HaHa. It is the attitude from you guys that is dangerous. The 155mm artillery shell cost to produce in Russia is $600 to produce compared to $5-6000 in Nato countries. The Ukraine army has been destroying itself against against the Russian defenses for a few months. Russia has been out producing the combined west for months and have plans to triple that production. Of course Putin is purchasing arms where he can. Russia is fighting in Ukraine and must equip and train the 300k+ army he now has in reserve. Ready to go when needed. Unlike Nato, which insisted on the just failed offensive, where the unfortunate Ukraine soldiers were forced to attack well prepared Russian defenses with no air cover. Why? Politics in the USA? The Russian deterrent has been upgraded with the scary Satan2 ICBM. Each battery can launch ICBMs with 15 nukes that can be targeted for individual targets and according to Putin, cannot be stopped by any current Nato missile defenses. As for Nato unity, Poland has already said, no more arms to Ukraine. The new Slovakian government said no more arms to Ukraine, and there are concerns the US congress will stop aid to Ukraine. Reasons cited corruption, lack of results, and emerging politicians like Trump promising to end the war. I don't support Putin, but nothing is to be gained from the self delusion I see here. The US wants a pause in the war, but Russia said no. No trust remains for Nato after the bogus Minsk talks.
