That sounds like a lot of shyt. Not sure how much they spend on the military but it might take them awhile to replenish. They can't possibly be ready to touch another war anytime soon.
Russia inherited its massive stocks from the Soviet Union. However, a good part is not in good condition or well maintained obviously.

But on tanks alone (they supposedly have between 12k and 20k), they lost more than the entirety of France, UK, Germany and Polish stocks combined and it's said that it's only equal to 50% of its usable stock. What's left is likely old or low tier stuff though.

Considering how hawkish Putin and potential successors are, I wouldn't be so sure they won't go to war after (if they ever finish in Ukraine). There's not many things that they did in the past months that could be explained rationally at least from a Westerner POV.

How does a population come to just accept this or for it to become apparently state policy?

I hope I don't get accused of ethnocentrism but this seems inherently wrong.


It's the question, right? I certainly wonder how much they've been brainwashed to believe they're actually saving these kids, how many know it's wrong but just accept it's the best option in a bad time, how many oppose it but can't do anything about it, and how many just root for it out of evil motivations.

Another one "falls from a window" :mjlol:

"Open windows" is the #1 killer in Russia right now.


at this point she was asking for it, look at that big scantily clad window she has.

likely suffering from gravity deficiency

:mjlol:



My fault already posted



It really says, "A version of suicide.".

That sounds like a straight-up euphenism for, "Getting on Putin's baad side is suicidal.",
