That, I'm not so sure of. Ukraine has been increasingly daring in its launching of surprise attacks on Russian targets without requesting permission from the US ahead of time, and it's causing some noticeable tension with the US. The risk of taking out Russian nuclear triad assets is one of the US's top reservations with giving Ukraine carte blanche to strike whatever it chooses, for exactly this reason. But after denying Ukraine permission a few too many times for Ukraine's own liking, they are pulling the same move as Israel and calling America's bluff. They know that the Biden Administration is politically invested in helping Ukraine, so they are pushing the envelope and daring the US to withhold aid as punishment for violating their rules. Though, I'd be very surprised if they knocked out nuclear-related stuff in this attack. I bet Rostov could plausibly store nukes, but they wouldn't be part of the nuclear triad for MAD purposes. They wouldn't be an ICBM or nuclear bomber, and I don't think Russia has a nuclear submarine port there -- at least not one that it's been using in the last year of the year, when Ukraine developed the range to strike targets as far as Crimea (because Rostov is even closer to Ukrainian front lines than the farthest reaches of Crimea).

Russian airfields are where a number of Russian nuclear weapons are stored. The USA understandably doesn't want to play a part in compromising the security of those weapons. The last thing that the state department wants is an allegation that a plutonium pit got flung several kilometers away from an airbase as a result of an ATACMS strike and that it can't be located. Russia may also view an attack on a part of its nuclear deterence quite negatively, especially if done with American weapons.

It's fairly similar to the USA's posture: The 2022 Nuclear Posture Review includes this wording: "nuclear weapons are required to deter not only nuclear attack, but also a narrow range of other high consequence, strategic-level attacks." which effectively means "if a certain number of 'strategic' targets are attacked, the US may choose to use nuclear weapons".

Yes and no. When you are attacking in general defenders will have an advantage but that only works if the defenders know where you are and can position themselves to defend against you. Right now Ukraine has the initiative and Russia does not have the manpower mass necessary to do counterattacks that result in anything at all effectively. That will change in the future but it takes time to move units around. And while they do that Ukraine probably has planned minimum objectives as well as if we can grab this or that even better objectives and is moving with a plan. While the recon units are just fucking shit up left and right as they move ahead of the main thrust trying to encounter advanced elements of Russian forces and pulling back if they meet any type of stiff resistance which is then intercept by artillery and drone swarms as they move on and scout some more. The point is that you need defenders to actually defend in the first place. If you have no one defending you aren't going to take casualties and if you have too few in the way of defenders you will suffer high loss rates even worse then the attackers. Anyways point being there is a certain mass needed in defense for it to be effective. And the only reason to send in units piecemeal is either scouting the enemy from Russia perspective or to delay them from running into areas before you can actually mobilize and move out together. While Ukraines goal is to find these gatherings out and maul them before they can even get deployed. Which is why these brigades are getting mauled so bad on the Russian side.

There is a border and there were border troops. A state of emergency and martial law are not equivalent concepts. A state of emergency is introduced when there are grounds for it.

My colleague lives in Kursk, everything is calm in the city, what is happening in the villages - no one knows.

There were border guards, I don't understand the military hierarchy, but everything is calm in Kursk, the problem is in the villages. These villages are far from Kursk. My colleague said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired at the villages and hid in the forest. But no one said this officially, this is gossip from local residents. Perhaps this is true, I think it should be difficult to find people with weapons in the forest.

You may lie, but you haven't refuted what I said. I know how to use Wikipedia and the statistics published on Wikipedia. What's the point of your lies if Wikipedia shows the reality? I just gave you Wikipedia data that you can't refute. The US is not the best place on earth, you have problems buying food, housing and accessing health care. The statistics confirm this. Why make up arguments when there are official statistics? I work in retail, analyzing the market for retail chains. My salary is enough for food, housing, and vacation without food stamps. My region is one of the poorest in Russia, but in my positions there are no food stamps and very few homeless people. It does not matter how much you pay me, because I will not go to live in the US. But I know for sure that a person in the US who does exactly the same job as I do in Russia cannot afford to buy food in the US without food stamps. In Russia, I get paid more than my colleagues in the US. There is a subreddit for my colleagues from different countries. In England and the Netherlands, people earn great money, but not in the US.

