A very bold claim, especially since I don't even remember the subject of corruption ever coming up on this thread all the time I've been following it. 

 

Besides, Russia fares a lot worse in the Premier League of corruption tables...

Maybe it was just an attempt to change the subject? 

 

Today is potentially the day we see Putin on live TV screaming like a girl and running for cover. 

 

What a sight to behold that would be. 

Get real, Putin isn't running or crying from anything.

The subject of Ukrainian corruption has been ongoing for years, like hunters role in burisma or Biden holding the money back, but suddenly vanished from the news after US started funding Ukraine, and 100b went missing....but you keep the focus on Putin and ignore that small detial.

Z guys enjoyed the parade! Xi standing with Putin and the North Koreans on the 1st row.... The most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Although the Z guys hoped to see a column of captured Ukrainians with a swastika and visa-less NATO tourists, this did not happen.

No unfriendly drones were seen during the entire parade. Vladimir and his beloved North Korea friends are happy. A lot of Z-patriotic orgasm pictures can be found in the article -

With Russia's help Nazi's were defeated and the World does look at that positively.

At the expense of so many lives those Russians will remain very much a positive in everyones history.

 

Why Putin has the World in terror for a land grab that my friend, will never in history become acceptable.

If the Americans recognize Ukraine's exit from the USSR as illegal, the problem will be solved.

Z guys are working on it. This is a problem of the internal political struggle for truth inside Russia. The Russian court and the Russian Foreign Ministry must recognize Ukraine's exit as illegal. In order to stimulate them to take action, Putin has recently declared the founder of the Russian Foreign Ministry Kozyrev a foreign agent - that is, a spy and also an enemy of Russia. This is a hint to all the people hired by this man (and there are most of them) that they are next if they do not love Putin's Soviet democratic dreams enough.

Russia under Putin will wipe out Europe if wanted, they are super power with 1000's of nukes, bur nobody wants to go there

 

 

So any argument on Zelenskey himself saying 100 billion is missing... all those elites buying villas and sports cars... but but Trump, but but Putin... bury your heads in the sand

Urals brand oil is currently at its cheapest since the beginning of 2023; according to economists, "the most apocalyptic forecasts are beginning to come true.''

The reference price of Russian Urals oil was about $50 per barrel, representing a 15% decrease compared to March and the lowest level since earlier this year, as "The Moscow Times" highlights, Russia’s budget for 2025 presumes that a barrel of oil will cost $69.70, however, in April, the Kremlin revised its forecast to $56.

This means that current oil prices at the prevailing rouble exchange rate are 17% lower than the level the government is currently using for planning budget revenues for 2025; two possible solutions are the devaluation of the rouble and amendment of the state budget, assesses Aleksandr Potawin, an analyst at the Finam portal.

The European Union has officially announced its decision to allocate approximately €1.9 billion from frozen Russian assets for weapons for Ukraine, as reported by Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal on X this Friday.

"1 billion euros of this sum will be spent on the purchase of weapons directly from Ukrainian manufacturers,  a further 600 million euros will be spent on artillery and ammunition. More than 200 million euros will be spent on strengthening Ukraine's air defence, " the head of the Ukrainian government posted on X.

Hmm. Letters of Last Resort, Misha.

 

Russia spends about $10bn a year maintaining its nuclear arsenal. America spends $100bn a year doing the same; 10x more per warhead. This is just the basic maintenance. The UK spends about $5bn maintaining 200 warheads. France is about the same. China spends $12bn maintaining an arsenal of 600 warheads. Pakistan spends a $1bn a year looking after their 170 warheads.

 

Basically, Russia spends sweet FA making sure their nukes will:

 

1. Work

2. Won't fizzle on launch

3. Won't go off with a bang prematurely

4. Aren't actually nicked and for sale in a Grozny car boot sale.

 

Of course, even if only 10% of warheads work, that will ruin someone's day, but your hopes to wipe out Europe, expressed with your predictable juvenile glee (why mention it, unless its really what you want) won't be fulfilled.

 

But you are full of it. You claim to be the son of a Russian "military man" (they all are "military men" thanks to conscription), but have enough familiarity with British 90s culture to know who Roger Mellie, Student Grant, Terry F**kwit and Big Vern were. You're more fake than Jordan's backside, and full of the same stuff.

 

Like Zmisha, your are a created persona.

I don't think either of them are Russians. Their posts are beyond parody.

“This T-34, the legendary Soviet tank from World War II, was the only Russian tank on display at the Victory Day parade in Red Square today. The others must all be busy somewhere!” quipped Financial Times Moscow bureau chief Max Seddon.

I dont want anyone wiped out, but you guys cream at the the idea of Russians being killed and the continuation of the war, While safely behind you laptops 1000's of miles away... (apart from AN's Walter that is)

I was just highlighting that the nuclear weapons Russia has is enought to flatten the whole of the EU.
