Simple solution, is to shot down those Globemasters once they enter Ukrainian airspace.
Give a warning to the world community, and if they dare challenge you, go through with it to show you mean business.
NATO plays dirty, Why should Russia tolerate & be passive to losing warships like the Moscow and let the English do as they please.
Or just let the DPR or LPR carry out the deed, and return the favor to the USA, the same way NATO does through the AFU.
They don’t enter Uke airspace.
Wow. 36,000 rounds of artillery? Russia firing 50,000 rounds every single day. Good luck with that!
no they fire less then 1000 i think they have fired less then 200,000 since febuary 24t
Ukraine is one of the world’s most corrupt countries. That gives a lot of inside as to why they haven’t achieved much during this whole war so far. The other point is with all of West’s support…Russia isn’t even using its main force.
I said this before, for the last 8 years Russia make sure the West’s sanctions would become a joke. The more the West uses sanctions as war tool the more useless it would become and it is just a fact… for years Zion and Yanuqis said Iran was done for and bla bla bla. And just look at Russia…
16 May 2022 “EU gives companies green light to buy gas from Russia”;
European companies are starting to move ahead to comply with Russian demands and keep the gas flowing.
“Russian Federation is the top country by wheat exports quantity in the world. As of 2020, wheat exports quantity in Russian Federation was 38,500 thousand tonnes that accounts for 22.53% of the world’s wheat exports quantity.”
Ukraine also sells a good amount of wheat as well btw (*5th place is Ukraine).
Russia has what is most likely the strongest military on the planet right now. The sooner Putin realizes that war is inevitable the better. Russia’s patience looks like weakness. It encourages Russia’s enemies. Russia isn’t learning from it’s mistakes. Instead of bombing Ukraine into submission and installing a Russia-friendly leader, they did nothing for 6 years while NATO trained and armed the Ukrainian fighters. They are making the same mistake again by giving NATO time and excuses to strengthen their positions, and better prepare for the coming war. Why would you sit around while your enemy prepares for battle?
moron amerikant—nazis and Napoleon demolished by Russia…never read sun tzu—u learn military strategy from your senile prez
And this “Strongest Military cant take Ukraine which the Germans took in 1942 (with HORSE DRAWN ARTILLERY) in less than 30 days
Change your psychiatrist or take your meds at the right time.
lol, 90% of the total has been acquired by russian soldiers on the battlefiled.
All that kit, and It’ll do Ukraine no good as they are still losing.
What the “fixed price” of physical precious metal buys when the BOE/Federal Re$erve sets the price of it along with oil and gas that ends up destroying their own markets after 80 years of it!…
Some history lesson from the 9/11 LIE$ that unleashed hell on Iraq. I hope the Russian Federation “finally” realizes that it doesn’t have to take “$”hit the same way that Iraq did (https://philebersole.wordpress.com/2011/06/14/the-largest-theft-of-funds-in-national-history/) (https://metallicman.com/tag/pallet/) ANYMORE!
And unlike Iraq… Here’s two reason “why” they never have to (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-28_Sarmat) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSM-56_Bulava)!
To Destiny!
maybe they think ukrainian independence is important…
what “independence”?
MEATGRINDER POLITICS
As long as the weapons keep coming, Nazis will be feeding the meat 🍖 grinder.
I can’t think of a less efficient place to sent over 2 billion dollars of military hardware a month than Ukraine. Ukraine is probably getting double or triple that under the table.
I’m thinking it’s not even close to enough considering the kill and destruction numbers for air, artilary and precision missle strikes on a weekly basis.
The worst part is what will come after. It’s very hard to rebuild a country with deads and crippled boys. Artillery is a hell of a weapon, if it didn’t kill you on the spot , half of the wounded would ended up mutilated. Just let that sink…
The total send, by the US only, nears 6 Billions already. Add UK, EU and all the other bots … it’s kind of expensive to ruin so much lives.
