#Russia is now at peak #military-industrial capacity, practically zero unemployment, pay hikes because not enough labour force to man the weapons factories. 35% of government spending go to military. 7.1% of GDP. All of it to go up in smoke in #Ukraine
However, if we look at the numbers, this output only matches current EU military spending. Countries which are on avg spending less than 2% on it currently.
Tell me again how Ukraine supported only by Europe can’t possibly win?

"Russia to Advance Deep Into Ukraine if Chasiv Yar Falls, Governor Warns
The strategic importance of Chasiv Yar lies in its commanding vantage point atop a hill, which puts a larger area at risk of Russian artillery bombardment."
Journalists in the west now seem to finally be admitting that our media environment has seen a radical shift towards anti-democratic forces.
Yet. This didn’t come out of nowhere.
Remember those same people posting RT clips daily back in 2015?
As far as my home country goes, we have pretty solid evidence that even if we have only ourselves to blame for supporting these people, #Russia had an #influence and provided a lot of the #disinformation ammo they shot with.
