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…
One has to have a brain as smooth as a bowling ball to believe that a country that’s completely reliant on the west militarily and economically is a free, self governing nation.
Russia has its own military industrial complex that it inherited from USSR that currently outproduces all of NATO, and Russian economy is currently growing according to the IMF. If you can’t understand the difference between that and Ukraine then what else is there to say.
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.
No, the truth is well documented in western media once you learn to read past the spin. Everything I said is openly admitted by mainstream western publications.
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.
That’s obviously what you’ve convinced yourself of and I doubt there’s anything that will change your mind until Ukraine ceases to exist as a country. Thanks to gullible westerners such as yourself countless thousands will die and millions will have their lives ruined in the process. One day you’ll have to live with supporting continuation of this atrocity.
This is an economic war with the west, so yeah obviously what matters is whether Russian economy is doing better or worse than western economies. Screeching whataboutism when faced with that really highlights the quality of your intellect.

Russia seems to be completely reliant on others economically and militarily also, but that doesn’t seem to matter to you

It’s almost like we live on different planets.
Imagine genuinely believing all that. It’s pretty amazing to see what guzzling western propaganda out of a firehose does to a mf.
Hah yeah you’re right, the only truth comes from the Kremlin.
