They’d have hell of a time getting through Poland. Poland isn’t the weak anachronistic army that it was at the beginning of WW2.

A couple thousand. But the storage bases are empty.

Hyperinflation coming soon to a dictatorship near you!

Great. Now they need to produce about 300 per day.

Just wait a while. When they get the Big Beautiful Bill through and its effects kick in full force the bottom will drop out. Federal debt will skyrocket and servicing it will become exorbitantly more expensive. It is already getting expensive with all the credit agencies downgrading the US. They will have to print more money to survive. Interest rates will skyrocket.

Equating Nazis and Zionists, if the shoe fits. You should be allowed to say it.

Even if Putin’s successor adopts real democracy, it will take generations to change the national psyche that thinks they need a strong leader. As much as the west hates Putin, he does have real support among the people. At least as long as he remains strong.

As sad as this sounds. This seems to be the state of things. It would require generations to fix this. The best case scenario would be to split Russia into smaller pieces and then fix the individual pieces. Doing the same thing to the US and China. Wouldn’t hurt either.

There was some talk about it a while back. But I haven’t seen any evidence of it yet.

They did it right though. The 14 were all walking in front in a line unarmed. Two guys with automatic weapons can kill 14 unarmed people very quickly if any one of them tries anything. One or two might get away if they tried to run. But I don’t think they have a chance of overwhelming the two. Also they had drone support.

Before that happens Russia will likely implement policies that bring the price down to about a hundred. And then it will rise again in spite of them. Rinse and repeat.

The USD RUB comparison is tenuous at best. Ruble isn’t being freely exchanged and the volumes are so low that Russia can manipulate the price. They just don’t have the reserves to do it for an extended period of time. So they apply policies to achieve the same goal. But even that hasn’t worked in the long term.

When speaking of drones of all sorts the figure is more like 95%.

They should be given. No questions asked. It’ll be cheaper than rebuilding the Ukrainian infrastructure over and over again.

Russia is going all in on Warhammer 40k. They also had the wax protection seals (or whatever they are called) on soldiers going in to battle.

He’s the covert ninja guy of the group.

Except in China a fair percentage of those are tofu dreg construction.
