Not at all. I love America and American culture, but I look at things objectively. American support for Russia is much more than 9%, and recently it has only been growing. Not least due to independent American media

Come on, going to look at the Eiffel Tower for the weekend is not at all the same as going into a dirty trench under the blows of Russian drones and shells

Yes, but for the last 30 years this country has been thinking about something completely different, hasn't it?

Absolutely. Then the worldview of your ancestors approximately corresponded to the worldview of today's Russians. But look at today's generations of Americans. Do you seriously think that they will die for the French?

Until Russia dares to attack the United States. But who claims that her plans include an attack on the United States? USA is not equal to NATO. In my understanding, to implement the plan to take over Europe, Putin should not repeat Hitler’s mistakes and fight on several fronts at once. I think after the invasion of Eastern Europe, the Americans will say “these are not our problems, let the Europeans solve their problems themselves.” And who is talking about a military invasion? You can relax and engage in a hybrid war, profiting from trade with the West and disintegrating Europe from the inside and then absorbing the breakaway pieces. Then everything will go quietly and no one will express any alarm. In addition, Europe demonstrates a weakness for precisely this method of warfare

This has nothing to do with the desire of American soldiers to fight. This is directly related to the reluctance of American citizens to fight. Today everything is the same. The most popular presidential candidate today among American citizens is one who does not support US participation in NATO

That's for sure. I do not argue

Remind me how these US wars ended and for what reason?

Well. I'm sure we'll see it ourselves soon

That is, you claim that American citizens will gladly go to another continent to die for the sake of the Germans or the Baltic states, while they were not ready to go and die for the sake of the Vietnamese or Afghans. Do I understand you correctly?

On the contrary Russia is not tense at all. In large Russian cities there is practically no news about the war in Ukraine. This war doesn't bother them at all. On the contrary, Russia has developed effective measures to counter Western assistance - this is a play on the internal problems of Western countries. All we see lately is constant talk about reducing support for Ukraine

But in my opinion, on the contrary, Russia has clearly demonstrated this: perseverance, determination, the will to win and huge human reserves, which, no matter what, are ready to die for the idea of their leader. Let's imagine the US or Germany in a global war with Russia. How many dead fellow citizens will cause an internal crisis in these countries (remember Vietnam or Afghanistan). It is not technology that remains the decisive factor in victory. As in the old days, the decisive factor remains the will to win

It may very well be. Western companies can no longer bear the losses caused by the lack of trade with Russia. I am confident that the trade aspirations of the West will be much faster and more efficient than the military ones, and soon after the capitulation of Ukraine the West will resume trade with Putin

I don’t claim that I understand the West) I’m just saying what lies on the surface and what I can observe myself - and this is the amazing slowness and lack of unity among NATO member countries (Turkey, Slovakia, Hungary) As for 1942. It was so long ago that it seems to me that they were completely different countries than today

And at the same time, Russia demonstrates impressive strategic competence and the will to win, and these are the determining factors in the “long run”. As for the pre-war Russian army, they were just Putin’s “ceremonial” troops. The real Russian army is being created right now on the battlefield. Absolutely. While Russia is doing EVERYTHING to win. Putin is betting everything he has on victory, while the West does not need Ukraine’s victory at all. This is why Putin will win this war

You have a very optimistic view of NATO's combat readiness. Do you think NATO generals are preparing for war with Russia, or do they assume that Russia will not dare to attack them? I must say that I do not have the same optimism. A good example is the recent admission of Finland and Sweden to NATO. How long did it take them - a year or more (and in my opinion Sweden has not yet been accepted into NATO)? This is a good indication of the speed with which vital decisions are made in NATO

Look, the Slovaks have decided to improve our difficult economic situation. What else can I say - brothers Slavs

Damn accurate description of Ukraine

It seems that information about the political crisis in Ukraine is beginning to go beyond its borders. How do you think this will affect continued support from the West? I'm sure it's not the best

This is not misinformation. I am only reporting the situation that is happening in my country. It seems to me that most people in the West are still living in 2022 (if not 2021)

Buy what exactly? Has the West really increased the production of military products in volumes sufficient to arm at least itself, not to mention the sale of military products for export? Today there are long-term queues for the purchase of certain military goods, even for NATO countries Is Ukraine gutting the Russian army? Everything is just the opposite: Russia is gutting the Ukrainian army. We have an acute shortage of literally everything from personnel to ammunition. And it’s not clear where we can get all this? While Russia is only increasing the supply of everything necessary.

