I saw some US official asked about the conflict saying some shit about there might be a disruption in Russia's war materiel production in 2025 or 2027 and all I could think about was how the fuck do they think Ukraine will still be engaged in the fight in 2025, much less 2027. Unless the US has a factory where they can produce Ukrainian soldiers, this shit is going to have to wind down soon
This kind of stuff is absolutely surreal to watch, these people are living in an alternate reality.
Fascists can't accurately assess their own strengths and weaknesses or those of their enemies.
It's a historical weakness of the whole ideology. It's baked in. "Our enemies are both powerful and weak" turns out that's a bad mindset if you want to know... anything about your opponents.
From what I understand a good chunk of the current “Ukrainian” forces are mercs and volunteers from places like Poland. Wouldn’t surprise me if their mentality is, we can just pay whomever to go fight there indefinitely, with the pretense of it being a Ukrainian army a pure fig leaf.
I’m amazed that polish mercs would fight for a banderite regime. Some of the more brutal mass killings in Poland were done by Ukrainians
Mercs will work for whomever is paying, and Poland has its own Fash problem. But also, the 80 some odd years of history since Bandera can’t be discounted in the Polish mindset.
There is nobody who hates Russians more than the Poles, except maybe the Finns. Banderites or not, I think just the baked in pure bloodlust Poles have against Russians has them willing to fight
Russophobia is the absolute foundation and cornerstone of current Polish state (with anticommunism and antisemitism being welded to it permanently, you can treat it as local variant of judeobolshevism)
Mercs tend to want to have at least a semi-decent chance of living to spend their paychecks, so IDK how long this strat is going to workout.
Yeah most of the mercs who were sent to the frontlines and not put in “special forces” strike teams have long since bailed or died
A bunch of
dipshits were telling me that there's no way to deal with the greying population crisis because it's actually impossible to build robots and automate large sectors of industry to free people up to care for the elderly.Meanwhile, in China, which somehow manages to build infrastructure even though investing capital in infrastructure and projects with a high up front cost is impossible...
