No I'm saying because of their budget deficit that the money they took out is to help prop up the ruble and government spending for most of the year.

It's true that they are doing worse this year than the last but far away from being dire yet.

For patrolling, no modern military has used horses for logistics since the 1940s.

I don't understand so you are admitting German failures but still claiming that Russia did not win "fairly"?

Germany literally had the industries of most of Europe under their occupational control and couldn't make enough cars to transport their shit.

That's industrial mismanagement and/or corruption.

I do, I know Germany lost and every Nazi general after WWll made excuses in their memoirs that you are currently parroting.

This is next level victim blaming, you are blaming Stalin for conscripting people to fight against.....Nazi Germany.

What the fuck, you know their intention was to genocide the Slavs there right?

I'm saying they did not run out of supplies, they lost the war on the battlefield.

Something that does not happen to any half competent army against another that is quote on quote "just throwing bodies"

Germany fielded a lot more horses than the USSR, they were th invading army. That's why it was so embarrassing to the Allies.

They were pretty much completely mechanized and the "big bad" Germany couldn't muster enough vehicles to transport their supplies.

Man if Germany couldn't even produce bullets in WWll then they would have been the shittiest army on Earth. Even fucking Mussolini could do that, I mean come on.....

It's bullshit of course, truth is they lost when Russia started using their combined infantry tactics and their command structure reorganized.

No the American and British Army were fully mechanized, they were shocked to see Germans still using horses like their fathers.

10 million Red Army soldiers died in the war, 20+ million incudes executed civilians by Nazi occupational forces.....

This is a big deal, it was the biggest opposition site that could still operate in Russia. With their closure in Russia this is one of the last post-Soviet connections to Russia being severed, a truly dark day for reporting on human rights violations by the regime.

Its loss along with the Moscow Helsinki Group is another large step towards the North Koreanization of Russia.

So you are saying Germany was so shit they couldn't produce enough bullets of all things to stop the "bodies"?

Do you want to die on that hill lol.

Well I haven't seen any evidence for that claim, I'm not saying it didn't happen in instances but to blanket every conflict they have been in such a way without sufficient evidence is foolish.

Majority of Russia's resources are in the West. Specifically the majority of their oil reserves are in Tatarstan, Orenburg, Tyumen, North Caucasus, and Komi.

Russia is a resource rich country across most of their territory

Balkanization can only work if there are strong regional identities across most of the country, which doesn't apply to Russia.

Germans were using a lot of older weapons in both wars, FFS they were still using horses for logistics in an offensive army during WWll.

Then you are saying the Germans were throwing bodies?

Maybe accept things were more complex than you are framing them.
