WARSAW, Poland — Eastern European countries are raising alarm over Ukraine potentially being pushed into peace talks with Russia, amid growing partisanship in Washington, hesitation and delays in w…
Russian MIC innovations (from the USSR days) was largely driven by Ukrainians, but that’s neither here nor there.
What Russia has are deep stores. They cannot produce new aircraft without importing parts from the west. Not fixed or rotary. They are ramping up production of missiles, but so is Ukraine.
Russia cannot even produce ball bearings. They aren’t producing new APCs, BMPs or MBTs. They are importing ammo from North Korea ffs. And seeing how badly their equipment has performed, I expect to see their weapons exports collapse. Their vaunted “Armata” turned out to completely suck.
As for the economy, it is being artificially propped up by depleting foreign reserves. They are currently over-borrowing yuan to attempt to correct. And you really have to be a complete idiot to believe any official Russian data.
Russia is holding on for dear life in the hope that Trump wins the elections.
Russia has failed every single expectation. It is so bad, Ukraine sent an official thank you letter to Russia’s Defense Minister Shoigu for being so corrupt and incompetent that it allowed Ukraine to defend itself.
What I hear from you is “Ukrainians must submit to the will of Putin or die”. As if they are children who don’t get to decide for themselves.
Just like you see the Buryats, Dagestanis, Chechens, Tatars, and hundreds other peoples’ crushed under Russians’ bloodstained boots.
No fucking wonder every single nation occupied by Russia in the past centuries who managed to gain their freedom hates Russia’s fucking guts.
YOU tankie morons won’t change your mind until Russia ceases to exist, which, if Russia continues this stupid war, might come sooner than you think. Prigozhin wasn’t the only opposition to Putin in the state.
Tankies are hilarious. They think all these ex-soviet states have love for Russia.
They say that Putin was forced into this conflict by NATO/US shenanigans. So if we take that at face value it means that Putin fell for one the oldest political exploits in the world. Grand master strategist right there.

It really isn’t.
