Ah you are one of those , only Russia Today for you
Wait till he learns that Irish economy is 3 smaller (before the war) than Russia but has 30x less population
His mind will be blown faster than a suborbital t80 turret ejection 🤯
Just reading some comments here and all seem to apply to Ukraine too (e.g. casualties of war, mass conscription, inadequate supplies) but the Ukrainians haven't stopped fighting.
This war could drag on. I hope not.
He's right though. CNN is the other side of the coin from Fox News.
Has this thread descended so much that any criticism of anything western gets you labeled as some shill or Putinbot?
Looks like it...
Ah right, the war crimes representative along with Ukrainian police and army staged the footage I take it?
No I do not, you have been posting drivel about the mighty Russia for 2 days now, and drifted into barely contempt for the west, when trying to conceal blame for their actions on NATO.
Treats to Russia from NATO expansion eastwards, you brought it up.
Mighty Russian industrial capacity, you mentioned it - does not exist.
Find one post from me from the past few days. I'll wait...
Nope. I gather my information from reputable sources.
Is that all you got? Accusing me of watching a Putin propaganda channel. You seem to drift around the site making accusations up in your head that posters support Russia or the Russian actions in Ukraine without any evidence whatsoever to back it up.
I'm going to give you another chance to find a single post from myself that is in support of Putin.
I don't get that sense at all. You almost never hear Putin getting mention in the Z channels, unless it's that he's not taking more drastic action. All the criticism is coming onto the army leadership.
What in gods name are you talking about?
You are literally making stuff up in your own head.
Down the end you will see some descriptions.
They sell for good $$ to collectors in the US. These ones are likely unfired and dropped once.
There is in a modern context. It the equivalent of a Zulu Spear against the British Martini Henry rifle or the mostly Dervishes warriors of Sudan armed with single shot rifles against British rapid fire Enfield rifles, Maxim machines guns and rapid firing artillery.
Most modern armies have stopped using bolt action rifles as sniper rifles with 30+ years.
You want to list what you consider reputable sources, so when inevitable Russian war crimes pop up I can keep reminding you
Seems like there's a witch-hunt of anything remotely anti-western. We're shocked when anti-war protesters in Russia are arrested, seems the same militant attitudes are present here.
Apparently, I've been posting pro-Russian drivel for days.
Any sign of that drivel Paul?
I'll accept an apology if you don't mind.
Still nothing of substance from you.
Heart medication, anti-viral, worlds largest producer of blood products, pain killers, vaccines, Europes largest medical device manufacturer. Russia are issuing medikits with 1960s dates to troops in Ukraine and you think that Irish industry is the joke.
Good day to you sir, you clearly have nothing to add to debate other than copy paste.
Seems to be a link to the Washington Post, behind a paywall. What's that got to do with CNN?
CNN have been doing the whole Putin dying/being overthrown spiel since February. It's a tabloid news channel that tells people what they want to hear, you might as well read The Sun.
Reuters, AP, Forbes, Politico would be my go to. What about you?
Calm down Paul. I'm well aware of the contributions of the Irish med and pharma industry. You know we export more $ per capita than any other country?
Any sign of that drivel?
Fantasy about Europe invading Russia.
Ie. The identicle rubbish that Russia used to justify its invasion, an invasion about thing stealing the resourses of Ukraine.
= Drivel.
I'm not anti western in any way whatsoever. I despise Putin and his cronies and i believe i've stated as much on numerous occasions.
This Darth Putin character seems to be actually imagining stuff in his head and just seems to be allowed to label anyone at will a Putinbot or similar without any repercussions. It's not very progressive in regards enabling discussion tbh.
Pa ElGrande?
Yeah, that's not me. Put your glasses on. Easy mistake to make. All is forgiven.
NATO has decided to fight them at arms length. = Drivel
NATO wants 1 thing from Russia and always has and it can be summed up neatly = mind your own **** business.
Fox News isn't on any side of coin, it's just a vehicle to give their revenue generators carte blanche to say whatever conspiratorial shíte will get the dangerously stupid watching.
It's in competition with other loon outlets in a race to see who can report the craziest horseshít, occasionally though a contributor may something that is actually true that goes against the mentally unwell narrative, and of course they will be labelled deep state.
CNN International largely stays clear of the divisive politics, at least during the day and is as reputable as the BBC.
Anyone who claims they are similar to twitter in all likely hood has bitchute'd themselves retarded.
I can't understand how people don't see that. It definitely aims it's content at a group of gullible people who would come from a tabloid reading background. Think i read recently they've been taken over maybe?? not so sure but either way they have a long way back to their routes of the 90's when they seemed to report from a more balanced prospective.
Withdraw that baseless allegation sir. It's Infowars all the way for EOQRTL
In WW II Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto recognised the USA had the materials and production capacity to win the war, since Japan itself did not have the raw materials. He knew he had a limited timespan to inflict damage on the Americans, before American industrial production would ramp up.
Both the Russians and Ukrainians need compatible munitions to feed their artillery and tanks. Ukraine is getting compatible munitions from Pakistan. China is a massive production economy on the scale of the United States, should the Chinese politburo order a scale up to produce munitions for Russia, they can breathe a second life into Russian offence operations. Most of the countries you mention can all produce weapons, but to scale up production means switching to a war economy (aka WW II), as the materials and spending needed must be diverted from consumer use. NATO are now scouting around for stocks of Abrams or Leopard tanks to sent to Ukraine. Ukraine pre war had a defence industry from the Soviet times, it no longer has the production facilities to repair broken tanks and must make do with retrieving parts from the scrap heap to conduct field repairs.
The Russian company UralVagonZavod has problems with sourcing parts to make tanks, and recently they have expanded repairing tanks that are not total write-offs. The Kremlin has also ordered that their defence industries be mobilised to ramp up production and likely inspections to cut out the corruption that leads to crap quality output. Russia has the materials and production centers to supply a war economy. That tells you the Russian administration does not have a plan B and it is digging in for at least another 2 years fighting, most likely hoping that NATO countries will break due to domestic pressures.
This is why China has to be monitored, if this drags on long enough and they can secure sufficient oil and gas from Russia and its satellites to make up for a United States blockade of gulf oil, then that becomes a game changer for Russia. So far they are not doing that, but remember the US did not enter WW II officially until 1941. In two years time, China can be a game changer.
Balance =/= giving equal airtime to the bleating's of a random assortment of conspiracy loons and charlatans
Apologies I did mix you up with another poster.
@darthputin Any links to those allegations i'm a supporter of Putin?
This is the 3rd time now iv'e asked you please supply the evidence or i will be reporting you for unfounded nonsense and conspiracy theories.
