More and more evidence appearing online of a run on Russian banks.

In the videos posted, banks are either out of cash as long lines form by ATMs or are giving fake reasons for why people can’t withdraw their money.

My favorite copium is "Russia isn't fighting Ukraine, it's fighting a NATO army." The Ukies don't have a single NATO-made main battle tank, their Air Force has maybe gotten 20 "new" second-hand MiGs from Slovakia and Poland since the war started, and they sank the Moskva with some shitty homemade anti-ship missile. Until the M-777s and HIMARS began arriving in the summer, their only Western-made weapons were small arms, Javelins, MANPADs, and mediocre Turkish drones. Russia is losing a war to its second-hand army.
Even if Ukraine were fielding M1A2s and F-16s, Russia's military was meant to be able to go up against that stuff, which it clearly hasn't. By any measure, Russia's performance has been embarrassing.

Joke I heard in Lviv:
Q: How goes the war between Russia and NATO?
A: Well, Russia has lost 70,000 soldiers, and NATO hasn't shown up.

Lucky for the Russians, I suppose, is that it's very unlikely the Ukrainians could field F-16s or any other western combat aircraft, at least not in the short to medium term. Supply is therefore limited to any warehoused Migs or Sukhois the former Warsaw Pact has in storage.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Highly unlikely. What's even less likely is that the Ukies could field M1s. Those tanks are radically different from everything in the former Warsaw Pact. There's zero interchangeability of parts. The Abrams needs a 4-man crew while every tank that Ukraine has needs 3. They're meant to be used differently. Any of the T-whatever tanks are meant to avoid getting hit. An Abrams is meant to take hits.
You might already know this, but someone else might learn something: the 3-man crews are related to why Russian tanks lose their turrets when they get hit. To make the hull smaller, the Soviet designers did away with the loader and automated the job, storing the ammunition in a circle around the turret (a bit like one of those old-school machine guns with a round drum). This did make the tanks smaller and harder to hit. But it also meant that they couldn't build the failsafes that an Abrams has for ammunition, so if the tank does get hit, the entire magazine detonates and blows the turret off.
It also only makes the tanks harder to hit for other tanks, which need a clear line of sight on the sides. Javelins don't have that limitation. So in a world where ATGMs exist, the only thing that the auto-loader accomplishes is that when a tank gets got, it's 3 men dying instead of 4.

Okay, you got me there. But portable ATGMs aren't a NATO-only thing. The Russian Kornet is pretty good. I think even ISIS had some old shoulder-mounted ATGMs that it stole from Iraqi bases.

Kornet is rubbish compared to the NLAW, which is cheaper everyday replacement for the javilin.

Why would they give them tanks and shit they have no idea how to use? Do you think they have some kind of airforce or satellites they use for intelligence or something? It's pretty obvious without nato they would be fricked.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
They still have an airforce. I have no idea how at this point, but it's still able to mount operations. But you're right, NATO's most important contribution has arguably been intel.
The "ghost of Kyiv" thing took off because Russia's first-day losses were so wild. Of course, the logical explanation was that Ukraine knew where the Russians were thanks to US intel. But people are r-slurred and neurodivergent.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Russia has fricked it since the beginning but it's just silly to pretend nato isn't heavily involved in all of this. The fact that they can hit targets they can't see with American artillery should make it obvious.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
It's also silly to pretend that NATO didn't buff Ukraine up enough to be sorta self-sufficient before this though. A lot of its spotting is possible because it invested in UAVs before the war started. Know where Ukraine bought its drones? From a certain member of NATO.

Russia is a country that has always lived below its means.
The russians who are affected by this crash are those who could afford western products or trips abroad in the first place. Those guys have either fricked off of Russia or killed themselves (or by the good graces of the government).
The average russian never hopes of buying a mercedes or fr*nch brand clothings. They never felt the first crash in the first place because it shut doors they couldnt open anyway.

You're vastly underestimating how important the USD/Ruble exchange is to even the poorest Russian. Russia imports a lot of goods and has pretty much zero electronic manufacturing. If the Ruble drops by half it's value then it means everything imported doubles in value. This has effected poor Russians the worst and Ukraine isn't even the start of it, they've been bearing the brunt of these massive drops for over a decade because of putin's autism.

Bro, theres like a fifth of the Russian that's still (or fell back to) pooping in an outhouse.
Random russians of the Moscow ring and St Petersburg are gonna suffer hard, sure. But im talking about the towns east of Nizny Novgorod, where the administration is still paper printed, full of decrepit panelkas that should have been bulldozed 25 years ago, and every night you sleep in is a gambit, whose inhabitants still use vans that might as well fall apart mid-drive.
This is not me praising russian resilience, im deploring how those towns never left ground zero since the implosion of USSR. They never gained anything during the Putin era.

It's no mystery, the ruble doesn't operate in a free market. After the first wave of sanctions hit, Russia required all gas payments to be made in rubles. A bunch of nations took them up on this, including China and I think India too. If you're a business in Russia and you're paid in a non-RUB currency you have to convert 80% of it to RUB. This was pretty smart in terms of owning the Westoids by making the ruble look strong, but it's coming back to bite them now because a strong currency comes with a bunch of downsides, especially when the number of countries that'll accept it at the market rate is small.
