This has never been about Ukraine, this has been about giving Russia a beating and not getting our hands dirty. And the Ukrainians have always been useful tools in this game. We have to stop Putin, even if it means the Ukrainians die in the process. You get it now? It all sounds extremely rational and humane…
According to my astrology calculations, the war in Ukraine will last until 2026. Which is really fucked up in my opinion, and I am hoping this will end earlier. Because the longer this takes, the worst this will get for Ukraine…
Russia cannot allow a banderite Ukraine on its borders and will do anything to win. Some people might think that following certain Russian mishaps in the early part of the war, Ukraine has a chance to win. But taking Ukraine’s successes in say the Kharkov region, Kherson, or Vuhledar is basically treating tactical peremoha as an indicator of strategic peremoha.
This is a fallacy. While Russia might have withdrawn from parts of Ukraine, and might have bungled Vuhledar offensive, none of this brings Ukraine closer to overwhelming the Russian military. Those are tactical victories but in the overall scope of things they are utterly meaningless. Ukraine’s resistance only prolongs the agony and postpones the inevitable, which is defeat of Ukraine. And I think Russia should crush the entire Ukraine and denazify it.
The idea that Ukraine can somehow beat Russia, even with Western help is preposterously stupid, and yet this is what many in the West think. I would add there are many propaganda addled Svidomites that think the same. They hold the belief in megaperemoha over the Moskali. This is a folly of cosmic proportions.
Unless you are some fanatical follower of Ukrainian radical nationalism and your only goal in life is to defeat the Muscovite empire, there is little incentive to keep fighting this war. The longer it takes the greater cost to Ukraine will be.
Meanwhile, normies on my Facebook page think Russia is running out of ammo and has to procure it from North Korea. These people will be livid when Russia is finally done with Ukraine…
We have been told for the last year or so that Russia is running out of stocks of everything and then it always turns out to be false hope.
I can barely tell the American Javelin system from the British N-LAW, so excuse me if some pictures get mixed in. Also, I don’t think most of the soldiers are People’s Militia of the Donbas but regular Russian force.
These are Chechen forces in an abandoned ammunition depo near Zaparozhye, the source say the Ukrainian force fled without engaging them.
More seized guns coming:
Anti-tank guns are not the only gear being seized…
Does anyone have reliable statistic on how many Russian tanks were destroyed by Javelins in the Ukraine conflict?

Do you see yourself as a leader?
No I am an introvert and large crowds of people tire me. It is enough I meet hundreds of people every day and have to manage them. I have very little patience left for people and only hang out with few local friends here.
Ramps up the production of rockets…
As a result of the sanctions, American officials estimate that Russia was forced to dramatically slow its production of missiles and other weaponry at the start of the war in February 2022 for at least six months. But by the end of 2022, Moscow’s military industrial manufacturing began to pick up speed again, American officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose the sensitive assessment now concede.
Russia subverted American export controls using its intelligence services and ministry of defense to run illicit networks of people who smuggle key components by exporting them to other countries from which they can be shipped to Russia more easily.

Officials fear that increased missile stocks could mean an especially dark and cold winter for Ukrainian citizens.

Russia adapted quickly with its own efforts to secure supplies of the needed parts.
Today, Russian officials have remade their economy to focus on defense production. With revenue from high energy prices, Russia’s security services and ministry of defense have been able to smuggle in the microelectronics and other Western materials required for cruise missiles and other precision guided weaponry. As a result, military production has not only recovered but surged.
***
As a result of the push, Russia is now producing more ammunition than the United States and Europe. Overall, Kusti Salm, a senior Estonian defense ministry official, estimated that Russia’s current ammunition production is seven times greater than that of the West.
***
In cases where Russia needs millions of one particular component, export controls can grind production to a halt. But the chips needed to make a couple of hundred cruise missiles would fit into a few backpacks, which makes evading sanctions relatively simple…

Listen up Russophobic dog farts, Russia will always find a way…
What are you doing this evening?
I will be playing Baldur’s Gate III
How do you relax?
I take a holiday in a spa in Italy and I sleep…