Approximately $ 400 billion in military equipment has been destroyed by Russia, excluding munitions. For this sum the Ukraine could have been rebuilt with modern infrastructure. This war has been a terrible waste of resources. NATO had no money to help Ukraine before, despite the obvious need. Now that they want to harm Russia money is no object. This is obscene. Every dollar sent to the Ukraine is being borrowed and the taxpayers of the West will be paying back to greedy bankers with interest. No more war. The people of the West need to bring their zionist fascist masonic governments to heal before they end up like the Ukraine, used and abused.
Waste of resources, agreed. West is being led by idiotss who will blow the world to hades. Stand by for mass death and starvation, tragic
Russia’s “unprovoked invasion”, are you serious or being facetious?
our weapons junk—we mainly only send used dildos to ukraine
I coined something that I call the “Rittenhouse Mechanism”. And I guess that Putin could use it in the case of feeling threaten. And I don’t blame him, like I didn’t blame Kyle. If your life is in danger you have to defend yourself, right? So as long as the thugs were only punching Kyle and verbally abusing him, everything was fine. But from the moment the guy tried to harm him in a way that he felt his INTEGRITY and life in danger, he reacted in a way that caused a big tragedy. Animal instinct.
And the same will be with Putin, as long as NATO is just sending lethal heavy weapons and money/sanctions to Ukraine, verbally abusing him, he is fine with that. But from the minute these heavy weapons and money start to seriously put a threat on him, he could use the “Rittenhouse Mechanism” to defend his life and the INTEGRITY of his people. This is his right as a leader. He could use it in form of a preemptive hypersonic nuke strike on all NATO bases (there is no defense system capable of intercept, let alone destroy these kind of nukes), and don’t come with BS like “Russia has just a few dozen of it”, the same stupid people who back in March said “Putins missiles are running out in few weeks”. The strike on NATO decision centers will cause a big tragedy, yes, but in his point of view is self-defense.
The Rittenhouse Mechanism, coined by Max Schmidt. Have a nice day.
Tragedy? He should have gunned them all down. Everyone of them deserve to die.
And this “mechanism” had it been applied Rittenhouse would have stayed AT HOME with MOMMY. But Americans are obsessed with OCCULTISM. Think about it people who are sick GO TO DOCTORS …………………..NOT GUN STORES !!!
I can buy gas for roubles —nobody want dollars except senile jens
Russia is not invading Ukraine, I can’t understand why SF is putting that disinformation in its publication.
This is a Special Operation by Russia to end the ethnic clensing of Russians in the Donbass plus other areas not yet announced by Russia that may need to be included in the break away Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk that is if the conflict continues due to other Russian demands not being met by Zalensky the jew pig, these other demands include de-nazification of Ukraine and neutrality of Ukraine.
There are just 2 explanations for this anti-Russia wording of the article: #1 SF is compromised. Or, the #2 the person who uploaded the article just took it from an American source and ‘copied and paste’ it without changing anything.
And I can aLmost guarantee you 1/3 to 1/2 of those weapons mentioned are on the black market. Why else would Bidet create a new federal agency just to track those weapons provided to the Ukraine. Stupid is as stupid does.
The good news is of course that most of this USSAN sub standard junk will be destroyed before the Ukrop naZis ever get to do a EweTueb “unboxing”.. (that “safe” space where the sheeple bleat) ..the rest will be sold by deserting Ukrop canon fodder and will eventually be turned on snaggle-toothed Natostan canon fodder should their angloZionaZi owners ever be dumb enough to personally try and take on Mr Bear.
To Odessa please and evaporate Arestobitch already.

I explained to Tommy in our fellatio training therapy that Russia now sells more fertilizer to Russia than all nations and they don’t want his shit…he began to cry when he learned that Russia discovered new gigantic oil field in arctic. I explained that this would reduce cost for lube when trannys sodomized him.
he became less depressed …we are making progress
“Unprovoked attack” says the article. So apparently 8 years of shelling in the Donbass and the deaths of about 14,000 Russian Ukrainians does not qualify as provoked. I’ll give you real Unprovoked- US in Iraq, US in Libya, US in Syria, US/NATO in Serbia…… only can Afghanistan can the US attack be called provoked. And even that surely merits 20 years of war until America had its arse (or ass) handed to it by a crowd of goat herders.
The US government sure is good at wasting it’s citizens money.
