It seems that the Norks and Iran are robbing Russia blind lately. Russia needs Iranian missiles and North Korean ammo and spare parts? It's a fucking joke.
Russia can't possibly be so stupid, are they paying a half million each for a Persian drone and $50 a round for 14.5mm? It just doesn't make any sense.
Memes aside Iran and the DPRK are dominating arms sales in the horn of Africa in places like Sudan, what the hell is Russia doing there? Is Russia really losing that much market share while their weapons reserves dry up?
It seems like there is a major shift going on in the global black market arms trade, like Iran and North Korea have out-gangstered Russia.
yup
Yes, it's their fault Russia is incompetent
Check out is to your left, please remember that DPRKmart only takes cash or gold bars as payment. If you cannot afford your current purchase we will happily negotiate a payment plan.
Please secure any credit accounts with our Persian friends before you place your order. Note that neither of us consider food or petrol products as valid collateral.
>food
Their anti-covid lockdowns throttling their fertilizer imports is why they're starving to death. Not accepting food subsidies in exchange for artillery shells that don't even work would be fucking retarded.
Yes, they are starving because 40 years ago they were starving. Also the USA is so poor that they can't afford CD players, they are stuck using Betamax and HS. Also we hate Iran because our man in Iraq Saddam is fighting those evil Iranians. I really hope Reagan will fix things by funding the Afgan resistiance movement..
I think China making record savings by buying their oil at clownshow prices should be a bigger concern than some overpriced lawnmowers and dud shells.
>by buying their oil at clownshow prices
You forgot to mention they are doing it with PRCs own funny money to boot.
Also it seems Chinese also got the best farming lands in SIberia for basically free as a package deal.
Why is she so balding?
The Kremlin is not necessarily Russia, or oriented towards goodwill for ethnic Russians. Putin is similar to GW Bush in some ways.
In this case their manufacturing base was sold to China (or for scrap) so here we are.
>Putin is similar to GW Bush in some ways.
Gleb Pavlovsky, an advisor of Putin's in the 2000s, said that Bush was a role model for him. Gleb also thought he learned some of the wrong lessons.
You're missing the point. Russia technically lost the day they failed to take Kyiv. Putting aside all the bullshit reasons for them invading Ukraine whether it be to de-Nazify, to protect 'ethnic' Russians, to 'counter' NATO, to demilitarize etc. etc. etc. Whatever reason Russia tries to use to justify their invasion is completely irrelevant now. Ever since that day of not taking Kyiv, they have put themselves into a position that is impossible to get out of. Putin knows this. It's just a long & slow painful death. Same could be said for Ukraine, but the West still has all of their militaries intact & has an excuse to buy new equipment to replace all the old shit given to Ukraine for whatever the old equipment amount was worth in $'s. So Russia only has 2 options right now. 1) drag the war for as long as they can & lose slowly 2) actually defeat Ukraine with a depleted military only to be obliterated by the US & NATO afterwards. Things would have been COMPLETELY different if Russia was able to secure Kyiv that day. Especially if there was minimal resistance/casualties. Russia could have gotten away with the invasion if that scenario manifested into reality. So, as of now, it seems Russia is going with option 1. Since it leads to their defeat regardless, everything you mentioned is irrelevant to them. They just want to cause as much damage as possible now because why the fuck not? Being stupid isn't being stupid when it's the only option.
I want mommy Yo-jong to step on me.
>kid: Dad, I want a kpop gf
>dad: don't worry we have kpop gfs at home
>kpop gfs at home:
as long as she steps on me i'll take it
>Dad can we have Kpop?
>No, we have Best Kpop at home
Oh wait, we do have best Kpop...
It's the kpop version of a politburo official
They have huge stockpiles, probably are selling them for scraps as its things they don’t even need. Also not a coincidence Iran released their hypersonic missile right after
North Korea is almost certainly getting rocket scientist and enginners, which is concerning to say the least.
>which is concerning to say the least.
Fuck timmy gon do?
India is holding on to its scam king crown here. They're buying russian oil for fuckall rupees but India produces almost nothing russia wants. So they're getting russia to invest those rupees back into Indian infrastructure projects and other such works that will probably never pay back dividends (if they aren't actual scam projects that is)
iran is going to be buying from north korea soon at this rate
>paying a half million each for a Persian drone and $50 a round for 14.5mm?
Welcome to the wonderful world of supply and demand. Nobody else will sell to them so they'll pay what is asked - or run out.
