You can’t reload Western equipment with funds, and the West’s ammunition production capacity has proven to be lacking compared to Russia’s.

Tbf, Russia has been sourcing ammunition from North Korea.

Karma for the US constantly treating NK like shit for the gall of existing. Their ideology is literally "leave me alone and i'll leave you alone" but that wasn't enough apparently, they had to slam them with murderous sanctions and constant warmongering propaganda.

How is it karma that Russians are killing Ukrainians with those shells? It's not like it's Americans dying.

Ukraine is basically the last thing Russia needs to reestablish the Soviet Union. The US is willing to let that happen just so that they can put all their chips into shooting at people who literally can't shoot back. When they eventually lose to the full might of communism, that will be why.

Basically they're prioritizing maximizing harm so much they don't even care just how stupid their actions are for their long term survival.

I'm not sure if you're joking or being serious. Russia is trying to reestablish Soviet Union..?

Yeah they are, because that was the one time in Russia's entire history where they actually had any level of real power. You can be the nastiest of power-hungry fascists and still see the value there. You really think they were going after Ukraine for fun...?

Russia is currently running on an agenda of Duginism, that should give a big hint on how they will act in the near future.
