they are not in a war economy. Everyone who has been to Russia says the stores are well stocked, private car sales are up etc etc. They have doubled military spending to 6.4% of GDP but a HUGE amonut of that is salaries which are quite generous, and creating significant growth in rural areas as soldiers send there wages back home. This in turn creates jealousy which drives recruitment. A war economy will be if Russia tried to build a 20M man army to conquer Europe and would require probably 40% of GDP to fund. The russian MIC now employs about 3.5m people which is up from about 1.5m before the war. There will be no peace until Ukraine sues for peace. Any other path will result in more dangerous confrontation. Ukraine was just the farm animal tied to the post to bait the bear.
CNN: Russia producing 3x the number of shells of Europe and USA combined.
- Thread starter nottyboi
- Start date
Not only Ukraine is geographically contiguous with Russia the two
are culturally tied to each other closely as well. Mussorgsky's famous
"Great Gate of Kiev" ("Pictures at an exhibition") is identified as a piece
of Russian music more often than Ukrainian music. There will be a
significant presence of Russians in the parts of Ukraine to hold and defend.
Most likely only a small part of Ukraine not the whole country will be annexed.
Yet you said.
NATO can't out produce Russia either .And even if they could, Ukraine is running out of men.
As for your opinion on time frame or anything else, it would be like anything a Kpop stan or a sports fanatic says about their group and or team.
Many of us, including myself have expressed concerned about Ukraine, but you are all sunshine.
OK smart ass, again why hasn't the mighty stronk Russian army be been able to make anything but 0 net gains in all of 2023 and struggle to make gains in 2024 which would put them on pace if it were to continue to finally when at about the time when the God Emperor of Mankind* takes over and makes it all irrelevant.
All these supposed advantages, going to win any time, crushing advantage... yet nothing to show for it. How much does Russian military prowess and Russian male virility suck that they can't roll over Ukraine with it's small population, lack of ammo, and Ukraine morale collapsing with apparently most of their army not being accounted for.
With the advantages you claim Russia has, fuck man even Mussolini could roll over the Soviet Union by himself with that sort of umph. Maybe your analysis is a bit weak? Nah, you are just a lying stan for Poutine.

1: A 20 million army, on a population of 140 million, with an abysmal modern started of breeding, funded by 40% of GDP only and no lend lease, at that altitude, in this time of year, totally confined to Seymore Skinner's kitchen. Can I see? I'll bring some good old Albany steamed hams.
2: Not sure where you got the second number from, maybe it's real, maybe it's not, but knowing you...
3: If NATO ever gets off their ass it would quickly be over, as it should be. Also it would seem that victory will go to the country that collapses first, unless the US goes full retard and elects a literal traitor as president and even then the EU can keep things going. I'd figure based on how Russia isn't able to leverage these advantages you are talking about on the battlefield that assuming NATO doesn't step up significantly the victory will go to the side that doesn't collapse. Lets, see a country fighting for it's very survival, vs a country trying to invade another in an utterly pointless war and making a total dogs breakfast out of it. I'd put my money on the Russians saying, WTF, we out number them 4 to 1 in population and the war is still going on and our boys are being brought back in bodybags for the Russian equivalent of Brockville and Cornhole. It could go either way, but I wouldn't be too confident.
To paraphrase someone who was in the soviet army Viktor Suvorov and would know a thing or two. The Russians have a history of fighting like lions for defense but tend to do badly in a bullshit war with no purpose. The history basically checks out from what I've seen about this comment. and this is a bullshit war.
As for your third point. Wow, I bet you blame rape victims for having vaginas also.
Since NATO cannot send enough arms for this proxy war, how do you think they will magically come up with arms for their own armies? If NATO were to defeat Russia in a convetional war, it would take 3-5 years to set up and start war production AT A MINIMUM. and if they do get Russia to the brink, Russia will start nuking smaller NATO members to try and divide NATO. If NATO goes full armageddon, then so will Russia and yes, it will all be over. You won't have to worry about paying your bills.
they can't NOW, but given several years of determined action, of course they can. It will require complete realignment of industry. Yes Urkaine is out of manpower, and even if it has bodies, they are not soldiers. Soldiers and armies take months and years to train depening on the role. The question of Russia not taking more land is answered by someone else in this thread. They don't want to over extend their supply chain, and they were not prepared for this war. They have recruited/conscipted 1-1.2m men. It takes time to train these guys. Heck even setting up the training process for 1m men is a massive undertaking. These men are only JUST starting to get rotated into combat units. When you rush the process, like Ukraine did, you get disasters like their counteroffensive debacle.

