  1.  @lenna6013  LOL, careful you dont OD on copium
    59
  2.  @horvathsogranfume658  yeah we knew they were corrupt and inept but even I couldn't have imagined how bad it was.
    23
  3. so strong they dick around outside bakhmut for a year
    18
  4. how many Russians does it take to change a light bulb? One to change the bulb and 900k sent on fruitless human wave assaults on a strategically insignificant target.
    17
  5. yup amazing what you can do when you can do when you have no regard for human life. It's only a matter of time though until the Ukrainians retake what belongs to them, would be best if Russia just went home
    14
  6. NATO stocks of what? we aren't sending anything we would use to fight Russia or China just some old junk we dont want to maintain anymore, also if you think russian production is even close to the same league as the west i have news for you. furthermore since the Chip ban China lacks the capacity to manufacture high tech products of any sort, any that they can they will keep for themselves. And depsite how inept Russia is at least they are energy and food independent, which is more then can be said for China, if we put the same sanctions on them that we put on Russia then in 6 months half the country starves to death in the dark.
    13
  7.  @yap5995  LOL, if NATO was actually in this fight it would look like desert storm plus geography. Actually probably be alot worse because we've advanced a lot more in the west then Russia has since the 90's. Take it easy on the copium
    12
  8. keep in mind that much of that budget will be stolen by the shockingly corrupt officers and politicians.
    11
  9.  @andyhughes1776  I feel like America would at least be able to take Bakhmut if they wanted
    11
  10. also keep in mind many of the couple million who fled russia fall in this age range so its more like 6-7million
    10
  11. they are shifting to T-62's which would be a really good tank in ww2
    10
  12. no problem just send them on suicide missions. dont have to pay a dead man. thats why russians are strategic geniuses
    10
  13.  @АндрейКумберлэнд  the only countries that voted in favor of Russia at the UN were North Korea, Syria, Guatemala and Iran, truly a fearsome alliance. China and India don't actually give a rats ass about Russia and wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.
    10
  14. in b4 russian and chinese trolls
    10
  15. casualties in Bakhmut is 7-1 in favour of Ukraine...
    9
  16. Russian oil and gas revenue fell by over 40% last month, India and China are buying at the price cap levels which is barely break even for Russia.
    8
  17. by premium weapons do you mean the T-14 which they produce around 1 a year? or su57 which they produce even less? Russia is a joke country built on lies. keep huffing copium
    7
  18. Russian GDP is less then New Jerseys. And the reason they don't take Bakhmut is they are a trash army that looks good and parades and can bully their weak neighbors, but an actual fight they are completely inept. lay off the copium and stop watching RN
    7
  19. just the things he researches, make your own youtube channel if you think you can do better.
    6
  20. It's called fashion decadent westoids read a book for once and learn about it.
    6
  21. new armored division made up of T-62's, BTR-50 and mad max MTLB
    6
  22. one thing we learned from START is that Russia's ICBM's are sitting in 20ft of water, the US also famously follows around Russian strategic subs and would have them sunk before they got their launch doors open. we should still try to avoid a nuclear war but my main concern over Russian would be that the American response would be to strong.
    5
  23. Just wait until MTLB with ancient naval gun bolted on causes the Ukrainians to die from fits of laughter. checkmate westoids
    5
  24. within the framework of the US armed forces they certianly would dominate them.
    4
  25.  @mop330  LOL keep dreaming, corruption happens in the US but its a minor nuisance and not an all encompassing way of life like in russia
    4
  26.  @russiasvechenaya58  do you mean the mercenary army that's been farting around outside Bakhmut for the past year?
    4
  27. China is probably on of the few countries more incompetent then Russia, Chinese officers spend 50% of their training time studying party ideology. Another parade army that cant do much. Also say what you want about Russia but they are at least food and energy independent, the same sanctions on China would cause mass starvation and blackouts. China does not want to mess around with the west despite their rhetoric
    4
  28. That figure is only Russian army not DPR, LPR, Chechens or Wagner
    4
  29. everything outside Moscow and St. Petersburg looks like it already has been nuked
    4
  30. Russia has been using human wave tactics 200k is fairly reasonable
    4
  31. *takes massive copium hit. If only Russia would get serious they would end this war in a day
    4
  32.  @missk1697  that was prior to the chip ban, now China only makes the lowest tier chips for smart blenders and other junk. why do you think apple is leaving china?
    4
  33. Russia has a smaller GDP then New Jersey...
    4
  34. You should go to Russia and volunteer to fight the globohomo.
    4
  35. we even gave him off ramps, he could have said denazification complete mission success and went home instead he had his farcical reforendums and annexed the east, now all he can do is cry while his garbage army gets destroyed. and if he decides he does want to mess around with NATO then we will nuke them to eternity.
    3
  36.  @dancahill9585  no you see *takes an enormous hit of copium, this was the plan from the start send in the T-62's and mad max MTLB's in while we dick about outside Bakhmut for a year, and then the TRUE Russian army strikes and its checkmate decadent globohomo NATO.
    3
  37.  @yap5995  you can't park a tank in some field in Tunguska for 40 years and expect it to work, and thats assuming they haven't been stripped bare by conscripts, which they have.
