Do you remember how experts predicted the useless, rubbish, totally not fit for service Russian army would be ejected from the Ukraine sometime last year?
Sure you do, those stupid subhuman Slavs were all about to lose Crimea, the Donbass, Luhansk and everything else, hell, a victorious NATO/UKR combined arms battlegroup was gonna take Moscow itself, or at least make it quake and dethrone terminally sick Putin.
Nice, and it seemed to be working. The idiotic peasant Russkies failed to take Kiev, in fact they retreated, and then they lost Kherson, Izium, and all the rest, just showing how corrupt and useless they were. How idiotic of Vlad Putler to nonsensically wage war against the Garden of our totally free democratic rainbow utopias. What an unhinged autocrat.
Right. 2014 STATE coup/maidan aside, things haven't been going so well for Victoria "Fat Devil Dog" Nuland, far from it. Russia hasn't collapsed, wondrously. On the contrary, they're getting stronger, with over 600k soldiers in the SMO.
I know, a small number by historic standards, see BAGRATION, but still. And guess what? Russia manufactures stuff like artillery shells on its own soil, they have factories. No kidding, they really do, and they're churning out tanks and IFVs 24/7.
Point being, we don't. We've off-shored/asset stripped our manufacturing and can't make things like millions of steel artillery shells or ships or planes or guns or anything else needed to fight the industrial scale war which was never supposed to happen. It seems, my dear friends, that Vladimir Putin called the West's bluff.
England, the once great lion whose roar woke the world, has, maybe, 150 aging tanks and perhaps 12 long range artillery pieces. France, La Belle France, has, apparently, 90 serious guns, wow, and pathetic Germany has enough ammo to fight for two days on the battlefield, according to the WSJ.
Dear readers, at the risk of ad naus, I say again with emphasis: The Western Power, in particular Europe, has lied to itself for several decades, kidding itself that it will never, ever, ever have to fight a major war again. Instead, pump all that cash into vote winning migrant assets and Rainbow Baphomet take the hindmost.
Seems to me, and it's just an ill-informed guess, that Christian Russia's called out the LGBTQ+ unicorn riding godless West on this score. Of course time will tell.
Europe has “systematically demilitarized itself because it didn’t need to spend the money,” thanks to the lack of an apparent threat and U.S. military dominance around the globe, said Anthony King, a professor of war studies at the University of Warwick. “They have basically gone to sleep.”
