Russia could start a major war in Europe within 5 years, Danish intelligence warns – POLITICO
-
I want to believe putin would find it difficult to maintain a war time economy without a war going on.
-
Russia can't produce tanks. They can only refit soviet era stocks and build a few ifvs.
There are almost no soviet era stocks left. They are using ~~late ww2 era tractors ~~civillian carschinese golf cartsdirt bikese scootersmules for gods sake. They are producing vast amounts of drones though and are one of two countries in the world experienced in drone warfare. -
People die but remain missing = no costs
They finance most of the equipment etc. themselves.
Laws are already being changed in the direction of forced child labor and I wouldn't be surprised if Putin brings forced rape into play if necessary.
So losses are manageable even with the junk equipment.Ukraine is acting democratically... even the current convocation will do if age limits have to be constantly adjusted. Equipment either from abroad or financed from abroad.
Losses are not bearableEurope, America and all democracies in the world
are sinking into unstable chaos due to Russia's propaganda machine. No more united action, etc. The majority of the population backing Russia is becoming an ever greater risk and the likelihood of civil war is increasing.Etc.
So people who don't take this seriously, make fun of Russia, etc. have absolutely not grasped the seriousness of the situation. There are several ways of waging war... even without actively intervening in the events themselves.

correction, they made ORDERS for equipment. The vast majority of which has not been delivered
largely from the same foreign arms mannufacturers, who if they decided to reneg on the deal (USA), or found themselves in a war of their own and had their factories diverted to domestic use (South Korea), they wouldnt have a card to play

What? I'm confused what you mean when you say back door.
-
When Russia looks towards the west, China looks towards the North.
They would love to get some of that land.
-
Got you yeah that makes sense
-
bold of them to say it's within 5 years. probably more like 6 months.
-
With what resources are they gonna do that with?
-
True.
-
Good thing no one cares about liberal opinion
-
That's rich coming from the echo chamber
-
No they didn't, Russia was abiding by them.
-
Wrong.
