Nonsense, you haven’t even taken away your citizens healthcare yet!
“Britain needs to focus on domestic issues because the NHS is falling apart,” says senior military chief.
So I guess Russia is going to end up getting what it wants by bleeding all of the opposing countries out economically.
I’m just trying to figure out how Russia isn’t running out of equipment. Everyone keeps saying they are yet they keep pushing and pushing, and they’re clearly not stopping. 🤔
Turns out, even three decades of corruption can’t defeat Soviet-era planning policy
See, I am 100% on Ukraine’s side on this to the point where I think the U.S. should use nuclear weapons to defend it when we inevitably run out of shit. I think we should have put U.S. troops on the ground as soon as the trouble started and prevented all of this from happening in the first place.
That being said, evil actually does win most of the time in life. It’s why most people are evil – because it works.
So when I see this pattern of Ukrainian cities getting leveled and Russia seemingly never running out of troops or equipment, but now at least one Ukraine ally has, the writing on the wall looks pretty clear.
I am not advocating we pull out and let Ukraine get ass-plundered. I’m saying we should fight to the last but that Russia will probably win in the end. And that is sad.
You want to fight to the last… Ukrainian? How noble of you.
They’re pulling older and older pieces of equipment out of storage, fixing it up, and sending it out.
They’ve given up trying to bombard Ukraine with naval assets, and surrendered the offshore oil platforms they were using as observation platforms.
They’re flying fewer and fewer sorties, the ones they do fly typically lob missiles from beyond the border, and they’re seeing mechanical failures because the few aircraft they do have are not being properly maintained.
The lack of equipment is definitely hurting them, make no mistake about that.
Unfortunately, they have no shortage of young men to send to their deaths.

Gestures at Germany in May 2022 when they started to ramp up industry and allocating billions of funds for Ukraine to shop there because supplies from army stocks simply aren’t sustainable.
So what’s the actual problem? Did the UK do nothing in 1½ years but run on what they had lying around? Or are they just trying to prepare the narrative of how they can’t afford anything anymore for the next round of conservative™ destruction and decay in the name of saving money?
As this is from the Torygraph I assume the latter…
Yeah so turns out destroying your domestic military industry and outsourcing everything to America and Europe wasn’t the brightest idea, huh?

Grant Schapps is now running the show, Ben Wallace stepped down. It was pretty inevitable this was coming. The Tories are always complaining about what they cannot afford, while splashing fortunes on mates. Wallace always understood what was important in the defence of the UK. He is probably the only Tory with credibility.
