Of course this is not possible, we have been told since the beginning of “smo” that Russia needs nothing from anyone, their weapons production is second to none, their manpower is unlimited, and their weapons stocks are unlimited…./s

Trump warned Europe about neglected military spending and dependency on Russia for natural resources.

Very true
I spent almost 40 years in the military and not once was I made to pay for my equipment, or give part of my salary to my superiors.

At best this is pandering at worst it is just making room for the new extortionists

Corruption is everywhere, but Russian culture takes it to a much higher level

“The approximate date for the liberation of the Kursk region from the Armed Forces of Ukraine… next year.”

In the peace settlement?

Next year, Western Artillery production is on track to give Ukraine Artillery superiority, and drones even more so. Russian stockpiles and financial reserves will be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

If it is too hard this year, things will likely be generally harder next year.

On Tuesday, the 235th Military Garrison Court in Moscow received a petition from investigators to arrest the detained deputy commander of the Leningrad Military District, Major General Valery Mumindzhanov, who is suspected of receiving a bribe of more than 20 million rubles. This was reported to TASS by the court's press service.

A criminal case has been opened against the major general under the article on accepting a bribe on an especially large scale; he faces up to 15 years in prison. According to the investigation, he held the position of head of the resource provision department of the Ministry of Defense and, being responsible for the clothing provision of the RF Armed Forces, facilitated the conclusion of contracts with commercial organizations for the supply of uniforms in the interests of the Ministry of Defense, including to the territory of the SVO, for a total of more than 1.5 billion rubles. For this assistance, he received a bribe in the total amount of over 20 million rubles.

20 million “rubbles” is about $225 000.

This is the sixth general close to Shoigu to be caught in corruption cases.

After 3,000 years of State corruption, China as raised it to an art form, a level Russia can only seek in bitter dreams.

Yes, next year the world will learn the truth when they take back Kursk in a matter of days: “Russia needs nothing from anyone, their weapons production is second to none, their manpower is unlimited, and their weapons stocks are unlimited.”

“liberation of the Kursk region from the Armed Forces of Ukraine”

Given the Russian way of war, that would likely entail levelling the place, and leaving it a howling wasteland - a very good reason for Ukraine to choose to do the fighting on Russian territory.

“Trump warned Europe about neglected military spending and dependency on Russia for natural resources.”

Talk about dependency on Russia for natural resources, and Russia’s use of it as a coercive tool, just look at landlocked Mongolia, which borders only Russia and China.

With a population less than half that of New York City, Mongolia imports 95% of its petroleum products and over 20% of electricity from Russia. Russia has repeatedly throttled the supply over the years to coerce Mongolian policies.

With the harsh sub-zero Mongolian Winter approaching soon (far from temperature moderating oceans), cities would be hard pressed to survive without Russian oil products. Although they generate most of their electricity with domestically produced coal, petroleum fuels are needed to mine and transport it (as well as transporting most else).

Even in theory, only China could possibly bail them out from a Russian embargo, but Mongolia relies on Russia as a counter-weight against Chinese colonization. In fact, the Soviet Union liberated Mongolia from Chinese colonization, making it the second communist country on Earth (no longer communist since 1990, or socialist since 1992).

Mongolia is more dependent on Russia, and more isolated from any other alternative, than the rest of Central Asia.

That is why Putin (or a double) could force a visit in defiance of the ICC warrant.

Ukraine’s strategic industries, justice, and ecology ministers submit resignations

Kyiv Independent reports:

“The reasons for the resignations were not specified. The news came after months of reports about the possible replacement of several Ukrainian ministers.

Head of the Servant of the People’s party David Arakhamia said that the reshuffle would affect more than half of the government’s staff.

“Tomorrow is the day of dismissals, and the day after that is the day of appointments,” he added.”

Putin needs to be worried about this “liberated” land, we see china “renaming”
Cities in Russia…

Putin is in no position to resist

Perhaps, but even in their “small” way, Russians do a pretty good job at it

When you need to go to a hospital in Russia, no charge; when you need a good doctor no charge; when you need an operation, no charge; when you need a hospital room and board, no charge.

In China, you better have some money ready to pay for access to all of those. There is no medical insurance, other than a person’s or family’s wallet. Your treatment will follow the written Party approved procedures, even if it kills you.

All of those people, your doctor, your nurse, your specialists, your room cleaners - all of them have their hands out. No money, no admission.
