I have to disagree here. Russians comprise almost 80% of the FR's population. The second largest nationality group is Tatars, which comprise 3% of the...
Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia has demanded from oil companies that they increase the sales of gasoline on the stock exchange as there are def...
Here is what one of Wagner commanders had to say about that yesterday (start with 'They have a lot of ammo!'). You do have to read between the lines a...
Yes, I would think something along those lines. As all our perceptions (and therefore concepts) are just differentiations, a baby does not have a sens...
Yesterday Putin has stated that Ukrainians blew up the dam. But in the next sentence he said that it is a major obstruction of the Ukrainian counterof...
Do we know that it fires significantly more shells than Ukraine now? Can you provide any sources? As long as Russia had artillery advantage, it pushed...
Russia has long ceased to have any artillery advantage, with missiles it is clearly at a disadvantage - it has spent most of its stocks last year, now...
Dmitry Medvedev, a former president and prime minister of Russia and the current vice-chairman of the Russian Security Council decided to celebrate th...
Mearsheimer said that Russians wanted to topple the Ukrainian government. Explain how does that 'dismiss the entire western narrative of the Ukraine w...
Yes, that was another point I wanted to make. A 'threat' is not necessarily a feint. When a bully says 'Give me your money or I will beat you up' it i...
What is untrue? I gave you a specific quote that Mearsheimer believed one of the Russian goals was to install Russian-friendly government, contrary to...
Mearsheimer himself tells you that one of the Russian goals was toppling the Ukrainian authorities and installing a puppet goverment, as I told you th...
Chotiner: You don’t think he has designs on Kyiv? Mearsheimer: No, I don’t think he has designs on Kyiv. I think he’s interested in taking at least th...
No, you have not. The communications by the Ukrainian General Staff DOES NOT give the number of troops, only the number of BTGs. So you DO NOT have a ...
No, we do not have that information. Your flawed argument is that 31 BTGs equal 21000 involved troops, because of your faulty assumptions. If you have...
That depends on where the Russians would be. With todays means of intelligence you cannot have a large grouping of forces without the enemy being awar...
So what is the source of the 21 thousand troops in the northern campaign OTHER than multiplying 31 BTGs by about 700? Because that one does not work, ...
:) Yes, that is a quite reasonable conclusion for BTGs, given that their logistics is pretty basic and they need to rely in their tasks on other force...
If 31 BTGs = 21 000 is pretty solid, then 1 BTG = is about 670 is also pretty solid. We can learn that, if we use division on those very numbers: 2100...
Nobody claims that they had large territorial goals - they were supposed to take the capital and major cities - every move they made confirms that. Th...
You were already given many clues what their aims might be: Putin's speech, claims of propagandists, the order of the battle etc. You just ignore them...
No, it does not, for the reasons I have already explained and which you are not even trying to engage. Do you believe that getting 15 thousand troops ...
But obviously Russians DID try to commit more forces, that is why they moved their 60 km column. The fact that it was unable to sustain its movements ...
I have looked at other sources and indeed the number of thirty plus BTGs might refer to the northern campaign (without Kharkiv). Given that the initia...
The sources you quote list 31 BTGs ona single salient. I am talking about the total number of troops involved in the northern campaign. It is estimate...
This is the number engaged on 26th of February, which does not comprise the whole northern force. As you seem to accept Wikipedia as credible, here is...
And claiming that the battle of Kiev was a 'diversion' is not laughable? You have failed to actually address any points I have mentioned, you just rep...
A diversion? That theory does not fit the facts - you do not send your best paratroopers to be decimated in a diversion. You do not commit the bulk of...
So your narrative is that 20000 of Russian troops were just on a stroll in the vicinity of Kiev? That the battle of Kiev, was actually not a battle of...
The plan was to take Kiev, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson and Odessa, possibly Dnipro. If it suceeded, there would be little to no resistance, as the ...
The really significant difference is that the middle men are pocketing the lion's share of the profits, so Russia is getting paid much less. And it is...
It makes little sense to base projections on 2022, in which Russia indeed had a short surge due to short-lived spike of gas and oil prices and inabili...
This reply is completely irrelevant to my post, which pointed out the factual inaccuracies in your previous post. That is why I will reply to this one...
Sorry, I did not answer your questions, because I have realized that I might have misunderstood you and we might be talking past each other. It should...
Let us clear something up first. Most people with AIS have XY chromosomes. If you send their genome to a geneticist, he would tell you they are male, ...
The whole discussion started with my objection to your claim that 'sex' is objective. If your claim now is that 'sex' is 'what we divide by' and we pi...
1. That is exactly my point. Your claim is that transgenderism is NOT a result of biological expression of sex difference - how can you be sure? 2. Th...
Not if attraction to women is just one biological feature that aligns with features typically attributed to men and her other psychological features a...
But you just assume that transgender people are not transsexual, because 'the society does not care about brains'. We were supposed to talk about obje...
If we agree that different parts of the body can have different expressions, how do we actually know whether a person is fully expressed as a man? Jus...
Exceptions are important in demarcating the differences, if sex is supposed to be objective. As i see it, objectively, there are two possible cases: 1...
I must disagree. While indeed most androgen insensitivy syndromes are genetically based, it does not mean that their genotype itself is not male or fe...
One look at the map is enough to see that the above is not true. The Sloviansk/Kramatorsk complex is much bigger than Bakhmut and much better defended...
Hello, this is my first post, so apologies if I do something incorrectly (I did read the site guidelines)! I would disagree with the OP claim that sex...
