Russia can also send advanced military equipment to countries that are against NATO, can't it?

For example, to Argentina or Iran.

What’s fascinating, is that he continues to have opportunities to speak in public, without benefit of a teleprompter.

As it relates to this incident, Biden made clear this proxy war benefits Lockheed and its employees.

The US military industrial complex demands constant feeding.
What, we're supposed to give up the ability to defend ourselves with China, Russia, Iran, and the rest of our enemies in the world

The can and have for decades and decades back before man landed on the moon up to today.

(So has the US.)

That's not even mentioning the nuke plants they've built for people over the years.

Some of the Russia stuff is pretty good or at least better than it has looked. They're struggling with corruption, poor training, design issues etc.

Saw a really good youtube from a knowledgeable guy about what he thinks sank the Moskva without them deploying any of their countermeasures and basically he felt that the manual processes of watching the radar etc. failed and by the time they noticed it was too late. Russians are known to have pretty good Surface to air missiles.

The big problem is that "quantity has a quality all its own" doesn't hold nearly as true in the current era.

It's almost like when the invention of heavy artillery and machine guns changed warfare completely in WW1 but they kept using the same tactics.

The accuracy and firepower has really just changed everything.

Russia hasn't attacked the US or any other member of NATO. And for some reason, NATO thinks it's ok for them to supply arms to Ukraine and think that for some reason Russia won't retaliate, sure...NATO is trying it's best to go to war in Europe. It's strange they're doing everything they can to escalate the situation. This is all happening because the world financial system is on the brink. Debt is breaking the back of the system.

Now, reverse it, and sanctions have been threatened against China if they were to send weapons in to the other side of the conflict, that's a bit hypocritical, no?

WW3 has probably already begun. This time there are over 10,000 nukes, hypersonic and anti satellite rockets staring at each other.

We have a printing press, where we can print trillions in a blink of an eye to pay for stuff. We can give that money to anybody that needs it.

This would have no effect on inflation what-so-ever.

^Sarcasm Alert^

Both Russia and the US have a long history of supplying weapons to each others rivals.

Assuming that you're either foreign or very young and maybe have never heard of the Vietnam war as just one example? Korean war? Syrian Civil War?
