Ammo:

Oleksandra Mamchii A faux diplomat with a degree, Ukr native, "youth activist", and basically a very young mouthpiece for the globalist crowd

Writes heavily for the site referenced, every single bit of it the CIA/NEOCON narrative.


Statista, claiming to be current stats*-

Key points: -From very early in 2023 -Much is estimated -NATO values include entire US military And -Key point is even then Russia was basically equal to all of NATO in ground forces and equipment.

Care to guess what has happened to much NATO equipment in the last year?

How about Ru production of mil?

Or Ru volunteer returning forces? Vs alllll of the West suffering mass cashing out and terrible recruiting figures while also strpngly pushing woke as mil priority and shoving out the trad pool of fighting forces.

I cannot imagine why we are laughing at this yahoo 💁😹💃💯🤦

When I'm looking at military numbers I kind of expect to find they've been compiled by, you know, military analysts. The first source provided from our new friend clearly is not a military analyst and I can't tell who compiled the second bit of data because they're not identified.

This is the utterly insane part to me. Did no one realize this would be a bad idea while we're fighting a proxy war in Ukraine and lighting fires in multiple other places that boots on the ground may ultimately have to put out?

The people in charge have been sniffing their own effluvium for too long, it's addled their brains.
