      If that’s the state of the Russian military it says a lot that even with billions being thrown at Ukraine they’re still fighting a year and half later

          What I mean is that Ukraine still fighting Russia with so much money being thrown at their defense doesn’t seem to jive with a narrative of a foundering Russian military

            What russia lacks in gear it makes up with cannon fodder and blood. This is how you last a year and a half.

              Like every article and interview with Ukranians about the conditions on the battlefield make mention of the RF consistently having an exponential (sometimes 10 to 1) artillery advantage, which also doesn’t gel with the narrative of an unsupplied army on the brink of collapse

              It’s not the Russians sending waves of recruits into minefields but ok

                Because you think they didn’t do it when they attacked a few month ago ?

            They may not have many effective pieces of equipment or soldiers, but they sure as hell have a lot of ineffective ones

            And what he’s saying is that you can do a lot of fuckery when you keep people misinformed.

      Surely the Ghost of Kyiv can wipe out those 40 drunks in less than a year, yes? No need to throw $40 billion every month
