More Than Half of Russian Equipment Stockpile Gone. We're In The Endgame Now. (militarnyi.com)

Trolls & bots fail to understand or accept that Russia is anything but infinite and inevitable - but numbers are numbers. They've spent half of their entire Soviet inheritance to steal what they sit on today. The war doesn't end when they get to zero vehicles. The half they've squandered is surely the BETTER half, and they still need an army for territorial defense and internal repression. Ukraine is not about the break, and this is probably the best position Russia is ever going to be in. This is the endgame of this messy, abusive Divorce, and Pootz has to come up with some whopper lies to say it was all worthwhile.

If this were a board game, now is precisely the time that China would push into Siberia all the way to the Western edge of the Urals, and there's not much Russia could do about it short of nukes.

short of nukes

That is a very big thing Russia could do about it.

Russia doesn't have any working nukes. If it did, it would have thrown one at Ukraine. And nobody would give a fuck about it - neither the US nor any other nuclear power would get into it over Ukraine getting nuked. Am ukrainian, before y'all talk any shiz.

This is a horrible take; russia underspent on their army (with current results) to upgrade and refurbish the nuclear forces.

[–] sepi@piefed.social 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The trick is that the money for the nukes was stolen. Nukes have value as a boogey-man and the russians expected everybody to be scared of the idea that they had nukes. You seem to believe them on this front.

Well yes, I am a sane person who watched a nuclear program, monitored by outside observers, be refurbished.

What, you got a really cool youtube video I have to see?
