Their nuclear arsenal is more modern than ours.

Well it should be. I’ve got it in good authority that Russia is debt free, their economy is booming, and all Russians can get and buy whatever they want.

The wacko right believes the MIC runs the US, but yet our defense is shot. Go figure.

MIC for him just means Jews. He IS the the MIC. He wants a forever military state with compulsory sacrifice in the battlefield. He wants a fascist economy (and I don’t say that flippantly). The cognitive dissonance is blinding.

What a waste of his prodigious IQ.

Looks like another big shake up in zelensky's cabinet. The last time this happened the CIA said he fired all the people who were complaining he was taking to big a cut of all the money stolen from the US and they were not getting their fair share. I guess zelensky is in the market for some bigger vineyards.

A major shake-up of the government is under way in Ukraine after at least seven ministers and senior officials resigned and a presidential aide was fired.

Among those who quit or offered to do so late on Tuesday and early on Wednesday were Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba, who alongside President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has led the drive to maintain Western support, and Minister for Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshin, who was in charge of weapons production.

Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna also resigned along with the justice, environment and reintegration ministers as well as the head of Ukraine’s State Property Fund, Vitaliy Koval.

About a third of the positions in the cabinet are now vacant.

Wasn't he the one whose appointment some folks on here lauded based on his success with the railroad?

---

Yes, he's now moving into a new role, reportedly as a special advisor to Zelensky. The guy that Kamyshin hired to run Ukroboronprom will be promoted to be the new minister of defense production.

And the fact that Ukraine has the production of over a million drones under contract tells you just a bit about his success.

What you are saying is there are going to be a lot of 25-40 year old Ukrainian and Russian women who are going to be desperate for a man? SirWinston might finally have a chance to get married.

Or not have to use Trannies to get laid.

So Benny Johnson ,Tim Pool and Dave Rubin have been funded directly by Moscow? Lol

Funny moment in the Tenet indictment: a Tenet founder, who have told Youtubers their funding is coming from a Western European businessman, emails the investor for more money. When no one responds, Tenet's founder drops the pretense and googles "time in Moscow"

Dude claims not to know that the millions were coming directly from the Kremlin.

EDIT2: Pool said that if the charges are true and he was funded directly from Moscow, he he's the real victim, lol.

SirWinston can try to rail anyone he chooses as long as it is not me or anyone related to me.

Speaking of rails. It looks like the railways in Russia are possibly experiencing the problems that we discussed a while back.

quote:

---

In August, the transport monopoly, which operates the third-largest railway network in the world, transported 97.5 million tons of freight on freight trains. In annual terms, freight traffic fell by 6% — a record since June 2022, and compared to the spring, the decline accelerated threefold: in May it was 2.1%, in June 3%, in July 5.6%.

If the situation does not improve by the end of the year, the collapse of freight traffic will be the deepest since the global financial crisis of 2008–09, MMI analysts note: “Even during Covid, loading fell less.”

The main reason is problems with sales of coal and metals abroad due to falling demand in China and sanctions, MMI emphasizes.

---

In addition to the decline in exports, Russian Railways is experiencing increasing difficulties with locomotives, MMI points out: last year, 42.6 thousand trains were left without service due to rolling stock breakdowns - twice as many as in 2022. According to Russian Railways itself, the shortage of locomotives for transportation may amount to 1.5 thousand units by 2035.

Freight transport is falling as the Russian economy, which has been put on a war footing, slows down. According to Rosstat, industrial growth in July slowed to 3.3% after 4.4% in the first half of the year, and in monthly terms, output volumes have been declining for the second month in a row: by 0.8% in July compared to June, and by 1.5% in June compared to May.

Twice as many breakdowns as 2 years ago. Hey Lima Whiskey, are the railroads important to Russia's ability to wage war?

Russia really does rely on rail. Just before Russia invaded Crimea, a Belgian friend had offered several types of refined oil products via Russia's east coast meaning it all had to be shipped via rail. Additionally, he had available many tons of fertilizers, all shipped by rail across Siberia to Russia's east coast. That is a shitton of extra expense just for transportation and shows how reliant Russia is on rail. It's a wet dream of Warren Buffett to have that much freight for BNSF.

I'm so innocent i will sue anyway who says I'm not. Usually not the best defense

"Wacko"? Is that the new projective word to replace "weird"? TIA, I'm just trying to keep up with the sophomoric invectives replacing civil dialogue.

I’m on the right. The ones on the wacko right have bizarre takes.

For an example of people in the wacko right go read the thread about Churchill and Hitler on the PT board.
