Not genocidal at all:
The guy is the Russian ambassador to Austria in case you wondered.
The answer is that this conflict is also a civil war between a majority that seek closer ties with the West and a significant minority that would rather be tethered to Mother Russia. It’s considered treasonous these days to frame the conflict as anything other than as a fight between “good and evil,” between authoritarianism and democracy.
In 1991 Iraq, USA has fired 60,000 rounds for the entire gulf war.
Russia fires this in one day.
The NATO industrial base is not capable of such production numbers.
Meanwhile in Russia: a revealing look at the way Russian pundits and experts talk about Ukrainians, describing them as primitive, but cunning and two-faced villagers, devoid of their own national identity, too ignorant to grasp the Russian imperial need for territorial expansion.
Remember when the Agitprop Dailies and Lloyd (triple masked) Austin were declaring they were going to send weapons to Ukraine to grind down the firepower of Russia?

Andrew Tate is the most Googled man in the world right now, it's no surprise they banned him from everywhere, because he drops straight talking truth bombs like this.
Jesus Christ, there are plenty of decent arguments against assisting Ukraine with weapons so they can defend themselves from Russia invaders, but why do we have so many people aping retarded history revisionism trying to portray poor Putin and Russia as their somehow victims?
Look, the US has been harassing Russia for 2 decades now and have been lying about Russia at every, single, opportunity.
This could have been handled diplomatically years ago, there's ZERO attempt at diplomatic solutions.

As if Russia hasn't done the same?
Russia is one of the biggest weapons suppliers in the world and has been causing instability all through Africa, Asia and the Middle East propping up shitbirds like Saddam Hussein, Assad, Ayatollahs, Castro bros, Chavez and North Korea.

How so? Agreeing that Russia can keep Crimea after it's invasion and keep allowing Russia to chip away at Ukraine's Eastern border?
Russia wouldn't be fucking with Ukraine's eastern border if there wasn't a US coup.

That I think everyone with a brain can agree with.
Black Hole: as billions in American arms and aid enter Ukraine, US officials receive hand written receipts
“Hand receipts, it’s all paper.”

Ukraine is consistently ranked as one of the most corrupt governments in all of Europe. Given that reality, it might not come as much of a surprise that Kiev has no functioning mechanism to track the massive amount of inflows of American weapons and aid into the country. ...
In a Bloomberg article from the weekend titled, “Torrent of Cash for Ukraine Arms Puts Pentagon Watchdog on Alert,” an amazing bombshell comes via a quote in the story that seems to imply the opposite of the piece’s accountability theme.
A Pentagon official, Inspector General Sean O’Donnell, is quoted as saying that Ukrainian officials do their accounting of American equipment and aid with “hand receipts, it’s all paper.”
O’Donnell added that he doesn’t “think they have much fidelity” as to where the arms end up. ...
It’s worth recalling that CBS News recently caved to a pressure campaign & pulled its documentary examining the flow of arms and aid to Ukraine. In the original documentary, CBS News found that only 30% of arms shipped to Ukraine made it to the front lines, and a large chunk of inventory ended up in black markets around the world.
The news comes amid reports that active duty American service members are being relinquished of vital munitions — including high-tech weapons that are not easily replaced — so that these arms and ammo can be sent to Ukraine. Ignoring the troublesome supply chain issues, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has insisted upon draining American military stockpiles by a very significant percentage of overall inventory, rendering the U.S. military in a more vulnerable position.
The American military is being comprehensively disarmed to prop up the Biden Administration’s proxy war against Russia, and in the process of their pursuit of this skirmish, billions of dollars of weapons and aid are moving into a country with zero accounting or transparency mechanisms.
including high-tech weapons that are not easily replaced
Just like always, BIden Actor is probably laundering old military inventory through Ukraine for them to sell on the black market with a kickback cut. Some of it winds up on the front lines to be blown up or seized by Russia. There are lots of vids of Russians thanking the USA for all the arms and equipment they have seized from fleeing Ukrainian troops.
Ah, so this is why they can't gain any significant ground for the last 2 months: too busy collecting all the 80s tech we throw at them...
Will Global Warming save Europe this winter? Only Al Gore knows for sure. LOL! Russians are extending the Russian Winter offense all the way to Europe.
Ukraine War Is Depleting U.S. Ammunition Stockpiles, Sparking Pentagon Concern
The level of one type of combat rounds in storage is ‘uncomfortably low,’ says a defense official
WASHINGTON—The war in Ukraine has depleted American stocks of some types of ammunition and the Pentagon has been slow to replenish its arsenal, sparking concerns among U.S. officials that American military readiness could be jeopardized by the shortage.
The U.S. has during the past six months supplied Ukraine with 16 U.S. rocket launchers, known as Himars, thousands of guns, drones, missiles and other equipment. Much of that, including ammunition, has come directly from U.S. inventory, depleting stockpiles intended for unexpected threats, defense officials say.
Only the best for our Ukrainian friends. Thanks for the field testing...OOps, he was blown up by a Russian missile that actually worked.
