@Noahpinion Stupid warmonger. If EU wants direct war with Russia, it will more likely be nuked in the end. Drones don’t matter that much. The best for EU is to prevent war and not start or join a war. WWI and WWII were not that far away for Europe. WWIII probably means everyone will die.

@Noahpinion I have always argued that China is trying to destroy western industries like we did to Nazi Germany. With the obvious difference that the US bombed German factories out of existence. While China uses various economic attacks.

@Noahpinion I will, once again, ask what no one has answered for three years: How can Russia "win" a war against Poland, Germany, Belgium, and France when it can't win one against Ukraine?

Europe is a prime customer. Russia is a vassal state supplying oil and minerals. Yes, China could trigger a catastrophic collapse of Europe, but it wouldn't be in their economic interest. OTOH, they also don't want the chaos next door that would result if Russia collapsed so they dribble out supplies to both sides (and extract profits)

@chenweihua @Noahpinion Remember .. It was Russia that started the Ukraine War due to their unbridled, thirsty need to be imperialistic!!

@Noahpinion Why would China cut exports? You say random things like if China thinks the world is a game and nothing has consequences. That's not how it works.

@Noahpinion Simply by existing Europe can block all Russian shipping from the Baltic and Black Sea

Russia would have to invade all the way to Greece and Denmark to break out

@Noahpinion This is a vulnerability, but it puts the cart before the horse. There's plenty of opportunities for Europe to hit Russia directly. You can shut down the shadow fleet in the Baltic, you can stop transshipment of goods, you can stop Russian tourism to the EU. I'd start there...

@Noahpinion I think you are slightly overestimating the importance of drones

@MatthewMcCrac18 @Noahpinion And yet, Russia only controls 19% of Ukraine. That's not winning.

@Noahpinion boooo free trade is good

@AeccORG @Noahpinion Why would you put control in the hands of an external party?

@Noahpinion Is it mindboggling how we let the capitalist globalist pigs and the political elites completely dismantle Europe's and Americas industry. What were people thinking...?

@Noahpinion @grok in history did Europe invade Russia first or vice versa

@Noahpinion this is bollox. Ukraine was esestential Invading Europe would be economic suicide. Stop parroting the idea that Russia has ambitions on europe. Its allowing useless European leaders demonise Russia to cover up for the fact that we've lost our way on AI, Tech etc

@jondipietronh @Noahpinion Nobody has answered this question yet? Russia is defeating Poland, Germany, Belgium, and France in Ukraine. They are winning by destroying NATO weapons stockpiles in Ukraine. How has NATO done in their wars? Not impressive.

@MatthewMcCrac18 @Noahpinion Yes, certainly. If Russia fired Zircons at Europe, then Europe absolutely would become very committed.

This is the classic mistake every nationalist makes. They assume every country except their own is only interested in money, and therefore won't want to fight.

@psitako @Noahpinion Of course it's not ideal and something to consider but this is not a realistic scenario at this stage

Invasions have gone both ways over centuries with no clear "first." European forces invaded Russia in Napoleon's 1812 campaign and Hitler's 1941 Operation Barbarossa. Russia invaded Poland in 1939, fought the Winter War against Finland, occupied Eastern Europe postwar, and launched the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Why does Russia need to control more than 19% of Ukraine in order to destroy NATO weapons?

The winner in of this prolonged war between NATO and Russia is based on which side has the strongest industrial base.

A country must either have the manufacturing capacity to build massive quantities of ammunition or have other manufacturing industries that can be rapidly converted to ammunition production.

The West no longer seems to have either. Russia is winning.