NATO/Europe could just sacrifice Ukraine and funnel all the aid money
spared into fortification of their own defense. To be sure that is not
enough money to prepare their armies to fight in a conventional war.
But then their objective of the proxy war isn't one to avert future war
with Russia. Having a strengthened and united line of defense along
the border of a broken Russia/Ukraine would give Europe their peace
of mind.
How dumb are you really?
First of all, Russia's got little or no offensive capacity. It's deadlocked against a single 3rd rate power in Ukraine. In the course of that war, it's eaten through almost all its first line equipment and it's throwing untrained conscripts in meat wave attacks.
Putin talks the talk to stay in power in Russia - where the standard rant is that Glorious Motherland can nuke the west before breakfast and send tank columns to the English Channel by noon.
On Russian bullshit talk shows, they rant about nuking London and Paris twice a week. No one takes it seriously. Not only is Russia no serious threat to Europe, but any attempt to invade NATO would sputter and die about 50 years from the Polish border when they figured out that half their AK's wouldn't fire without jamming.
So Komrad. When is it that Russia will train another 50 million vatniks to take the next little town beyond Avdiivka?.... Two years?.... Three years for Glorious Motherland Hero-Army to advance another mile?
So maybe conquer degenerate western-loving evil Poland in 2300?
Oh looksky, Komrads!! Glorious Russia is completely fucksky.
Mighty hero-country Russia repair 100 tanks a month for use in Glorious War in Traitor Country Ukraine! Imagine, Komrads! To repaid 100 tanks is such triumph. Now west is truly fear Mighty Hero Russia.
Even though USA can produce 100 new tanks in week, still is not glorious like Holy Motherland Russia!

Looks, komrads. Another prominent komradsky is fall out window by mistake!!
Komrads! Glorious Holy Motherland is make wonderful tank!
But wait! Tank is not work good! Is surely work of degenerate western sabotage, probably Polish traitor ones.

And glorious western bullshitter Jackson Hinkle is interview pretty Russian important girl and get make rubles from Glorious Komrad Putin.
I agree with what you said. Russia is no serious threat to Europe's
security. Europe's leaders know it. Somehow they don't mind if people
believe Russia is a threat as real and urgent as the threat of climate
change is to Earth. Global carbon emission must be halved by 2030 to
save humanity from extinction according to climate activists. Likewise
Putin must be taken out to avert WWIII. With the help of western media
sheeple are suckered to be thankful of having the modern Winston Churchill
in Zelensky defending the future of democracy against the Adolf Hitler
of our time. Unlike WWII Churchill this time will be fighting by himself
on dinky supply of weapons until his country is depleted of men fit
to fight in the battlefield. After Churchill is abandoned Hitler will still be
of value. Russia will remain the justification of the existence of NATO. Spending
the aid money meant for Ukraine on buying weapons from Trump or Biden's
U.S. and new NATO member Sweden will help unite NATO allies and stimulate
world economy. A ruined Ukraine will still remain a source of cheap and expendable
man power (after repatriation of refugees back to the country) to stand guard
between Europe and its greatest threat. Surely Russia is too weak to invade
and conquer Europe. But a perpetual enemy in people's mind has merit.
The USA does not produce ANY new tanks they are all refurb upgrades . Thats right ZERO. They produced 22 tanks (all refurb upgrades) last year. You are so clueless its beyond funny. Even for a simian you are at the lower end of the evolutionary scale. https://www.defensenews.com/land/20...ld-welcome-tank-ramp-up-if-congress-funds-it/Oh looksky, Komrads!! Glorious Russia is completely fucksky.

Do you ever get tired of being wrong?
YOu can discard that entire article as he does not say which VERSION of the t-90 he is talking about and the subvariants of the T90m. Saying out of hand that 15 year old western tanks have better sensors is not credible. T90M is the latest version, even the latest version is evolving. With the advent of drones. the threat of drones is greater then anti-tank missiles so these counter measures are much less relevant. The most advanced Leopard tank is actually produced by Poland and it got its ass kicked quite nicely in Ukraine. But probably by a Helo or drone. In Ukraine the best tanks are Russian because they are able to traverse the mud, Western tanks are too heavy. Bottom line, very few tank on tank engagements so who has the best tank is not really important.

No need, they have already taken towns beyond. There is no risk beyond Ukraine unless NATO puts troops in Ukraine.So Komrad.

What I said was based on them taking the entire country which seems to be what they want. If they just wanted a piece, they would have stopped by now.
They can obviously hold a piece of it but they have no chance of holding all of it. I thought original post was easy to understand.
