Argentina Trump is wild

They clearly won't let him win. Meaning the world is gonna be even more dangerous with Zombie Biden. I don't understand how Americans can take it - Joe's literally breaking apart right before your eyes, he's even worse than late Brezhnev. EU is fucked anyway though.

Wagner leader Prigozhin dies in a plane crash a few months after trying coup on Putin. What a coincidence!

Looks like the Wagner Chief had an “accident”

There are reports of a second plane taking off that Prigozhin might've been on. No body I.D. yet either so it might not have been him. But knowing what Russia is like it probably was him, and it was like all the other "accidents" that happened to people that threatened Putin's rule.

China is sliding so badly. Deflation, recession, economy is tanking, so many bubbles are bursting ... and all the CCP can do is hide the news, not actually make policy to fix it. As they say "The problem is the economy but the root cause is the politics". The problems in China are entirely political. Xi Jinping has rejected political reforms, emphasising party leadership over all else, promoting personality cults, advocating if one's loyalty isn't absolute they are absolutely not loyal, etc. etc. His zero-Covid policy has caused more secondary disasters than the virus itself.

One of the key drivers of China's economic development in the past few decades has been giving top priority to free relations with the US, however Xi Jinping's recent wolf warrior diplomacy, aligning with Russia, and other moves has caused China to gradually lose funding, technology and markets from the US and the west. This has essentially ended Deng Xiaoping's Reform and Opening Up policy and brought China back to a state of seclusion with the inevitable consequences being significant economic downturn, immense unemployment, and a return to poverty for many people. Absolute power without checks is the greatest corruption.

A recent Weibo comment about China made me laugh. It said "North Korea is both our past and our future", which is so true.

China’s alliance with Russia is crippling their country. I think the pressure might get to them and they might switch back to the Allies in the West and Japan. This might come with the request to acknowledge Taiwan as a sovereign state.

August update and some more pro-Kremlin propaganda:

Lancet strikes crossed 600, 124 last month.
https://lostarmour.info/tags/lancet

FPVs have really become people's project with dozens of shops producing thousands per month. Nearly 550 documented strikes, 237 last month, double July's number.
https://lostarmour.info/tags/fpv

M777 +12, 136 total
https://lostarmour.info/tags/m777

Also of note, ukraine's telecom provider Kievstar fucked up - its donation campaign in social media had a message "400,000 heroes will never answer a call". Accepting real casualties would mean hundreds of billions $ in compensation for families, so they are all MIA, dead from natural causes, suicide, etc.

After you've fucked up again and again with your expert forecasts on Russian economy, you should be ashamed to post anything about anything, you funny undereducated snob. At least put a pretty girl on your avatar, that China virus shit is years old. I hope you don't die in the next 10 years, so I can come back and give you some more shit.

After Summer offensive the nazi zombieland decided to scrape the bottom of the jar some more:
- new categories that were unfit before will be mobilized - people with AIDS, epilepcy, hepatitis, tuberculosis, blood, endoctrine and neural diseases, mental disorders
- limited fit for army service status is cancelled (that would eliminate the corruptive grey zone of health limitations)
- students getting second higher education would fall under conscription
- women of certain professions must register with the army and won't be able to leave the country
- legislation to mobilize 17 year olds is suggested
- campaign to deport illegal Ukrainian refugees from Poland and Baltics has begun


Update. Russia's 8-month budget deficit is at 2.4 trillion, 1.5% of GDP - shit, it's going down, but, but Russian economy is supposed to be breaking apart as per our resident expert on all issues. Income 17 trillion, down -3.5%, non oil and gas income 12.2 trillion, up +24%, oil and gas income 4.8 trillion, down -38%. Tax income: VAT +24%, profit tax +0.7%.

Nazi zombieland.

I bet Trumpers will use that one to justify the invasion of Mexico in a few years.

Wow, 1 US dollar now buys you 96 Russian rubles. That was 74 Russian rubles pre-war. And 1 USD now buys you 7.3 Chinese Yuan, which was 6.3 RMB pre-war. Value of one's currency is directly related to the strength of one's economy/country, so it's easy to see which countries are doing badly.

Rouch (new word for Rough plus ouch)

Haha, I like it.

