You show me some doomer articles from right wing press like they are a slam dunk while I base my figures on actual GDP figures and statistics based on the EUs and Russia’s published financial reports. These two things are not the same, I have not seen any real evidence of EU industry collapsing, you are just a massive drama queen who believes every article they read.

I showed you articles from mainstream financial publications. You dismiss them without addressing anything they say, and then in the next breath tell me that Russian economy is collapsing because some telegram channel told you so. The fact that you don't understand this is clown behavior is really phenomenal.

Russia has also not replaced EU companies with domestic industry, they have switched to Chinese products further increasing their dependency on China.

Yes they have, and you'd know this if you actually bothered reading the WaPo article I linked you earlier. You're once again projecting here because it's actually the EU that's further increasing its dependency on the US as European industries flee to the US due to high energy costs in Europe. That's what Biden's Inflation Act was all about incidentally. Trump's tariffs, which EU bent over for immediately, only made the whole thing worse.

NATO is increasing its weapon output but we are not under pressure to do so as we are not at war.

Literally every article in mainstream western media says that NATO is failing to increase its output, and obviously it is in a proxy war in Russia. The only reason Ukraine is able to keep fighting is because NATO is pouring hundreds of billions of resources taken from its own people into it every single year. That's why the standard of living in the west is now collapsing. That's why you dumb fucks have austerity so you can pay 5% of your GDP to NATO.

For all of Russia’s supposed increase in production it is not evident on the front lines. More Russian fluff and lies.

You keep on coping there dronie. Again, mainstream western media disagrees with your delusions. Here's the reality of Ukraine. The AFU is running out of manpower, and it should be obvious to anybody who didn't fail grade school math that Russia has a huge advantage here. Meanwhile, the west is now unable to continue supplying weapons at the rate it has been, especially now that Iran chocked off oil. And of course, since you keep braying about the economy. Why don't we talk about the fact that Ukraine requires $160 billion in external financing is required through 2028 to cover budget deficits, which peak at $103 billion in 2026 for defense alone. That's money coming from the pockets of mouth breathers such as yourself.

Always with the whataboutery with you guys isn’t it.

I mean we're literally comparing the situation of the two sides of the conflict here. The question is who will last longer. And since you keep screeching that Russian economy is collapsing because of military spending, we have to put that in the context of US military spending with the US being the main military sponsor of the proxy. Let me know if you need this explained to you using smaller words.

Further emphasising Russia’s dependence on China and vassal status.

It's called trade, but I guess it's difficult for somebody living in a vassal state to understand how trade between two countries works without one being taken advantage of.

This explains why you think the way you do. If that is where you get your information you are weeks behind and are likely unaware of Ukraine’s recent improvements in drone range and tactics that are destroying Russian logistics.

Weird how it's the Ukrainians that incessantly complain about Russian drones destroying their infrastructure at scale with Russia producing drones at an industrial scale while Ukraine has artisanal workshops. Again, anybody with even a couple of brain cells to bang together would understand who has the advantage here. Not to mention the destruction of most of Ukraine's energy production which obviously affects industrial production which needs energy.

Ukraine are the ones taking land now as Russia attempts to recruit more Kenyan mercenaries.

Go read up what a war of attrition is so you don't keep making a clown of yourself. This is frankly embarrassing.

Why does the Russian regime keep on turning off the internet in Moscow?

Why do European regimes ban Russian media and want to personally identify you all online? This doesn’t sound like something the winning side would be doing. Kid Starver seems worried…
