The guy na correct script writer
E be like say na him write odyssey as Nolan intended 😂

The same people that believe it's impossible for Russia to run out of weapons now believe the US who is the number one weapon exporter (42 percent) in the world is short of certain defensive weapons 😂

The US currently dictates when the conflicts will resume and when it'll end.
Capitalism is really crazy, the MIC is going to continue to benefits from this conflict.
If you think Nathanyahu is bad, wait and see the next guy that takes over from him.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Ammunitions & weapons are not unlimited especially when you are fighting a formidable foe. Trump has begged for help from allied countries. He even relocated some defensive weaponry from Asia.
Same way with Russia, getting supplies from Iran or NK is not a bad idea.

One of the reason US is backing Ukraine is because they want to have stake in Ukrainian rare earth minerals which is the biggest in Europe. Weaponry are not falling from heaven like manner

usmanpogo:
Is Russia also running out of weapons ?
Russia getting weapons from NK doesn't mean they are low on weaponry. The MIC in Russia is firing on all cylinders.
And the country that holds the largest rare earth minerals reserve in Europe is probably Norway or Sweden.
No one said ammunitions are unlimited but for a country that's the major arms exporter, that's an overstretch.

The US government is not in charge of weapon production, they contract out private company who in turn make alot of money that is why you see that the cost of their weapons are highly expensive.

For sometime most their budget lately has not been focus on production of new system.

The war in Ukraine and Iran has dip their stockpile way below their strategic plan.

Why an adult will freely tell lies is one thing I can never comprehend. I never had any conversation with you or anyone about Rostov.

LordAdam16:
this is actually an affliction of western thought

westerners do not understand the concept of symbiotic, balanced relationships between two semi-equal powers
their viewpoint about relationships between states portend that balanced relationships are transient and that the natural state of such relationships is that one power eventually becomes subordinate to the other

you see this during the height of europe having multiple powers
there was never a sincere attempt to establish equilibrium
when they know they cannot take on a rival power, they establish a detente with the rival, then set on a complex plan to weaken the rival in some way
their tool of choice is stretching the rival in their periphery; boosting domestic agents of destabilization; backing whomever is against their rival in an ongoing conflict; cut off the rival from economic sustenance in some capacity or degrade its ability to sustain itself economically
they do this until they're finally able to cripple their rival to make them subservient or unequal in some way

thus, the western world can never have competing power bases as its natural, accept base state
when there is such a competition, it slowly devolves into a winner-takes-all confrontation that culminates in something like ww1, ww2

this is ultimately why they've never accepted russia as a co-equal partner
it has as much to do with russophobia
as it does with a pathological need to be the only captain in a ship
the only cook in a kitchen

---

they apply this geopolitical interpretation of stately affairs to the entire planet
whoever is not submissive to the hegemony is a rival that must be attacked in a combination of kinetic and non-kinetic ways until they become weak enough to be subservient
even if they have the most nuclear weapons in russia or they are a one-billion strong great civilization

the thinking is never, we can't take them on, one-on-one, so let's sue for generational peace and tranquility
no, it becomes if we can't take them head-on, then we have to snipe at them in every way we can to weaken them
death by a thousand cuts
separatist movements, terrorists, belligerent neighbors (ukraine, iraqi kurds), economic deprivation via sanctions, et cetera

and so they expect the moscow-beijing relationship to follow the same trajectory
they expect beijing to start out as a co-equal parter
and end up taking actions against russia that'd slowly strip russia of its independence, sovereignty, technical capacity, and more until russia becomes a captured chinese satellite state
just like the us has done to all the western great powers

if they were in china's shoes, that is exactly what they would do
so they're projecting

Never in my life have seen someone explain Western mentality as brilliantly as you've just done. I think you should consider opening a substack

🌎 Yemen says it has expanded its campaign against Saudi Arabia’s oil infrastructure in retaliation for Saudi drone operations inside Yemeni airspace.

Spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Yahya Saree:

“A number of sensitive targets and points related to the supply and transportation of crude oil from eastern Saudi Arabia to Yanbu were targeted by a number of drones.

This was in response to Saudi drones violating Yemeni airspace.”

Thanks for the bolded. These private defense companies want to make the biggest profits ever not minding threats to national security. Initially, the F-35 fighter jets were using 13hrs just for maintenance for every 2hrs flight/combat mission. America have the largest military aircraft in history yet they can't dominate Iraqi airspace? I no wan talk about Iranian airspace, dis one na no go area

LordAdam16:
there are multiple reasons why the hegemony's mic is inefficient

profit motive is only one facet

i think if you gave the f-35 development money to the south koreans, japanese, or germans
they would build a performant platform that does not need 13hrs of maintenance for every 2hrs of operation

the us gatekeeps a lot of the tech then forces the rest of their vassals to pony up for atrocious systems
