Sure, that’s how empire work, vassals get protection as long as it’s expedient for the empire to do so. It’s also important to note that, it’s not like Trump just appeared out of thin air. Trump is a product of the declining material conditions and internal contradictions within the imperial core. The reason the US is pulling back from Europe is because the burden of the empire is becoming too much for the US to bear, not simply because an orange bad man was elected.

Last I checked this was a land war, so kind of weird to talk about great successes in Black Sea which are also rather questionable given that Russian navy still has dominance there. Meanwhile, the amount of military infrastructure Ukraine manages to blow up is minuscule, especially compared to the amount of infrastructure Russia blows up in Ukraine on regular basis.

The war on the actual frontline is still primarily conducted by artillery which accounts for 80% of casualties. However, even in drone production, Ukraine is far outmatched by Russia which does it on industrial scale.

The idea that Ukraine has been building up military production is frankly nonsensical because Russia is able to strike anywhere in Ukraine with impunity. This precludes Ukraine from having large military factories, and at this point Ukraine even lacks the energy infrastructure to run them because Russia has systematically dismantled it over the past three years.

Finally, aside from having shortages of literally everything, Ukraine is running out of manpower as its army is being attrited by Russia. Even if Ukraine was able to produce weapons domestically at scale, which it cannot, there aren’t people left alive to use them.

Answer is that weapons are largely sold to NATO countries as part of a protection racket by the US. Until the war in Ukraine started, nobody was willing to test the idea that US weapons were superior, and it was taken as given that NATO was the strongest fighting force on the planet. This worked as great marketing for US weapons industry. Now the illusion of superiority is starting to crack, and I’m sure weapons sales will take a hit as a result.

Yup, I’m guessing this is a direct response to that.

most of the war tourists are

Next you’ll tell me about meat wave assaults.

Overcomplication is a feature of privatized military production because it’s far more efficient at creating profits. Making a few expensive items in artisanal fashion and then charging huge maintenance fees is how defense contractors make money. They don’t want to build large factories and hire lots of workers to produce low margin items like artillery shells. They want to build a handful of F35s and milk each one as much as they can.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainians are entirely reliant on western weapons to fight, and are massively outgunned by Russia lacking production capacity of their own. If the US stops sending weapons to Ukraine then the war ends in a month.

The reality is that US companies continued to work with the nazis well into the war. And as the book I linked explains in great detail, USSR would have won the war regardless. Your whole premise here is nonsense born out of sheer ignorance. Instead of making inane comments on here and wasting people’s time, go read a book and learn about the subject you’re attempting to debate.

You can read the whole book, USSR was the main force fighting the nazis and did far more than all the allies combined. Your historical illiteracy is frankly an embarrassment.

The alternate reality you inhabit is fascinating. Meanwhile, here’s what a book produced by US military has to say on the subject.

The fact that you’re historically illiterate explains why you have ideas that have no basis in reality. Maybe read a book for once in your life.

That’s right, they just happened to fall of a carrier for no reason at all.

Seems like technological advancements of the past few decades are making US tech obsolete.

There is zero chance of Russia withdrawing from the current territories at this point. Also, why would Russia give shit if France and UK sent troops to Ukraine. Russian army is at around 1.5 million troops, while the EU could scrape up a few thousand troops at best. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/british-army-troops-ukraine-defence-b2701635.html

Meanwhile, the US provides the bulk of NATO accounting for over 70% of arms and majority of the troops. Without the US, there is no NATO. Anybody who understands basic arithmetic can see how absurd this whole notion is.

I mean Azov nazis are also an official unit of the armed forces of Ukraine, so sure any fascist can officially fight for Ukraine.

after past three years I’m not ruling anything out as too crazy

Given how the decoupling trial balloon went with the tariffs, I just don’t see how they plan to launch a war against China. It’s pretty clear that US economy will collapse within a couple of months. Meanwhile, I’m sure the US would love to have NATO as a disciplinary force in Europe, but you just have to look at what’s happening in Germany, France, UK, and Romania to see where things are headed. Right wing nationalists are rapidly becoming the most popular bloc in these countries and all of them are against the EU and NATO. I just don’t see how EU center can keep a lid on this going forward. Meanwhile, the trade war with the US is only making the situation worse.

or more succinctly

bro forgot how to capitalism

If you bothered reading the points in the law you linked, then you’d quickly see that he very much falls under the category of a mercenary. The fact that a bunch of marauders got together and call themselves an “international legion” doesn’t change the nature of what’s happening. Keep on digging though, it’s adorable.
