  1. So Russia de-militarized NATO too. I thought Russia had been running out of ammo since last March?

  2.  @thegreatdane3627  is there any evidence N Korean sent anything to Russia? NATO did, however, raid all of S Korea’s shells, which might put them in a pickle with their neighbor.

  3. Which amounts to peanuts.

  4. By NATO, you mean the US.

  5.  @peabase  if artillery war came as a surprise, then NATO competence is greatly overestimated. Artillery is Russia’s religion.

  6.  @peabase  Ukraine IS NATO. As Stoltenberg said, if Ukraine loses, NATO loses.

  7.  @peabase  NATO mercenary deaths are not counted on the books, like all those that perished in the Kramatorsk pizza party or the Reikartz hotel. But yes, NATO does prefer to use proxies and spill Ukrainian blood to the last Ukrainian. And Stoltenberg was quite clear when he said a Russian victory would be a “defeat for us all.” Ain’t Putin’s fault NATO is out of ammo (well, maybe it is?).

  8. The Western MIC is geared towards making profit, not winning wars. They want expensive, high tech toys that cost a fortune to design, produce, and maintain. There’s no money to be made in things like artillery shells.

  9.  @ElementaryWatson_fafo  because the Russian MIC is built to win wars, and the Western MIC is built to make profit.

  10.  @FredHousehold  Russia will not stop disrupting Ukraine until it seeks a settlement. Ukraine will likely never be in able to find footing to be the powerhouse you are imagining.
