Summary

Germany warns that Russia is rearming faster than expected, replacing war losses and stockpiling tanks, missiles, and drones.

Putin has redirected Russia’s economy to fuel its military, aided by supplies from Iran and North Korea.

While there’s no clear evidence of plans to attack NATO, Russia is creating the conditions for it.

On the Ukraine front, Russian forces are advancing in south Donetsk, nearing strategic town Pokrovsk, a key supply hub and coal mining center.

Analysts suggest Putin aims to seize land before potential peace talks.

    Russia has faced a tiny fraction of NATO’s combined military strength and has failed to produce any meaningful results. Attacking NATO would be suicidal

          When Ukraine stops receiving arms from the USA the odds might switch towards Russias favour 😢

          Hopefully other countries can make up the difference.

          Yeah, war really brings out the stupidity in you people.

          You just can’t understand propaganda for what it is.

      If you think other allies would unite as a matter of course, you haven’t been paying attention.

        I’ve been at this long enough to know when I see an incredibly pessimistic take.

        People play patheticly when it’s only money involved, see how things change when shit gets real.

          You think entering a war is an easy clear cut decision? There’s nothing in article 5 that compels any ally to join a counterattack. If the US supports Russia and doesn’t do anything, it becomes a much harder sell to enter a war.