I agree with what you have written, from what I know. And, to go back to your earlier points, of course we have poverty and social issues in USA as well. I can give you a similar list, not the same issues, but similar issues that myself and people I know in USA deal with here. You are right to point out these issues from both sides. However, it is not the same message and meaning I was trying to share. My original comments that caused this discussion come from my belief that my life in USA is preferable mainly due to the freedoms (or, lack of manipulation is another way to say it) that have supported individual economic benefits. For example, in Kursk oblast, I can see the photos and videos on Google Maps and on the war footage that show how Russia’s greatest resource is people. It is not an accumulation of wealth in property, infrastructure, and independence. And that is very different, I believe, than how the average American thinks about life. Please understand there was a time in my younger years that I considered “are we not all just humans trying to do more or less the same things, but in difficult circumstances with difficult cultures and values and ways of thinking?” Mostly, yes, I think that is the truth. But when I compare whether I think my life would be objectively better, safer, healthier, and free, I really do think I “won the lottery” by being born an American. I don’t dislike Russians. I do find some ideologies harmful. Also, I have no idea how easy or hard to understand we both are. If you’re interested in talking, I think we would be better off if we tried to make sure we understand each other rather than claiming “liar,” you know? The way you initiated the conversation, I really thought you might be a paid government employee. It makes me sad that I am genuinely starting to think “should I be concerned to continue this conversation for their safety?” I do not know and of course leave that up to you to determine.

You are now trying to turn Europe into the USSR, in the USSR the state decided who the company would trade with.

Mortgage statistics in the US are publicly available, in all countries of the world people pay off their mortgages for years. But I won’t say that all military personnel are paid the same, he is a professional soldier with a military education. I don’t know how much a private is paid. But military personnel in Russia have always earned a lot of money. By the way, the 12th thing I don’t like about Russia. Children of military personnel receive a discount on the competition for admission to a university, they will all be accepted. I don’t think this is fair to other applicants. But this is another incentive for men to join the army, it will be easier for their children to get an education.

You gotta add Russia’s demographic situation to the mix. 1.8 at best, 1.2 at worst. Fighting age men come from the demographic segment that shrunk from the fall of the Soviet Union. Throw in all the casualties (and I’m pretty sure some of the wounded but still living won’t be having kids) against that demographic. Throw in those who left Russia to escape mobilization. (And how many will be coming back when this is over? If post-war, still sanctioned economic opportunities suck, they likely won’t.) All in all, it’s going to be diminished labor force. Less money going around, less taxes, less for the mundane but necessary stuff of everyday life. Probably also less incentives for the remaining Russians to have kids… The question may not just be “How long for Russia to recover?” but “What are the odds Russia _fails_ to recover?”

Is it theoretically possible for the USA, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, UAE, Kuwait and Canada stop this war within 6 months by simply dropping their arses and taking a big hit on their oil prices, a short term hit lasting 12 months max, they control 50+ % of the worlds oil production after all. Would Russia then not be forced to drop their prices to match, meanwhile the price of everything else you need to run a war (the raw materials) goes through the roof. Surely this would bring the Russian economy crashing down, or is it really not this simple?

China’s food imports from the USA are only 17 percent of their imports. Less than Brazil. This doesn’t mean that losing American exports wouldn’t sting but it would by no means be a deal breaker. Food is obscenely cheap in China.

Oh yeah baby, the military-industrial complex seriously loves war. It is, depressingly, in their best interest to keep wars going. There’s also been several high profile developments in other sciences during war, historically. The shit reality is that there is huge money involved and people are viewed more as statistics.

20%of GDP .. not quite up to the 40% levels levels seen in Oz or the US, or the 60% for USSR in WW2, but I still can’t see how they’re going to be able to sustain that If they do run out of foreign reserves, I wonder what they can trade or export for the things they need
