Russia's war effort stalls as the Red Army can't get replacement weapons or spares for their crippled convoys... because they're all made in Ukraine.

"Given Russia's reliance on Ukraine for military components, UK defence sources say Russia's war effort is in serious trouble.

"Last night a source said: 'Serious amounts of components for Russian weapons systems were made there [Ukraine]. That won't be happening any more.

"'Russia cannot manufacture this equipment itself or import it, so it won't be getting any of these materials any time soon. The hardware expended in Ukraine came from historic stockpiles, developed when there was greater cooperation between Russia and Ukraine.

"'The integration of their industrial complexes meant a severing of relations would jeopardise Russia's ability to sustain military operations. Now they're running out.'

"In the Soviet Union era, Ukraine produced 30 per cent of the Union's weaponry and military equipment. ..."

Even still, the United States and the rest of NATO nations are afraid to engage with the Red Army. Instead opting to use cowardly sanctions and use Ukrainian citizens as proxies of war. Cowardly Ukrainian soldiers hiding on the mist of citizens, falsely marking buildings as "children" sanctuaries, and refusing to go into Mariupol where 400,000 people are starving and freezing. The world sees the true cowards here, the United States. All you have is talk. Putin isn't talking or listening.

@RocktheHouse No one is buying your Russian bullshit, comrade. Nice try though.

@windinhishair Why is NATO using Ukrainian citizens as proxies to fight this war? Facts, Ukrainian citizens are dying daily while NATO continue to pump weapons into the country. Old man, you're a coward and so is Biden. Western dominance is over. No more dialogue with you losers .

@RocktheHouse Russia is losing the war to Ukraine. Bigly. Watch your fellow citizens cowering behind Putin. Go back to Russia, and take your bullshit with you.

@windinhishair I'm an American citizen. Russia is losing? Time will tell! US is just upset it lost the war in Afghanistan after 20 years of failure. And the Taliban was far less advanced militarily.

@RocktheHouse Sure, comrade, sure. An American citizen supporting Russia in the genocide of Ukrainians. How long have you been a Republican?

RocktheHouse · M

@windinhishair Republicans and democrats are pretty much the same when it comes to nationalism and foreign policy. The same hostile Russia foreign policy has been in place for decades.

Genocide? Lol. Ukrainians and Russians are virtually the same people. I bet you think Russia wants to occupy Ukraine also? Nevermind Putin said prior to this invasion, the primary objective is to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine as well as protect the Russian speakers in Donbass regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. Keep believing American propaganda if you want.

@RocktheHouse Excellent attempt to interject Russian talking points, but no one is buying your bullshit. Go tell your buddy Putin that he's misinformed and losing the war. It is obvious to anyone but him. Even you don't believe it, but you have to say it to get paid.

We're not "afraid" to engage the Red Army.

We're afraid that as we're kicking their ass, this will happen.

And that's supposed to mean anything? You'll still shilling for Putin. Trump at least can say he got four years in the White House for his trouble. You won't even get the Герой Российской Федерации medal for your troubles.

Oh, and by the way, Tokyo Rose was a U.S. citizen, too.
