Something about the smug announcement of how efficient the proxy war is chills my blood. :doomer:

    all of NATO is out of ammo

    This line is such silly bullshit. We have some of the most advanced and efficient arms manufacturing industry in the world. To quote Khrushchev, we're turning out missiles like sausages.

    This is just some fucking assholes in media being fed pure propaganda. They're sitting at the firing range, watching a guy emptying his clip, and frantically reporting how we've run out of bullets.

      Damn I’ve been so owned all those official figures were meaningless

      Look up how many artillery shells are made a year, then how many are used daily, and get back to me

        We played this game in Iraq twenty years ago. The supply ramped to meet demand. Nobody in the green zone was running around empty handed.

          Comparing this to the Iraq occupation is utterly absurd.

          This war is far more intense than even Vietnam, which nearly destroyed the US empire.

          It is impossible to materialize the sort of resources necessary to fight this kind of war without moving to a war footing.
