Why would I ignore it? It works. Take a look at china, they are using the exact same tools after the failure of imported soviet communism

Keep on learning 19th century ideology in the 21st

Well let’s just see what people who actually have a clue have to say muffin https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine

This still doesn’t make Russia magically have a larger industrial base than NATO, it’s absurd.

And the fact that you don’t even understand why using nominal GDP is nonsensical really does add to the comedy.

You think Price Point Parity is a measure of size, so I’m not sure you even understand what you are trying to claim. You’re certainly not using the right terms

And if you think Russia allocating 40% of government spending to be able to wage war on one small country makes them capable, good luck 🤞

Thanks for the essay

So we can make pills that cost 10 cents each and sell them for $500 each.

Lol. Because no R&D is involved. Most drugs are generics now anyway

Because the two week special military operation has floundered.

PPP isn’t related to size, doughnut. Do you even know what it stands for?

Bigger industry? Russia GDP 2.24 trillion dollars

NATO GDP 45 trillion dollars

Lol

Meanwhile NATO is far behind Russia in weapons, manpower and industrial might.

Russia, with an economy smaller than Italy’s?

It seems plausible. The propaganda is that these were step by step instructions, which they weren’t, so there was no plan for a chemical weapons attack.

The facts as they are are bad enough, they don’t need to embellish like this.

Yes. It’s not really surprising for a Sunni Muslim terrorist to have Islamist terrorist reading materials is it?

In trying to verify the image of the bomb, Sky News has spoken to Aimen Dean, a former member of al Qaeda who turned against the terrorist group and became an MI6 spy. He helped create a poison bomb known as the mubtakkar.

He said: “I can confirm this is the exact diagram from a 2003 secret document written by an al Qaeda cell I was infiltrating in Saudi Arabia between 2002 and 2005.”

Yawn

The only thing I regret is engaging with your moronic cheerleading for autocratic states

Who are they supposed to release the golf to?

Brilliant

You assume to know who I want in office.

I’m a centrist.

The further left or right you go, the worse it gets.

The cold war wasn’t fought by just one side.

There aren’t goodies or baddies, there are cunts on both sides.

Yeah, no.

United Kingdom 0.93

Venezuela 0.11

For most of its existence, the party was split between the hardline Khalq and moderate Parcham factions, each of which claimed to represent the “true” PDPA

Classic leftists, can always be relied upon to divide and conquer themselves

In its final years, the party gradually moved away from Marxism–Leninism and towards Afghan nationalism

History may not repeat, but socialism sure does rhyme every time

I prefer my sources to be balanced, yours is a touch too far I’m afraid. I’m a lazy daoist, the centre is the path.

And I don’t need to read theory, theory is for the birds. Facts are what matters, and there is precisely one mildly successful communist country, Vietnam.

One.

Nope, just keeping it safe from self proclaimed presidents

I didn’t say that. If you read the bullshit article it contradicts itself about 5 times before asserting they are equal partners.

Equal partners don’t require aid packages because of repeated failed government experiments in socialism.

It has cancer

CELAC is an equal partner

😂
