Holy shite. Ukraine is in the running for most corrupt country in the world. You are so misinformed it’s embarrassing.

Just because the red brigade here keeps saying it’s one of the most corrupt nations over and over again doesn’t mean it’s so.

The Russians invaded Ukraine. Frankly I would not care if Ukraine live streamed every Russia pow being burned in cages.

You are way too personally invested in this man. I realize you have friends there but maybe take a day or two off and reset your brain.

This board is so damn entertaining. The stupidity here is unreal.

He's not "Pulling for the Russians." He's just not buying cheap, dumb propaganda like most of you are.

Is it just me, or every time this gets said in this thread, the next time the poster posts its straight up "cheap, dumb" Russian propaganda

Morning y’all. Good conversations with my Cz and RU friends this morning. If my RU friends are any indication morale is pretty shite in spite of the incremental “progress” RU is making in the east. They described the mood at their state/private organization as “foggy” and “nervous” they are cautiously optimistic that the rash of suicides and detentions of the managers is done but one of them was spoken to in his office albeit briefly this week about his communications on telegram ie which chat rooms he belonged to etc. Supporters of the invasion and opponents are asking out loud what the hell happened to all the RU military spending (which is a rhetorical question) and why can’t the RU army equip and pay the soldiers and widows? I asked about Ukrainian corruption and both people responded with a variation on the theme”You think they are bad with corruption? Who do you think taught them? Lol” apparently corruption was expected especially when previous Russia backed supported reps were elected. Ukraines problems with Russia started when they wouldn’t play ball ie kick back $$ and wouldn’t elect the favored candidates. Kremlin hates the crowd funded equipment drives as it reveals a truth and the Russian people know it. Sanctions are hitting the right folks at the moment but they will be hitting everyone in June July August. This RU push is costing beaucoup men and materials and the RU soldiers know Putin doesn’t give a frick about them. The self-sabotage we saw earlier continues if not intensified. Soldiers are shooting each other in places where it won’t kill them but removes them from battlefield-except it doesn’t, intercepts have RU commanders refusing ambulances and Wagner group folks are allowed leave and relief. Also amphetamine Use is becoming more common among the frontline RU. So food and equipment is running short but drugs aren’t….Ukrainians according to my Czech friends are actually cautiously optimistic about where things stand they have recalibrated their positions with artillery and they are now pushing back and there are actual reinforcements pouring in they are concerned about being entrapped in some positions but are being blessed by materials and intelligence well above what Russia is able to produce. There are some materials arriving and that have been promised that will arrive that will prove advantageous for the Ukrainians. As long as the 2/1 3/1 ratio is maintained they are happy to be ready, willing and enthusiastic to die to defend the homeland. This ratio is being maintained. I couldn’t find anywhere near the numbers WW is claiming this last week but have been assured Ukraine is underreporting RU WG KIA. MIA and wounded numbers are being reported by RU and as such are being sucked up by various intelligence agencies. CZs are 100 percent confident that the museum quality tanks and APCs being introduced into the war aren’t a feint but a direct correlation to what’s left in the cupboard. Internationally EU and NATO members are being updated, congratulated, talked to, with, cajoled and threatened. Don’t know if it’s Biden but somebody up high sure as frick knows what they are doing in American military/Government/diplomatic corps. For all the talk China is staying in line. No military aid or intelligence sharing.

Japan considering easing export restrictions on its defense industry to save it, but the timing also matter, at least to me

The National Security Strategy, the country’s long-term security and diplomatic policy guidelines, will also mention strengthening support for the defense industry in revisions to be made by the end of the year, according to the sources.

The move comes amid growing concerns within the government and ruling Liberal Democratic Party that Japan’s defense industry will become unsustainable as companies are pulling out one after another due to low profit margins, with the Self-Defense Forces being their sole client.
