This week on Perun: How corruption and politics can absolutely fuck up your procurement process (and how it happened to Russia).
I’m disappointed this guy hasn’t done a video on the Armenian/Azerbaijan conflict.
Especially with the recent build up of men and material by Azerbaijan on the border and Armenia being stuck between Western influence and Russian “protection”.
Is that conflict still ongoing? He didn't start doing his thing until 2022 but if it flares up again he might do a video on it
you can also suggest video topics if you pay him money via patreon or whatever
The conflict is stirring up again.
Lots of cargo flights between Azerbaijan and Israel/Turkey.
Karabakh is currently blockaded and on the verge of starvation while three just elected a Russian 5th columnist as their leader. Russia is supposedly sending one truck with aid after the election but it’s been blocked.
Lots of men and material are being stationed at the borders between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Pot shots by small arms and artillery are being made by both sides but that’s been norm since 2020/2021 when Azerbaijan took large parts of NK and parts of Armenia proper’s borders.
Since Russia is dragged down by the war in Ukraine, many available peacekeepers in the area were relocated to fight and less material is available for the remaining ones, this also means that in the case of the war restarting again, Russia can’t send Armenia any additional supplies.
Armenia is also stuck between western and Russian influence. Since Armenia has been Russia’s lapdog, it has been somewhat supportive of events such as the quelling of uprisings in Kazakhstan, and subliminally supporting puppet states in Georgia and Ukraine.
This results in many anti-Russian groups, mainly Georgians, Ukrainians, and a few others to despise Armenia or at the very least turn a blind eye to its troubles.
Armenia has also been walking a tightrope between Russia and the west. A few western nations, mainly the US and France, have been warming up to Armenia to remove another piece of Russian influence in the a region and to lightly jab the growing Turkish/Azeri influence on the region.
Currently Armenia is hosting a small number of US troops and equipment for except used in Armenia at the dismay of Russia.
Lastly, I forgot to mention the Azeri oil influence. Due to the war in Ukraine, a number of euro nations signed major gas deals with Azerbaijan. These respective nations and EU leaders are less likely to bad mouth the situation in NK and Armenia, especially with bribes.
Armenia isnt really "protected" by Russia anymore ther then on paper. Armenia sent home their CSTO ambassador, doesnt allow any Russian/Armenian joint exercizes anymore and Armenia will start training with US units. Soft power is a bitch isnt it?
That was before or after CSTO did nada when it was invaded by Azerbaijan in 2022?
After, it's the result.
The drone war with them preluding Ukraine should’ve been a stark warning to Russia and the rest of the world
I’d say the TB-2 strikes in Syria a few years back were a grim reminder. Not o mention the way drones were being used by Jihadists groups such as ISIS and whatever names Al-Nusra was operating under.
Pantsirs were swatted by Turk drones years before they were in Ukraine. Many Russian losses could have been avoided had they properly consulted the issues BEFORE their botched invasion into Ukraine.
Indian shilling is severe right now.
4chan especially. I assume that there are plenty of bots too. Giving internet to certain other nations has been a mistake.
Yeah except Armenia didn't have an Air Force to speak of, Russia did.
It just turned out that their Air Force is complete garbage.and SEADs about as well as morons breathe on fentanyl.
I think this one might be a record guys
Its fucking amazing how a procurement and logistics 101 class channel sends these "people" off the fucking deep end.
Yes, nothing perun says is particularly deep or complex. That is his virtue. To provide a rock solid foundational understanding of a topic where the public dialogue is mostly dominated by uninformed armchair experts who are still stuck in the 70s
no experience in defence or procurement
Im pretty sure he has, and thats why he refuses to say anything about Australia, he just cant put that because if he did, he wouldnt be anon anymore
Thanks, please leave the thread and go back to War Thunder or whatever the fuck you do. Whiny men are subhuman
>How corruption and politics can absolutely fuck up your procurement process (and how it happened to Russia)
Hasn't he been over this? I'm not complaining, just noticing
Have yet to watch it but I think this video my be more oriented to non-Russian nations such as the US, where defense procurement, lobbying, and corruption is often a controversial subject.
As someone who has watched the full video, its not really about any particular nation or corruption at all. Rather, it's about how even with a system working as intended might not produce the best result due to various incentives closer to home.
OP was being very misleading, probably because OP is a fag
OP is always a fag.
actually, the video should be mandatory viewing in Economics to try to get in their feeble little minds that there are other criteria for "efficiency" and "added value" that aren't "does the same and cheaper, guv"
Nah it's just worked it's way into the fleshbot anti-Perun script. He's made someone in Russia mad enough to hire a couple of staff in one of India's post farms.
shoigu is the main culprit I think
the jab about real estate portfolio was the last straw :DDDD
Shoigu's just pissed off at a foreign departmental counterpart is ragging on him and hired his own personal shills.
Why didn't you post the link?
Good video as always but he's starting to run in circles restating shit 4th video in a row titled slightly differently
I wish he'd try some new topics
Here I’ll save PrepHoleonsumers some time:
Money spent on corruption isn’t spent on gear.
See? Now you can save 45-60 minutes of your lives. Unless, of course, you don’t care about the actual topic and just want to consume propaganda for entertainment.
>consooooom!
why are nu-contrarians so fucking gay and retarded? Do you even know what consooming was originally meant to criticize? No, you fucking don't, you just want to sound like you fit in.
NTA, but you realize the word consume can be used in ways other than in the sense of "consumerism" as it applies to economics, right? That "consume propaganda," "consume media," and similar idioms were commonplace long before the internet right wing adopted anti-consumerism? No, you probably didn't know that, because the nu-contrarians who use "consoom" are your primary exposure to the word, because it is you who is ignorant and underexposed to non-internet culture.
how do we solve the problem of defense industry not being profitable unless there's a threat of conflict?
Should the state really redistribute resources from the successful and productive parts of the economy to build unprofitable weapons that will just rust away? Maybe defense contractors shouldn't invest heavily into a limited market and instead begin to produce products that actually turn a profit?
bruh, the entire point of government is to spend money on things that aren't directly profitable. roads, schools, emergency services, etc. not exactly stuff known for turning a profit.
All of those things have been profitable.
They have to develop products with huge R&D costs that they aren't allowed to sell to new customers without permission from their main customer and without any guarantee that their main customer will even buy their product.
Again?
