Russia is seizing hundreds of commercial jets owned by US and European leasing companies, a further sign of the challenges the country's airline industry faces due to sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine.
Looting grocery stores because your expired rations ran out does not speak to an effective supply chain.
Making stuff up is not a convncing form of argument.
It’s an interconnected global economy, which makes your claims of Russia being able to be cut off from the society of nations hilarious. Even the US would struggle with that, today.
Can you explain what Russia has actually been cut off from again?
The US had air superiority in the first day or two of that war.
Russia had air superiority in the first day of the war. Why do you think Ukraine keeps asking NATO for a no fly zone again?
Russia’s aging and ill-supplied military is going to progress even slower against more modern weapons and better intelligence.
You understand that Russia is one of the top military manufacturers in the world that sells weapons across the globe yes? Given that, how do you come to the insane conclusion that Russia is running out of supplies for its own military?
While having their economy ground down, something the US didn’t have to deal with then.
Russia supplies the world with a flood of simple to maintain rifles, sure. Older Soviet gear is always on sale, too, just like anything that wasn’t nailed down from that era. But night vision gear on Russian tanks is French. Russia just isn’t the high tech wonderland you imagine. You’re being thick headed insisting that any single country is self-sufficient.
Also, you what happened to the great Soviet stockpiles of nuclear weapons? They were sold to the American nuclear energy industry to power homes and televisions. The ultimate triumph of capitalism.
I love how I literally linked you an article showing what Russia actually supplies, and you continue to spread misinformation in the reply. It’s just phenomenal to see to be honest.
I also love how you imagine that Russia isn’t able to continue innovating and manufacturing things after USSR. All the same scientists, engineers, workers, and factories are still there, but somehow magically they stopped being able to make new things.
Russia just isn’t the high tech wonderland you imagine.

Russia has over 6,000 nukes, but whatever you say.

When you’re completely divorced from reality then sure.

Why don’t we take a look at what people who actually know what they’re talking about have to say about this https://www.chathamhouse.org/2021/09/advanced-military-technology-russia
Russia produces all of its necessities domestically, that’s a fact. Meanwhile, anything it can’t produce it gets from China https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1569862/putin-xi-russia-china-partners-sanctions-ukraine-gas-usa
Russia has over 6,000 nukes, but whatever you say.
Seeing dilapidated the state of it’s air force, navy, and military the claim of 6000 working nukes is absolutely preposterous. I cry bullshit.
When we substitute seeing for imagining and your comment starts to make sense.
