      Neither China nor Russia is going to give Israel the time of day. I can think of no reason why India would, either.

        Russia is actually Israel’s #1 exporter of Jews, which is vital for maintaining their racial majority. As a consequence Russian-Israeli relationships are warm. Bibi and Putin are on very good terms.

        Israel already has very close ties with Russia as (iirc) its the country sending the most Jews to Israel to maintain the Jewish majority. That said, Russia sparing any munitions for anyone else is doubtful.

      Ain’t happening. I don’t know why India would even be involved here, and China has no need to project power over the middle east. Russia would be importing weapons from Israel, not the other way around.

        Well yeah, it ain’t happening since the US ain’t cutting off all support for Israel. That is known and countries have shaped their strategies around it. The US abandoning Israel would be a table flipping event.

        Russia would be importing weapons tech from Israel. Israel can’t come close to matching Russia on production volume, and Israel’s needs are a sliver of what Russia uses in Ukraine.

          Russia has been importing weapons from North Korea, and Israel uses absolutely ridiculous amounts of ammunition for their size.

      I’m not up to date with the Russia news. How are they starting to unravel?

      Edit: I like how the guy I was replying to provided a whole well thought out list and the mods removed it because he was talking bad about Russia. Classic lemmy

            first-time

            A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink.

            “I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.

            “Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”

            The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. “Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America.”

                Aside from the first link they’re all Wikipedia, and none of them are considered controversial in the least. This stuff is regularly referenced in scholarly works and covered in college curricula. It’s standard stuff in polysci, public relations, marketing, history, etc.

            Most of what that guy was posting has basis in reality though.

            For corruption, there have been plenty of instances of high up officials being arrested for corruption, such as: https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/4/24/russia-arrests-deputy-defence-minister-suspected-of-corruption

            For the oil refineries, there have been a number of drone attacks on them. There was one just the other day that was well documented https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/05/10/ukrainian-drone-attacks-oil-refinery-in-russias-kaluga-region-a85086

            And for Russian morale, that one is harder to verify but does seem roughly true: https://cepa.org/article/russias-army-is-in-disarray-but-will-keep-fighting/

              I wouldn’t disagree that Russia has corruption, but I don’t think that means much. It’s much less corrupt now than it was when Yeltsin’s government let the Western shock therapists come in and plunder the country. Putin’s government kicked them out. Ukraine is famously the most corrupt country in Europe, though reports about that mysteriously stopped in 2020. Just based on the cost-plus model of our military-industrial complex alone, the US is very corrupt.

              And I wouldn’t disagree that Ukraine’s drones will continue to be a challenge for Russian infrastructure. They can only reach so deep into the deepest state landmass on Earth, though. Eastern Russia is largely barren, though, and I’m not trying to discount the drones by arguing it isn’t.
