Speaking about Russia’s defense industry, Putin said it “demonstrates a very good both pace and quality of work,” and the superior weapons it produces includes “missile equipment, armored vehicles and everything that is used on the battlefield.”

We are indeed fortunate that Putin’s sense of innate fair play and sportsmanship causes him to refrain from deploying these world-beating T-14s to Ukraine.

"Russian forces should learn 'the hard way' when Ukraine fields a new weapon," Rice, who is now president of American University Kyiv, told Newsweek.

I wholeheartedly agree. Also, lmao!

And this is why we know any anti-immigration chatter from politicians is rhetoric and theatre

mibo80, to random in YouTube accused of censoring Macklemore's "Hind's Hall"

Great video but I really can’t agree with this protest pushing abstinence from voting on the upcoming election. I get that the current administration is enabling this, but the vote for the American president encompasses so much more than international strife. I wish we could separate that notion because it feels like a it’s been driven by foreign influence to sway the election. We cannot allow another Trump term. Cannot. If you think a protest for Palestine today is going to impact the presidential election as a “lesson” to your fellow Americans then the next protest against the policies of Project 2025 and Trump, will end up overshadowing all that you’re protesting now and the genocide will continue. Project 2025 will destroy America and anything left of Palestine. Yes war needs to stop, but voting for the lesser of two evils is all we get now. There will be not reckoning event for Democrats, they just need to claw back enough power to hold the legislative and keep it from the GOP while also making considerable changes to their own power structures within their party.

I didn't see any lyrics in the song that prompted not voting. He says in the song that he's not voting for Biden. That's not the same thing as not voting.

Everyone should vote for who they want to lead/represent them.

This is meant for the abused, uneducated, brainwashed internal audience.

The Kremlin knows they’re struggling against 40 year equipment from dusty warehouses.

You see comrade, Russias weapon systems are very advanced. We have this old soup can from 1976 with very sharp edges on the lid. How can you compete with this? Your demise is imminent!

According to Wikipedia, his statements may have been more a function of the system than his own willingness to outright fabricate material.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Saeed_al-Sahhaf

His pronouncements included claims that American soldiers were committing suicide “by the hundreds” outside the city, and denial that there were any American tanks in Baghdad, when in fact they were only several hundred meters away from the press conference where he was speaking and the combat sounds of nearing American troops could already be heard in the background.

US intelligence analysts later concluded that Al-Sahhaf confidently made false statements because he genuinely believed in what he was saying. As the American forces approached Baghdad, the Iraqi army falsely reported that they had successfully counterattacked US forces, destroying numerous tanks and killing hundreds of American troops. Army Col. Steve Boltz, the deputy chief of intelligence for V Corps, expressed that they held the belief that Al-Sahhaf sincerely held the information he reported to be true. Boltz theorized that because Saddam’s regime was known for frequently punishing those who delivered bad news, military officers would fabricate reports about the battlefield situation. This systemic self-deception within the Iraqi hierarchy led to a surprising lack of awareness when the Americans entered the capital, with some captured Iraqi officers later bewilderingly admitting that they had no idea that the US forces had been so close.

Burn_The_Right, to Ukraine_UA in Russia's weapons are "clearly superior" to NATO's, says Putin

Every country on the planet needs to adopt a policy of vocally and publicly calling his bluff at every turn. Make him lose face by overtly calling his bluff every time he opens his mouth about any little thing at all.

We should treat him as if his 50-year-old nukes are ancient, non-functional rust tubes overseen by black market scalpers and people who know better than to launch them. Because that’s exactly what they are.

Hear me out please. If we're going for a dollar to dollar comparison, he might have a point... That's about the only way that makes any lick of sense though