I recently presented a completely realistic scenario for Ukraine’s return to Russia’s orbit. Putin understands Ukraine much better than Western politicians and knows its weak points very well This is their 2022 statement. Today it's the other way around. Russia is demonstrating effectiveness at least at the strategic and operational-ta ctical level. They have clearly learned how to effectively use air support and are now outmaneuvering the Ukrainian generals. And yes, the West is really afraid of Russia (and after the defeat of Ukraine, this fear will intensify many times over) . At least Ukrainians have not laughed at “stupid Russians” for a long time. The same as in the answer I mentioned above about the “Russian orbit” This is happening literally before our eyes. Ukraine is becoming more and more toxic, even in the eyes of our closest neighbors such as Poland and Slovakia. I think there is no need to remind you about the blockade of the borders with Ukraine by these countries. This is also evidenced by the choice of the citizens of Slovakia of a clearly pro-Russian president Russia did not demonstrate weaknesses in NATO, it demonstrated the lack of a clear NATO strategy in response to the growing threat from the east. And of course, the lack of unity among NATO member countries. Hungary, Slovakia, Türkiye Well, let's not forget about the upcoming US elections and the most obvious presidential candidates in these elections. A significant portion of the US population also demonstrates that they do not believe in NATO This problem is closely related to my previous answer Russia is actively doing this right now, trading Ukrainian grain, as well as dismantling equipment from seized Ukrainian enterprises A very controversial statement. Haven't we discussed before that we are witnessing a crisis in the world order? If Ukraine is captured, there will be a change in the world order - a significant strengthening of the role of Russia in Europe and a weakening of the role of the United States in Europe This campaign has not failed, it is still in progress. A very controversial statement, given the growth in Russian energy exports. What difference does it make if Russia sells these energy resources directly to Western countries or through third countries? Still, the profit goes into the pockets of the Kremlin As we see, this is not the case. Energy resources remain a very effective weapon for the Kremlin. Through countries such as Hungary and Türkiye, Russia has the opportunity to influence EU policy This is wrong. After the end of the war, we will see a huge demand for simple and effective means of war, such as adjustable aerial bombs, Lancet UAVs, Orlan UAVs, Ka-52 helicopters, etc. Russian weapons are demonstrating their effectiveness right now on the battlefield This is hardly an addiction, rather a partnership. And by the way, quite effective partnerships, unlike partnerships between Ukraine and the West. We see an increase in Russian arms supplies to Iran. Su-35 aircraft, Ka-52 helicopters are from recent deliveries Instead of piles of old rubbish, Putin receives one of the most numerous and effective armies of our time. Now we are honing new methods and tactics for using the Russian armed forces on the battlefield. Who today still believes that armadas of old tanks are a necessary asset in a modern war, where armadas of drones dominate the battlefield? Nothing like this. I was especially surprised by the statement about “national pride.” Russia's national pride today is at its highest level in recent memory. Well, as we see the latest news, Putin has more than doubled spending on the army compared to 2021. This clearly does not indicate a decline in the economy. While the Ukrainian economy is on the verge of collapse. In the latest news, civil servants' salaries have been reduced by almost 40%

Do not forget the most important goal - demonstrating the futility of resistance for future potential targets of Russian aggression. Events seem to tell these countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Georgia, etc.) if you dare to resist us. Our large army will invade your country, destroy your economy, kill part of your population and force others to flee abroad, kidnap your children, rob your businesses, create an environmental disaster for some regions, and we don’t care at what cost we will do this. At the same time, there is no point in expecting help from the weak West.

HAHAHA
