    And thousands of Soviet Russian soldiers are coming back in body bags while their equipment and vehicles burn on foreign soil.

    If Soviet Russian nukes go boom in their silos, then RUSSIA will cease to exist. China and the eastern half of the Ring of Fire would take a nasty fallout dose, but the rest of us would be mainly intact.

    I don't think that it will help you, though...

    Yes, I know. Some people have difficulty to understand the difference between the freedom of speech and the freedom of publishing stolen information. I'll bet the Russian propaganda showing Assange, Snowden, Manning as a proof that in the West we don't have the freedom of speech. I am also willing to bet that majority of Russian believe Russian propaganda.
    I think Assange, Snowden, Manning are whistle blowers and should not be persecuted.

    Your comment with insults looks like your tantrum.
    Once again, do not lie to yourself. Look at events realistically. The whole West supplies Ukraine with weapons and finances, sends its instructors and mercenaries - and what is the result?
    A month and a half - and the Russians destroyed the Ukrainian aviation, Ukrainian air defense, the Ukrainian army is being taken prisoner by the thousands.
    At the same time, the Russians involved in the special operation are quantitatively smaller than the Ukrainian army. But in Ukraine, in addition to the Ukrainian army, mercenaries from all over the world, territorial defense, rezirvist and other special forces of the Ukrainian fascists are fighting against the Russians.
    USA, for example, 72 days bombiol only one city - Belgrade. and couldn't take it.
    Look at how the Afghan savages practically forced the NATO contingent to flee with sticks.
    Think of Somalia, where the US army was able to evacuate with difficulty ....
    And you dare to say something about the alleged failures of the Russians? Don't make people laugh. Learn to think.

    As I understand it, your comment is your attempt to save face ....
    However, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that you begin to understand reality. And that's good.

    Now and you are about it. Russia is the most peaceful country in the world.
    Doubt? Then count how many wars Russia has started in the last 50 years and how many wars the US has started in the last 50 years.
    And in this case, Russia has long offered NATO not to expand to the east. NATO promised this first to the USSR, then to Russia. NATO broke their promise. Last year, Putin was forced to draw a red line, breaking which NATO provoked Russia.
    At the same time, it is not an occupation that is taking place in Ukraine, but a special operation to eliminate the Nazi regime and level the threat to Russia.
    The chatter of Western politicians is worthless. Firstly, they understand the real reason for what happened, and secondly, they understand that they cannot do anything against Russia, either economically, or militarily, or politically. Hence the hysteria in the media.

    No, Russia is one of the world's most militaristic and aggressive countries with one of the most reckless national leaders, given the fact that it is constantly threatening nuclear war and is actively invading another country in a war of conquest.

    Learn physics. Or read the opinion of experts on this issue. I repeat for you - if the Russians detonate their nuclear weapons on their territory, planet earth will cease to exist.

    But there are.
    There are also problems with building domestic cars. :lol:

    Have you counted how many wars involving the United States have been over the past 50 years? Have you calculated how many wars Russia started in the same period? Compared? Why don't you write the result of your comparison?

    Here you are right. The automotive industry in Russia lags behind the Western automotive industry. This is undeniable.
    And although now I read about several projects in the automotive industry, both with an increase in the production of cheap cars and with the production of luxury cars, but frankly, all these projects are clearly inferior to their Western counterparts. At least for now.
    However, let's hope for the best. As everyone knows, under Comrade Staliy, the USSR went through in 10 years the path in economic development that Western countries traveled in a hundred years.
    But for now, you're right about cars.
    Although there are positive examples. For example, KAMAZ has been leading the Paris-Dakar rally for many years.

    Which country is currently invading another under false pretenses and bombing its cities?

