I thought the largest country in Europe is Denmark (Including Greenland) or is that western Europe?
What do you think Scholz will do when they tell him, “Putin’s on the phone. He’s calling about Königsberg”?
Russia’s economy is dominated by oil and other extractive industries. It has a relatively small manufacturing sector. It’s not a manufacturing giant.
“No, I’m saying you are lying when you exaggerate what they said.”
You’re welcome to IGNORE what they say, if that’s what you need to do. But it WILL NOT change the facts on the ground.
“Less than 2 months ago, the New York Times reported that most NATO members stockpiles were depleted. But the NYT was obviously paid by Putin to say that.”
LOL, it must be tough being a Neocon supporter!!!
The facts on the ground are that Russia is in a quagmire. They have gone backwards since the summer and the recent minor gains have not fundamentally changed that. Putin will not have Bakhmut as a prize for his victory concert that you all have been predicting.
And Russia has a bottomless inexhaustible stockpile, is that it? 🙄

Ok, if you need to claim that, then so be it.
“And Russia has a bottomless inexhaustible stockpile, is that it?”
Read up a bit on the Soviet ground forces. Unlike the West, Russia didn’t believe in “The End of History”, so they held on to their huge inventories...which are basically inexhaustible for a war as small as Ukraine.
Ok, if you need to claim that, then so be it.
Yep. But what do they get in return from Lindsey Graham?
New York Times
US and NATO Scramble to Arm Ukraine and Refill Their Own Arsenals
“Last summer in the Donbas region, the Ukrainians were firing 6,000 to 7,000 artillery rounds each day, a senior NATO official said. ... the United States produces only 15,000 rounds each month. ... Smaller countries have exhausted their potential, another NATO official said, with 20 of its 30 members “pretty tapped out.” ...”
You go azov with the Nazis, I’ll try Wagner. Hope you’re good for more than 2500 yards, I know I am.
Oh wait. That would require you to get off your arse. How much does Trudeau’s liberal government pay you with Alberta’s money?
Note the pattern of these Operatives. From their own media, they selectively ignore stories that state the obvious - which is that the West never thought they’d have to fight a land war in Europe - and then the West runs out and starts a land war in Europe.
Then, when the obvious is brought up, you can see how they use Alinsky tactics to try to personalize it against the person bringing it up...rather than ever conceding any ground.
“The combined economies of NATO are 10 times the size of Russia’s.”
In the US a single patient can consume drugs in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. A day in a US hospital can be over $10,000.
And regulatory compliance can be very expensive.
Who is going to ask Europe?
I'm willing to wait until the dust settles to declare the winner.
I'm not sure which side it is, but in accordance with America's value system, I'm rooting for the side that most "looks like me". /s
And this take is based on that? The productive segment of the Russian economy is larger than that of Germany, and two and a half times of France, which are the industrial powerhouses.
Or 40% of the US output.
And that without the adjustment by PPP. Do you know that a dozen of edges cost way under a dollar in Russia?

“The combined economies of NATO are 10 times the size of Russia’s. You really expect anyone to believe that they can’t match Russia’s weapons production?”
You took the words right out of my mouth.
