Russia, on the other hand, effectively has to do everything themselves. Most of their allies don’t have anything made after 1990 to sell them.

​@@frankfahrenheit9537 Beware such economic comparisons. GDP at market exchange rates is good for judging an economy in some ways (its international financial heft, for instance, or the nature of its trade relationships) but is a distortion in all other ways. When judged by the purchasing power of the rouble domestically, Russia's economy is far larger. In 2021, viewed on this basis, it was about 5% smaller than Germany's, meaning close to $5trn, not $1.7trn. Neither GDP at market exchange rates (also called nominal GDP) nor GDP at PPP (purchasing power parity) tells the whole story. Looking at both is absolutely necessary. For a valid overall judgement you'd be a lot better off averaging the two than looking at only one. So my point is that, say what you will about Russia's economic weaknesses, it does indeed have a larger economy than Canada, Italy or Spain, three countries often invoked for comparison. Closer to Germany or Britain. It seems headed downwards in the near future, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

The US defense budget is larger than Russias economy. USA can develop advanced weapons without exports (like F22) and they can also mass produce more bleeding edge weapons such as the F35 than the rest of the world put together. Russia's underwhelming performance even compared to western systems from the 1980's shows that they have lagged behind for 4 decades. Their AKs work fine but their missiles etc are not competitive. The western hegemony remains strong, thankfully.

Keep dreaming, even better, go help. At the end russia always wins.

Russian weaponry and technology are considered outdated. The war in Ukraine provides ample evidence of this. It would be misguided, perhaps even foolish, to invest in Russian arms technology and weaponry. Not only would you likely waste your money, but you would also be at a disadvantage in any conflict due to the inferiority of Russian technology. Before Putin's invasion of Ukraine, a Cold War-era myth persisted that the Russian arms industry was among the best. This misconception enabled Russia to continually sell weapons to economically challenged countries like India and China. Regrettably, this has largely been due to the actions of an obtuse politician, Putin, who has done significant damage to Russia. Conversely, the war in Ukraine stands as a testament to the reliability of Western technology. In a sense, Putin has inadvertently aided America and the West in reinforcing their positions as hegemonic powers.

Let's pick your nonsense apart: Russian technology considered 'outdated'? By who?! 'Russian arms technology'..wot you mean like hypersonics with no analogues anywhere? 'Obtuse politician'? This term demands a definition as 'obtuse' Western politicians continually make obtuse statements..like 'Russia needs to remove its forces from Vorozneh and Belgorod', or 'Russia will exhaust its missile stocks by...' Anyone who has used Russian hardware knows it is qualitatively better than its Western equivalent. Leo 2's in Syria for example, performed far worse than T90M, or is that a post Cold War 'myth' too? There's a reason Americans and Germans don't want their kit anywhere near Ukraine: anything they put there will get shown up..very simple. Now America is trying to force Turkey to hand to Ukraine its S400's..evennthough it failed to deliver its F35's (which are operationally useless). I think you earn your wad working for Western Armaments manufacturers and you're being overpaid.

Russia has oil and super-rich farmland and the 'sanctions' (that no one is following) have only made them more self sufficient. WHEN China invades Taiwan all Nato funding of Ukraine will pretty much dry up, and the US will certainly stop sending weapons and amunitions altogether, then what? Does Zelensky pour another 300,000 young men into a meat grinder to die to try to take land that has alwasy been ethnic Russian that's occupied by 90% ethnci Russians who don't want to be part of Ukraine? And don't forget, the Russian doctrine towards Nucler weapons is not the same as ours, if they had to I firmly believe they will lunch a couple of tactical nukes, not agaisnt a city, but maybe agisnt an army group, they could easily decimate several brigades which would effectivly destroy Ukraines ability to fight back at all, and what are we going to do, Nuke Russia?

@@acidbot666 The Kremlin tells Russians it is fighting the World, but in fact it is just fighting the soldiers of a much smaller country. Even with the help of Syrian troops and international mercenaries Russia still can’t beat the Ukrainian armed forces. The latest Russian offensive gained 0.01% of Ukraine for the loss of three times the total Russian deaths in Afghanistan. Ukraine is already taking back territory and the counter offensive hasn’t started yet.

I don't want to claim that Russia has too few, old and bad weapons. It is more due to the massive support from the West.🙈 The Americans are the world's largest arms producer and number one warmonger. Even in the era of peace, more is produced there than in other countries at war. The Russians don't even come close to having the necessary capacities. So even the Russian knows not to mess with NATO. But Russia's strategy, is much simpler: "Come on, attackers, and we'll blast you and your brood off the ground." This is how nuclear deterrence works (and this is what our future will look like when the first NATO soldier sets foot in Russia). I hope that Ukraine will become neutral as soon as possible, even if many see it differently. But only then the war will stop.

RU is synonymous with losing

theyve been known for invading neighbors for decades, taking others' land is what they have been good at for even over a century, but that all ends with this conflict. Ukraine will continue to stay sovereign, they will be able to choose their friends, if that means no longer doing as much commerce with russia then that's the Ukrainians' prerogative. Anyway, it will be much better for Ukraine to be friendlier with the EU and Western countries rather than with russia's ranking of 65th out of 171 developed countries - HECK even Ukraine ranked 55th before the war, they were ranked higher than the sh hole russia stands to be.

Now that this has gone on for over a year, I'm starting to see the ironic nature of power in Russia. To a lot of people, the worst person to wage and conduct a war would be a career spy and politician. To many people, the ideal person(s) would be professional military officers and strategists. The irony here is that the professional military in Russia is ruled by a career spy and politician. Putin is a very intelligent man, but as a military strategist, he fails the basic tests of competence. He's certainly ignorant of the classic Asian military strategies of Sun Tzu, Mao Tse Tung, and Vo Nguyen Giap. Similarly, he seems ignorant of the classic Western military strategists like Clausewitz, Napoleon, Sherman, Grant, Rommel, Montgomery, Patton, and Eisenhower. But, most shockingly he doesn't even seem to draw from the best parts of Zhukov or Chuikov! These strategists had a deeper understanding of the aspects of politics, diplomacy, economics, supply, training, logistics, civil-military relations, occupation, and morale. I doubt a military coup could happen in today's Russia, but I am quite sure that the thought of it has probably crossed the minds of many in the professional military.
