More than replaced already.

Could you provide links and basis for your posts instead of baseless dribble that have nothing to do with state of the military and logistics?

“Russia has 4 times population, can lose millions soldiers”
Or
“Russia manufacters faster, everything is replaced”

You always increase your reserves for the Winter, but agree It is/was/will be costly, that is why the increased price is reflected in inflation. Buying Gas now( all of Europe is doing this ) is mostly caused by Gazprom is not seen a serious business partner anymore, so you have to prepare yourself. The Gas price will stabilize, it`s not a unique commodity in the market, just setting the logistics takes time.

LNG is much more expensive than pipeline gas,EU industry will be heavily damaged and could be easily replaced by industrial products import from china. The import from china to EU just jumped more than 20% while export to china declined.

Because not everyone is dumb enough to not only believe the official propaganda narrative. But combine it with olympic level mental gymsnastics to get around the humiliation that was the collapse of the afghan government with american troops running away with chopper convoys vietnam style.

Some people saw that the americans were trying to build a base around a pro-washington puppet government. Whereby the US would have a very strategic footing right in the middle of Russia, China and Iran. This was the necocon goal of 20 years of "nation building" They werent doing it because their hearts just bled for the poor afghan girl the evil taliban put a burqa on....get your head out of your *** (MSM propaganda) already

When i say “nation building in pro western democracy” ofcourse that includes it being in american bloc and with us bases.

This however was not the initial war goal.
And again. Never losing a military engagement, yet simply stop handholding ANA is hardly a “humiliation” of the military/military might.
More so of the political planners.


Ffs ANA had more military material and support then the ukranian army….they folded in a week.

Sure, it`s more expensive, but the EU industry is going to be heavily damaged ? You overestimate the impact of basic resources in the whole value chain, the size of the internal market and the human capital factor is what matters. If you produce high quality/innovative/unique products, then the prices does not matter so much, look at Switzerland as an example.

The imports to the EU from China increased in 2021 very much, imports as well...

Significant increase in EU imports from China

Trade with China, the EU’s third-largest export destination and the largest import partner, has increased significantly in 2021. The COVID-19 crisis caused both exports and imports between the EU and China to slow down in the first months of 2020, but both quickly recovered over the following...

Due to the COVID ups/dows your 20% could make sense.

Lately the PR of China/Chinease Products is the EU are not getting any better due to the open support of Russia.

For scale the PL-DE Trade is about 150B Euro / year. Poland has 38M People.
RU-DE Trade is 60B Euro / year. Russia has 145 M People and is the biggest country in the world. We often make have fun of Russia in PL, because of... Facts.

I blame it on Gazprom. They stoped the Gas supplies, breaking a long term contract. I don`t care if the USD, EUR is useless for them, it`s their Problem. Gas is not a unique commodity and Gazprom is not the only supplier.

Typical rude attitude of "I can hit you but you cannot hit back".

Rude ? It`s Business. The contract was in USD, so I pay in USD. Gazprom wanted to change the way the payments is done. It`s exactly the same case if the Polish side would suddenly like to pay half of the price.

Tanks aren't useful in modern warfare. Too heavy, cumbersome, consume too much fuel, takes too long to manufacture. The US hasn't built a single Abrams tank since the 90s. Lighter combat vehicles like BMD-4M make much better sense and can be used as tank destroyers armed with anti tank missiles.

Well, don't blame on Gazprom. It is EU that has demonstrated not to be a serious business partner. Gazprom didn't start the war but EU initiated the sanction that renders Euro to be useless to Gazprom.

Gazprom deliberately delayed resupplies even before the war, causing several countries to have extremely low reserves.

This was all part of the plan in line with the later invasion of Ukraine ofcourse.
And now they single handedly changed contracts and breach contracts.

Russia can never be trusted on this again.

War is not cheap for Russia either.

War isnt cheap, period but go on.

It costs Russia huge sum,

what is "huge sum"?? Afterall Russia has local economies of scale from domestic production and equipment maufacturing, so its costs will always be loser than US for eg.

more than Ukraine.

Even after Ukraine has lost over 20% of their country FOREVER? u have simple understanding of the word "cost"

Per western estimates the war costs Russia about one billion USD per day.

So you just buy what westerners say as if u cant think for yourself? please provide proof, because RUssia is far from bankrupt, and the war is going on months now, so someone is lying, and ur involved with their propaganda now.

The sanctions already cost Russia one trillion USD.

based on whaat? what Westerners "estimate" AGAIIN? but its obv cost US as much ,because Biden is in US telling Americans Putin caused inflation, for a war US indirectly provoked. lmao.

But the worst is yet to come for Russia.

Russia or Ukraine? Cuz one of those 2 countries WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. which one do u think that is?
