      He says in defence of the country which formerly proclaimed to have the second best army in the world, but also

      • struggles to complete its three day adventure in Ukraine for more than two years now,
      • has to hide its navy,
      • lost most of its active aviation, tanks and APCs, and
      • (my personal favourite) has to resort sending troops into battle in Chinese golf carts as transport options seem to run.

      But the West is a laughing stock.

      Dang. Can I get some of the shit you are on?

          Technically the drones are a naval force. Just a very cheap and surprisingly effective one.

          Russia’s naval force has been a bit of paper tiger for a while now. Some of their warships practically run on coal.

      The amount of next level bending over Putin have been forced to do for Xi the last two years… and just to destabilize the world… Oh my. The pricetag on that one…

      Long after the situation is stabilized, Russia will still be paying to China for the help they got.
