US suffers defeat at the hands of Russia in arms race

[BlackWizard91]

In the war in Ukraine, Russia has managed to out-produce the West in terms of materiel and military equipment, showcasing rapid adaptation of its industry and army to any sophisticated weapons deployed by NATO while also making advances in modern warfare.

Moscow’s recent increase in military spending from 4.1 percent to 7.8 percent of GDP suggests that the Kremlin has also prevailed in his emphasis on state spending to boost arms production and consequently stimulate the economy.

Russia is not only looking to rebuild and expand its military-industrial complex but also intends to use it as a source of revenue. The Moscow exhibition of Western armor destroyed in Ukraine serves not only to boost patriotism among the Russian population but also to showcase to potential foreign buyers the shortcomings of Western equipment, particularly American weaponry. The key message is that Russian weapons are not only on par with Western ones; in certain aspects, they even outperform them and come at a much lower cost.

I don't think it's arms that are the issue.

It's about communicating with its people. Russians are mostly on board, because they're been hand fed total crap by Putin, whereas the US has been suffering from crap from Putin, from Xi and from god knows who else.

This means the will to win just isn't there in the US, even the desire to know why it might be important isn't there.

U.S. suffered defeat when it put Biden in office.

Russia has always had the capacity to produce stuff, they simply lack the capacity to invent stuff (which is why they have such a large army of industrial spies), or to produce stuff that actually WORKS.

No nation in history has mobilized at the rate and to the extent that the U.S. did during WWII. "We" could probably do it again if the need arose.

Russian military is better on Russian territory ... okay ... now I'd like to see Russian technology and equipment while in Mississippi ... see, it's not the American military that completely destroys all things Russian, it's the American People ...

The Russians are currently executing her engineers because their new fangled hypersonic missile is too slow ... and easily shot down with American AAA ... not to mention two years fighting the poorest nation in Europe ... [rolls eyes] ...

The Soviets tried that in the 1980's ...

What is with all the hysteria about Russia? Is not wanting NATO forces 600 miles from Moscow so unreasonable?

Russian "showcase" in Ukraine? I don't think so.