    3
  38. no need just strap ancient naval guns on MTLB
    3
  39. He also forgot that Russian GDP numbers are largely fabricated
    3
  40.  @hellgates_javed6451  Russia is using human wave tactics and casualties around Bahkmut are around 7-1 in favour of Ukraine...
    3
  41.  @yap5995  let me know when you guys take it
    3
  42. one thing we learned from START is that their ICBM's are sitting in 20 feet of water
    3
  43.  @dgart7434  The US famously follows the Russian strategic subs around because they are loud af and would have them sunk before they could get their launch doors open
    3
  44. Take a look at the map from 1914, that's what russia wants and they wont stop until they either get it or are soundly defeated. we have a golden opportunity to support a non nuclear ukraine and hopefully avoid a nuclear war.
    3
  45. Real life is nothing like twitter, you understand that right?
    3
  46.  @peterpanini96  are you on glue?
    3
  47.  @claytonzak948  tell that to the russians
    3
  48.  @claytonzak948  yeah and Russian MOD has stated they are going to start emulating Wagner tactics, mostly because they are out of equipment though.
    3
  49. there is a chip ban on China, their high tech manufacturing is finished. all they can make is the worst chips for smart blenders and other garbage. Also sanctions would effect them much more then Russia because at least Russia is food and energy independent. China would starve to death in the dark without the west.
    3
  50. once the MTLB's with old naval guns arrive the war is as good as over, checkmate decadent west.
    2
  51.  @nobodyherepal3292  no you see, *takes massive hit of copium*, we dick around outside Bakhmut for a year taking massive casualties sending in human waves then we send in the T-62's and MTLB with ancient naval cannon bolted on, then we send in the REAL russian army. Checmate decadent fools
    2
  52.  @DSpace1  except China is going through the largest economic, demographic and societal collapse in human history. and is completely reliant on the west to keep the lights on and food on the table.
    2
  53. no you see this is russian strategy. *takes a huge hit of copium. we send in the T-62's and MTLB's with naval cannons in first and fart around outside Bakhmut for a year then we send in the REAL russian army and the decadent westoids can only despair.
    2
  54.  @Seth9809  China prints WAY more money then the US
    2
  55. all they have been doing up to this point is launching unguided rockets from over the horizon at treetop level. you could get the same effect launching from the back of a toyota
    2
  56.  @AJ-sw8uf  yeah no shit what's your point? and waters wet. casualties have probably been about 3-1 in favour of the defenders, just like every conflict. although with the human wave tactics Russia has taken to in the last few months its likely worse then that for them.
    2
  57.  @AJ-sw8uf  you're right it must be different then every war ever, defenders don't have an advantage anymore for the first time ever, amazing. If anything its worse, have you not been watching the footage from Vulhedar where the Russians send braindead wave after wave to die in the same minefield over and over? and in Bakhmut where human wave tactics have seen a resurgence its at least 5-1 in favor of Ukraine, and as high as 7-1.
    2
  58. since the chip ban China cant really manufacture high tech things anymore. They can buy chips from a 3rd party at an inflated cost but it negates their ppd advantage and then some.
    2
  59.  @DSpace1  he could do like China did this year and report nothing.
    2
  60.  @jjsheets330  well it suggests that the Chinese economy is in shambles at least.
    2
  61. i'll trust you instead kurt. Idiot
    2
  62.  @guspaz  no you see, *takes massive hit of copium. The plan from day one was to fart about outside of Bakhmut for a year and take massive casualties making human wave assaults, then we send the t-62's and mad max MTLB's in and then we send the REAL Russian army and decadent west can only cry.
    2
  63. Also Russia's stated GDP is much lower then its actual GDP.
    2
  64.  @EliHaNavi  since the chip ban china can only make the lowest quality of chips for blenders and electric razors.
    2
  65.  @EliHaNavi  Are you getting this info from the CCP? most of the 'current' stuff that they build is sub par chinese knockoffs of Russian tech, there wont be any future development except for what they steal. All the progress they have made is with Western help, and all them went home last year when the chip ban was implemented. China is shockingly corrupt, maybe worse than Russia they didn't even release GDP numbers this year because their economy is in a complete nose dive, they couldn't even just make up numbers like they do in a normal year. And forget high tech manufacturing even low tech manufacturing has fallen off the map. This is the last decade of Chinese competitiveness. Even if terminal demographics was there only problem (it's not) they wont be around as a functioning state, if the CCP manages to hold together it will be in a state similar to North Korea.
    2
  66.  @EliHaNavi  semiconductors are a very interconnected industry, the wafers come from japan, and the machinery from korea, the designs from the US the lithography from the Netherlands and everyone except the Koreans have pulled out( and they will eventually too), the Chinese semiconductor was killed off completely and it was easy. they are done there's no coming back
    2
  67. that would be nice but i think everyone who had half a brain or spine already left the country and those left are terminally braindead
    2
  68.  @-Kaje  we send old junk we dont want to maintain anymore, not anything we would actually use to fight Russia or China
    2
  69.  @LoneWolf-rc4go  *takes huge hit of copium, no you see this is Russian strategy to streamline it's armed forces. We send in the mad max MTLB's and T-62's and then we hit them with the TRUE russian army. Checkmate Globohomo west.
