Why is NATO giving money to Ukraine???
It’s Russian money from sanctions-frozen assets.

“de plan, de plan..”
More “Wunderwaffe” claims from Adolf Putler himself, tryna scare the West. How many did they actually fire? One, and there are reports that a second one (the only other one they had) failed.
Not buying it on the word of an ex-KGB operative and a felon who was convicted for fraud and now works for the Kremlin.
Some here are cheapskate isolationists as far as Ukraine goes. They claim they are neutral.....So they help Russia by not giving Ukraine a dime.
While you are a straight up Putin lovin Putinista.
Same here. People are often using acronyms like this or whatever the hell they are.
I asked a Freeper once what one of his meant and he made me out to be stupid for not knowing. His conglomeration of letters could not be defined on Google or anywhere else. I concluded the goofball was the clown with all the dumb letters as a reply.
“Okay, I give. What’s IBTG, IBTS?”
We love our acronyms here because space to reply is limited to only a small number of characters. /s. If you can’t figure out the acronym, like I often can’t, skip reading the reply. It’s only important to the author anyway. /s
When will the West and Russia figure out that Islam is destroying their nations from within and unite to stop the common enemy? This is so tiresome.
The Russians have a long, long, history of exaggerating their weapons systems abilities, whereas the West has a history of understating ours.
“But western MSM has stated numerous times Russia is running out of missiles and ammunition….a very informative Oreshnik video is embedded in the site.”
Yup. And Russia and China also have stealth bombers.

If Russia wants to take back it’s former territory that’s between them and the Ukraine. Not my business, or yours.

FTLOG!!!
Oh, I’m sure Putin will take that lying down. 🙄
That's because many westerners take Russia's official defense spending numbers seriously, when they shouldn't.
According to official Russian numbers, Russia's 2025 military budget is only $145 billion, or about 7% of Russia's nominal GDP of $2.1 trillion.
Yes, 7% is a lot -- the last time US defense spending reached 7% of GDP was during the Vietnam War.
Today the US spends less than half that much -- about 3.3% is the latest number I saw.
Many westerners simply cannot imagine Russia supporting a massive war in Ukraine while maintaining large forces near Finland, the Baltics and in Eastern Russia, all for only $145 billion per year, when US defense spending is now around $1 trillion.
Therefore, western reports suppose that Russia must be "cheating" on something, most likely in ammunition & hardware.
The problem is that $145 billion figure for Russia is basically useless, beginning with the fact that it's a nominal number, not based on Purchasing Power Parity (PPP).
Once converted to PPP, $145 billion becomes ~$500 billion, already a more realistic comparison.
But that's only the beginning.
The real number begins here:
WHY do people keep posting Martin “Ex-Con” Armstrong on here? The guy appears to be an attention-grabbing fraud.
Here are part of his first takes on the USA B-2 and other asset strikes on the nuke facilities in Iran. He was giving credence that the attack was FAKE and might not have occurred at all
Armstrong, in part, on 6-23-25
“While many are calling this attack on Iran just theater and that Trump had to pretend he bombed Iran since there appears to be no significant damage, regardless of whether it was real or not, the shock in the Arab world is real, and this is still the beginning, not the end.”
Huh?
Also Armstrong: “Trump had to pretend he bombed Iran”
again, huh?
The critical thinking skills of people who keep posting this clown’s ravings are questionable.
