Amazing thread 🧵:
Putin literally saved Russia from the West by rebuilding their military industrial complex from scratch after the fall of the Soviet Union

It seems obvious to me that Putin could end the war in Ukraine tomorrow if he wanted to, but he's purposely dragging it out to bleed the west of money, weapons, and eventually men. It's no wonder that President Trump called him "very savy" when he started the special military operation in Ukraine.
Do you think Russia is not losing money, weapons and men? Do you think is cost free?
Just before I came here I was reading reports that Russia just lost 2 ships in 2 days
A minesweeper called Kovrovets And small missile ship called Cyclone which was in launched with great fanfare last year.
Cyclone just happened and not confirmed yett
They're not losing anything important. All they're losing is old Soviet tanks, ships, and hardware as well as some criminal recruits. There's a reason Russia isn't using their stock piles of newer vehicles, like the T-14 Armada or Su-57. The MSM is saying it is because they're afraid, but we know the real reason. If they brought these out in large numbers, the war would be over in hours. President Putin is trading garbage for strategic advantage.
Well, the t14 doesn't really bring any significant advantages to this conflict, as it's basically had a relatively stable frontline for 2 years, there's not really a requirement for mobile artillery and Ukraine isn't throwing any tactically trained or well equipped armor units at the front line, so the requirement for many copies of Russia's most expensive to produce tank like the t14 aren't needed.