    2
  70.  @mellotim  Russia's GDP is smaller then New Jersey and the BRICS countries dont give a rats ass about Russia
    2
  71.  @mellotim  cool story Ivan. They are buying Russian hydrocarbons at the price cap levels set by the EU which is break even at best for Russia. Russian energy exports have fallen by 48% in the last 2 months. are you taking into account purchasing power parity terms? i dont think Russias economy is as large as you think. None of the BRICS countries give a rats ass about Russia. Brazil is an american ally, not a very good one but they know where their bread is buttered, India is another american ally, they want to play both sides but to counter their enemy China they are moving closer to the US. China is currently going through the largest demographic, economic and societal collapse in human history we dont even know what their GDP is because they didnt publish it this year. and they still do way more trade with the west then with Russia. and are completely dependent on the west to keep the lights on and food on the table, without our continued support they all starve to death in the dark in 6 months. and SA is a borderline failed state with 40% unemployment and the only reason we dont bring them into the fold is they are too irrelevent to bother. BRICS is literally some tech bro's investment strategy not some grand alliance. The only counties to vote for Russia at the UN are North Korea, Guatemala and Syria. A truly fearsome group. Lay off the copium an stop watching RN
    2
  72.  @mellotim  Taking anything Russia says at face value is moronic, let me guess you think everything is going according to plan? subtract 50% at least to any number the Russans put out. They only know how to lie and the only reason they tell the truth is to facilitate some other lie.
    2
  73.  @mellotim  i'm not American, what does the Iraq war have to do with anything? other stuff exists. and if you think corruption in the west is anywhere close to what it is in Russia you live in a fantasy world
    2
  74.  @mellotim  later ivan, pretty rich coming from the guy that parrots Russian talking points, let me guess you think everything is going according to plan. gonna be rough finding a job once russia runs out of money hey.
    2
  75. They pretty much have to wait for a the balkanization of Russia or get nuked, and i'd imagine the new countries that emerge won't make the same mistake that Ukraine did and give up their nukes
    2
  76.  @ffff7164  yep also Russian GDP claims are largely fabricated.
    1
  77.  @AJ-sw8uf  op made the statement that Russia was outgunned by nato equipment in Ukraine and were still holding on. and i said yeah amazing what can be accomplished with no regard for human life, implying the russians are taking massive casualties with cannon fodder. ok?
    1
  78.  @Mortablunt  all companies in china are run by the state, and yeah China has dumped a colossal amount of money into micro chips and its been a total failure.
    1
  79.  @mellotim  nobody defends the Iraq war is the difference, Russia still acts like they're the victims of history like the reason everyone hates russia is due to russophobia and not their own actions. and i'm not sure what you mean by nothing makes international news, yeah it does all the time. all america's mistakes and unjust actions, the bad stuff they've done are there for all the world and it's own population to see, and discussed openly by everyone inside America and out. What great crimes do you think haven't been discussed? yeah the media does have some serious problems, mostly due to the 24 hr news cycle, but at least there is freedom of the press. you don't tow the party line in Russia and you end up in a Siberian basement. No country has been convinced to join NATO they did on their own volition because they've been occupied by Russia before and they know what hell is gee i wonder why they would want to join. If the Baltics weren't in NATO then all the nonsense we see in Ukraine 'oh poor Russians are in danger we better go liberate them' would have already happened there. If you had a belligerent neighbor that has invaded your country before and shipped most of your family to the gulag do you think you might want to join an alliance to ensure your safety? Also 'feeling secure' isn't a right of any country, tell it to Poland or Estonia. Should Poland be permitted to invade Belarus because it would make them feel safe from Russia? (Lukashenko being an illigitamate dictator aside) I bet Lithuania would feel a whole lot better if Kaliningrad didn't exist. There were talks about bringing Russia into the fold and we tried, it was Putin that expelled everyone trying to make that happen because he was benefitting from the corruption. Putin wanted us to beg him to join but that's not how NATO works, countries apply for membership. the idea that BAE or lockheed martin or something the US did caused Russia to invade its neighbour is inane. You say that the US has killed more civilians then Russia since 1991, are you sure about that? I know people from Mariupol and the estimates i've heard are at least 100k dead civilians and that's just one city, one city and it's the same everywhere they go. When that theatre there with the 'Children inside' sign was bombed the Syrians immidiately spoke up and said 'yeah you cant let Russia know where your women and children are hiding because they will target them'. they also killed 10-20% of the Chechen population and flattened Grozny. invaded Georgia a couple times. The war in Iraq was a disaster for sure but toppling Saddam, one of the most hated men in all of history and trying to annex Ukraine and the democratically elected Zelensky isn't even in the same ballpark. i'm not saying the US is some saintly nation that can do no wrong but they at least try to avoid civilian casualties. Did the CIA have anything to do with the coup, maybe but you dont get 90% of your population to participate in a rebellion because of outside influence. If you were givin a choice between joining the free and prosperous west and being a Russian slave it's not a difficult choice to make.
