Ty, but who calls a MINI Cooper a BMW? :rofl:

How are MINI's from Britain getting to Azerbaijan in such large volume? Genuine question.

The minis produced in the last few decades, not the originals, are just BMWs in a different shape. Or the same shape, if you count the x1 lmao
I'm sure there are purists who complain but they can always go drive a golf cart, I think its more obvious if you look at the engine. I get ornery about ford making spark plugs slightly less accessible, a mini probably wants you to pop off 5 panels and remove the engine and put it back together again to plug a phone charger into the cigarette lighter

When you survive 6 months in Ukraine only to get a mini cooper instead of a sack of potatoes.

Yep yep, that's how things are. It's much cheaper for them to basically re-use everything they can.

In any case, I guess the original point is that big brands keep selling to shady places, circumventing the sanctions, amirite?

The failure was a lack of men and artillery(logistics), which is because putin is a copium maximous, but slowly he is learning. Things like manuvering, etc is secondary issue (as proven in south direction)

I still think his approach was massively bad, he played it safe and didnĀ“t want a big war with mass casualties, instead he got a bigger war with more casualties (attrit).


They prepared for conflict but weren't prepared for this level of escalation
