Turns out that cheap and reliable weapons that Russia is able to pump out in mass quantities work a lot better than fancy artisanally produced NATO weapons.

This is my favourite part of the article. Western logic distilled.

“The Russian army probably has more Javelins than the British Army now,” a British source said, adding that although he and his colleagues supported Ukraine’s fight against Russia, the effort to support Kyiv “was built around lies”.

But I've read a few articles about how NATO tactics just don't work. It's hilarious to me that after 3 years, they are still insisting that their methods are the best, even though Russia has proven very effective at dealing with western materiel. The sheer arrogance, even though they haven't fought against a peer in well over half a century, much less won a major war.

We see this across the imperialist nations, the arrogance coupled with the ruling class being true believers in their own lies that they feed to the working masses. It's astonishing.

It is also quite heartening to know the inheritors of the crumbling empire are oblivious to the cracks.
