Then all I can say is you are a sick person.

You should consider seeing it for real rather than via Twitter. It might cure you.

The videos are easily accessible on OSINT and Ukr drone unit accounts. You act as if this is dark web content. No, this is easily accessible on the largest accounts. I became desensitized in the opening weeks of the war when Russians were getting destroyed in their tanks and BMPs near Kyiv. Has nothing to do with me being “sick.” Anyone following this war from Day 1 has seen this content.

Of course it's available all over Twitter. Where else would you get your news?

You're not desensitized. You like them. Otherwise you wouldn't have watched thousands of them. Try seeing what it looks like for real. A head half blown off. Or an abdomen opened up and intestines strewn about. Or a body or two burned in a vehicle.

The FPV strike videos from Magyar Birds capture over 100+ casualties in the matter of minutes. I don’t watch thousands of videos. Russian casualties are so high that’s the amount that can be captured.

I just watched two of their videos. In 5 minutes, 120+ Russian casualties. The vast majority are in Ukr for money. I have zero sympathy for them.

The maybe you should consider joining the Uke Foreign Legion. I can put you in contact with someone if you'd like to support the war effort through being a convoy driver.

Russian GDP PPP Per Capita is estimates at $52,000. For comparison, it's $68,000 for France and $78,000 for Germany

Given that Russia lost ~40% of GDP between 1992 and 1998, that's an achievement.

Economic fringe," my foot! It’s the world’s fourth-largest economy. On top of that, it’s technologically ahead of the U.S. in most weapons systems. And it’s managed all this despite having a smaller economy, all while recovering from the collapse that followed the breakup of the USSR. See what’s going on here, Big Gazza?

Russia is an economic nobody. They’re a gas station with a bunch of nuclear weapons.

Latest IMF GDP estimates. Russia is stagnant while the US grows to a $40T economy in 2031. I can’t speak for other countries, but no one in the US is jealous of Russia. They’re an economic afterthought and the gap will keep growing.

Keep believing that buddy, and keep shooting into your strides while watching warporn...

Old Klingon proverb.... When ones enemies willingly drink deeply from the propaganda well it only makes the agony of their defeat all that much sweeter...

BTW thanks for outing yourself as a ghoul, as it shows us all who and what you really are. I might greatly desire the elimination of the Bandera Kiev regime and its lunatic fringe, but I don't care much for reality of the slaughter. Taking out the bandera nazis is a bit like slaughtering chickens for food... its necessary for the continuance of life, but its an unpleasant business and only a sick soul finds joy in the act. The worst part is that many of the AFU troops have no desire to fight for this disgusting regime, but they are targetted by the regime for "conscription" for being ethnic Russians, and Kiev sees this conflict as a way to ethnically cleanse those who don't support their fever dreams of a mono-cultural mono-linguistic nationalist Ukraine.

Fail-22cRaptor has zero actual geopolitical or geoeconomic understanding of our complex world, and simply chooses to believe in US exceptionalism as though this is a team sport, a bit like chugging beers while watching NASCAR. Anyone who repeats McCains absurd nonsense of "gas station masquerading as a nation" is exhibiting a childs view of the world and probably has no actual understanding of the difference between Nominal GDP or GDP by PPP. Or the difference between Industrial Capitalism (todays Russia, yesterdays USA) and Financial Capitalism (current day USA). Or how the defining characteristics of how Globalism and Neoliberalism are implemented in the West by our corrupt greedy elites.

Whatever. I'm not here to educate children, I'm only interested in challenging stupid PROPANGANDA and idiotic LIES.

Footage showing the new Russian "Sokol" (Falcon) interceptor drone in action in Ukraine. The "Sokol" interceptor drone is being actively used to engage and destroy Ukrainian UAVs. The location where the footage was filmed has not been disclosed.

While funny, in all seriousness, I do know some people over there right now. Trying to navigate your way while GPS signals are being scambled is a real thing.

PPP at national scale is a worthless figure. PPP only has relevance at the individual scale. There’s no such thing as a national cost of living and PPP doesn’t translate to international trade. Real money is real power and the US has far more of it than Russia. PPP is third worlder cope







An no, Russia is nowhere near the US in terms of weapon systems or technology. The same Russia whose Navy has been so thoroughly pummeled by Ukr they no longer sail in the Black Sea? Russia who’s nearing Year 6 in Ukraine with 1,600,000 casualties stuck in the east? Russia whose homeland is getting smashed almost daily by Ukr drone and missile attacks? Russia who can’t achieve air superiority over Ukr and hasn’t from Day 1?

Meanwhile, US military operations in Venezuela were peak perfect. In Iran, air superiority was gained within 48 hours. Half its leadership killed, Navy entirely destroyed, 80% of its nuclear and military industrial bases destroyed. Iran pulled the Hormuz card and lost that too. Oil flow is back to prewar levels.

There’s no comparison between the two.

A ship en route from Israel to Romania sank off the Romanian coast after getting hit by 3 drones (no idea if they were UAVs or UGVs).

The 18 person crew (14 Filipinos + 4 Ukrainians) is ok.
