Only 15%? Shows that Russia has not been pursuing a quick victory. Slow wars are always harder — on both sides — than quick wars.

I don’t believe the remarkable ‘success’ of the Ukrainians in the Russian Black Sea so much as a highly capable, front-line force as much as I believe that they are adequately capable, well-equipped (from Western powers) implementers. IOW, Russian fleet equipment intel-identified, tracked, and designated by US/EU intel and then UKEs given the information and they push the buttons.

NATO provides the drones and missiles and does the targeting
Ukes “ maybe” push the button

So all our money and polices are helping Russia, that figures under Biden.

NATO is likely the big intermediary, but I’ll bet dollars-to-donuts they’re getting the big overhead feeds from our National Assets (spy satellites directed by the NRO).

Gee whiz, that's not good for the Uke GloboHomoPedoNazi army, now they'll get shot 15% more when they are killed than when the war started.

The funny thing is that all the WEFtards are doing is helping to revitalize what was a stagnant russky defense R&D and industry. Plus they are learning to counteract our CIA's tech and tactics on the front lines, and getting practical experience in drone warfare (where it's becoming apparent this is the way of the future).

Are the russkies sharing their newfound knowledge with the chinks? Maybe. It could render whatever surprise defenses we were going to try to whip out against them in their takeover of Taiwan moot.

We tipped our hand for the sake of a bunch of corrupt faggots who were laundering money for the communists in our government. Stupid plan on Nuland's part.

You raise a good point.

By deploying US and NATO weapons systems against Russia, the US has given them the motivation and opportunity to learn and adapt.

Allowing Uke Nazis to use them improperly has accelerated the process.

Further, the US has self identified as an enemy of Russia and an ally of Oligarchs, National Socialists, Homosexuals and Pedophiles, more motivation to adapt and defeat the donated weapons system.

Russia's Hypersonic Missile Systems prove that Russia can make the most modern weapons and can learn to defeat the weapons systems of adversaries.

Thinking they won't is just plain stupid.

We tipped our hand for the sake of a bunch of corrupt faggots who were laundering money for the communists in our government.

Another truth not lost on the Russians.

If the Neocons and the Chicago Boys hadn't backstabbed the Russians after the Wall came down, then it would be the US, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Russia uniting economically to keep China at bay.

This is true.
