Or, when are you Germans going to realize that the other western countries mean you no good?

    Russia managed to play this brilliantly in my opinion. They kept ratcheting up pressure slowly and methodically which resulted in the west providing a slow dribble of their military assets to Ukraine over a period of a year. This is slowly demilitarizing NATO given that the west lacks industrial capacity to replace what they’re sending without making any significant impact on the war. If NATO went all in from the start that could’ve been a real problem from Russia, but instead NATO got sucked into a war of attrition that it’s now losing.

        And they are already whining that they can’t produce that much missiles since Ukraine is using them too much and that USA’s stockpile will be crippled this year lol

          Somehow the mental image of Ukraine doing what it does best, being an hyperactive child that just sees the pile of sweets, and US being the exhausted parent trying to teach that child that money doesn’t grow on trees is very funny.
