Nonsense, you haven't even taken away your citizens healthcare yet!

They're working on it.

"Britain needs to focus on domestic issues because the NHS is falling apart," says senior military chief.

Yeah so turns out destroying your domestic military industry and outsourcing everything to America and Europe wasn't the brightest idea, huh?

Grant Schapps is now running the show, Ben Wallace stepped down. It was pretty inevitable this was coming. The Tories are always complaining about what they cannot afford, while splashing fortunes on mates. Wallace always understood what was important in the defence of the UK. He is probably the only Tory with credibility.

So I guess Russia is going to end up getting what it wants by bleeding all of the opposing countries out economically.

I'm just trying to figure out how Russia isn't running out of equipment. Everyone keeps saying they are yet they keep pushing and pushing, and they're clearly not stopping. 🤔

They're pulling older and older pieces of equipment out of storage, fixing it up, and sending it out.

They've given up trying to bombard Ukraine with naval assets, and surrendered the offshore oil platforms they were using as observation platforms.

They're flying fewer and fewer sorties, the ones they do fly typically lob missiles from beyond the border, and they're seeing mechanical failures because the few aircraft they do have are not being properly maintained.

The lack of equipment is definitely hurting them, make no mistake about that.

Unfortunately, they have no shortage of young men to send to their deaths.

Turns out, even three decades of corruption can't defeat Soviet-era planning policy
