You know that people can see your post history right?
You've done nothing but post doom and gloom for Ukraine and some fairly pro Russian stuff.
The war ends when Russia fucks off from my country. It's that simple. Russia is just pissed that we've told them multiple times to fuck off. (Euromaidan, electing Zelensky, etc).
As far as the article goes nothing surprising really. America is a huge arms dealer who has a massive arsenal at their disposal. This is par the course really. On one side I'm not super pleased that America will be heavily embedded in Ukraine now. On the flip side I'm glad my people are being helped.
What I post is a realistic analysis of the situation, and having delusional fantasies about the state of the war certainly isn't helping anybody. Also, last I checked Zelensky was elected on the platform of implementing Minsk and patching up relations with Russia. The fact that you would lie about something like this says volumes.
The reality is that America has hollowed out its industrial power and at this point can't produce weapons at the rate they're being consumed in this war. Furthermore, Ukraine isn't central to US interests because US is ultimately preparing for a war with China. What's going to happen in the end is that US will abandon Ukraine. Anybody who thinks that US will fight for Ukraine at the expense of US interests is historically illiterate.
I'm sorry. What? Hollowed out our industrial power? Lmfao.
The US is ramping up production to meet the needs of Ukraine. Granted, it took a bit to get that rolling, but when we decide to make weapons, boy do we make weapons.
Throw as many articles as you want about how Ukraine is using more ammunition that we are currently producing. They mean nothing.
We're giving them our older model stuff from the 90s. Compare that to the mothballed museum pieces Russia is rolling out.
And I'm not going to respond further because after reading what you posted and preemptively defending this post, you are a troll, a vatnik, a Russian propaganda mouthpiece or all three.
Think about this for a moment. The USA is using its older stuff first.
You look at what Russia is using and you think it's old or not as advanced. Why aren't you making the logical conclusion (which is backed by evidence if you look) that Russia is doing the exact same thing as the USA?
Why is the USA's use of old weaponry simply that--use of old weaponry--but Russia's use of old weaponry is...something else? Corruption? Incompetence? Whatever other excuse you want to come up with?
It's safe to assume that Russia knows that the USA and other countries are going to send older reserves of weapons first. So it's not unreasonable for Russia to not use more than is necessary and bring in their newest and best weaponry.
