The reason i didn't punch Muhammad Ali is because i was afraid of escalations with him. Otherwise, if he wouldn't escalate and fight back, he'd run crying to his mamma

classic paxmaoThere is nothing to ask about. You may be discovering how high-yield bonds work, but many of us already know.
Ukraine will pay debt and quite a bit of it will be forgiven in exchange for XYZ. I said this many times, there are winners in this war but they are not Ruzzia, Ukraine nor Europe. All thanks to Putin´s "great geostrategic vision" that has made Gazprom loose money for the first time in 20 years, expand NATO faster than ever and burn through the Soviet weapons legacy platforms faster than ever.
But hey, I would not be surprised if Putin had a significant stake in Blackrock funds through some opaque scheme of companies and actually profiting from Ukraine´s debt. He is not going to die for it, the Ruzzian soldiers do.
Overall, Ruzzia is left with more enemies, Putin is probably making more money than ever and if all goes to plan Ukraine will have their independence and perhaps some generations of peace to build a country - likely under the NATO umbrella. Who are the true losers here? The average Ruzzian / Federated citizen and the families of the Ruzzian mercenaries.
Your other comment is stupid, classic daRude. NATO is not for now deploying troops under the NATO structure or mandate because there is no interest nor incentive in that type of escalation. It is much simpler to allow Ruzzia to be as incompetent as they are and self-demilitarise for a few farms and flattened minor cities for which the US has little interest.
The return on investment for the aid to Ukraine is excellent. Please, keep up the military incompetence, it makes the world a safer place.
This below is probably the tiny tiny bit of an iceberg of Putin assets in "the west" that he claims he is fighting.
Billions in assets. Hint: not in Ruzzia
And his brood is said to be living in Switzerland. Give whatever credit you want to this, is not really that relevant.

Learn what citations are, and do not attribute my citations to me.
Oh i see, when you read my citations claiming some system doesn't work you assume a 100% failure and thus feel the need to provide evidence of at least one or two that did work to prove them wrong? No that's not how warfare works at all, there's this whole the sword and the shield concept, where efficiency of of some new weapon is limited in time before countermeasures are adopted.
Quote from: https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-cheap-electronic-warfare-keeps-beating-us-precision-weapons-2024-4
In March, Daniel Patt, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, told Congress the GPS-guided Excalibur artillery shells "had a 70% efficiency rate hitting targets when first used in Ukraine" but that "after six weeks, efficiency declined to only 6% as the Russians adapted their electronic-warfare systems to counter it."
Patt said at the time that "the peak efficiency of a new weapon system is only about two weeks before countermeasures emerge."
Patt said at the time that "the peak efficiency of a new weapon system is only about two weeks before countermeasures emerge."
So for example excalibers work in Ukraine, so no need to find videos, but only in 6%. If you feel GMLRS work in Ukraine sure go argue with Pentagon and tell Ukraine to request more of GMLRS instead of some other weapons for the next weapon delivery batch.
High yield? You mean junk-bonds?
The problem is that no one believes that Ukraine can survive for longer than it would take for Russia to "self-demilitarise" as you claim. Thus the outcome is clear, so the options really are either make peace now, or keep fighting "to the last Ukrainian" waste more lives and get worse terms just to get Russia to "self-demilitarise" a tiny bit more. You don't see a conflict of interest here between the interest of the "west" and the Ukrainian people?
