You can tell this guy is in the financial industry, he expands the concept of liquidity to coalition warfare.
quote:
‘The West is overstretched.’ I hear it daily now — two wars, drained arsenals, a distracted America. The [autocratic] axis, we are told, is winning by stretching us.
I read the ledger differently.
Yes, the strain is real. Munitions are depleted, and honest people should say so.
But stretch is happening to both sides. Look at what it is doing to each.
This month alone: Iran set fire to its own oil leverage and got $94 crude, not $150 panic. Russia is pulling front-line units off the battlefield to guard tankers while its refineries burn. North Korea sells Moscow shells — for payment, in advance. And China attends conferences, pleading for multilateralism.
Notice the pattern. The axis shares weapons, [but] never the burdens. Every member invoices the others. It is a coalition of takers.
The democratic alliance runs the opposite model: thirty-seven nations pooling air defense. Five British prime ministers, one unbroken policy. Patriot production licensed to the country that needs it most.
History already graded this exam. The last Axis never once coordinated a strategy — Berlin didn’t even tell Tokyo it was invading Russia. The Allies built combined commands and won.
Coalitions of takers snap under stretch. Coalitions of givers compound under it.
That is the whole war — on both fronts — in one sentence.

One more. Always nice to find a new Twitter source that puts hammer to nail.
quote:
Fedorov did not get his ministry back [yet]. Many are calling that his defeat.
Read his statement again.
Robotization of the battlefield. Asymmetric strikes. Exhausting Russia’s economy. Saving soldiers’ lives through technology. That is Fedorov’s program — and as of last night, it is the officially blessed direction of Ukraine’s new command.
The chair went to someone else. The agenda won completely.
A pattern worth learning young: in institutions, the person and the idea travel separately. Offices are rented. Ideas, once they win the argument, belong to everyone.
The reformer’s revenge is not reinstatement.
It is watching the institution forced to govern by his playbook.

InformNapalm claims a Ukrainian HUMINT-CYBINT operation manipulated Russia’s BARS Moscow air defenses into shooting down a Su-57 in Moscow region. The group said it intercepted training streams, analyzed the system’s software, hardware, combat procedures, and vulnerabilities, then passed its findings to Ukraine’s Defense Forces. Russia’s Defense Ministry blamed a technical malfunction without naming the aircraft, while Russian Z-channels reported possible sabotage.

Russian milbloggers are already hinting that air defense may have been involved in the reported Su-57 crash in Moscow region:
«July 23, 2026 Odintsovo district, Moscow region, Russia. Russian Aerospace Forces Su-57. The pilot ejected and is alive.
A number of questions should be asked of the BARS-Moscow air defense crew.»

I may have to steal that line for my own work.

Despite the spike in July quoting from your post-"
ETA: any business man knows that the revenue you bring in only tells part of the story.
You can bring in more revenue and lose money of bring in less revenue and make more money.
Figures like this only tell part of the story.

Despite what?
I don't think those numbers are good, but they certainly aren't as bad as you would think they would be if you read this thread every day and nothing else

I agree the July number is surprising. You’d think that July would have been as bad as the six previous months when revenues were down. It’s a head scratcher.
But you can play games with numbers. You can sell at a loss to move product;
For instance Russia could sell oil at a loss , but take in more revenues because they are so cheap. I’m not saying they did this, but if their refineries are not operating they may be selling oil real cheap to get rid of it. I dont know if that explains the spike, but it could.

We actually suppress some pure capitalist components of our ag industry with stricter regulations and government subsidies, and still do better than Russia (and most countries FWIW). Russia has price controls on some ag products... A socialist relic of another time.
Our food policy seems nuts, but it's done to stop overproduction and a collapse of the food industry because of too much cheap food hitting the marketplace at once... which then would cause a scarcity crisis when there are no companies left in business. We pay farmers to throw away their entire season's yields, or to skip planting altogether for a year or two... or three... It's also why I laugh at any complaints about what can be bought with "Food Stamps" or whatever they're called now, because I can remember how the same stuff gets banned over and over and over... then quietly put back, because the grocers and Soda compaies have lobbyists and make campaign contributions, and they're not getting left out of this stimulus program (you think we have that because we give a shite about poor people?).