September update.
Lancets - only 52 this month, 665 videos total. Putin visited production site recently - it's a huge building of former mall, used entirely for UAV production. New model debuted in MIG-29 strike, 70 km from the frontline. https://lostarmour.info/news/lancet_23_ ... dnepro_rub

FPVs are now being used massively, 550 videos in September, which is more than in all the previous months combined.
https://lostarmour.info/tags/fpv

Another novelty is guided bombs FAB used by airplanes 100+ km from target - about 100 videos, nearly 50 in September. Mostly 500 kilos, but 1,500 kilos have also debuted. Waiting for 3,000 kilos.

Ukraine's highly publisized offensive prepared by US and NATO, pumped up with magical Western tech, is going to an end with some 90-100,000 lives lost in 4 months all for what, 100-200 square miles of land, with some 300 leopards, challengers, bradleys, marders, sv90s, as90, caesars, amxs, krabs, paladins, m777s, mraps blown up on video.

After Azerbaijan's offensive and Armenia's betrayal of karabakh armenians, unrecognized Artsakh Republic is officially disbanded after 30 years, and its entire 120,000 population left to seek refuge in Armenia. Huge lines of cars and buses seen from space, empty cities and villages, former leaders arrested, oil depot blown up, people running in fear of ethnic cleansing. Same, but much worse, would have happened with 4-million population of Donbass if Russia hadn't got involved.

Joe Biden said it's 200, no? Looks like somebody didn't hear about purchasing power parity, trade balance, export, import. Back in 1998 dollar was 6 (six) rubles. And in 2008 it was 23. You should throw in market cap of US companies and Apple brand value to really show who's the boss. Or recalculate my salary in dollars and tell me how poor I am.
Some recent news - Russia's GDP is expected to grow 2.5-3% this year, production is +3% for 8 months, banking sector profit is the biggest in history, estimated at 3 trillion per year.

Why in the world is Hamas attacking Israel? I guess we need more info, Netanyahu is obviously gonna skew the facts in his favor, but it just seems like the dumbest thing they could possibly do. Palestine actually had western liberals on their side and were in perhaps the best situation to gain a nation independent of Israel. Now, with thousands of missiles and armed men invading their territory, the Israelis will be fully justified in conquering the West Bank.

Systemic genocide by one side and regular terrorist attacks by the other...

This would be the perfect time for the Jew genocidal Middle East countries/groups to team up and try to take out Israel cause the US already gave all their extra weapons to Ukraine. Seems like nothing can come good of this as even if that doesn’t happen Israel is saying they’re going to flatten Palestine for this.

Dude. Check our military budget over the last 20 years. We have hoards weapons that people don't know exist. You think we gave Ukraine our latest and greatest?

Israel probably is going to need to much help with this one, but it is remarkable they were caught sleeping, and obviously a horrific tragedy.

According to the internet, this attack was funded by Iran with the intention of getting Netanyahu to over-retaliate and squash a potential alliance between Israel and Saudi Arabia. And that will probably work. All liberalism and talk of equal-rights and two-state solutions go out the window when the individual citizen is afraid that they might be next.

Also we've only spent like one days worth of the military budget on Ukraine. There are plenty of weapons left if it comes to that. Which it won't cause Israel has plenty of weapons of their own. US needs to help them with Intelligence. Pull a Munich, take out everyone who was directly involved and hope that settles things down.

I think the response to this online has been relatively healthy, most people I’ve seen have been open to criticisms of both Israel and Palestine, there is less of people transparently exploiting mass deaths for a political message and painting it in a black and white way than usual, the cool thing to be on this one is nuanced not extremist. Maybe nature is healing.

The religion of peace strikes again!

Hamas are barbaric animals that need to be removed from the world. I said what I said. And I'm utterly disgusted at how many people I've seen online justifying the horrendous crimes against Jewish Israelis.

Yeah, there is a disturbing amount of support online for Humus, and an eerie amount of them come from the Defund the Police crowd. THIS is where the radical left angle criticism is super justified. Like I get the Israel government has been brutal towards the Gaza Strip recently, but what Humus is doing is straight evil. I’m afraid there is no saving people who feel justified in massacring innocent people and children. Evil like that cannot be rationed with. Evil is an emotional state of either hatred or pure apathy towards human life or both.

Fuck Humus and anyone who even tries to justify this. Evil.

What gets me is the whole "Israelis are colonizers" thing. Yeah, they are, but do these people think the Palestinians just magically appeared in that land on Day One? They conquered and colonized from the someone else who conquered and colonized it from someone else who conquered and colonized it from someone else who conquered and colonized it from someone else... What would they say if someone asked Turkiye to give Istanbul back to the Byzantines?
