Russia - threadbanned users in OP

But all of them will require maintenance (you call them being broken).

You started your argument about 1/3 of western supplied artillery being broken and being an issue for the Pentagon. That's still going to be the case with F16's etc.... Infact I think combat ready airframes in NATO run at just under 50%, so worse than the 66% with the artillery (and again, maintenance, not broken stuff)

Your second point I pretty much agree with.

I've been calling for western AA since the start. No worry about them being driven across the border into Russia like NATO's worry with western tanks (despite western self propelled artillery that has been supplied being able to do the same)

Modern fighters, could have had Ukrainian pilots and ground crew training all this time. Ultimately Ukraine will end up with NATO supplied tanks and planes when the ear is over as they won't be using Russia for a supplier.

I think the Abrams maybe a little tricky logistically for Ukraine, but challenger and leopards would do. Hell the US have a stockpile of Bradley's they could supply Ukraine. Again, like self propelled artillery, it's not a tank, it's an infantry vehicle.

I've a feeling it's kinda the slow boiled frog approach, keep upping the equipment little by little to not provoke Russia. I think after all the war crimes committed, it's only Russia escalating it.

Why answer, it's similar bait all the time?

This is doubly amusing because in the previous tweet, you had...

"Buy Russian goods," Putin said into the microphone of the German company Bosch."

No worries there, Vlad, we intend to.

Personally I'm keeping my powder dry for Vlads very own yacht Scheherazade to be put up for auction, before making a bid.

Yes, it's evident in the way the country has stagnated or even gone backwards in the last two decades. Putin has done Sweet FA to improve the lot of the Russian population - but they are so brainwashed by state propaganda that rebelling against the regime is out of the question. There's more than a touch of Orwell's '1984' about it all. Most of Russia eking out a miserable existence, but state TV assuring the serfs every night that they live in the best country on the planet and are so lucky to have Putin as leader.

Yes - can we please do the same thing here. Oh sorry, I forgot Irish politicians don't have any balls, just oddly named bank accounts in the Cayman islands for accepting lifestyle donations from the Orcs, like two MEPs I probably can't mention.

Putrid did manage to hang onto $100 billion for personal uses, hence him having three luxury yachts and Switzerland in his coat pocket, where all of his 3 most recent oorclings were born. Very accommodating the Swiss. Nothing quite conveys a sense of how great you think your kleptocratic empire is than giving your kids Swiss passports on their 0 birthday.

Coming from the same career background, and indeed having worked in some of the same country's Mr. Buffet worked in and under the same or similar circumstances, I'd be 100% in agreement with him. Instead of the long-drawn-out agony ongoing presently. the West / US / UK need to up their game and supply the weapons needed to enable to Ukraine to finish off the Russians as quickly as possible. The sooner Russia departs Ukraine, and the war ends, the better.

I remember one where they went to some backwater village (but not that far from Moscow), asking people what they thought of the government. Someone answered along the lines of "they're great, we've got great infrastructure", and then the cameraman pointed the camera towards the dirt road which was full of potholes.

Hopefully there were no survivors, well done!

I think that a personal wealth of 100 billion would be a bit on the low side, and I'm no expert on Swiss citizenship, but I don't think that children of non-nationals have an automatic right to citizenship. Open to correction on that though. Even marrying a Swiss national is no guarantee of citizenship, and if you do get it, there is a long wait between applying and actually getting it.

I noticed they never show female casualties. Maybe this is why-

Maybe-

Putin fell down stairs, soiled himself amid health woes: report (msn.com)

Alright, so this happened…

…but then this also happened, earlier-

I am shocked, I tell you, shocked!😏

You are right, they don't, but:

Not only were all of Putins recent brood of kids by Kabaeva born in Switzeraland, the two were married there. This here claims Alina has Swiss citizenship:

If you told me Putin had Swiss Citizenship, I wouldn't be surprised. Many of the sanctioned Orcs have Swiss citizenship, FFS. That place a is a reeking cesspit when it comes to morals.

Maybe the loose bum is indicative of colon cancer, as has been suggested?
