Weapons "going missing" in such a large scale conflict is normal but the scale of them being sold on black market is outrageous. Some sources like CBS news have claimed in the past that up to 70% of what is donated to Ukraine is being sold on black market.

You'd wish they were taken by the Russians, the worse part is that these weapons are being sold to terrorist organizations. Some of them intentionally where US uses Ukraine as a middle man to arm its proxies like ISIS to cover the paper trail and have someone to blame when they are caught using those weapons in near future.

And this is one of the reasons why the US military was reluctant to provide advanced weaponry to Ukraine, despite the pressure from Biden administration. A number of NLAWs and Javelins have popped up in Syria. And I am quite sure that they will be transported to other conflict zones as well (such as Yemen, Afghanistan and Africa). Multiple parties are benefiting here. First in line are the defense industries in the United States who sell these overpriced pieces of junk. Then comes the Ukrainian political establishment, who gets their cut. And further down the pyramid are the Ukrainian military officers who steal the weapon shipments and sell them in the black market.

And you are ignoring the fact that the reserves need to be refilled at some point, especially when there are heightened chances of a global armed conflict between the super-powers. Americans have already emptied more than half of their reserves. How much more they can sell? They need to make sure that the reserves doesn't dip below a critical threshold.

Nothing will happen

If you read ALL the news and not extracts from Russian propaganda, you will learn a lot of new and interesting things. The situation is this:
- In fact, "anti-OPEC +" appears on the market: the USA, China, Japan, India, South Korea and Great Britain.
- The purpose of this "alliance" is to stabilize the oil market by selling part of its strategic reserves.
Who will sell and how much? In total, the US plans to sell 50 million barrels of oil from the SPR, including 18 million barrels that were previously approved, the White House said. Another 32 million barrels will be sold on an exchange basis in the coming months.
Britain intends to sell 1.5 million barrels of oil from its reserves, the Financial Times reported. India, according to Bloomberg, sells 5 million barrels.
There are no specific data regarding the plans of other countries. South Korea announced only the fact of the planned sale, without specifying the volume. Oil sales by China from reserves, according to the consulting company JLC, will amount to at least 7.33 million barrels.

why is USA so eager to help Ukraine. Do they aim to destroy Russia only or do they really want to help Ukraine?

Expect another hit to the economy in around 1 week from now. The midterm elections in the United States will be completed by 8th November 2022. And immediately after that I expect the Americans to start refilling their Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The SPR is at the lowest level since 1984, and at some point the Americans need to refill it. And it is going to be tricky, given the recent production cuts by the OPEC+, and the proposed cap on Russian crude. I expect the Brent crude prices to climb to $120-125 levels by mid-November.

More and more people in the West are beginning to scratch their heads wondering why they should be suffering with sky-high inflation, unaffordable utility bills, and unruly mobs of freeloading Ukrainian migrants. Ukrainians' minds are puzzled over the amazing speed at which the Ukrainian government swallows up vast sums of money being sent to the country with nothing to show for it. The public services in the West are failing due to a lack of funds. NATO on the other hand sends numerous kinds of weapons systems, which are being shipped off in the Ukrainian direction, that are either destroyed, sold to third parties around the world or taken as trophies by the Russians. while inflation is making their replacements unaffordable.

Though I do not pray for the war to continue. The war for supremacy should stop. This war between Russia and Ukraine might seem like a movie in eyes of many, simply because it hasn't begun to knock on the doors of other people in various countries. The war between both countries is to subside and be settled amicably, rather than for the US to add more coal to the fire that's already beneath.

War greatly affects the economy of every countries, it doesn't give any good thing at all but inflation, structural damages, many people will be unemployed, panic, despair, and uncertainty. War consumes a lot of funds for destruction of its enemy while it goes the same thing for the other country, it's just pure idiocracy, where people want to prove how powerful they are in exchange of nothing, to be honest.

War should be avoided as much as possible, but people always choose violence to get what they want, and that's what gonna makes us extinct in this world in the future.

The plane is a trifle against the background of how the Armed Forces of Ukraine every day send hundreds of representatives of the "second most powerful army in the world" to hell, and destroy hundreds of millions of dollars worth of equipment of the terrorist army
By the way - thanks to Russia for the most powerful Lend Lease! Lend-Lease, which Russia has launched since March 2022, is constantly leaving tens and hundreds of units of military equipment of our army. A very cool fact, easily verifiable - there were fewer tanks and armored personnel carriers in the Armed Forces of Ukraine before the war than in 3 months after the second phase of the terrorist war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine. And this is all due to the abandoned military equipment regularly "regrouped", but in fact cowardly fled, Russian terrorists
And the United States and Britain really train and advise our army, teach modern warfare technologies, provide real high-tech weapons, and not fake trash, which, with the help of Soyuzmultfiln, raises the ego of a grandfather with the sexual characteristics of a grandmother, and of the entirere Russian people

Pashinsky and RussiaToday are, of course, ideal sources of information   For those who live in fakes - that's it

Ok, I laughed heartily, let's get real!
After the start of another terrorist attack by a terrorist country on Ukraine, Ukraine received about fifty Bayraktars TB-2. The exact data is hardly available in open sources, but the approximate order can be found out.

It's silly to say (I'm not the Russian media ) part of the bayraktars were lost during the hostilities. Now these devices are used in the east and south directions. But their active use has now decreased. The reasons ? The Armed Forces of Ukraine have more effective means of destroying terrorists, such as HYMARS, kamikaze drones, high-precision artillery, guided missiles, etc.
The approximate number of operating devices (Bayraktars TB-2) is several dozen.

For educational purposes: In Ukraine, the construction of a plant for the production of Bayraktars TB2 and promising models has begun.
A full-fledged unmanned fighter (I understand for Russians with "analogue-shit" weapons this is not very clear ) developed by a Turkish company, equipped with a Ukrainian engine

PS by the way - I would like to hear your comments on the statements of the Russian media about "the complete destruction of Ukrainian air defense in March 2022"? Today, the air defense perfectly worked out another raid of drones and missiles of the country of an international terrorist! Only in the Kyiv region and Kyiv, 4 cruise missiles and 10 Shahed-136 drones were shot down.

I don’t ask about the rest of the “successes” of the army of marauders and terrorists, so as not to injure the psyche of supporters of the Kremlin ghouls and their fakes

And yet - tell me - where are the ragged mobilized ones driven like cattle for slaughter? In which country is the president-terrorist, losing the war, forcing his citizens to die for the sake of his complexes?

And yet - December-January a surprise awaits you !!! Yes Yes Yes ! Who managed to hide from the first mobilization ... will fall into the second! Which, according to the "president who never lies" is not, will not be, and definitely will not be

If you look at the absolute cost in USD terms, countries outside the war zone has suffered more economic damage when compared to both Russia and Ukraine. Crude oil prices have remained high, LNG prices are up by 20x, coal prices are up by 2x, Potash fertilizer has gone up by 3x.etc. Prices of wheat, sunflower oil and barley are at historic highs. We now have double digit inflation in most of the countries. And I would say that the impact is felt more in third world nations such as India, since we import most of the oil and gas from outside.

The Russian and Ukraine War is likely to happen for a long time and has been more than 9 months, the damage and chaos of the Ukraine economy makes us sad because the impact of the war is certainly massive on many people, and of course the global economy is affected by the increasing oil price.
