That dude is too one sided, just like McGreggor


i completely agree, which is why i referred to only the first 90 seconds.

I dont have a firm view on the other stuff you mentioned.

Sure, but what you said is more of a poetic interpretation of the meaning of the word rather than the truest definition of the word.

Doesn't really matter though, main point is it isn't limited to military actions.

That's what he means in short. Some geopolitical idiots in Washington thought it'd be a good idea.

ISW explains why Russia's Defence Minister is trying to portray Ukraine's counteroffensive as failed. Shoigu implausibly claimed on 11 July that Ukrainian forces have lost 26,000 servicemembers and 1,244 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles since starting counteroffensive operations on 4 June.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu attempted to portray the Ukrainian counteroffensive as a failed effort against the backdrop of the NATO Summit. Shoigu implausibly claimed on July 11 that Ukrainian forces have lost 26,000 servicemembers and 1,244 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles since starting counteroffensive operations on June 4.[13] Shoigu also tried to present possible Ukrainian interdiction efforts in southern Ukraine as similarly ineffective by claiming that Russian air defenses have intercepted 176 HIMARS rockets and 27 Storm Shadow cruise missiles since the start of the counteroffensive.[14] ISW assesses that Russian MoD reporting on Ukrainian losses is likely highly inflated, and even Russian milbloggers have recently accused the MoD of counting strikes on already damaged and destroyed vehicles as new Ukrainian equipment losses.[15] Shoigu’s rhetoric about the Ukrainian counteroffensive notably contradicts the Kremlin’s reported media guidance instructing Russian state media not to downplay the counteroffensive or overstate Russian successes.[16] Shoigu may be increasingly ignoring established Kremlin guidance on covering the counteroffensive in a renewed effort to portray the MoD as an effective manager of the war in Ukraine following the Wagner Group’s rebellion.

Key findings:

Over a year into Russia's full-scale war, neither Ukraine nor the EU has implemented any solid plans for ammunition production ramp-up
EU member states' governments hardly sign any long-term contracts with producers, while the "wait-and-see" arms industry is reluctant to take financial risks
Ukraine's arms makers also complain about a lack of state support yet scale up production under existing capacities anyway
Ukraine uses from 3-10 times (depending on the intensity of fighting) less ammunition than Russia does, but its ammunition expenditure is still several times higher than Europe's production rates
National protectionism of member states and the bureaucracy of the EU prevented rapid decision-making to tackle ammunition shortages
The lack of unified ammunition types in the EU forces soldiers on the front line to alter their ammunition and adapt weapons, which can delay or jeopardize operations

https://kyivindependent.com/investigation-eu-inability-to-ramp-up-production-behind-acute-ammunition-shortages-in-ukraine/

BTW, how the EU was caught down with the pants when Russia actually invaded. All of the NATO countries cannot ramp up enough ammunition to fight off one country :lol:
Like I told you guys, we need at least 5 years to refill our reserves and have a combat ready army again..

German gouvernment is terminating its contract with Ukraine to repair salvaged Leopard 2 from Ukraine in Poland because Poland is asking 100000€ for repairs when realistically the repair costs would be 12000€. The Polaks want to screw us over. Rheinmetall is building a production/repair plant in Ukraine itself to bypass Poland but then they're in Russia's strike range for ballistic missiles:

With these kind of partners you don't need enemies.
