    Nope, in 2023 Russia still has the World' largest tank army by a country mile- but the US has slipped to 3rd place. Do your homework.

    Of course everyone is so clever in this Doghouse thread that they do not need to read, or follow Links. They know it all already!

    Bit surprised though that nobody picked up on the fact that Ukraine had the 9th biggest tank army in 2014, it has now slipped to 13th. So what happened to them then? Why do they beg more from us?
    Doesn't matter I suppose- the shills will provide. Nice to know our hard earned taxpayers money is going into such competent, honest hands.

    0.02% of your GDP mate. Give til it hurts.

    The Kiel Institute’s tracker shows that Estonia and Latvia are the countries that have committed the largest assistance as a share of their own gross domestic product (0.9%), whereas the US is 10th in this analysis (0.2%) and Australia 32nd (0.02%). This data took into account 40 donor countries.

    I clicked on your link and already told you it said they have mothballed the majority of their tanks. Short memory? Or just being a "bonehead"?

    Damn statistics. It's a bit like that one about which country has the highest amount of Rolls Royce' per head of population? The Falklands, with precisely one- the Governors car.
    But I reckon $100bn could build a fair few schools and hospitals, and upgrade a wad of public transport. That's worth more to me than thousands more dead Russians and Ukrainians.

    You are a moron. Russia has lost thousands of tanks since February in Ukraine, confirmed by independent observers. The reason why the number on the site you quoted is so high is because they do not take that reality into account, furthermore, Russia always counts obsolete equipment that has been taken out of service in the overall numbers. A clear distortion. Over the last few months, very few new tanks have rolled into Ukraine because Russia is not capable of producing very many at all. We have seen them scraping the bottom of the barrel, sending old shit like T-62's. A clear sign that they are running out of inventory.

    Your site is a bit shit as usual. Rest assured that Ukraine has more tanks than they had before the war, and they have Russia to thank as their number one provider of equipment. Ukraine has captured hundreds of tanks.

    Dontcha just love it when recruit snubski goes into meltdown mode. Now for some historical reading, for the literatti:-



    For a Different Angle on Ukraine

    December 30, 2022


    Starting with Robert Parry’s groundbreaking reporting on the 2014 Maidan coup, through the Russian intervention this year, Consortium News has been a leading source of analysis on Ukraine that defies the ‘psyopcracy'.

    Consortium News has been on the leading edge of Ukraine coverage, beginning with Robert Parry’s work in 2014 to identify U.S. involvement in the coup and the role of neo-Nazis. He also warned as early as 2015 that the Ukraine crisis could lead to nuclear war. Here is a list of some of the most important original Consortium News stories on Ukraine since 2014.

    You have severe mental health problems if you think I am any kind of meltdown. You just further reinforce my comments by posting more shit from your trash propaganda sources. I even see your favorite convicted pedophile Scott Ritter mentioned. Utterly laughable.

    Only a dense moron like you would take any of that utter shit seriously. No surprise there, since over the years you have proven to be as big of a moron as Sabang.

    Why?

    When it holds the largest stockpile of nuclear warheads in the world.

    Could it be that Russians have a big mistrust against....everyone?

    Maybe Russians have always been hated and even China looks over the border with a slanted eye.

    It does not matter how big it is, it has been getting utterly decimated in Ukraine. It is total shit, as is the entire Russian army, air force and Navy. Any NATO tank would obliterate an entire squad of T-72s. Some of the worst tanks on the modern battlefield. But do keep clinging to your fantasies.

    Makes you wonder how they are sitting on 20% of 'ukraine', and incrementally gaining ground. Haven't heard you spruiking the fabled Winter offensive for a while, so whet's it to be now? A Spring offensive? And of course because the Russians are running out of anti-tank munitions [], the Leopards will sweep all before them. Deutchshland wunderwaffen!

    They aren't. More like 12%.

    Still, not even into a strategically irrelevant town like Bakhmut.

    Aha !
    I see what you are getting at and I therefore have to ask you how many % of ..."Novo Rossiya" is currently occupied by Ukraine ?

    I wholeheartedly agree, which is why I oppose any boost in the european millitary budgets.

    I choose to count the areas where we agree......buddy

    Actually that is a bit of a worry- because 100% of novorussiya includes Kharkiv, Dniepr and Odessa Oblasts too. I am hoping for a diplomatic off ramp without Russia taking them, because there is little chance Kiev would accept it, unless after a long, grinding, bloody war that would leave UKR decimated and a landlocked rump state.

    Thanks to US/Nato largesse, Ukraine now has the second largest military budget of any country worldwide- more than Russia, more than China. Yet we keep getting told how well they are doing.

    You really are a clown. Russia is holding on for dear life in Ukraine.
