As nonsense, as political theatre. As something unnecessary and potentially dangerous for their country. I don't remember polls with exactly this question, but other polls make me think so.I wonder what Russians think of the peaceful (POTUS45's nonsense aside) transition of power in the US. Since Putin came to power in 1999 the USA has had five Presidents. Do Russian's see this as weakness or strength?
Yes, when Kremlin's propaganda outlets brag about the hypersonic weapon in service, usually they mean Kinzhal - ballistic Iskander modified for aerial launch. They call it hyper-sonic because it exceeds Mach 5... As the original Iskander, as most, if not all, other ballistic missiles, starting with German A-4(V-2) and including Tochka-U which is still being used by Ukrainian Army.Which hypersonics are you referring to? Because they have used Kh-47s against Ukraine.
I think I would be more concerned about the coffee and biscuitsI think that guy is sweating bullets 'cause he's gonna' be eating one soon.
Perhaps the scum sucker will get to taste Putinaide.Compare and contrast Ukraine's leadership with "bravery" of the Russian-appointed lackeys in the captured regions:
In an interesting turn of events, the Russian-appointed deputy leader of occupied Kherson appears to have left the city and is working from nearly 500 miles away in Russia.
Hawk-eyed social media users noted video updates posted to Kirill Stremousov's Telegram account in recent days appeared to have been taken from the Marriott Hotel in Voronezh.

The BBC has not been able to verify why or when he left Kherson, but has been able to confirm his presence in the western Russian city.
The videos also clearly indicate they were filmed from the five-star hotel, given the height of the building it was shot from and the positions of several buildings in the background - including the impressive five-domed Annunciation Cathedral.
Voronezh is about 120 miles (200km) from the border with Ukraine and more than 460 miles from Kherson itself.
In his most recent update earlier today, Stremousov criticised Western and Ukrainian media coverage of the fighting around Kherson.
Olga should go suck a horse sausage.Olga Skabeyeva has been saying that NATO is the reason why the Ukraine has been naughty and the west should benukedpunished for encouraging Ukrainians to look away from their masters.
To the "true believers" in Russia, democracy is inherently flawed and weak. Dissent and disagreement slow down decision-making, which offers advantages to centralized autocracies which can make decisions faster. In addition, the political divisions within democracies are fracture points which can be (and are) exploited by those autocratic governments that seek to disrupt democratic nations.
What is a militarily exhausted and prestige-weakened Russia going to do when China starts pushing its claims on Vladivostok and area?
'This is our land,' China now claims Russia’s Vladivostok as part of its territory
The claims of China over Vladivostok in Russia are not limited to the state-owned media. Even Chinese diplomats have jumped in. Zhang Heqing, a.............tfipost.com
China has put in 'historical' territorial claims against around 21 different countries including Russia (140,000 sq km's including Vladivostok), all of Vietnam,That's rather a loaded piece of rhetoric there.
China has put in 'historical' territorial claims against around 21 different countries including Russia (140,000 sq km's including Vladivostok), all of Vietnam,
both North and South Korea, Northern Laos, North Eastern India, the Spratley Islands, Taiwan of course, Islands off Japan including at one stage, Okinawa
and so on. There is also the claim to the whole of the South China Sea which goes against all international treaties, agreements etc.
The real problem for China now is economic. All the major tech companies are moving out as fast as they can. Heavy industries are moving out as well.
The buying and selling of property where no one lives has created a huge increase in prices which cannot be sustained and is not a bursting bubble but
more like a balloon that has so many holes it leaks out faster than the air can go in.
All this is the stuff that can create a panic in the upper controllers leading to irrational moves. I hope it evens out before it gets that far.
Absolutely but here in Australia I have also heard on radio and television from Australian journalists that China categorically has only one claimI'm not arguing that China isn't being grabby. I'm suggesting that the loaded language of that article seems to be strong indicator of bias.
Absolutely but here in Australia I have also heard on radio and television from Australian journalists that China categorically has only one claim
and that is Taiwan. No mention of the others.
It's a real push and pull in India as I have friends from there who have explained the complex state system and how there are some who support socialist views
so they support China and others who are opposites. Vive la difference ?
True, and I couldn't find a more reputable, mainstream media source for China's aims on Russian territory. But it only makes sense that a weakened Russia will present an opportunity for China, especially if Taiwan is denied them.That's rather a loaded piece of rhetoric there.
I do wonder how China is affording its massive military expansion. It's not as if they can sell debt to the West, and we're pulling a lot of offshore consumer goods manufacturing to elsewhere.The real problem for China now is economic.

That's how she keeps her job.Olga should go suck a horse sausage.
