One more thing Americans are paying more for and getting worse results
Are we getting worse results though? How are you determining that? Russia has always gone for the volume strategy in basically everything. It's basically the zap brannigan special of throwing meat into the grinder until it clogs using cheap, mass produced crap.
The US has gone for high tech and precision. Costs much more, much lower production, but generally better results.
Also Russia is in a "hot" war with Ukraine and of course will be well into mass producing shells to use etc. Seeing as the US is barely passing measures to send aid to Ukraine, there isn't going to be an appetite to ramp up that production.
Look to world war 2 for an example of how the US can go from no real military might to okay you touched our fucking boats, now we end you.
Not only has the US not won a war since the 1950s, literally every nation that relies on high tech low production has fucking failed at warfare
It's war. Things will break and get destroyed. There are no invincible Wunderwaffen. It is always better to have five tanks that are 80% effective but easily replaced and repaired over one single tank that's 100% effective but requires millions to build one single tank
It's a lesson taught over and over again
This is literally Nazi WW2 propaganda that still gets repeated as fact. I'm sure you still believe that the Soviets only armed half their troops at Stalingrad
So why hasn't Russia taken over Ukraine?
And why are you bringing Stalingrad into this? You are literally saying it's a good thing that Russia is producing more arms etc and then saying Russia doesn't tend to operate by trying to use overwhelming numbers? Huh?
That isn't their military goal, I know that planning military is beyond most American minds, but sometimes war aims aren't "take everything"
Because you're the one who began by spouting the "human waves" Nazi myth that began in Stalingrad
I know that it's really difficult for you Lemmitors to have a thought going, but I've heard that if you rub two braincells together you'd be surprised at the results. Don't strain yourself though
I could lay it out in exacting detail but something tells me you would just continue to post Reddit tier gotchas like in the rest of the thread
So instead I'm going to make it as simple as possible for your Reddit brain to understand:
Annexing three Black Sea provinces =|= capturing the entirety of a country
Because that isn't their goal despite what the NATO disinformation mills would have you think.
Bombs aren't people. You can pummel an enemy with a metric shitfuckton of shells without sending in human waves.
Demilitarize Ukkkraine, which is being puppeteered by the world's largest rogue state and exporter of terrorism: the United SSnakes of AmeriKKKA.
idgaf
To force Ukkkraine to negotiate for peace after the Banderite entity broke both minsk accords and the Great Satan broke the Budapest Memorandum. A process that was underway until Boris Johnson twisted their arm to make them keep sending people into the meat grinder
Because they have consistently shown they can be trusted, unlike the conniving Nazi Arming and Training Organization.
Source or stfu.
Neither does the USA, jackass.
Could you retype what you said?
imagine mentioning international law alongside what's happening in Gaza. fuck off
Russia’a goal is destroying Ukraines military which they’re doing extremely effectively. They’re not racing to grab land lol
Usa broke the treaty first, and Merkel admitted that they never intended upholding their part
If you love the nazi pig fucks so much why don't you go there and help fight? I'd love to see that
He’s fighting in the 43rd NAFO OSINT Brigade. Have some respect, civilian.
Gamer-brained jackass
Hexbear mods are discriminating against me by banning all the dunkables while I am sleeping.
Where does this overwhelming numbers thing come from?
Remember when the war started and all the newsmedia was making a big deal out of Russia invading with 150,000 soldiers? Meanwhile, Ukraine had triple that.
You ever think your world view might be a little... curated?
oppa gangnam style
Because taking total control over Ukraine was never part of their war objectives?
