A lot higher than we expected’: Russian arms production worries Europe’s planners
As Ukraine has scrambled to source ammunition, arms and equipment for its defence, Russia has presided over a massive ramping up of industrial production over the last two years that has outstripped what many western defence planners expected when Vladimir Putin launched his invasion.
As Russia’s war in Ukraine drags into its third year, the massive Russian investment in the military, projected this year to be the largest as a share of GDP since the Soviet Union, has worried European war planners, who have said Nato underestimated Russia’s ability to sustain a long-term war.
A tale as old as time: Smug Europeans with planet-sized hubris decide to poke the bear and find out the hard way.
Just woke up.
Initial thoughts:
- “The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed”
- “Somehow, Trump returned.”
Betting odds saw a massive 8% jump for Trump after the assassination attempt:
It has never been more Joever than now.
For the last 4 weeks, each period of Thursday to Saturday held some major event:
- Biden’s disastrous debate performance
- UK elections
- Trump Shooting
- Crowdstrike outage
Given that Israel already telegraphed its intentions for this month, I can conclude that Israel will attack Lebanon between July 25th and July 27th.
I hope all those centrists in LGBTQ+ communities are well-aware that if Israel gets away with slaughtering 2.2 million Palestinians, if the “garden”, the “international community” turns a blind eye to it, then what’s stopping them from turning a blind eye when the far right eventually goes full throttle on trans genocide?
Oh man, even the liberals from a week ago that were saying that we should just “wait for the second debate, it will go better” are dooming now.
Yet they are still convinced nobody can replace Biden. And Trump is playing it incredibly safe this time around, trying to avoid whatever controversy he can.
I think the Cheeto might have this one in the bag.
Joker pill is officially outdated, it’s time for the Mad Max pill.
What are your wastelander nicknames gonna be?
I love how the EU just pledged €54 billion in aid to Ukraine and nobody is talking about it.
Leave it to the Europeans to start throwing money at a war when the US basically already pulled out and nobody gives a fuck about it anymore. Pure self-destruction.
Rumor has it that the totalitarian German regime sends the Gestapo out for anyone unlucky enough to view the following symbol:

Pray for our German comrades 😔
