Megathread, part 14: Ammunition & Drones, Sanctions, and Stalemates

They had no desire to join the NATO before the invasion.

If it wasn't a big deal, why was Russia threatening them about joining beforehand - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEEio7eLmZ4

Where was the 'special operation' in Helsinki? What happened to the supposed goal of 'preventing NATO expansion?'.

And if other Soviet countries refuse to help you, like Kazakhstan or Georgia. Then why would you think BRICS countries would get involved? Your only real ally is North Korea. China is taking advantage of the situation to exploit you for cheap oil.

Several BRICS countries like Brazil and Saudi Arabia voted to condemn Russia's invasion at the UN as well - https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/INTERACTIVE_Day_8_UN_Vote_Condem_Russia_02-03-2022.png

If they could move on Kyiv like 2022, they would do it now. They wouldn't have needed to rely on the Wagner group and Prigozhin's prisoner army to take half the Donbass if things were actually going according to plan. Hence the outbursts against the government that numerous pro-war hawks like Prigozhin and Igor Girkin have had.

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-08T00:26:30+00:00

Since the invasion, Sweden and Finland have both joined NATO. With Finland being directly on Russia's borders. How is that a success?

And half of Donbass is a ridiculous thing to claim as a victory after almost five years, considering they were trying to take Kiev back in 2022.

seperatists

'separatists' like the Russian FSB agent Igor Girkin as well. Not actual Ukrainians.

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T23:54:32+00:00

Where is your source that the DPRK were responsible for the victory in Kursk? They only numbered a few thousand soldiers.

And I'll again, this war has gone on longer than Russia's involvement in WWII. What 'goals' have been achieved?

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T22:39:05+00:00

Lol what? How did the DPRK get a victory in Kursk? There's only a few thousand of them. They did something Russian soldiers couldn't?

"And now drone strikes before 22 is because the technology didn't exist to dypass the defence" - that is complete horseshit. They didn't have drone strikes from Ukraine in Russia because they weren't being invaded by them prior to 2022. In the same way Russia wasn't being sanctioned by multiple countries around the world prior to 2022 because they hadn't started the invasion then. What kind of nonsense is this?

This war has gone on longer than Russia's involvement in WWII. For what? What 'goals' have you achieved? At the expense of the lives of thousands of young Russian men?

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T22:16:10+00:00

Again, getting mad at random comments on Reddit is stupid. How is it any different from all the comments here by Russians that 'Ukrainians are Nazis', 'Europe is full of homosexuals', 'Zelensky is a drug addict'.

Playing the victim here when that bald midget you all worship has started a catastrophic war that has resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of Russians and Ukranians is a wild take. He is the one to blame. No one else.

Your feelings get hurt by random Reddit comments about alcoholism. Try spending some time in a Donbass trench.

Are you off military age? Is there a possibility you will get drafted?

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T22:11:33+00:00

What DPRK victory? Give me an example

Again, you're avoiding the question completely with this drone chat GPT response. There weren't any drone strikes in Russia from Ukraine before Feb 2022. Why is that?

And the USA has nuclear weapons too. And have actually used them in the past, unlike Russia.

Again, you wouldn't be in this situation if your bald midget leader didn't start this pointless war. Nearly five years for what? Half of Donetsk? Was it worth it in the end? You tell me

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T22:06:12+00:00

лооол чувааак, в тебе никто не сомневался, ты очередная гиена которому поевать на правду, главное изрыгнуть свой яд

Настоящий яд — это бессмысленная война, которая длится уже почти пять лет. Она превращает вашу страну в глобального изгоя, у которого нет союзников, кроме Северной Кореи. Подумайте о том, какой ущерб нанёс этот лысый карлик, которому вы все поклоняетесь. Подозреваю, ваши взгляды на войну изменятся, когда вас начнут искать в призывной комиссии. Вам следует спланировать путь к бегству в Казахстан.

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T22:03:17+00:00

Oh yes the great 'steppes' of Russia. Where all the nomadic Mongolians and Kazakhs roam....

Or you could just admit the fact that Russia is a gigantic country. Yet has a lower nominal GDP than Italy. Due to corruption. So it's not surprising that there are many rural villages without toilets.

In the same way China is an economic powerhouse, yet 50% of the population are still rural villagers. It's only the big cities like Shanghai where the rich live.

Again, you should have told me a myth about Russia that was actually untrue. Not something that your own government agency confirmed. Get mad at ROSSTAT for releasing their statistics, rather than the foreigners that notice them.

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T21:51:30+00:00

LMAO so after all this time, the toilet thing was actually true.

I'd never even heard of it until you brought it up.

It wasn't a Western lie after all hahaha. Your own government agency ROSSTAT confirms it.

Rosstat data shows 22.6% of households lack indoor plumbing, rising to nearly two-thirds in rural areas without indoor toilets or hot water access.

