“Up until last week, I bet I can find some of your very embarrassing posts about this paper tiger Russian military.”
I’m pretty proud that I have been calling out how incapable the Russian military is for some time. My basic logic was:
* Can Russia make a car that is internationally competitive?
* Can Russia make a smart phone?
* Can Russia make semiconductors?
The answer to all of the above is no. Why then do we think they can have a military that can compete with the western countries that do all of the above?
But they make great pipelines.
