I think now we can finally close the topic of "the second army of the world" and "super power" and other rubbish. Ask for drones from a country that has been under sanctions for 20 years I can't believe it's for real.
Drone from Iran, MRE from China, armored vehicle from Belarus. USA beware!

RF is clearing out any possible doubt of how exaggerated were the claims about capabilities, production, efficiency, training and, in general, to their ability to wage a modern war. It is true that the (remaining) chief psychos have learnt the lesson themselves and are somehow managing to coordinate the resources they have - as long as they remain close to their bases in the RF.

But it is also true that the RF status as a superpower is not realistic. The nuclear arsenal is a defensive deterrent, but it does nor provide offensive advantages in a conventional war. The huge arsenal of outdated gunnery provides an advantage, but it requires soldiers willing to risk their lives at a moment in which there is no real threat to the RF.

In respect to the advanced capabilities in rocketry, again, they confer a deterrent in large scale wars, but the cost and quantities involved in waging a conventional war using the latest and most expensive "toys" require endless resources, production capabilities and strong supply chains of critical components.

Overall, I would say that the RF maintains the capability of causing destruction and killing... for now. There are plausible scenarios of oil prices, economical downturns and social unrest that end very badly for Adolf Putin and his gangsters.

Yesterday, July 8, 2022, the Russian Navy took delivery of the first submarine capable of firing the "Poseidon" nuclear tsunami drone torpedo.  No other submarine on earth has such capability and there is no defense at all against its "Poseidon" drone nuclear torpedo.

The Russian Navy submarine armed with a strategic nuclear torpedo the size of a school bus was delivered to the Kremlin this week, according to an announcement from the shipyard.

Project 09852 Belgorod is based on a Russian Oscar-class guided-cruise missile submarine that has been altered to accommodate six Poseidon nuclear torpedoes that could each be armed with a warhead of up to 100 megatons.

The submarine was delivered to the Russian Navy in a ceremony in at the Northern Fleet's headquarters in Severodvinsk on Friday.

About the Russian language in Ukraine.

It is more like that from the borders of Ukraine, deep into the rashist understate, there will be a 300 km non-residential zone

And about terrorists on a global scale - you reminded me well - after all, these are "ugly children of the USSR / Russia." And I am more than sure that, realizing that soon a noose will be tightened on the thin, flabby neck of the pitiful Fuhrer of the Rashists, he will certainly try to spoil the whole world. Here's the truth, as the latest facts show - most likely the terrorists will abandon the Iskanders, because these missiles suddenly became "boomerangs" - after the start they often fall near the launch site ... And the terrorists of their Hezzballs and others - they are not idiots, this is not the Russian army, they feel sorry for themselves and will not take risks

Russian President Vladimir Putin is proving to be a masterful geopolitical player with ever move he implements to counter tired, predictable and toothless sanction efforts imposed on him by corrupt and morally bankrupt Western countries.

For more than a decade, Putin allowed Europe to become heavily dependent on food, energy and other vital commodities supplied by Russia, knowing that with each passing year he would eventually be in a position to withstand any punishing actions against him if not dictate terms outright once he began to reconstitute the former USSR by force, which has long been a vision of his.

When he began positioning more than 100,000 men and battalions of heavy military equipment around Ukraine last fall in anticipation of an invasion — which happened in late February — even then the Europeans continued to do business with Putin, if for no other reason than by that time, they had little choice.

Germany, for instance, was not only reliant on Russia for natural gas, the country was building a gas pipeline with Russia even after then-President Donald Trump warned Berlin not to do so and after he reminded the German government, then led by Chancellor Angela Merkel, that it made no sense to build up NATO as a bulwark against Russia only to provide Moscow with tens of billions of dollars in revenue and put Putin in the driver’s seat during any future emergency.

Trump, of course, proved to be right: After Putin invaded, Russia hesitated at first to cut off its gas supply from Russia, at least until the country could find new sources, while at the same time keeping its other trade lanes open with Moscow that were still permitted even under a newly imposed sanctions regime.

Now, even those carve-outs are collapsing and are putting the Europeans in the position of not being able to purchase enough food to feed the continent, per The Consul, which noted that Putin has signed a decree declaring that Russia would no longer sell vital raw materials to countries that it considered ‘unfriendly.'”

The report adds:

These include most of the nations of the West. This step is a complete disaster for the European Union. It is basically signing a death warrant for all European economies. It is feared that European economies might not survive this draconian action. A year from now, the standard of living of all Europeans will be substantially lower than what it is today. It is the right time now for all Europeans to consider what is about to come and how will their lives be affected by this decree. If you are a middle-class resident of European Union, then a year from now you are mostly likely to become very poor and probably unemployed.

Prepare for a 300km buffer zone around any parts of former Ukraine Putin decides to not negotiate back after Zelenski exits the stage?
If it were me, I'd be starting to train Syrian, Hezbollah, and Yemeni teams on use of the Iskandar system.

Who the fuck does he think he's there to defend, the store didn't serve him in Russian.

Jake Sullivan with some news: Says US has intelligence that Iran is preparing to provide Russia with UAVs to use in Ukraine and is preparing to train the Russians how to use them.

Wow, that's strong statement. You're real nazi and you just proved it with your words. Who cares about people lifes, who cares about buildings? That's russian thinking where life of people is worth nothing. Russia is making genocide in Eastern Ukraine, killing both Ukrainian and Russian speaking people. This is how they "protect" Russian speaking population of Donbas.

You're asking for denazification yourself.

The destroyed houses will be rebuilt, new people will be born and grow up to replace the dead, and they will speak their native language fluently (it doesn’t matter if it’s Ukrainian or Russian). Ukraine believed in itself too much, having decided to forbid the Russian-speaking residents of Donbass to speak Russian, and Ukraine will be punished for this. It does not matter how many houses will have to be destroyed and how many more people will have to be killed.

It’s feeling like my days are numbered and I’d like to say some things. About me. Former military. Afghanistan veteran. Combat experienced. Three days ago I was in a trench line listening to artillery. I got to thinking about the perspective of the enemy. Just a few hundred yards away are the Russians. Living through the same bullshit I am… I’ve seen dead bodies before. Dead Taliban. Dead Afghan civilians. But that culture was so far removed and different from ours that I couldn’t really identify with it. I saw some dead Russians lined up by the road and I was shocked. I thought, ‘These guys could be me.’

Thanks for spelling out the genocidal "essence". I think it may matter to Ukrainians how many of them Putin is trying to kill.

I'm sure you have already been informed this isn't true.  Why do you keep repeating it?

Ukraine believed in itself too much, having decided to forbid the Russian-speaking residents of Donbass to speak Russian

In April 2019, Ukraine’s parliament approved a language law making Ukrainian the mandatory language for public sector workers. The adoption of this law required citizens to know Ukrainian and obliged civil servants, soldiers, doctors and teachers to communicate in Ukrainian.

In January 2022, a new provision of the law was introduced, under which print media outlets registered in Ukraine were required to publish in Ukrainian. This did not ban publications in other languages. Instead, the law required that all content also be published in Ukrainian.

It does not matter how many houses will have to be destroyed and how many more people will have to be killed.

There aren't many things Russians don't bargain for. You either pay full price, no matter how much it costs, or you can't afford it. Sovereignty and freedom from Nazism are on the list of such things, and Russia can afford them.

Glad you're having fun too.
