    “We’ve scraped together 40 drunks, a ninety year old tank, and a potato gun. Which the 40 drunks immediately dismantled to get the potatoes to make vodka, and set fire to the tank.”

      "The enemy is both strong and weak. By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

        Oh, bless your heart, child. Do you think we are sending them money all willie-nillie?

        What we are sending them are mothballed weapons that were just sitting in wearhouses collecting dust.

        Now those weapons are fulfilling their purpose and what they were designed to do: kill Russians and their equipment, and there is a massive bonus with the loan. We are destroying Russia without a single American soldier having to be on the ground. Their economy is in shambles, their young bright minds have long since fled the stupidity of the Russian military and leaders, and all that is left are drunks and idiots to blind to see or to ignorant to care what’s happening to the country.

        It’s a master class in overseas diplomatic maneuvers, and Diamond Joe is the one who did it. What a stud.

        You can do quite a bit of fuckery when you keep a population ignorant and misinformed.

            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

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