"As far as arms and ammunition the EU, US and Canada have more than 50x the production capacity of Russia."

No they don't.

Ukraine and the West are facing a shortage on the battlefield.
They can't match Russia.
(And this is an actual shortage, not like the pretend one you attribute to Russia)
And you'll see soon enough.
US and UK can't even send their tanks without telling Ukraine to keep them out of harms way because they don't want them captured and studied by Russia, who has already obtained HIMARS tank shells.
Send your tanks, and Russia will capture the tech.
Russia will take it and share it with the Chinese and all your tanks are going to get burned anyway.
They scream for tanks and F16's but who will operate them, it takes months to train tank crews and pilots on new systems.

Oh, and by the way Sholtz went to Argentina to get tank shells for the Leopards 2 and was sent packing there as well.
So much for whatever you said, again.
Brazil and Argentina are forming a common currency (probably with BRICS) which can only really exist with Russia.

Everyone is ditching the dollar, the US is not going to be able to fund its debts.

Do you actually watch the videos I post or are do you already believe you know it all and needn't bother?

China, India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Turkey, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Vietnam etc.

They're all turning against the West.
They're forming an anti West block.
And that's what you get when you rule the world with threats, blackmail, regime change and military intervention.
- The people you screw over make friends with each other, and when you screw everyone over eventually you have no friends.
All China has to do is stop trade with UK and they will collapse.
And China hold a trillion in US debt which it's dumping.

"The UAF are being asked to learn and train on potentially a dozen or more types of IFVs and multiple tank variants, being required to deal with the maintenance challenges, fuel requirements, different ammunition and fire control systems – while fighting daily for their lives. It is very unlikely that in mere months from now the Ukrainian army – or even a Western army for that matter – will be able to fall in on a hodge podge of equipment it has never seen and had limited training, for which it has no existing system of logistics or maintenance, and launch an effective large-scale and successful counteroffensive against an entrenched enemy."

Hey Shadow Minister

150k Ukrainians dead + 25K Russians dead +
x 3 for casualties = 500k KIA and wounded

All to prevent Donbass from gaining autonomy?
Just to stop them from the right to self determination?
Do you actually think this is what it's all about?

What do you think one of the main objectives of the 2014 coup was?
Why do you think the West went bat shite crazy about Russia taking Crimea?

Crimea WAS THE PRIZE the West thought they'd gained, but lost.
The West was going to turn the Russian Naval base in Sevestapol into a NATO base, and take control of the Black Sea.

- After the Maidan, Putin beat them to it -

With 150K dead Ukrainians, and the country largely destroyed,
Do you really think this was about the West defending Ukrainians best interests?

AC,

Russia is running out of ammunition, so its firing rate has dropped by 75%. The US and EU have not started producing tank ammunition and when tooled up can produce vast quantities. Russia's industrial base has been mostly focused on oil and gas and its arms industry is small.

The builder of the leopard 2 can produce 240 000 120mm tank shells a year or 20 000 per month. The production capacity of the US is higher and US stockpiles are massive. In addition, Ukraine is getting ammunition from more than a dozen EU countries. The 321 tanks coming to Ukraine will appear on the battlefield in a few months.

The decision is being made to supply long-range HIMARS missiles and F16 and A10 aircraft whereas Russia has lost 13 aircraft/helicopters in the last week that it cannot replace.

AC

Why do you keep posting absolute sh1te? If Russia had so few casualties then why mobilize 320 000 men and 40 000 prisoners for cannon fodder? And why is Russia still mobilizing men?

Why does Russia have anti-retreat firing squads if their troops are doing so well?
