  4.  @AsunaYuukiSAO3  I consider this strategic reserve to be like how a prepper stores food for a rainy day. Its good to have in case a war happens or some major world event. Even if there are a long period of peace and prosperity you might wanna have those stocks. However just like canned food do not last forever is the same true for military weapons and ammunition. It must therefore regulary be rotated, because it will get bad and hit expiration date. And not just because 40 years might have passed and countries around the world have invented and built more powerful tanks. But also because chemicals inside an artillery shell deteriorate with time and becomes unreliable and unsafe to use after some time, and an artillery grenade might explode inside a gun barrel. And also equipment gets bad by wear and tear as you use them and suffer from material fatigue. Fighter aircrafts will fall apart mid air and need lots of repairs for each hour of flying if they fly much and therefore undergo much wear and tear. And the same is also true even for battle tanks, where the quality of the armor falls with each decade. The quality of the steel falls due to material fatigue caused by stress like when you drive the tank in a forest over big rocks in a bumpy terrain, and rust and corrosion also makes the armor more brittle. But even if you leave the machines unused in a garage for decades, they will still not have the same good quality as when they were created. The rubber around cables have dried up and needs to be replaced, oil filters needs to be changed, fuel tanks needs to be cleaned, rats could have bitten and destroyed the electronics and so on. So I suggest that just like a prepper eats up his old food and buys newer food to replace it - should the american military also do the same. One should look at this as a great chance to modernize the US military and free up funds for making the necessary transition over to a modern vehicle park and have more modern ammunition ready in case a big war with China happens. And meanwhile are russia as a big threat to USA being destroyed. Its a big win. Every old M113 that are not needed for museums or film makers should be sent to Ukraine. And USA got much more Bradleys and Abrams that it needs, and just a fraction of that huge stock in the desert could make an enormous difference in Ukraine.

  26.  @nikhilsangle3915  " what Ukrainian army did in DPR and LPR before the war." You mean the fake claims about Ukrainian neonazis killing Russians? Sorry I don't buy that crappy lie. Come up something new. You already tried that fake claim regarding Georgia, that they were mass murdering Russians too. - Something which I have hard to believe. If Georgia is a neo-nazi Russophobic state, then why do it allow in hundreds of thousands of Russian draft dodgers? And why do Russians wanna go there if that place is so evil? I mean wouldn't it be like jews moving to nazi-Germany if the Russian states claims about Georgia was true. All Russia have said about Ukraine has been silly nonsense as well. You say that Ukraine is nazi, despite their government is democratically elected and Zelensky himself have jewish blood in his body. Russia claims to protect the Russian minority while you utterly destroy Russian speaking cities like Mariupol. You say the Zelensky is murdering the Russian speaking minority. Which seems very odd, since Zelensky is Russian speaking himself 🙄 You say that you are fighting against neo-nazis. While you have the neonazi Wagner group fighting along side the Russian army. So how you can denazify a country by sending neonazis into that country is beyond my comprehension. And all things I say here are just a few examples. Just the tip of the ice berg. Those things alone are enough for me to discredit all credibility of the Russian perspective. There is no point in listening to what Russia has to say anymore. Its just all complete nonsense.

  29.  @LA25-d6x  There is 0% chance that Odesa will be taken. Russia can launch some missile strikes against those two towns, but that not the same thing as conquering them and winning the war. Nazi-Germany could bomb London with V-1 and V-2 bombs, but that did not change the strategic situation one bit. And that you are not a russian makes your point of view look even less favorbly to me. People here in the west with all access to information should know better. Russia have spent most of their military force the last 2 years. And look at the map where that got them. Aside from Zaporizhzhia and Khersun Oblast they took in the beginning of the war have all military gains been microscopic. Thousands of tanks, artillery pieces and men lost for a few hundred meters of muddy lands or ruins of a village or town. Now are the scale tipping over in Ukraines favor as they get more and more artillery shells as wests ammunition factories finally begin to produce more. They get F16 fighter jets. They get ATACMS missiles. And hopefully will they soon also get Taurus and Gripen. And meanwhile are russias economic reserves running out and their oil refineries gets taken out one by one. Russia will run into a brick wall where it cannot advance anymore. And that will lead to a stalemate. And in the future will Ukraine then be able to outspend russia in artillery shells and can blast their way forward through russian defences with minimal costs of lives, while russian manpower losses are being maximized. Likely will russia see that the game is up and give up and give back all stolen land. Or the war can continue and Ukraine eats up each russian land conquest bit by bit through artillery fire.
