Sure was, but now there is US document publically stating that. The weight someone wants to give it is up to them.
Fair enough. I’m curious how much of this equipment is more shitty outdated weaponry cloned from Russian weapons.
When Russia was considered a super power, this would have been news. Now that they're known as a paper tiger, this isn't surprising.
I think a paper tiger is even giving them too much credit at this point.
Like once a year we get an article about how the us military is too reliant on Chinese parts in their supply chain lol
How many different sarcastic shocked gifs do we have?
Why did you expect China to follow Western sanctions?
And in other news millions of US arms to Ukraine keep ending up in Africa. But let's talk about China helping Russia even though we already new this was going to happen from the start.
You can’t have endless war without three really solid participants!
I would be more surprised if they weren't.
Iirc that special agent(FSB agent?), That turned talked about a secret train that was used to transport material.
YEah, no surprise there. See past the veil, Rus never changed when the un-dethroneable president is "ex" KGB.
Actually it did change. The life expectancy plummeted dramatically during the 90s after the collapse of the USSR and is still recovering, and the whole ideology of the government has shifted. It is a completely different country to what it was when the KGB was a thing.
Do you live there? If not, then you only know what information is fed to the public. The thing is, the information we have, is curated to appear better than it actually is.
Why would they do differently? Ignoring any moral arguments, Russia occupying NATO makes NATO or US aggression against China less likely to happen.
Three things. First, China had explicitly declared that it would not supply arms. Second, it has tried to cast itself as a neutral mediator and peacemaker. Third, it has a broader stated policy of respecting territorial integrity and sovereignty.
Given that NATO is providing arms for Ukraine and NATO can't make its weapons without China it does seem fair to also provide components to Russia.
Third, it has a broader stated policy of respecting territorial integrity and sovereignty.
It can't do this without embargoing US weapons manufacturers, but that would be catastrophic so it makes sense that it is providing everyone instead of just the US.
