They report that the Russians are using conscripts and old equipment.

The US and EU continue to prop up Zelensky and Ukraine, in a conflict that would have been over some time ago, were it not for the cash and weaponry.

Some will argue that the West is helping suck the life out of Russia. Hmmm. Is Russia, with help from its Chinese friend, sucking the life out of Europe and the US?

Time will tell what happens this winter in Europe when folks start freezing.

They should have read the story of the ants and grasshopper. EU? Sucks to be them.

According to some reports I’ve watched, Ukraine has already lost the equivalent of the entire British Army.

And the winner of the war in Ukraine is...

China

Is that what Joe Biden and Boris Johnson wanted to begin with?

Not to worry. The Biden Crime Family will make sure it gets refilled and get its 10% skim off the arms manufacturers.

Russia has been emptying prisons and conscripting those prisoners for the war.

Being drained of weapons and armory would be really useful if you wanted to have millions of third worlders suddenly invade a defenseless Europe.

The West doesn’t consider a land war lasting for months as credible, therefore we don’t need to deal with the cost of large stockpiles of conventional weapons.

No problemo. The Ukes will sell ‘em back at a slight markup on the black market.

If one little conflict drains Europe, NATO and America of arms, what would fighting China cost?
