I literally say "mainstream media is brain rot" where you yourself quoted me directly below where you say this statement. Your reading comprehension is so bad I'm sure they have a category in the Special Olympics for people like you.
But that was approved.
Whoosh! This one obviously went right over your head. It's a term of phrase for people who get all their news from mainstream media, usually older people.
Russian industry outside of the mitary industrial estate complex is shrinking. Russia has not miraculously created a successful perfect "juche" economy in 4 years, they have just become dependent on China for all the things they used to buy from Europe, USA and the allies sanctioning Russia. Have a look at North Korea for Russia's future.
40% of all government spending on the military + the $100s of billions in loans to defence contractors from commercial banks + all of the able bodied men committed is not a small part of the economy by any description.
Laughable that Russia, the supposed second military in the world ended up in such a war on their border with Ukraine.
No shit, you should give Russian command a call, they could really use you!
We can all find articles that fit our own confirmation bias.
There is no sign of this happening though. If anything Russian lines are looking pretty shakey at the minute.
This war is nothing like WW2 though, it is much closer to ww1. The major difference between them and now is the drones and Ukraine's drone game is currently better.
I really don't think anyone gives a shit to be reading all of the shite we just wrote, just us two idiots.
This dude gets all his information from conspiracy theory channels on telegram like a true intellectual.
It was not, because the proxy war is going so great that there's no unanimous agreement on funding it anymore.
The only thing shrinking here is your peanut sized brain.
Less than 8% of the overall economy but keep on braying.
It really is laughable how Europe managed to destroy itself in a war with Russia once again.
Said the troll while having zero self awareness.
You should let Ukrainians know ASAP, seems like you have a better understanding of the war than they do https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/03/17/volodymyr-zelensky-london-starmer-remember-ukraine/
Ah yes, the guy who thinks that war of attrition is about territory is now lecturing on the distinction between WW1 and WW2.
