“Er, NATO weapons arent getting clobbered.”
It wasn’t me who came up with the term BRADLEY SQUARE, it was someone else who noted the KILLING FIELD of the carcasses of our best armored transport carriers. Lepords are SITTING DUCKS against Russian weapons, as Avdiivka showed, HIMARS are not even in the news, Russian fighters have free-run to drop PRECISION glide bombs, and the FAVORITE fighting force of the Neocons, the NATO-Trained Ukrainian Nazis (Azovs) RUN FOR THEIR LIVES when given orders to fight the Russians.
AGAIN, Ursala PROMISED us nearly 2 YEARS AGO that Russia’s economy would be in TATTERS, I say TATTERS.
...is it?
I get pissed off at the ARROGANCE of the West because we don’t do shit to be competitive with countries like Russia, China, and much of the THIRD WORLD, instead we’re infested with DEI, QUOTAS, HORRENDOUS ‘Education’, knocking down huge hydro dams, tearing down coal plants, outlawing drilling, and yet we run around trying to TAKE OVER THE WORLD, and thinking that we can actually pull that crap off (maybe because we’re white, and therefore a ‘superior’ race, or something?).
If the Neocons get SPANKED in Ukraine, without first blowing up the world, the world will then be a MUCH SAFER PLACE for everyone.
That was one incident 7-8 months ago, in a minefield.
And Bradleys are 1980s tech. And those particular Bradleys are 1990s upgrades, not even current.
As for tanks, its a relative matter. The Russian tanks seem to be getting destroyed at rates orders of magnitude greater. Whats the Russian high tech here, pulling rusty hulks from the 1970s out of parking lots?
The Russian glide bombs are things the USAF had thirty years ago. The US version, the SDB, is now being repurposed on spare MLRS cluster boosters, making the GLSDB.
My criticism of Russia, the society and economy, is that it CANT make use of its assets to be productive with its human capital. It rests on its oil and gas resources.
You have a serious problem with perspective.
All the @#£%& thats going on with the DEI and other BS are problems, but you leave out all the good parts. The US IS the high tech leader, and throw in its allies, which are its only class level competitors, and the “free world” dominates absolutely.
The news that really matters in all this is in trade journals, not FR posts and arguments.
