I see that irony is not your forte. I’m trying to tell you that the US cannot get away with the “air superiority” tactics they did in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc because countries like Russia and China have a lot of air defenses and their own air forces. Do you get it now?
This is an idiotic argument. Ukraine has one third of all western AD in Europe and it is still unable to fully defend against Russian drones and missiles. Smaller, lower flying targets are harder to detect and hit than big manned jets. They are also more expendable so you can afford to use them more recklessly. Drones are regularly shot down in great numbers or brought down by EW, if this happened to manned aircraft it would be a disaster. If the US tried using its jets against any country with halfway decent AD its pilots who took years and billions of dollars to train would start dying like flies, not to mention aircraft being destroyed that is thousands of times more expensive than a drone, and there would be the mother of all scandals back home. The US has no capacity to absorb real losses, it’s why they only pick on the most defenseless countries and non-state actors.
Do you understand that the reason that the US is having its proxy war in Ukraine is that…
The containment strategy against Russia is failed and they decided to fight back, yes
we get to test all of our equipment for free
I wouldn’t call throwing EU economies into recession and disarming NATO “free” lol
So far we are not impressed by the fact that Russia’s top of the line gear is being smacked down by our shit from 1990.
You live in fantasy land, Ukraine is getting pounded by Russia, abandoned by America and you’re still high off the MSM farts with stories of pensioners downing jets with rifles and Russian generals dying every week
However, as Russia is finding out, Europe does not need Russian energy.
Europe is buying Russian gas and oil at a markup from third parties like India to evade sanctions, America is literally buying DIRECTLY from Russia, both at above the “market cap” they tried to set lol
Hey dipshit, did you read the link you posted? That’s the number I’m referencing. It claims that 1.107.480 out of 900.000 troops have been wounded, can you figure out how we know this is obvious bullshit? Hint: one of the numbers is a bit higher than the other.
Unfortunately, for Russians, there are a lot of men in Russia and the Russian leaders like to use meat grinder tactics.
But according to your link they’ve already run out of men. Also, the Russian ground forces are only about ~550.000 troops, you expect me to believe that an additional ~557.480 from the navy and air force were also injured? In a land war? IN A NAVY OF ~160.000 AND AN AIR FORCE OF ~165.000? THESE NUMBERS ARE LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE!

Good luck using the “new toys” without the munitions for them!
According to top US generals they’re actually stronger than before the war started, cope harder

America also pays billions for nuclear energy from Russia: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/14/climate/enriched-uranium-nuclear-russia-ohio.html

100% of the Russian armed forces is either dead or wounded? You can’t seriously believe these insane propaganda numbers LMFAO
Who’s fighting against the Ukrainian army? Ghosts? Zombies? Fucking clown.