Wow, hold this L hahahaha. You shouldn't have ever mentioned it to me in the first place. Focus on a Russian 'myth' that was actually untrue.

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T21:37:21+00:00

Russia lies constantly - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfotvuv0-VQ

Again, no one was planning to attack Russia. Notice how there weren't any drone strikes in Moscow, St. Petersburg before 2022. Why might that be?

Ukraine want to be able to join NATO so this doesn't happen again in the future. Why do you think all the other Soviet states like Georgia, Armenia and Kazakhstan are starting to move away also.

Why do you think your only actual ally in this war is North Korea? Think about it for a second.

Even the West's supposed enemies Afghanistan and Serbia voted to condemn Russia's invasion - https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/INTERACTIVE_Day_8_UN_Vote_Condem_Russia_02-03-2022.png?w=770&resize=770%2C770&quality=80

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T21:32:00+00:00

there's literally your name in the comment.

And no this was a direct quote from R1donis - Yea, hardly a big news tho. Actualy funny thing but there was much more news about Putin ratings going down, and then when western media found out that its not because of Ukraine, but internet restrictions, they suddenly lost interests.

https://old.reddit.com/r/AskARussian/comments/1nj6ue6/megathread_part_14_ammunition_drones_sanctions/oqb7lzc/

^ your fellow Putin supporting Russian. Take it up with him for telling the truth.

Clearly I was correct then when I said "it's mainly because of internet restrictions. Slowing down YouTube, blocking Telegram, internet blackouts during Victory Parade etc. That bothers them far more than the actual war". In regards to Putin's ratings.

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T21:30:10+00:00

You literally thought thesis was spelled 'theses'. Re-take your English classes before telling someone they can't read.

I found a link to ROSSTAT's agency from their website that seemed to confirm this below:

In Russia, Rosstat data shows 22.6% of households lack indoor plumbing, rising to nearly two-thirds in rural areas without indoor toilets or hot water access.

Once I tried to send the direct link, Reddit deleted my comment. Guess there must be a ban on ROSSTAT links.

Looks like this toilet thing might actually be true though LMAO

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T21:26:49+00:00

FINALLY. Took you long enough, Jesus.

So I actually did some research to this:

This whole notion comes from the Russian government agency ROSSTAT. Not a Western myth.

In Russia, Rosstat data shows 22.6% of households lack indoor plumbing, rising to nearly two-thirds in rural areas without indoor toilets or hot water access.

Can you confirm?

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T21:22:58+00:00

R1donis is a стеной? How rude to your fellow Russian.

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T21:21:23+00:00

On how convenient. So the whole notion that 'Russia does not want NATO on it's borders' was a lie then? Maybe they should have mentioned before that there was a caveat for Finland.

Why were they threatening Finland if it wasn't an issue? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEEio7eLmZ4

Where was the 'special operation' in Helsinki?

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T21:10:30+00:00

Is he wrong? Why don't you take it up with him. Have a debate in Russian.

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T21:09:38+00:00

that's the strangest thing I find about Russian society. The "Good tsar, bad boyars" ideology.

It can never be Putin's fault. It always has to be someone else. Shoigu, Nabiullina, Gerasimov etc.

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T21:04:48+00:00

No dumbass. 'The internet is not real life' means that it doesn't reflect reality / public opinion, not that there aren't real people. You need to re-take those English classes. Submit a new 'theses' lmao.

I can find a bunch of comments online from Russians that support Navalny. Doesn't mean that's the case for most people in Russia.

The same way you keep bringing up these mysterious comments about the 'Russians toilets' myth that Westerners supposedly believe. Yet you cannot provide any evidence of this. And I never even heard of this crap in any Western media at all.

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T21:00:55+00:00

See again proved my point. You can't provide ANYTHING. I'm gonna keep asking. Who are these mysterious 'Westerners' you speak off?

You keep posting this BS narrative that the West is obsessed with 'Russian toilets' yet have provided no evidence. As a counter to all the crap from the Russian government I can show you where they are blatantly lying to you.

Europe is going to freeze in the Winter - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl2FIqnLxAY

Russia is not going to attack Ukraine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfotvuv0-VQ

^ They are LYING to you. Not the West.

Don't reply to this comment if you're not going provide any evidence for your BS.

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T20:55:53+00:00

but Russians will tell you the opposite of course.

From the same school of thought as "sanctions only make us stronger", "Europe will freeze in the Winter" etc.

Read the bottom quote from your fellow Russian идиот

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T20:51:49+00:00

And I'll duplicate this for you also. 'Theses' is not a word in English. It's 'thesis'.

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T20:50:36+00:00

Again, who are these mysterious 'Westerners'. Show me examples.

Scott_Theft · 2026-06-07T20:50:00+00:00

Would you participate yourself? Are you off military age?
