Anyone calling Russia (the largest country on earth, 1/8 of earth's inhabitable land mass and 6K nukes) a gas station / weak / a paper tiger / out of missiles since April 2022 / and so on

Is clearly emotional and out of their depth.

The GDP of Texas is larger than the GDP of Russia

So the world was watching and the German government blinked.
No decision on Leopards for a month apparently. The new defence minister has ordered and audit on the countries tank inventory.

Do find it surprising that the government of people known for their efficiency, appear so ponderous in taking the lead. Scholz does appear to be asleep at the wheel on this regard. Although perhaps he has taken the decision in what he thinks is a reflection of the countries opinion on the matter, as is his right.

That aside allies of Ukraine pledge massive amounts of military hardware. Sweden in particular sending "Archer" artillery systems and BMP's.

The UK sending 600 Brimstone missiles.

This just in, western countries to send more arms to Ukraine that won't make any difference in the war other than to extend it.

It all sounds impressive until you look up information about what is being sent vs what Ukraine is asking for.

They are just a gas station and a paper tiger. They're not the 2nd strongest army in the world, they're the 2nd strongest army inside Ukraine.

What point do you think you're making by stressing that they're geographically large? Or that they have 6K nukes? If their landmass were so important, then why have their own citizens been fleeing from the country for 30+ years? Their population is virtually unchanged since the fall of the Iron Curtain. If they use their nukes, they're all going to die as well.

A superior civilization, no chance to win against them.

Clown team at it again, lol

Ukraine is going to get rekt, there can be no other outcome. Ukraine is buying time right now cuz emotional dumb shits are pumping the country full of weapons that will only delay the inevitable.

why do you keep dodging my question only to clutch your pearls on behalf of russia again?

who should determine if ukraine can join NATO? the ukrainian people or the russian dictator? and if it's the former, why did NATO "fuck up" by approving of ukraine's aspiration to join?



also, if you have "1/8th of earth's inhabitable land mass" but an economy that is smaller than italy's, and largely depends on exporting fossil fuel, how are you NOT a failed petro-state then? yes, russia's nuclear arsenal is immense (and literally the only reason anyone still takes them seriously). sure, their military spending is insane, especially considering how underdeveloped its economy is - but even that didn't prevent them from getting humiliated by a significantly smaller army, despite having an overwhelming numbers advantage and choosing the time of attack. is it enough to bully their much smaller neighbours and some AK-wielding insurgents? of course, but that's still just a shadow of their former superpower status. only delusional pootin bootlickers would get mad over reading that btw...

You're projecting.

Ukraine loses if they lose too much manpower. Is it possible? Certainly. But short of that, the supply lines feeding this war are largely uninterruptible, so the question becomes "can Ukraine retake everything before Russia gets tired of losing men?"

Alot of bad feeling and even anger...

Reality is this authoritarian kleptocracy failed to use its potential. Incompetence and regression to barbaric levels.

Ask Russia about Ukraine joining NATO and Crimea issues. I already said that Russia is seeing things different and this has to do with WW2 / cold war / distrust, all of which you ignored and in fact you pulled out a wild Brazil / Portugal comparison (I mean what the hell, lol)

Russian GDP is also something you should view differently and you should consider things like cost of living in Russia / rent etc etc.. Then they got all the energy (fossil fuels) they ever need and so on.

There's no way you shut that gas station (lol) down with a bunch of sanctions (that probably hurt YOU more) and you can't bomb them into submission cuz 6K nukes.

Everyone is betting heavily on Ukraine to win the war it cannot possibly win, Russia will carry on forever if needed and nothing can be done about that (as you know if you think for like 2 seconds).



Yes you (NATO) can fight to the last Ukrainian, way to go man.

When that actually happens and if Russia still wins in the end there will be a lot of explaining to do (and heads on the chopping block)



Anger and bad feelings that's all you, lol

Hence your continued comments that "Russia must be destroyed" which Ukraine can never realize. You should think that over
