    Russians are getting… whatever they get,

    Buddy, Russia is blowing up previously never-exploded Britbong tanks and basically disassembling NATO artillery before it even launches, often simply by having weapons that work.

    The Transatlantic Empire’s most effective weapons have proven, like always, to be terrorism and targeted political assassinations. The U.S. is as paper a fucking tiger now as it was when chairman Mao said it.

      Don’t forget propaganda powerful enough to make people oblivious to their material conditions

        Too many folk here in Amerika “know” more about what’s happening in Ukraine than what’s happening in their own damn neighborhoods.

        An addict shoots up. A mugger creates a victim. A cop shoots a black child. A homeless man freezes to death. A drunk beats his wife. Everyone starves and struggles against the tremendous weight of debt. Buildings and streets continue to erode ever further, unmolested by the tyranny of public investment. All within the shadow of billowing Ukrainian and Amerikan flags planted on some “apolitical” petit-bourgeois fucker’s perfectly mowed lawn. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

        At one point when typing stuff like above out one has to ask themselves if Russia, a country that has experience with extremely cold temperatures since forever, does not have winter proof materials for their army.

        Interestingly enough, there were issues with winter gear in Russian military - around 2008. Back when Serdyukov was minister of defence and launched a program of refitting the military. That was when Russian military began switching to “digital” camo (little pixels instead of big spots of the old Flora). Seeing how since then Russia has expanded operations in the Arctic, I daresay the issues were fixed.

      Challengers have been blown up a few times. The point is the crew always escape from the wreckage. Unlike the antiques the Russians are driving. As for the state of russian spray and pray artillery, “even a blind hen finds the corn some of the time”. For expending 10M shells you’d expect them to be in London by now. They just can’t shoot straight.