    Its not just that. Old Soviet processors had a few hundred transistors in them. If you want something like an aircraft, a missile, or ICBM that is modern, aware of its surroundings, and has stabilization algorithms that improve its accuracy and usefulness - Russia has absolutely no means to build chips that handle the data in real time and without a time lag. Even my $200 drone that I bought at Amazon has processors in it that create the Wi-Fi and even handle drones stability and orientation by utilizing an onboard gyroscope. All modern equipment requires some form of digital control and russia has absolutely no means to design and produce those processors without foreign help.
    Yes, russia can be self sufficient, but, technologically, only up to about the year of 1985. And with that technology your troops will have to take on “fire and forget” smart missiles. :lol: Or, on domestic front, your domestic aircraft won’t be allowed to enter airspace of all modern countries due to air traffic control incompatibilities and environmental impact issues. I’m not even going to talk about Russian domestic cars or other major equipment. The longer this war lasts, the further behind you are falling, and the harder it will be to catch up.

    Speaking of Russian CPUs:

    Russian-Made Elbrus CPUs Fail Trials, 'A Completely Unacceptable Platform'
    By Anton Shilov published December 24, 2021

    MCST's Elbrus-8C fails to win the approval of Russia's biggest bank.

    SberInfra, a technology arm of Sber, Russia's biggest bank, has evaluated the Russian-made MCST Elbrus-8C processors in multiple workloads, but the results were utterly disappointing and the processors failed the test. The testers cited "Insufficient memory, slow memory, few cores, low frequency. Functional requirements not been met at all" as key reasons for the failure. However, there is hope, according to SberInfra engineers.

    Homebrew Hardware…
    As part of its ongoing conflict with the Western world following the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the ongoing war against Ukraine, Russia has publicly declared its intention to substitute hardware and software developed in the U.S. and Europe with its domestic technologies. On the hardware side of matters, this meant migrating from x86 AMD's Epyc and Intel's Xeon Scalable platforms to its homegrown CPUs, such as MCST's Elbrus processors based on a proprietary VLIW-like architecture, as well as Baikal Electronics' Arm-based SoCs.

    So far, some of the Russian government agencies and government-controlled companies have adopted Baikal and Elbrus-based systems. But when it comes to mission-critical servers, nobody has embraced any of the homebrew machines. This happens to a large degree because most Russian-made machines have fewer cores (compared to mainstream servers), insufficient capacity of slow and outdated memory, low clocks, and poor out-of-box software optimization.

    ... https://www.tomshardware.com/news/russias-biggest-bank-tests-elbrus-cpu-finds-it-unacceptable

    If this is what Russia is forced to rely on as it loses access to foreign technologies, it's going to be very far behind indeed. It also appears that both Elbrus and Baikal chips are fabricated outside of Russia, and I imagine that will be a bit of a problem going forward.

    Russia is also not about to rival TSMC or any other chip fab, especially being under sanctions as they are now. Even Intel, which has been stuck on a larger 14-nm process for years now, is investing a LOT to try and catch up to TSMC and others.

    The ruble is stabilizing because Putin is cooking the books. He is also damaging Russia's economy over the long term by making investments in Russia less attractive. The longer the sanctions last, the deeper in the hole the country gets. Russia's GDP is about $1.5 trillion USD. The US GDP is not quite $21 trillion USD or just about 14 times as large. Even Italy has a larger economy than Russia, let alone the other NATO powerhouses. Putin is losing both militarily and economically. The only good thing that might come out of this for Russia is some kind of Marshall plan to rebuild after the war, but I think that unlikely at present.

    Russian money seized from Putin, his family, cronies and friends will go to rebuild the Ukraine. If Russians want to rebuild Russia, they will need to take it out of Putin's hide.
    And once living conditions get bad enough, they will.

    That made no sense at all.

    Underground nuclear explosions would not destroy the Earth.

    Also, most Russians do not believe in G-d. So, there's that.

    Belarus, Georgia and Chechnya could form a 'single state' but that state would be a top-down political one,
    driven by the puppets of these states. Try a secret ballot and see what people think of Russia in general and
    Putin/Oligarchs/FSB/Military/Fascist/Nationalist/Orthodox and you might be surprised. Certainly these clowns
    were surprised when UKrainians didn't come out with flowers but with guns when Putin strode into Ukraine.
    Ask Ukrainians what they thought of Russia BEFORE the invasion and you would be surprised - this is the
    third time Russia has roughened up Ukraine.
