ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!
(((PING!)))
... to be added to the best Zeeper-provided entertainment since Paul Shanklin parodies, ping me bro.
Russia can’t make the T-14 because it depends on embargoed Western technology. And the Russians suck at high tech.

The T-14 is being saved to roll into Poland and the Baltics. No need for it in Ukraine.
Wait! This cannot be possible, we’ve been told by many pro-Putin trolls that they will soon be in Ukraine destroying Abrams tanks! Oh the humanity!
Makes sense.
Tanks are nothing more than target practice for aircraft in today’s wars.
Iron coffins for the crews, and a black hole for the money.................
I heard that Putin is already getting his hands on the Arabrams Tanks this week in sufficient numbers to reverse engineer before pushing on with the T-14.
I give 90-days to full retreat and Kiev surrendering in a similar fashion to Berlin anywhere from 5 - 12 months from now.
Russia will allow Kiev to remain as Ukraine, and that’s about it. New Maps show Kiev as City-State out of NATO but in the EU; Outside of Kiev, the rest of Ukraine will a part of Russia, Poland, Romania, etc.
Seems like Obama/Biden and the globalists have got their divided world order. Seems like Obama has destroyed America in the process and we are now politically a Communist-NAZI hybird regime, aka AmeriKa.
Just another Brics in the Wall.
“In terms of its functionality, it certainly surpasses existing tanks, but it’s too expensive, so the army is unlikely to use it now. It’s easier for them to buy the same T-90s,” Chemezov said.
Too bad western militaries almost never do this.
They just keep buying over priced crap from the Military Industrial Complex.
They are “barely” a near peer.
In this entire conflict, it was funny to see how some folks while at the same time arguing that Russia is having a difficult time subduing Ukraine, argued that they have some Cold War imperialistic, Soviet ambitions and threaten Western Europe.
We are stripping them literally of all their allied and aligned nations, one at a time: Iraq, Syria, Libya, Niger, Venezuela... And as we build military bases on their border, in former Soviet Republics, bring new nukes into Europe (low key) and build a missile defense system, we talk about this huge vast threat. If people didn't actually believe this crap, it would be a great story for a satire.
Russia isn't a twerp like most of the idiots we deal with in the Middle East. But they are also no longer the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact is dissolved.
Their only trump card is their nuclear deterrence where they have parity with us. That's it!
In every other aspect, they are significantly inferior / at a disadvantage. Before the wars begin in 2021, their land component forces were 55% ours (I am only comparing them to us, the US), their air component was 47% ours, their sea component 43% ours. Their entire Intelligence Community was 1/3 ours. They have 44% our population, 40% the number of men reaching military age annually. Their economy is 1/10 ours in terms of GDP, 1/5 in PPP, they have less high tech, less industry. They have less allies, they have weaker allies, and most of their allies are mired in internal strife to where their entire IC and military is in reality dedicated to keeping internal security (not able to deploy forces in any appreciable quantity). Their military depends heavily on conscription which brings with it a high turn over of personnel (loss of experienced troops and low morale in conflicts such as these). This is the big boogieman we make them into today. Somehow all of this went unnoticed and we pretended as if Russia was going to invade Poland unless we stop them now in Ukraine, according to our media! Hahahaha
What are they going to attack the West with? Their (((one))) carrier which is literally broke more often than operational? A POS tank which they call a T-90 but in reality is the same junk they used in the Cold War, T-72? If you look at Russian military hardware, it's built primitive, may that be their RPGs or ATGM’s. What we began fielding in 1996 (Javelin) they STILL have no true equivalent for and their Kornet while a capable system demonstrates their problem. It is big, clunky, has a huge sight that is inferior, no fire and forget, a big signature when fired, uses laser beam riding technology which can be detected and defeated, but it's a technology they can domestically produce: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9M133_Kornet It is a dangerous/capable system, but it's not even close to what we have. They can't build/afford something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGM-148_Javelin And when the war in Ukraine broke out, we handed ~10,000 of these to the Ukrainians, which did a great job against Russian armor. The T-14 is the same situation. They do not have the domestic technology base nor the money to really field such a weapon system in great numbers.
China is our true near peer threat (emerging power), with Russia being a “has been” (on the decline for years). We are essentially crushing our competition in who controls the worlds energy reserves. They are still holding onto some of their sphere of influence which we want to take over all in the name of democracy, peace and human rights, of course: Iraq, Syria, Libya, Niger, Nigeria, Venezuela.
Russia being this huge threat is a joke.
